In today's video, the team at Legendary Motorcar purchase a completely original Barn find Buick GNX at Barrett Jackson for a customer and clean and polish it to it's original show room condition. For more muscle car goodness, check out our recent Shelby GT350 Carryover video: • Fully Restored 1966 Sh...
A customer wanted this 282 original mile GNX that was for sale at Barrett Jackson. The team went down, completed the auction purchase. Then the process began. The car was cleaned and polished, the interior and engine bay were detailed after the car recieved a dry ice cleaning. The filler panels were replaced and painted, and the car was cleaned up to as it would have sat on the showroom floor.

Awesome video! I inherited my dad’s GNX he bought new, has 180 miles. It’s been strictly stored in climate controlled environment, but I recently had it dry iced and it turned out great. I love when people make fun of the orange peel in the paint, makes me laugh.

It’s kind of a shame that this car was never enjoyed on the road. But it is great to look back in time. I graduated college in 1986. I wanted one of these, but the price was out of my range. I “settled” for a gorgeous red Trans Am. That was a great car.

To bad about the saggy headliner..they don't make that color any more. You can easily tell by looking at it that it has more than 282 miles on it...I'm sure it is a low mile car but it ain't no 282 mile car that's for sure. It looks great though. You guy's did a awesome job on it.

After almost 40 years of sitting. Pretty much every seal has to be hard as a rock. And I’d hate to think about the clutches inside the transmission. They won’t last long if the car is driven

That car probably has the original break in oil in it as well as the original oil filter from the factory. Does the AC still work? It could wind up being a case of, " if you don't use it, you lose it", so common on Canadian cars cuz when do we use it?! The refrigeration oil sits in the bottom of the evaporator and the condenser and acidifies and eats them from the inside out. If it's used it gets circulated all the time and it doesn't sit in one place forever.

What number out of 547 was this car? What was the sticker on the gauge cluster at 2:17? So many of these have super low miles. This one was slowly dying by just sitting unprotected. Glad you were able to get it looking like day one. I hope the new owner drives it once in a while.

When my hood shocks went I replaced them with shocks from Napa. They were the exact thing GM sold but Napa was 1/2 the price for my 87 Grand Nat’l. BTW that paint is thin on these cars. It’s easy to hit the primer. Beware. The paint was the worst in the GN plant of all plants. My paint would get dull grey looking after a few washes after being waxed. Without having a clear coat on these cars the paint sucked. It was the last yr for lacquer and my hood had spider web cracking and was also starting in the front fenders. If you were the original owner GM would repaint the car at no cost. Look that one up. I spoke with the head GM Paint Rep and they wouldn’t do my car because I was the 2nd owner with only 8,000 km. But I did pay the $100 to transfer the 6 yr warranty back in 1990. Note! These cars did not have a clear coat from the factory. If it was cleared then GM did not do it.

Next, replace the power antenna mast. If you can get the part, they're not too hard to do. I started out my career as a GM Auto Tech at a well-known Buick Dealership in 1986. I was blessed to see two of these GNX's pass through our sales and service department in 1987. Most dealers were lucky if they had one to sell. If you had taken a clear shot of the rear differential cover, I could tell you for sure if it was an original piece. What serial number was this car (per the dash plaque)?

I'd drive the damn thing...not as a daily or anything crazy like that...but I'd definitely put some miles on it... I drive my Saleen about 1,200 sunny miles a year and it's frickin fun, and it hasn't hurt the value not one little bit. I wouldn't drive a GNX quite that much but I'd definitely put around 500 miles on it annually.
