The trouble is two fold. First, the value declines if you actually drive them. Cars are meant to be driven. Second, if you tried to drive them you'd find stuff not working.

Our neighbor was a Buick dealer and the GNX was a special car. They corrected the weakness of the Grand National but they were limited production and pricey.

I know someone with a very quick GN, aside from the sedate aftermarket wider rims and rubber it's stock appearance is what really is the best part of a 9 second ride.Last edited by FMP; 04-02-2019 at 11:38 PM.

Dutweiller built street driven 7 second GN's back in the day. Unheard of by those days standards, he was light years ahead of the rest of us
I had a T-Type. Fun car, wish I had it nowHydrostream dreamin

Might be the winner of the ugliest dash in a car ever. That is hideous. Outside not much better, hood looks ok. But it is a buick....

That's a sweet car too.
Out if all these great cars in this video the GN still stands tall with attitude.
