Not really. Typical owner here has one, MAYBE two modern cars, in the $30K-40K range.
That Wagoneer was headed for the scrapyard. I picked it up for about $1,800. Minimal surface rust on the floor board (chassis and body are rust-free) and a perfect LS swap candidate (already have a 5.7 LS1 & 4L65E trans waiting for a donor vehicle).
Same story with the E30 and cutlass. All in the sub $3K range and neglected. I just hate to see them recycled into the disposable soulless garbage that is today's cars.
The current car list atm is as follows :-
1989 BMW E30 - Track car (5.7 LS1 / T56 / Gutted)
1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass - Future Weekend Cruiser (5.7 LS1 / TH200-R4)
1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - Future Camper / Expedition vehicle (5.7 LS1 / 4L65E / NP241c)
2013 GMC Sierra 4.8L RCSB - Daily Truck
2014 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport - Current Offroader
2008 Infiniti G35 Sedan - To be soldAlpine White 1989 E30 Coupe - LS1/T56

I've got the new fan setup mounted and wired up. After a lot of measuring for clearance, the fans I ended up using were Maradyne/Summit dual 12" puller fans with built-in shroud.
These fit almost perfectly onto the Mishimoto R32 radiator setup I'm running and cover the whole radiator core and best of all they clear all the accessories upfront. Should perform even better than the single 16" pusher I had before. The fans are wired up using a 3-relay setup identical to factory GM setup. The PCM controls the fans through pins 33 & 42 and can operate them in low/high speed depending on ECT.
