Pics Of The Last GN Ever Built

["Turbo-T"]

The emblem on the header panel I think just happened to be one extra they had and they decided to put it there as a way of labeling it as the last GN...and to rid of their now surplus inventory of parts they no longer had any use for.

The owner also received some extra shirts, hats, etc. that the factory had and usually didn't give away to people but decided to do so just to rid them. All of that stuff looks like it's in the trunk.

Something else I remember reading....the factory workers spray painted the rear axle as a way of helping it stay preserved longer.

Thanks for posting those pics, pretty cool. Always thought it was interesting how there was a debate on what was actually the LAST GN. The last one down the line which was the one you saw OR the one with the last VIN which was the one the GM employee won I have to go with this one.

When you went to his house, did you have to meet somewhere and then be blindfolded to protect the actual location of this GN??

Is there anyway that you can find out what number your gn was on the assembly line?

hereish the way i remember it, the only one i know on here who can verify for sure would probably be turbofish38.
around mid 87 they finished up the orders on all the olds and na regals, also finished up all orders on the turbo t's, using up as much gn trim parts as possible (which lead to the creation of the we4). to meet the huge grand national demand they kept the line going for several more months, all the way up till mid december building only grand nationals, nothing else.

somebody correct me if i'm wrong please

LOL! Surprisingly, no. Because that's probably what I would have done.

Where's the pics and story of the last T made? We've been forsaken.

If I knew where it was, I would gladly go take pics & tell its story.

Perhaps I can make up for it by posting up a thread about the 1 of 1 TNX? :biggrin:

That was pretty cool, thanks for sharing the pics, Was the room that the car is in originally a garage with the garage door removed and a wall put in its place?

Thanks for posting the pics. I lived in West Monroe out by Gene Cox's Grocery for 35 years before moving up here to TN. I too called Mr. Colvin and made the trip to Springhill to view the car. I went to the dealership where he took he to the lounge and popped in the video tape that he shot at the assembly plant during their trip there to watch it being made. He then let me follow him to his house to take pics of the car. I lost those pics in a computer crash and always wish I could take new ones but never made the trip back over. I remember just drouling over the car on the first trip and wish it was mine. This guy is a class act with a real neat collection of diecasts and auto memorbilia(sp?). I even took my Kirban book and let him sign it.

thanks again for the pics.
