Actually; 3. Virtually; 4 or 5.
I have an 84 that my wife and I bought new.
An 87 that probably holds the record for longest engine rebuild (somewhere around 8 years; and still counting; I’ll have to check).
And; another 87 that I bought off the board last year.
I’ve also had two 84 GN’s that I let myself get talked out of about six years ago. I learned how to pull the crank and the #5 piston out the bottom on these cars.
I’m currently looking for a nice 84 GN; and or an 82 GN.
That makes three I have (the two that run, and the one that uses up most of the garage and keeps the dust off of some of my lawn equipment); and possibly one or two more in the hopefully near future.
Right now; I’m just nailing myself. I been through about five wiring harnesses with the 84’s so far; so I’ve picked up a couple of spares for the car I have; and the possible GN in the future. I’ve bought an odd set of Stage I pistons that I’ll probably never have a block to use them in (they’re STD size; and I’ll probably never get another STD block). My wife would surely tell you that I’ve bought too much stuff and there’s no reason to store it any longer for cars that don’t run or that we don’t even have. As for what I could nail you guys for in the future on the STD Stage I pistons is anyone’s guess; but I’m thinking they’ll be a low priority for most of you guys in the future. If I were going to start my nailing supply cache; it would probably be filling with NOS trim and GNX parts rather than chipped marker lenses and 16 position Max Effort stuff. A real smart fellow would probably buy some nice cars and part them out; but that will never happen on here - or would it? Nah; it’s against the rules of the board anyway; running a business without being a supporting vendor. Not this bunch.
Nailing you guys; I know better than to even try. You can search; but the items I’ve sold on this board are; a set of guaranteed cracked stock headers (priced at $0; yes; FREE) that went pretty quick, and two shifter handles that GN4U2C sold to me. I paid $40 for a Gray one and a Red one; and got Gray and Brown. All I wanted was the Red one; but G-Force took both off my hands for what I had in them. GN4U2C has never replied to PM or Email. Maybe he died shortly after the sale; just another one of the pitfalls that buyers must deal with. G-Force only needed the plungers out of the handles; and it looks like he resold one of them for $15 shipped. Lots of big money going around here rather than folks getting nailed.
Maybe I’m selling the stuff on eBay. A quick check reminds me that it’s been well over a year since I sold anything on there. As I recall there’s been a couple of bicycles, a couple of guitars, some Quadraphonic tapes (remember those?) and a Quad phonograph cartridge. Please keep checking back on eBay; ‘cause I’ve got some guitar amps I’ll be putting on (very soon if my wife has anything to do with it).
You asked!
Joe
