I noticed the "handi-tag". Have the pedals been modified for ease of operating the car? I know several people with "hand-controlled" GN's, so I had to ask. Nice car you've got there and you've given alot of details on it. GLWS.

Yeah, I use a left footed accelerator due to a C4-C6 Spinal cord injury in 2004. I can take it out n 10 seconds for anyone to drive. Here is a small video of my GN that I sold about 3 years ago and I'm kicking myself now for it. The video shows the car and I tell a quick story about my injury.

THANKS!
 
A few I took today next to my step-dad's 87 GN
