Story I recall was Brad owned one of these at one time.
To buy a car and store it in a climate controlled room for all those years....WOW. I could never do that. To tempting.
WOW!!! :lookatthat:
:unbelievable: Wow! What a cool find! Mine was not a GNX though, just a base Regal made to look like a GN , I put 1970 GSX badges on it , thinking "IF GM had carried on the name , what would it look like....
Mine had a very healthy Buick 455 that I built, even machined up my own adjustable roller rocker set up, t10 4 speed and a 9" disc brake rear end. I built a cool looking "star wars" style air cleaner for it too. Motor had crazy power. I put 3 different clutches in it in a month, never could find one that I could rev the motor over 4000 rpm with before I was smelling clutch. Tire/rubber smells up to 4000, then clutch LOL. The roof started cracking all the way around at the factory seams. Needed a cage? It was a fun car though. I enjoyed building it. It was in the driveway one day , when some older guy stopped by and talked me out of it. It didn't have 1000 miles on it with the new drivetrain. I wasn't planning on selling it but he made an offer I couldn't refuse . I had bought the Challenger by then and was really in love with it as it was what I " REALLY" always wanted, so I used the funds to build the drivetrain in the Challenger. My Dad still says I shouldn't have sold it as he liked the look of it too. Last I heard car was out Ottawa way? Funny that was the only car I have sold that wasn't to the wrecking yard guy at 100 bucks a ton. Notice the shifter boot? :D
Those GN's really set some good 1/4 mile times. I remember an article in a car mag back then called "From Buick with Balls". lol
this comes to mind
It was always cool to see GN show up for the local grudge races back in the day.
