Original owners?

[GullsGN]

So, as the 87 GN approaches 25, how many of us are the original owners, bought new? Any guesses? I am one.

 

[fubar2.5]

[TurboDave]

Over here. I got a leftover in Feb of '88. They had a GN that I wanted but it got sold before I could get my act together. It was between the one I bought and a Silver one.

I am too!...:wink:

[Nick Micale]

Built in Dec. 1986 and has ~9K miles, but now has GNX type wheels and no ground effects package since the 3rd paint job.

Delivered with junk paint, so the dealer repainted it in 1987.

That flaked off last year.

After it was stripped to bare metal, it now has a "lifetime" warranty with BASF paint!

Bumpers and air dams are still white.

 

[six is enough]

1987 Grand National 8000 miles. Bought new and untitled in 2000.

 

[GSX-PKV]

Bought my WE4 new in March of '87. Has 38,000 miles now and still looks great and has still some of that new car smell in it!

 

[longball]

me too........I think frame, left front fender, hood, and trunk lid is just about the only things left from '87........a few other odds and ends..... and the VIN...so it's still a 1987 Grand National.....

My late Dad bought the '87 Grand National in May of 1987....though I'm the owner of it now and still in the family, could this count for a little?

Sure, Bruce, since your butt has been in one seat or another since it was new. That, is, of course, if you are over 25 yourself. Me thinks you are:biggrin:.

Oh, BTW, mine has 144k on the unopened engine.

 

[GullsGN]

Geez, it looks like we are rarer than the GNX!
