I do. And before we get too enamoured with pure stock GNs with the original windshield washer fluid, let's recall some of the things these cars came with courtesy of the General that aren't so wonderful:
non-adjustable fuel pressure regulator
puny fuel injectors
cheesy fuel pump with collapsing sock and swaged pick-up
inadequate fuel pump wiring
inadequate grounds
dime store exhaust
180* thermostat
cheesy, paper thin thermostat outlet
no gauges, unless you call the factory boost and tach gauges
the world's heaviest wheels, with flaking chrome and paint
center caps that leave at a moment's notice
mediocre tires
cheesy hoses and hose clamps
a small, restrictive, poorly mounted intercooler
scammer bear motor mounts and control arm bushings
1 wire oxygen sensor
weak sister transmission
puny torque converter
buck apiece shock absorbers
missing body mounts
air box from hell
no braces
corvair turbo
non-adjustable wastegate actuator
lean-o-matic doghouse
rope seals
I could go on and on, but this is why we modify our cars. So let's not portray modded cars as "molested"...

I think you hit the nail on the head here, Personally I like LOW Mile UNMOLESTED cars, there are a LOT of Great Looking cars visually, then you see the HIGH Miles (>35,000+/-), and more importantly QUESTIONABLE Rebuilts(Motor, Trans, Etc...). A lot of the show queens and rebuilds may Look good, but they won't get a Nickel over 10,000-12,000 grand TOPS!!! A friend of mine has a GN with 69,000 and is almost a Ground up Rebuild, Paint, ect., all done right, he tried to sell it for OVER 20k and was laughed at...thats just the way it goes!!

Ed,
Thats about right, but it took you almost a YEAR to sell it, and you got lucky, most never go over 12, maybe 13. My buddy got offers of as high as 15, and, like yours, his was TOTALLY rebuilt
including Trans by a Reputable Trans guy.
Now as you know, especially recently, VERY Low mile cars, particularly GN's, are going through the ROOF...........
