the car started as a 1982 cutlass supreme diesel. lots of body work to make it look like a gn, and a duramax v8 from a chevy truck.

Talk about an indentity crisis? The only thing "GNX" about it: the emblems. GN clone, maybe- but for the engine. I WOULD like it, cause it's unique- BUT: Such a wannabe!

True, but its definitely an awesome custon, not something i would call a GN

EXACTLY! It's a "clone", but for the engine and interior. The owner tried to call it a "GN" when he badged it. The GNX is the ultimate GN. SIMPLE? I agree that it's an excellent job of customizing and they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I just (personally) don't like clones/phonies.
