Vehicle Description

9,280-mile Buick GNX 3.8L Turbo Charged V6 Automatic.  This is your chance!  Listed well below the $200K+ price point for GNX's in this condition!  This car is fully drivable and underpriced.  Buy it to drive it or buy it to flip it at the higher price point, either way you'll have fun.  This is number 209 of 547.

It sits on it's original wheels and tires and comes with an extra set of original tires and wheels (~$5K value) in case you want to add new rubber for fun driving and then switch back to originals for show.  Comes with the Molly jacket (and the box it came in, ~$2K value), the GNX book, and other books and documents.

If you're looking at this car you know the story, but...The pinnacle in the GM Buick lineup came in 1987 with a limited-edition, specially prepared, Grand National Experimental or GNX-the ultimate development in American muscle at that time.  A total of just 547 cars were built by Buick with a Grand National interior and then sent to American Specialty Cars (ASC) McLaren Performance Technologies for the GNX transformation. Improvements included a Garrett T3 turbocharger with ceramic impeller and GNX heat shield, larger capacity intercooler, reprogrammed engine management and performance suspension with torque bar and GNX-only rear differential cover.  The 3.8L V6 engine in the GNX was conservatively rated for 300 horsepower at 4,400 RPM and 360 lb.-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM and backed by a specially prepared Turbo-HydraMatic 2004R transmission.  The GNX will launch from 0-60 MPH in under five seconds and run a low 13-second-quarter mile.  The sinister exterior featured vented fenders, a distinct lack of hood and fender emblems, and 16-inch aluminum mesh wheels with black-out face and GNX center caps. Special composite fender flares were fitted to the wheel wells to make room for the beefy wheels and tires, as well as making the car more recognizable.
