I don't think thats the point of buying a collector's car with 9 miles on it. The only person I could see wanting that is Buick for promotional stuff or a hardcore car collector like Jay Leno or something. I don't know if I trust that seller with only 5 pictures. If I was gonna drop that much dough on that, I'd wanna see it in person. Also, the engine comp. looks very dirty. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

Did you read the description:

ORIGNAL DEALER WITH FACTORY CERTIFICATE OF ORGIN.NEVER LEFT DEALERSHIP. HAS BEEN IN SECURE STORAGE FOR 19 YEARS. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10 MILES ON ODOMETER

so who cares? I mean if i had a 79 pinto with 9 miles that i kept in storage since it was new i wouldnt think it would be worth 100G's... I mean sure its a sweet car..but i bet you could find one that looks just like it and restore it for a lot less..whats so special about these?

this isnt a pinto...its a 87 GNX. there were only 591 made in 87. that right there makes it a hot commodity but when u add the fact that it has NEVER left the dealership, thats just nuts. original sticker price on these were 29,290 dollars IIRC. i can tell u right now, if i had 100k laying around, i wouldnt think twice about buying it...but then agn im a buick AND GM g body guy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

what differentiates the gnx from the non gnx?

 

[Ignatowski 5,000+ posts]

as a Gbody owner and enthusiast I can

say this,GN's are sought after and have a large following

for what reason I have no idea,they are not great cars but are somewhat

quick in the quarter mile for a turbo 6,prolly the only decent turbo car a domestic automaker has ever made - Domestic aito makers still cant make a turbo car IMO.

However some Neapolitan hot rod collector will jump on that car for the sake of saying

"I have a Never driven GN" the only one like it in exsisance

IF that actually is whats is advertised,which I dont believe

It's popular for the same reason old vettes and camaro's are popular. It's old school american muscle. The GN was a kind of resurgance of american muscle and was lightning fast in it's day.

i didnt realize those cars were so sought after...and stilll dont understand why.

What the hell does the GNX mean tho? Compared to the non X?

Its very rare therefore its sought after. Its like having a first pressing copy of a Beatles vinyl record or something of that nature. Its not necessarily the actual car but the rarity of it that makes it valuable. I myself would love one of those.

As far as what makes it different from a regular 1987 Buick Regal, I'm not a car guy so my best guess is besides the cosmetics I would say its SUPED THE FUCK UP !!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I've heard stories about those cars burying the speedometer that reads 160.

I would like to have one, but wouldn't pay a quarter of that price tho. Granted it's a collectors car. If I had it, I would drive it, and drive it hard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I'd wager if Marley sees this thread he'll be able to tell us what the difference between the GNX and the ones not labeled as such as well as have an educated opinion about this car's real worth.

If it's legit - which, like others, after looking at the listing I have serious hesitations about that...

I mean - if you're trying to get 100 large for something don't ya think you could manage to spell 'owner's manual' correctly? Have an item description more than half a paragraph long?

If it's the real deal, though, it likely would be worth the asking price if for no other reason than pure collectibility.

Anyone watch any of the Barrett-Jackson auto auctions? I see some of the less common old-school domestic [true] musclecars frequently going for over a 1/4 million dollars for cars that are 100% correct.

I forget all the differences between the two. Main things I remember are it has more power, bigger tires out back with larger fender flares for them, and I'm pretty sure handling upgrades. I think that car is hella nice too.
