Well, after suffering the past couple of months after selling my TR, I am in the new house (the reason I sold the T) and am ready to get another. I have basically narrowed it down to 2 cars, but have been having a terrible time deciding between the 2. After owning only T's the past 7 years, I originally struck out looking for a GN or WE4 car. However, I can't get away from the T's, so one of the cars is an '87 T.
1. '87 T, 56k miles. Charcoal grey with chrome package. The car has a show quality paint job and looks like a 30k or so mile car. Stock except 36lb injectors, walbro, and ATR exhaust. Also has Weld wheels and new tires. ALso has stock wheels/tires.
Price $10500
2. '87 Gn 31k miles. Factory paint (very shiny). The car is absolutely mint, but could use a good engine shine/detail. The doors are tighter than any I've seen on a G-body yet. The only flaw is that the lock up silenoid seems to be going out because the convertor didn't unlock when slowing for a turn. He will have that checked out today.
Price $12750.

Both seem like good deals, but I need some thoughts about which way to go. I've always wanted a GN, but I also like to have something a "little different" to take to nats (most of you guys know that about me already).

As an aside, either car will have Simmons wheels put on in short order.

Sounds like the T suits your tastes better. The GN is going to look like every other gn out there but the t is a little different. How much did that other one sell for anyway?
 
If you're talking about the other GN I was going to buy, supposedly $12k. Compared to the two I'm looking at now, I think that's too much. Well, let me rephrase that...it's more than I would pay for one with 79k miles. Still a beautiful car though.
 
IMO, it depends on if it's going to be a daily driver or weekend warrior.

Driver: T
Weekend: GN

ahhhh. I'll leave disclosure up to TTA1401, but I guess I can say that I got my asking price (which was still too low IMO).

Whatever I buy, it will be just a "toy" with weekend cruising and maybe some shows.
