Do any of you know that this is not merely a Grand National? A very rare GNX that most used ones go for $40K or higher. Now while I've never seen one that was never titled I don't know what to expect these to go for but I can assure you that most of you are underestimating this car and its value. I'll go confirm my specs and edit this post.
Edit:
Total production of only 547 in 1987. It was dubbed by Buick as the GN to end all GNs. All conversions were done by ASC/McClare. It was equipped with a special ceramic coated turbine housing turbo, larger intercooler, special GNX Turbo Shield, Special PROM programming, special transmission valve body mods, torque arm, panhard bar(prevents lateral rear axle movements for all you FF guys), fender vents, wheel flares, 16" black mesh alloy wheels wearing 245/50VR16 Gatorback's, special badging, full analog instrumentation, and a personalized serial number linking the owner to the car. To get parts you have to prove you own one. The Awesome GNX produces 275hp and 360ft lb of torque and was capable of mid 13 second runs in factory trim. With slicks these could easily break into the 12s. If you want to know how these things performed on the street, just ask anyone you know who drove a 1987 Corvette.Last edited by Jarrett; 02-20-2006, 02:20 PM.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint.

I was thinking 100k is way too much..but then I saw the details.
Never owned, never registered, never sold off the dealers lot pretty much, then held in storage its whole life. Less than 10 miles on the odo. Its brand new!
on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
where you been, is something wrong?
i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

Yeah, GNX's were super rare, and quite fast too. Even the regular Grand Nationals were the fastest domestic production car at that time, excluding the GNX obviously (basically, faster than a Vette, lol). My dad worked for a Buick dealership when they came out, and said he only ever saw one of these. A semi dropped it off one evening, the general manager made sure it got put up on a lift so it wouldn't get stolen, and it continued to its destination the next morning. On a similar note, he said he did get in a bunch of normal GN's, people drove them really hard, and ended up messing up the turbos.
