Funny you post about that I was in Spencer's and they were blowing some stuff out and I got one for 9.99 bucks at the blow out table. Just because it was a Buick (and a cheap one!) I had to have one for my collection of die cast Buicks! I'm not into the whole dub thing but for 9.99 and to have a Tony Montana car it's a pretty cool Buick to own! I took some pictures of mine here they are...

yea my older brother sent me one for christmas, he is stationed in the u.a.b, i just thought it was cool. wonder if the people over there think that is a typical american car ha ha. it is ugly but cool for the collection. i also got a lot of gn hot wheels in a bunch of different colors:smile:

Wow....that's pretty cool, I'll have to go to Spencer's to see if I can find one for my little TR collection.

Given that the movie was released in 1979, way before the GN came to be, it's just another shameless merchandising gimmick.

Ummm....pretty sure there was no GN in that movie.

Actually it was released in 1983.

crap..you're right..still weren't any Buick products prominently featured however...

The thing that sold me was it actually had a turbo engine in it! Usually when you see a car trying to be a turbo Buick it's got a V8 under the hood or something. I saw the turbo and stock air canister in the right places and I was sold!
