Re: Didn't think any GNX's got driven.......
----I dont know about used. It appears more to be abused. We have all seen plenty of cars with 75,000 miles (and more) that are way better condition than this. My 94 beater Caprice wagon has 130,000 on it and still looks way better than this Buick.......Bill S

Re: Didn't think any GNX's got driven.......
I appreciate a car that's driven as they all shouldn't be trailer or garage queens, but that thing's been beat. Drive it, great, but don't beat the carp out of it, and at least wash it occasionally.
Great car, but I'd only consider a much better kept one for more money. Or, you could always find a nice '89 Turbo T/A with the GN motor. Those actually seem to go for reasonable money these days, considering their availability/rarity.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tommy</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What is pictured in picture #10? If it wasn't so expensive it would be a neat car to "repair" and make a clean daily driver out of. Maybe mini tub it or something. Didn't Jay Leno have one of these on his show a few years ago in a burnout contest against one of Tim Allens hotrods?
Tommy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/  [/img] </div></div>No. Jay used a red 8 second full GN (Not a GNX)race car owned by Ken Detweiller for that contest.

Re: Didn't think any GNX's got driven.......
I like it. It has some history, something most of these cars sorely lack. Years ago there was a guy named Buddy Cox that campaigned a real GNX in the old 5.0 vs. GN shootouts. I'd take that car, mini-tubs, missing engine, battle scars and all, any time over the no-mile jackstand ornaments that represent the norm for these cars.
