Hilarious to me that you wouldn't slightly be concerned about a GN, but that a Somerset would get you to start a thread like this.

The Automotive equivalent of Clickbait.
He's going to make his GN faster with one easy trick...
Well, let me ask you this...Hilarious to me that you wouldn't slightly be concerned about a GN, but that a Somerset would get you to start a thread like this.

Last time you saw an amateur restoration/survivor or better somerset in person or at a car show?

Both are the same thing - an appearance package. One is much more rare than the other, and it ain't the gn
The main reason that comes to my mind is that the Somerset had very little going for it then, and not much more now. Throw a good set of wheels on a dog turd and it will look great, it won’t be worth anything or be desirable. A GN needs nothing out of the box. The main upside to the Somerset is that if you like them then at least they don’t cost $20k+. You can also make a fake Somerset and nobody cops an opinion because nobody cares. Try that with a GN. I’m glad to see anybody fixing any G-body I don’t care what it is, I just don’t get upset when they make it look how they want it to look. It’s their money and their car.
All just one man’s opinion. 👍🏻
Not too many can fake a Somerset because the badges aren't reproduced. There are 2 sweet ones on here, and cutting a shifter hole does not count as hacking it up.
I could have brought a nice Summerset two years ago fifty miles from my house for 1200. It needed carpet and a different seat. Someone took them out. Almost went after it. I can not touch a junky Grand National for that kind of money. I also seen a mint 88 Buick GS in town tonight.
I'm guessing there's about 6 people in North America who would recognize a Somerset as something "special".
About a month or so ago, I saw an '81 here in a suburb of Minneapolis at a stoplight. It was 2-tone brown & gold with the turbine wheels still on it. Had the brown interior with the piping. Headliner was sagging down pretty bad, but not a bad looking car at a glance.
Surprisingly little rust for your part of the world and being a 79-80 car
