I would be suspicious of the tires

Remember Buick’s diesel cars?

Somebody knew what they had on their hands and had cash at the time.

BUT they didn’t at least buy car covers? Hope they were very carefully washed.

I used to own one. For the time it was a pretty awesome car.

A friend had one when they were brand new. He never drove it like it was meant to be driven. Rarely exceeded 55

Gypsies make big money falsifying stuff like that and then selling them for big profits.

Chances are most likely they are hoaxes made to look like the real thing.

I know where a near mint 1956 Ford 3/4 ton pickup is. It had less than 5000 mles the last time I saw it. It had been used as a fire truck for years then a welding truck.

Still had the original tires and to my surprise there wasn’t a bit of rot on them. If I remember, it had a 292 V-8. It was always inside a huge garage. It is still a working truck but gets very little use.

That is very cool. Granted the cars aren’t the most exotic, but it’s still a great find.

A lot of limited edition cars were being touted as collector cars to hype sales back then, from the supposed “last American convertible” El Dorado of the seventies, through special edition VW Beetles (Epilogue), on and on. Somebody bought two of them, and drove them very little.

I don’t believe those are the true GNX’s. There is no numbers on the dash. I think there was a little over 500 GNX’S made. All numbered on the dash. So these are just Grand Nationals.

547 GNX’s made.

“1987” and “muscle car” should never be used in the same sentence.

Do those hand grenades still have the pins installed?

2nd nicest Buick I ever had was a 1941 convertible with compound carburetion on a straight 8...

My grandfather gave it to me when I started high school. Traded it even-up for two 35 Ford flat-head water-injected v8's when I was a junior...(and had to learn to live with the smell of mechanical brakes...)
