When I was kid I remember seeing these black cars all lined up at the local Buick dealer in Hicksville Ny Detto buick at the time. Since then I've wanted a GN. Never had the means. Over the years I've been involved in Camaros and various muscle cars never was able to et a GN.
I'm turning 40 soon and I've been looking for a GN for a while. Looked at stolen recoverys and messes nothing worth buying.
My wife had been sneaking behind my back to take out a loan to buy me a GN she was going to have my brother look for one. I sniffed it out but didn't take her serious. There was a an 87 GN on eBay and Craigslist here locally on the island. Kept my eye on it played phone tag a little while I scoured cl for every t type and GN that was for sale. Even started looking out of state have some friends in Michigan was considering a white t type and even one in texas. The seller of the GN wasn't the owner and at first I have to admit thought it was another GN with a story, but i kept check the auction and checking the cl ad everyday. So on the 4th in the rain I went and saw her. . Went home thought about it the wife said get it get it now it was meant to be. So after some haggling and im sure driving the guy a little nuts we came to what I think was a fair price. Good thing I figured out her plan she was ready to spend twice what i paid on one located in bkln.
Car needs some attention but nothing major I'm really happy with it. We don't have much time here and I'm doing my best to have no regrets, can't wait to start working on it with my sons. Car pulls really nice. Ill be on here for advice quite a bit
Thnx to Jackie my brother and wife :0)
