they will never bring the GNX back

they sold for $30,000+ brand new in '87

imagine what one would cost today... [:'(]
Actually they were seriously thinking about making the GNX again in 07 or 08. They had a concept already made and everything. It came with a turbo'd v6 pushin over 400hp.
And I wasnt believing the whole $30,000+ for a car back in 87, so I looked up the base MSRP for an 87 GNX, and it was $17,713.

This is exactly what is was. A Buick Regal 3800 S/C. This is a 2001 in the photo but I dont know what year his was, and his was white. But anyway. I still need to do some modding soon and stop spending my money on my other hobbies like hot wheels and arcades and sports memorabilia. But in good news I just got a 93 Virtua Fighter for only $305 so
that's embarassing i was hoping you were talking about a gn/gnx or t type...

+1 LOL
If I had any ***** I would have bought a Grand National after I graduated highschool like I said I would. Oh well. I have a Cobra now.

Nice race PipsBlackStang. I always enjoy a race that has a surprise. Like the 12 sec. Mirage I raced. You never know what you will come up against.

I never heard of a newer style forced inducted Buick. I love the grand national and wouldnt have even tried to mess with one if I saw it.

Those new Buicks move out to be a family car. A lady gave me a good run in my old LT1 car. Thank God I had Flowmasters, I probably would have lost...then ended my life. [8D]

When they're stock, they're not too formidable compared to many of today's performance cars. I raced my dad's GN at the track with my near-stock Camaro and whooped him good, though his car had some kind of miss or something. When they get properly modded, however, look out!
