Buick’s Limited Edition (547 made) Muscle Car:  GNX

An Exceptional Example!

• Paint and Chrome

This GNX has the original Black factory paint that looks as perfect as it did when the car left the factory.  It of course has the GNX badging, the side engine vents and the flared wheel wells that were unique to this limited production series of cars.

• Interior

The seat upholstery is all original and looks as clean as when new.  The only change that has been made is the installation of a more modern radio, but the original comes with the car and can be reinstalled if total originality is desired.

• Engine

As the pictures show, the GNX’s have their own special Garrett turbochargers with lightweight ceramic impellers.  The engines were specially upgraded by ASC/McLaren to maximize performance, including a unique computer chip and low-restriction exhaust.  They achieved the goal of shaving a full second off the already blazing 0-60 times of the stock GN.

• Transmission/Rear Suspension

The transmissions were Turbo Hydramatic 200-4Rs modified for firmer shifts and coupled with custom torque converters and transmission coolers.

Equipped with special performance suspension, the GNXs had a rear axle longitudinal torque bar and a Panhard rod.

• Brakes

Quick to get up to speed, it was critical that the GNX have adequate stopping power.  Buick/ASC/McLaren answered that need with power brakes—disc in the front and drum in the rear.

• Comfort and Safety Systems

The unique feature of these cars is that they were as much at home for a trip to church with the family as they were on the track.  They featured:

• Air conditioning
• Power steering
• Power brakes
• Cruise control
• Tilt steering column
• Etc.

A Low-mileage Example of Buick’s Revolutionary—and Extremely Collectible--Muscle Car

Finding any example of the 547 GNXs is a difficult challenge, but finding one with only 7,500 miles is a rarity!  Add to that all of the original paperwork and the GNX apparel and you have a one-in-a-kind car!  Bear in mind that unlike modern “limited production muscle cars” there will never be any more than the handful produced by ASC/McLaren back in 1987.

The 1987 Buick GNX is the ultimate prize of the Regal Grand National field because ASC/McLaren gave it a big turbo power upgrade and a suspension worthy of a sports car. Now this ultra-low mileage numbers-matching, near perfect survivor can be yours if you're quick enough.


You already know the legend. General Motors was about to close the books on one of its best sleeper cars ever made, so they let it go out with a very limited production bang! You are looking at #73 of only 547 cars produced. The blacked-out trim, the bulging hood, and the simple ducktail spoiler, all give this car a look that demands respect. But the GNX went further with exclusive features such as the aggressive fender vents, wider fender flares, and badging. All of this presents particularly well because this has been treated like a classic since day one. It carries the factory code 19U black on its dentless body panels, and you can tell how the paint has been babied (the 15,892 original miles should tell you how little time this has spent out in the elements.) You can also tell the level of care this GNX has seen just by the way the panels fit and that the doors open and close just like they did when this one was picked up from the dealer. In fact, this one is so original, not only are the exclusive 16-inch black GNX wheels from McLaren still in pristine order, but also car's original tires are included with the sale.


The interior is just as factory original and well preserved as the exterior. The GNX packaging took everything that was great about the Grand National and improved it in the best places. So you get a loaded interior with comfortable two-tone cloth buckets, and the Grand National logo embroidered in the headrests. The gray in the seats coordinates with the color on the door panels, dash, and headliner. All of this shows so little wear, it can be a blueprint for anyone wanting to restore one of these legends. You get plenty of features like air conditioning, power seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control, power steering, and the original AM/FM/cassette stereo – all in perfect working order. From the driver's seat, you get the cool three-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel. But beyond that only the GNXs had the Regal instrument panel replaced with a proper Stewart Warner full round gauge package. And just in case you needed a reminder of how special this is, the dash plaque tells you it's #73 of a very limited build.


What really makes this one so special is what's under the hood. The 3.8-liter fuel-injected V6 turbo motor might sound like what was available in the Grand National, but the GNX was a very different beast (why the low mileage preserved ones go for so much). This numbers-matching powerplant was developed and built by ASC/McLaren. It started with a much larger Garrett AiResearch T-3 turbocharger connected to special intercooler just for the new setup. But the packaging goes much further than that. McLaren also re-mapped the computer to give the mixture, timing, and TH200-R4 four speed automatic the right characteristics to get the most out of the enhanced motor. This special packaging was more than just pure power. The GNX is far superior going down the road, with exclusive enhancements such as a longitudinal torque bar, tubular steel Panhard rod, and revised lower control arms. While we mentioned you get the original tires in the sale, this one is wearing modern BF Goodrich gForce performance rubber so you can drive it out of our showroom and attack the backroads immediately.


The GNX was a no compromise car that cost nearly double the price of a Grand National when new.

This GNX has only 27,000 original miles. It is number 444 of the 547 built and is a true American collector car from Buick in its original form. This car offers the opportunity to own a part of General Motors automotive history that is in investment-grade/collector condition. There hasn't been a car produced from General Motors like this since it was built in limited supply in 1987. The Buick GNX had the full green light from the bosses of Buick to level its stamp on the automotive industry forever. The result was taking an already potent and car-world-altering Grand National and moving it to a mountaintop level of performance, pushing horsepower to nearly 300; rocketing the car to 60 mph in only 4.7 seconds, faster than any other car available in the U.S. in 1987.  Automatic transmission. It is stock, original, non-modified and beautiful from top to bottom.

4319 Original Miles

Thank you for viewing this exceptional example of an original paint 1987 GNX. This car has been in a climate controlled garage since 1999. It is as nice an example as you will find in the country. Although it has 4300 miles, it shows as a brand new car. No paint or interior blemishes except one very professionally done brush touch on the Rt. rear flare (visible only to the professional eye). It has had three owners. All mechanical systems were flushed and/or changed in March of 2016. The hydraulic Master power brake unit was recently replaced with a Kirban performance unit, as well as new OEM style bumper fillers from G Body parts. This car has several COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE performance modifications professionally installed including a 3 inch exhaust, upgraded throttle body, fuel pump, Fuel pressure regulator, hot wire kit, and A/M Intercooler. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE WITH THE CAR!!! The tires are the correct original sizes, but have been replaced. The car comes with the GNX book, numbered shirt, jacket and hat, paperwork including window sticker, ASC sticker, and a binder with articles documenting the GNX history. This car is ready to show, drive, or place in a high end collection. It needs nothing. It has been professionally gone over stem to stern, and detailed. It starts and runs exceptionally. Super tight, quiet, and rattle free. This is an opportunity to own a blue chip collectible which will never decrease in value!! The car is available to view in Southwest PA.

SUMMARY

Over the past four decades General Motors has proven itself a modern day warrior. The company literally OWNED the '50s and '60s and no matter how much corporate bean counters tried to quell its spirit of performance true gearheads ALWAYS kept the flame lit. And I'm not talking about Corvettes or the incredible Cadillac V-Series. I'm talking about cars that are fast fun and highly attainable. In the early 21st century the guys at Pontiac worked with GM's Holden division to send world-class muscle to American shores. During the stuffy '70s the venerable Trans Am soldiered on with big displacement motors and flashy good looks. In the mid '90s Chevrolet's visionary Impala SS brought a new sense of cool to the full-size segment. And in the '80s it was this car: Buick's bad-to-the-bone GNX that proudly separated the winners from the losers. All black all business and so ruthless even your shut-in grandmother knows it means trouble this exclusive coupe backs 360 lb./ft. of turbocharged torque with sinister aesthetics and an ASC McLaren-tuned suspension!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Capitalizing on the success of winning NASCAR's 1981 and '82 Manufacturer's Cups Buick kicked off the Grand National legacy by introducing a specially tweaked version of their 1982 Regal. However it wasn't long until GM's conservative luxury crew assumed the full identity of renegade performance division by slathering black paint onto highly modified G-Bodies that featured unique and menacing aesthetics. And in 1987 the brand shunned all brightwork sourced some serious performance bolt-ons printed a batch of ''GNX'' emblems and announced the ''Grand National to end all Grand Nationals''. This GNX showcased by Indianapolis Indiana's Stitzer Buick for close to 10 years sports an original coat of GM code 19 Black that since 1996 has been lovingly pampered by just one owner. That pigment highlights crisp sheetmetal which centers straight surfaces between even gaps that show no signs of damage or repairs. And topped by dark-tint glass and monochromatic trim that metal's finish is every bit as glossy as it is deep.

ENGINE

Speaking of survivors and GM's core strengths if anyone ever creates an ultimate engine survivors list Buick's stalwart 231 cubic inch V6 will surely be at the top. Introduced as the Fireball and eventually renamed the 3800 its early '60s design was sold to Kaiser bought back by General Motors and with the help of turbos superchargers and continuous improvements would remain one of the company's core powerplants until the turn of the century! In addition to compounding tweaks accrued during the life of the Grand National series the original sixer behind this coupe's Vader-like grille benefits from significant mechanical improvements. For starters GM sourced a better version of the car's Garret turbo that featured a ceramic impeller and larger intercooler. A CERMATEL-coated connection pipe marries that re-engineered blower with its Jet Black foundation. And a specific EEPROM makes sure everything plays well together. Those carefully calculated upgrades were good for a newly impressive 276 horsepower and substantial 360 lb./ft. of V8-slaying of torque. And that power created numbers that not only bested GM's own Camaro and Corvette but also catapulted Buick to the forefront of '80s performance! Presently the car's low-mileage mill is 100% stock inside and out featuring fresh and pliable ancillaries that are ready for lots of warm weather and tons of rich boost. Everything from its ''BUICK'' branded hood mat to its correct 25526109 casting number is in top-flight condition. And one glance at our pictures reinforces the fact that this coupe probably hasn't seen anything more than carefully planned miles on sunny summer days.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

The car's hot engine spins torque through an original ''BRF'' tagged 4-speed that's a member of the ultra-reliable Turbo-Hydramatic family; an honorable and faithful group that's survived behind GM's toughest performance blocks for decades. That seasoned transmission twists a set of original gears which offer a great combination of starting line grip and high-speed cruising. And under that first-class drivetrain an ASC McLaren-tuned suspension provides world-class handling ability. Unrestrained Buick GNX's were probably legitimate 150 MPH hot rods. But the factory knew the limitations of the Regal's aerodynamics suspension and brakes and wisely chose to reign in the fun long before peak velocity. Speaking of brakes and the like power-assisted discs and drums provide solid stops. Quick-ratio power steering makes cornering easy and turning a cinch. At the corners original wheels spin original 245/50VR16 Goodyear Eagle VR50s in front of original 255/50VR16 Goodyear Eagle VR50s. And aesthetically the bottom of this Buick is exactly what you'd expect from an immaculately maintained low-mileage survivor.

INTERIOR

Inside this awesome street bruiser you'll find an original tri-tone interior that's virtually spotless. Typical Buick fashion dictates more comfort than sport but then that's what GM's entry luxury brand has always been about. And naturally that means this Grand National is loaded with all the features you'd expect including power windows power locks climate control cruise control and a tilt steering column. In front of that wheel pliable factory buckets appear to have been looked at more than they've been sat in. Opposite those seats factory-spec Stewart Warner gauges inhabit a blocky dash that's free of warps and cracks. Below that dash a factory console frames an elegant factory shifter. In front of the driver a satin-spoke steering wheel looks '80s glam. And behind the passengers a lined trunk seems big enough to abet weekend travel.
