Default SS or GN

If you had your Fbody for a while and came across a 32,000 mile super clean GN would you trade ?

$18,000 for the GN.
Maybe my SS is a little less.
What would you do?
Thanks

Well then do it. I always loved & wanted a GN back in the day when they were new. Sweet cars. I like my SS, not trading it for nothin.

GN's have never really bottomed out... the market has always been strong for them. The F-bodies however... they're on the way to hitting rock bottom... at least relative to the GN. I've always loved them, but they've always been out of my price range. Seems like a good deal, if the car is in as good a shape as it sounds.

GN all day long if it's clean...They are only going up in value as your SS is only going down...

Mod'd, the GN's can haul *** too... Interiors suck *** though... I wouldn't mind a clean one to fart around town in...

Owners ad

"I have an all original 87 Grand National that I am interested in selling. It is a solid roof early build 87 car. Built in June sold new in Sept 87. It has P/W, PDL, tilt, cruise, posi, driver's remote mirror, AM/FM cassette stereo radio with power antenna, and digital dash. The car does not appear to have ever been modified in any way. It has all the original date coded parts except for basic maintenance items such as a recent factory style exhaust system and new tires. The paperwork, history, condition and overall feel and solidity of the car all verify and indicate the mileage to be correct at 32K. The interior is like new and still has a faint new car smell. All the weatherstriping is still soft and has no age cracks. Exterior is extremely nice for a mostly original paint car. All the trim is like new and is still dark with no dents or scratches. I have most of the original booklets & receipts, and the original window sticker/dealer add a tag. Overall it is an extremely nice, low mileage, well-kept, always garaged 87 GN in #2 condition. Pictures available upon request, and I will post some as soon as I can reformat them to fit ASAP, Asking $20,500."

Would the GN be your DD or just a toy?

why would you want to trade a nice v8 in for a supercharged v6 that looks like an 80s monte carlo. I would buy the f-body over the GN

^ Deuche. . . .

That is a amazing Grand National.

I would never drive it as a DD at all. . . Just keep it as is. Or go all out. . . .


Man, that is a amazing car.
