GNX clone or the real thing?

[klcsmooth]

I was wondering how you tell a real gnx from a clone. I have been noticing this black regal around town for a while <2or 3 times in 2yrs> When I first saw it it was indecent shape but he was moving to fast to get a good look. I did notice the heat vents on front fender.My first thought clone what are the chances of a real gnx being here. The next time I saw it he had front driver side damage metal bands holding up lights.Maybe a year passed I saw him flying by with two donuts on front and back passenger side. I really wanted to stop him and find out his story but everytime That I saw him I wouldn't be in the 87gn so I couldn't catch him or get his attention.Well last week was different I was out in the gn cruising I pass this run down hotel and what do I see that faded black car. For the next couple of days I go this route on purpose the car was still there. Today I pass by and I see him outside so I pull up and talk to him. I find out this is the owners cousin the owner is to intoxicated to come outside. the cousin doesn't know much about the car I lookinside it has the borg warner gauges,gnx on seat,badge#239 on passenger side,flares with macferen 16 rims. I know all these things can be cloned but what sold me was when I looked underneath at the rear end I saw the big gnx and the one fork shaped control arm hooked to rearend going back to the frame. I don't think he wants to sell it but considering the shape he and the car are in he might.If this car is real then this is really a sad day in buick history. Any tell tell sign of a real gnx would be helpful thanks

Kick his ass and take the keys from him, He doesn't deserve a true GNX.

I was thinking more on the line of hanging him from a tree and striping him naked and then beating him with a cane. After that then do his girlfriend or wife while he watched. I would kill for a GNX.

Just make him an offer he can't refuse........

I don't know what to say. Terrible thing to hear, I am furious and sad at the same time. But who knows the guys situation. Maybe that is the only thing the poor guy has left and is simply down on his luck.

Ah, the voice of reason from NC- after all, it is the Christmas season, and we should be looking at lemonade, not just lemons....
