I thought these were pretty hot in the 80's. This one though is immaculate. Very low miles to be 22 years old. Check out the engine. All original.

why did i think those were 6 cyl?

They didn't sell for that much new... at least I don't think so.
Either way what a waste. That car was meant to be driven.
If I wanted one I would get the one that's $12,000 or less with a few chips on the paint. It's the same car! I don't care if it's 1 of 30 with two arrows on the drivers seat, it's still the same car to me. A GN is a GN.
The car is an 8 clyinder, the seller made an error because I'm sure he sells V8 cars all the time. There must be more to the story as to why it was nearly 50 grand or why it was in the newspaper when it was purchased. Like I said, I don't care if it's the last one they ever made or why else it could go for that much... waste... low miles = waste of a car in it's prime. Drive anywhere today, be ready for gaskets, hoses and rebuilds in an hour.
The pervious owner fails, he didn't drive it.

"Bye Bye, Johnny B. Goode."
It not the normal Grand National. It is the GNX. The final salute, the final end all of end all Grand Nationals in 1987. The last year of the drive train/platform. It is 1 of 547 made. They were not the same as the GN. The GNX was faster, had bigger rims, a different rear axle, more bracing behind the rear seats so it would handle better and the list gos on.

They are 6 cyls, 3.8l turbo 6s with GOBS of freakin' torque compared to their horsepower. GM brute-forced it with that car, I was told they used a truck radiator for it stock. And yeh, even compared to the Monte Carlo SS of the same generation they are pretty freakin' fast.
Unbelievable car! I bet it goes over 100K!

Weren't they only 205 hp? I would like to have one, but have to agree with Dom on this one, it's only a Buick and not worth that coin.

A GNX is a much more special car than the regular Grand National. If I remember right they were kinda handmade at McLaren?
2005 Dodge 1500 Hemi Quadcab
2020 Chevrolet Tahoe LS
The GNX when new sold somewhere around 30 to 35 thousand dollars. It is a higher horsepower limited edition version of the standard grand national. It has different tires, wheels, fender flares & a unique gauge cluster in the dash among other things. A standard 1987 grand national had somewhere around 245 horsepower & the GNX was near 300 if I remember correctly. When they were new they were selling for WAY over sticker price.

Dom, read up on the Buick GNX
I'm glad that there are still some low mile cars out there...do you want every rare car to be beaten to death with 100,000+ miles?
BTW: Those GNXs are bad cars...and they pulled like a freight train with all that midrange torque!

There's one that's shown up on ebay several times in the last few years. Most recently it's been here in Houston. They were asking over $100K for it, and if I remember right, it had less than 10 miles on it.

The GNX WAS special and it had gobs of power for back then. The Monte SS wasn't anything special at all in the engine department. I remember driving a fairly new one and it wasn't any sort of rocket ship. However, like the Marauder, it could be upgraded till the cows came home and not mind one bit. Not so, the GNX. You could always add more boost, but I think you'd start pushing the limits of the engine and performance parts were hard to come by.
I really love these cars on the outside, but that friggin Chevy dash right out of 1970 just has to go. God they made the worst interiors!
