Ebay Title : VINTAGE FACTORY GM 1987 BUICK GNX NATIONAL TURBO T CAP AND SHIRT - MOLLY DESIGNS Item #: 295660038251

I watched this sale on TV and was OUTRIGHT SHOCKED that the GNX sold for so low. It was in the low 80s. This guy MUST have been on CRACK and needed a fix really bad, to sell that (new) car that low!!! That was a 6 figure car ALL DAY LONG!! But the surprising thing was that directly behind the...

I remember mentioning this car in another post but GNX #548 DOES EXIST. I haven't seen it since the late 90s - early 2000s. The last time I saw it, it was in the yard of the owner who lived in a northern suburb of Chicago. The guy was named Gary and he repaired and built turbo Buicks. His work...

Just curious...was this deal ever made?? That's a pretty sweet Shelby. Its actually QUITE a compliment if someone wants to trade a nice Shelby for a GNX.

Can you contact me about numbers 56 and 531?? Thank you.

I'm glad that "GNX-Jerry" mentioned the 1987 Chicago Auto Show featuring the GNX. I had completely forgotten about that!! Let me tell ya what I remember about that auto show.... In 1987 the Buick display featured two black turbo cars: a GNX that was on a rotating turntable and a regular Grand...

Yes!! By having that number, you have a rare collectible. It came in a special box. I think only 2000 or so were originally made. The first 547 came with a special printed poster that depicted various special Buick cars built through the years including Riviera, GN, Y-Job, etc. Only the...

Having owned both cars (GN & GNX) I can tell you hat the vents work very well. You can put your hand to the side and feel the heat coming out. Heat that helps kill the GN. The vents went way through from the outside to the inside of the engine compartment. The things that were against the...

The story might be true. Stranger things have happened in the world of cars, so I don't doubt anything. "There's a TV show called "Chasing Classic Cars" and this guy finds cars in barns and all over the place. To Hunter: by now you should know that the GNX has some value so simply offer the...

I really doubt if the actual number of those still around is accurate. A few were cloned and I know of two that I owned that might not have been registered. As in ALL turbo Buicks, they weren't that well made from the beginning.

There was actually a 548 made. I saw the car. It wasn't an official car and was built by an employee of ASC who had a Grand National and wanted it modified with the rest of the group. I haven't seen it since the mid -late nineties. It was located in a northern suburb of Chicago. But there...

The first GNX that I had ever seen on the street was at night in the late summer of 1987. At the time I owned an '86 Grand National that I had ordered and bought new from a dealership in Chicago in the summer of 1986. I had seen the car on the street parked alone near some other cars. At the...
