Nice article. Thx for sharing. I remember once when I ran across a real GNX at a private dealer. He wanted only $35k for it. I think it had around 15k miles too. If we could only turn back time.

The dealer I used to work for used to say "every thing I have is for sale.....except for my wife....and she's for rent, and son, you don't have enough money for either":biggrin:

Perpetuating the myth

"...ported and polished heads..."

For the final year of the car's production in 1987, Buick pulled out all the stops, commissioning Automobile Specialty Co. and McLaren Engines, known for its work on race cars, to make the GNX the baddest of the bad.

I thought ASC was American Sunroof Company?
