Re: Mid 80's GNXs
I think I'll be looking at the GN model. As Paul said, better investment ,even though I know of only a handfull here in OZ anyway.I have never seen one up close in OZ, and am yet to drive one. Im a big guy,6.3 and 150kgs! So I hope they can accomodate the 'larger' guys! lol.
I will have to wait a little to licence the car, they have to be 25yrs or older in my State for LHD registration. I will not have to convert the steering to RHD. Although I do have a dealers licence plate so I can drive the car on occasions until the 25th anniversery comes.The plus is that a pre-1989 import is less hassle and paperwork to import into the country. Later vehicles req Gov't recognised pre-approval for compulsory RHD steering conversions.[ And that can cost,EG: A brand new GMC truck will cost around AU$40K to convert to RHD!!] Being a pre 89 vehicle I can avoid the RHD conversion.
The Buick V6 engines were fitted in our Aust Commodores from 88-current models!.No turbo, GMH instead decided to have a supercharger option on some models. GMH have refined the 3.8 engine over the years and it is currently the GMH main staple engine, it is a very good performing , quiet engine. Anyways, the bonus is that the mech parts are avail and aussie mechanics are familiar with the engine and tuning.
cheers Dave
