Thumbs up GNX - Wow, less than 10 miles

Man, talk about a nice ride. I would really like to have this. I wonder how much it will end up selling for?

Yeah, pretty much a time warp car. There seems to be a handful of GNXs and Grand Nationals with very miles on them.

My 86' GN still has less than 10 000 miles on it. This summer I think she'll finally turn over into five digits.

my dad has been trying to find a GNX in a good condition, just haven't been able to. he use to work on them back when he had a speed shop. he said he would change up engine management on a GNX and have the needle buried at 15psi and the car would pin you.

i just showed him it, he said if i had the money right now he'd buy it. to bad the business has been slow. i'm drooling over it, i hope it was at least started up and let run once a month.

Wow! $30,000 for that car in 1987. The value of that car has increased at a rate of over $3,000 a year.

When I was still living in the States there was a Dealer in Danbury Conn. (Robert Buick-Pontiac) that had a new GNX never registered sitting on the showroom floor. According to the last news I had from my former home the car was still sitting on the showroom floor in pristine condition with no miles.

Cool Grand National!

Buick needs to come back with this. I think this would be the only Buick other the Reatta that is cool.

When I think Buick for some reason I think of an old Senior Citizen couple driving one.

I know seriously... It's hard to believe that they did make a kick ass car at one point.

I'm still in shock that it cost 30K back in 87!

What is that, probably like 45K maybe 50K now?

Buick will continue to be the old farts division of GM. Now Pontiac is getting a nice infusion of muscle into their lineup with the G8. Lutz has stated that Pontiac will become the performance division of GM. Well other than the Corvette.

$54,700 in 2007 dollars. So, it would be fairly pricey. (Even a fairly loaded 08 Shelby GT 500 comes in a few thousand $$ shy of the $54,700 mark.)

I did not know the GNX package cost $11k alone.

It's really nothing special. IMO it's a waste of a nice car that should have been driven. 9 miles?? who the hell cares? That means nobody got to enjoy the car for what is was meant to do. DRIVE IT. $108k to be part of a history only a few hundred people care about. LOL

Dry rot

I wouldn't drive that thing at all, if I even beyond enough money to afford it I would replace the important hoses and fluids ASAP. Hell I'd rather find one with a bit more miles and rebuild the thing and pocket the extra change and have a much more powerful GN
