Ok. guys after trolling around a few months now, reading, absorbing the wealth of information on this board I have decided to introduce and post my info and story. Well growing up in he 80's I fell in love with these cars. Actually a friend of mines father that I went to High School with used to have a shop a few blocks from my house. All he did was tweak and work on GN's. The shop was in Melrose Park, I can't recall the name of it but his name was Pete. I would see GN's drive in and out, I think his specialty was putting NOS in them.
Anyway, 30 years later I finally found the GN I was looking after a few years of searching. Before I knew of this website. I would have probably have had found one earlier if I knew of this site.
So the requirements a fairly low mileage GN, CF5 code, highly optioned RPO list, and it had to be from the south. No rust. no salt and highly documented and cheap!! Really didn't want much! ;0)
So I bought my girl from a non member in Oklahoma. I had it hauled up here and here are pics and a few details. He purchased the car as a keeper but he fell in love with a GNX and bought it so he sold his GN to me.
I brought her home in June and put about 1000 miles on her only because of the excitement and the little kid in me Every time i take her for a cruise I get High five and nice ride! Love it!
So here are a few pics and look forward in being an active member of the community. Already have bought a few things off some members here. So my biggest dilemma. Whether to tweak or not to tweak!!! She has 35 k miles on her. I know these cars are going up in value slowly but where is the fun if you can't drive them fast!! Anyway my heart is in keeping her stock. The only thing that has been done to her is the catalytic converter being pulled and I have that in the trunk. Nothing else other than the aux cable being added to radio oh and of course a scanmaster. Everything works and its a beautiful UN molested car.
So just wanted to introduce myself and say, "What's up from Chicago?!!" Also wanted to get the opinion of other members if I should do some minor tweaks here and there to give her a little umph. also wanted to pretty up the engine bay. Where i can bolt basic things and in a weekend return her back to her original state. What are the opinions of members and recommendations? engine bay?
I already have some GNX replica (TA wheels) waiting for the spring to install. Keeping the originals.
Again guys! Awesome Forums!! and here she is.
