Is this the one that never sold?

One review of the GN I read said An engine in search of a car.

Buick Grand national experimental.... She was a mean one... After you upgraded the chip anyways.

That's carazy.

Mine always had a problem with two black streaks following me around

Strange......I had the same problem with mine! ? ?

My dream car
3Rsim
Was my first car. Bought in in 1996 in highschool. Everyone fucking loved that car, drive it until 2003 when it died. Paid $2000
3dartwork
I don't think people back then realized just how fast this car moved.
Gstealer
Drool. Kicking myself for not buying one
Direkt4
Me too. Although I was three when these were released.

These pictures are of a GNX that has only 202 miles on the odometer and is being auctioned; current bid is $150k.

One day my unobtainable friend...I will build a clone, and proceed to track the wheels off it.

Wife hates them... But this is on my list.

1/4 mile in less than 14 sec. nice!

I only have a GN, but it doesn't take much at all to get into the 11s without much work. My car will do a 12s 1/4 right now.
rockcanyon10
With a little tuning and better exhaust they ran 13s all day. Used to streetrace against them in my Roadrunner. Good old days, no cellphones

This was the one on Lenos show right? So cool.
dmil103
Yup. Probably the best example of one in the world.
Jayboots
I remember a review in the Car and Driver magazine (I think, totally going by memory), where they called the GNX a car Darth Vader would own

Fucking love the 80s man
sackedforgain
Reminds me of a Buick Regal I had from the late 80’s
Rvnhurst
I too had an 86 presidential. She was a beast.
shawnthor
My bro had a Regal we swapped a 455 olds rocket into. It was stupid but glorious.
clutchthepearls
The GNX is just the top trim of the Grand National which is just a high performance version of the Regal. That's why.
BklynPunisher
The GNX was a limited production vehicle.
DarkTheme439
You could get it in any color you wanted as long as you wanted black.
redline6
What about white?
Jayboots
Gorgeous car and very powerful, but they handled like shit. Most of them ended up wrapped around a tree.
BklynPunisher
Likely due to drivers that couldn’t handle them.
Iamtoofuckinghighforthisshit
I’m really into this body style now for some reason.
clutchthepearls
Chevy G bodies have a cult following for good reason.
HeWhoMustNotBeBlamed
Look at the wildly efficient packaging! You can get at least two people in that thing.
clutchthepearls
It's a 2+2 thank you very much!
BklynPunisher
3 in the back seat and two up front. You could even squeeze 3 up front if need be.
someusernamethatsfree
Im from Belgium, these cars never really got there, so I was utterly unaware of this car until recently. It's on my must own one day list 1/
BklynPunisher
Good luck finding one for a decent price.
someusernamethatsfree
2/2 alongside a Porsche 993 GT2 just like this one https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/1996_Porsche_911_993_GT2_-_Flic

It is very... rectangular
BklynPunisher
Everything was in the 80s
ActuallyMyNamesMarina
Thankfully, we have evolved over the past 40 years.
ActuallyMyNamesMarina
Also I see elements of the 2nd and 3rd gen camaro in the design, were buick and chevy already under the same parent company back then?
BklynPunisher
Buick,Chevy & Pontiac are all GM companies (General Motors.)
ActuallyMyNamesMarina
Yeah I know that's the case now, I was just curious how long it had been the case
