GM is not even paying attention. Image a well designed, amazing family sedan from 87 bring in $250k, yet GM doesnt even try to do anything like that today. Bring back the Buick team of the late 60's-80's GM!

I had one. Worked at an ad agency on Buick and bought the only one in texas at dealer cost. Dealership was mad as hell. Fastest car I ever owned. Wish I still had it.

Some people are so rich these days that $250,000 might be one weeks pay check. They can justify spending what normal people call insane amount. Crazy world we live in.

Was curious $29,000 in ‘87 is approximately $69,000 today. That’s insane. What a gem this GNX is!

This is such an engineering marvel. It's beautiful to look at yet sinister on the streets. Magical times gone by....

Almost all of those miles are from going across the auction block over and over again….

My uncle had a regular Grand National. My dad use to race him in his 91 GT Mustang. Both stock. My dad would always get him off the line but my uncle would catch up and pass him once his GN got in to boost. Loved that car.

Man the temptation to drive it when they bought back in 87 must of been crazy... I would've failed

In '96 I was working for a beer distributor here in Atlanta. The owner's daily driver was a GNX. While I was there he sent a couple of the mechanics to SC and picked up a very low mileage one for his collection. Great to see Steve Magnate giving some of the details of the car while on the blocks.

The corvette killer lives on! This is the ultimate drag car of the 1980s.

I would absolutely buy that beauty in a heartbeat! Doesn’t matter what the price. IMO that beauty is a priceless antique work of art. I would preserve it’s beauty too.

Best looking G-Body ever made...

Car is only worth what somebody willing to pay for it. I love when people say well , kelly blue book says it's worth 8,000.00 . Kelly ain't buying it, you are. What's it worth to you?

I had a 87 IROZ with the 350 Corvette engine and never could outrun a Grand National, they were fast.

Guess that’s why they call it a dream car…I can only dream that was me they were hammering for. Beautiful Buick. Drive it in good health my friend.

I use to get picked up in one of these from middle school and still one of the funniest cars I've ever been in. It was the fastest production car on the planet in 87 . That's a hell of an accomplishment, especially for buick.

Graduated HS in 87 and didn't have one GN in the parking lot. TONS of IROCS, Cutlass and Monte SS, a few 5.0 gts, oddly a bunch of 79 TAs and the gearheads with the "old" cars. Looking back....

Incredible. I’ve haven’t seen a real GNX. Drove a Grand National once.. amazing performance for a G Body!

80's baby's rejoice!

What a beautiful machine! Damn that looks amazing

My brother and I had the original GNX number 547 at our dealership in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Jerry Mcdonogh

i can barely watch this video i love this car that much..it's completely untouchable.

That's right 87 the year I moved from Tampa Florida to Merced California, the southwest connection, and yes a Grand National! Need this one for sure!

I remember watching BJ a few yrs ago. Anyway it went for $100,000.... That's when I knew the GNX Model in future Would go up big time.....

One of my all time faves

Those cars were so damn fast.

Crazy,crazy,crazy $250k,s few years ago you could buy a clean one of these for $50k-60k all day long,maybe not a zero mile one but a very nice one.

Out of all muscle cars , this is one that should've hit millions , it's literally the unicorn of muscle cars

Great car. One of the best cars to come out of the 80’s and probably the best Buick ever made. However it has no business being that expensive

Gorgeous, just... Gorgeous 💖.

My brothers friends dad passed away in an accident. And left his son one of these. It just sitting in his garage. Damn near mint condition. I've seen him drive it maybe 4-5 times in like 5 years I knew him. Said he was never selling it.

$275K for a Buick? Sure, why not.

"THAT BELONGS! IN A MUSEEUMM!!!!"

Not a real Buick fan. But this one is pretty slick looking. Wished we could hear this start up.

I wonder what my neighbours is worth. He still has a the window sticker on it.

I had a '87 GN lightly modified. Bought it for $7000 firm, put $5000 into it then some jackass plowed into me and totaled it. The insurance company gave me $12000 and I sold it for $5000 as is. That car was a bullet, even my 85+ old mom loved to drive it.

I got locked inside one of these in the showroom when I was 5 years old. My dad was actually there to buy his GN and they had a GNX in the show room. I remember I crawled in it and looked around and suddenly the doors locked from the inside and the horn started blaring. The sales people forgot to disable it and then they had misplaced the keys. 😂 Anyway don’t let them fool you on the GNX they are bad ass cars but most of what the ASC package brings to the table over the regular 86/87 GN is in the suspension, planting the power better and preventing the torque from pulling the back of the car one direction over the other so it’ll go in a straight line. Other than that if you were the average Joe and knew enough to know what these cars actually were at the time, other than the exclusivity of owning a GNX, you were still in the mid 13 second club back then out of the show room and a chip away from running a high 12 with a set of decent tires. Pretty big deal back then.

When they talk about the next generation of classic cars that will bring insane money like the yenkos and the Shelby mustangs or the super birds this is it and it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves. I think it would be cool to see the grand national come back as an ev and dominate the competition just like it did when it became the first muscle car to have a turbo v6

I seen only two gnx in person. The last one I saw was 15-20 years at a mom and pop's dealership. At the time they were asking $80k. Only 1200 miles. That's a bargain today lol.

These cars are just stupid fast. I drove an ‘86 T-type with a 3.8l turbocharged and it was hard not to keep my foot into it. Fun to drive.

I remember when these came out and at that time there wasn't a lot of hype about them. People just didn't realize how good of a car it really was. I think it had to do with the fact it didn't have a V8 in it. $250k is insane!

So beautiful.

What a beautiful unique car

Everyone wants a slice of the past in whatever guise look at our present and future class car good luck to the new owner 👍

Bud of mine in high school in the late 80’s to early 90’s had a Grand National.

Love this car man

Now everybody with a rust bucket grand national thinks they’re holding onto gold. 😂😂😂

The new generation of collectors cars

I wish Barrett Jackson and Mecum were on Roku! Can't find them anywhere!

I love this car and always have. If I had crazy money to blow I’d buy this one for sure. But my dream was to buy a regular grand national and strip it out and put a custom new interior in it and racing seats.. such a beautiful car

My favorite old school

It looks so Regal!

I had an 87 Cutlass Supreme all black shaved door handles with an 86 GN engine in it, with the GN interior, rims, and drive train with like only 36k miles on it! I bought it for 3k back in 2001...man that thing was so fast and so cool lookin, and it was definitely a sleeper, but because it wasn't original things kept braking and nickel and dimming me and I just didn't have the $$$ to fix it..i was just a teenager at the time! I think I sold it the same day I paid it off... Definitely wish I didn't!!

SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BUICK!!!

Insane numbers for a car that will never see the sun or the road.

My favorite car ever

My favorite car of all time. But I've never had the money to buy one. A friend of mines could have bought one in 2002 with 1600 miles for $29,000. But decided to buy a Supra instead.

I remember when these babies came out and in '87 I bought a T-Type instead. If I knew how rare they would be wish I spent a little more on a GN or on the GNX when it was available at the time. My bad.

"It's fast." "We need faster." "Get McLaren on the phone."

AKA the Corvette Eater Worth Every Penny

I liked my 85 GT with t-tops that ran in the 12's and would bury the 155 mile an hour speedometer, it wasn't stock but man was it fast and fun to drive....driving these cars is the fun part, 250K to garage it and never drive it is a little insane or you just like wasting money

Jay Leno had one on his website program, if you want to know more about this car. Not sure if it was the same car, but it was one the dealer never sold

Holy shit! 1/4 million for a GNX?

That's my dream car. Some day some day

To think you could by a nice used one in the 90's for about 35k!!!

I always wondered with such low mileage, what is the condition of the gaskets, internal hoses and any moving components?

8.7 miles.... what a shame, can't even drive it.

Sickest car ever made

GNX crazy powerful 8.7 miles on the speedometer rarebreed ❤

simply the best!

I have never cared for the interior , I feel its too plain for such an awesome machine

I cloned my 1987 Buick Grand National into a GNX & boy did I accomplish EVERYONE LOVED IT & It looked exactly like this..... NICE

What A Mint example of how a little push rodded boosted V-6 made the entire car community shamed itself, when the GNX was christened the fastest car of 87 made in America and most of the European market as well. SMFH! Sad day in history for everything else when grandmas grocery getter blows your twin turbo porch away or your newer corvette. The car was the first car I've ever lost a street race to growing up, no wonder why? It was the perfect sleeper and when you said it was only a 3.8V6 a whole 229 cubic inches VS a 406 Chevy small block with roller cam and aluminum Cantfield head's in a 86 Old's Cutlass 442 the match was on. I had almost double the cubes and about the same weight overall with the aluminum top ended V8 opposed to the V6. I thought there's no way I could lose? LMFAO! Yes what a dumb thing to think?! I was thinking to myself I have this from Start to Finish until I heard him power braking the engine and the 2 step system he had plus the stall converter. I had no clue what I was in for? He was on 9" street slicks and I was on 11 in radials aired down a little BF Goodrich TAs at the time. Let's just say when that light turned green we launched, and immediately I knew it was over! Cuz all I saw was those Buick regal taillights just a head of me where I could almost reach out my drivers window to touch the damn thing's. I trailed that car all the way to the next light a 1/4 mile away but with a bit of a traction issue there was just no way of catching up, let alone pulling ahead..... I learned something that night, don't mess around with Buick Grand National's especially when the drivers are a little bit cocky! I know I had the numbers on the track to beat a stock GNX, but ones that have been heavily modified??? I found out afterwards I was up against a high 9 second car which blew my mind. He had all kinds of internal work done to the little 3.8 from heads to cam and pistons to the GNX Turbo being replaced by an even bigger Garrett to a custom single 3+ inch exhaust, the trans was done, and a 2800 stall converter he said along with a ton of computer mapping. She left a trial of black smoke so she was a little on the richer side and still it was fast as hell! A bigger intercooler also I recall as well as injectors. So yeah a mid 10 second G body is still no answer for a nicely built Buick Grand National! That night we found out that there is a replacement for displacement! It's called a Turbo Charger. I guess when you can ram in more than double it's displacement in volumetric pressure that's your replacement for displacement, keeping it together is the next biggest problem, but it is clearly apparent Buick bottom ends could handle it!

I owned 3 GNs and 2 T-types looking to get back into my sixth one right now.

I remember always using this car when I was playing the original Forza on XBOX

i have always thought they were way over rated but holy crap this is insane mind you i am a true muscle car guy having had 1969 roadrunner 1970 boss 302 and a 70.5 split bumper z28 damn i wish i had kept all of them whats the cousin of this worth then the typhoon

The ol'e girl is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰😍😍😛😛. I had my driver's license for a year when these gorgeous machines rolled off the assembly line and I wanted one sooooo bad but at the time the part time job I had wasn't going to cut it. So in the immortal words of mick jagger "you don't always get what you want", maybe one day I'll have one in the garage. 👊👊🤙🤙👍👍✌✌

Awesome

It's time...drive the beast! Let her run!!! It was built to hit the road!

Boa noite congrats carro 1971 GMC stepside short truck vai amém bom trabalho c-10 era

amazing

Should they be driving the car onto the auction floor? Maybe push it instead so the car doesn't have to be started? Or is that to prove that the car is functional?

Wooow 250k!!! Damn... its a nice car

$250,000 on a car you'll never drive ??? Must be nice to have that kind of spare change

So basically gm could tool up and throw in air bags and sell a remake for 45k ez.

While people’s taste for most classic cars seems to be more or less the same across the globe, the GNX is a model that is absolutely slept on in Europe. 🇪🇺 Despite its appearance in the F&F franchise most people wouldn’t even recognize it, let alone pay 6-digit numbers for it. It’s never been sold here when new, but the same goes for most other muscle cars that are highly sought after nowadays. Maybe that edgy notchback plays a role which is regarded a somewhat weird design cue here in the Old World. 🤔

I loved driving this car in Forza horizon 3

A buddy had one 500 plus hp super fun.

My dream cars, GN, Bandit T/A

What I never understood is why they never put that HURST Lightning Rods In the GN like they did the Hurst Olds, it’s that same body style if I remember

I can't believe that a GNX found and bought in the 90s at a gov. Get cash for your car to crush it. I still cannot believe a person went to crush his or hers GNX...

Oh man, great cars! What engine did the Anniversary Trans Am have? The GNX one or the “standard “ GN one?

I am sure that this is the GNX from Jay Leno's show. It has about 20 miles on the odometer.

It’s all relative people , some make 50 K a year , some make 100 K a day. Person wanted it and paid for it , great for some of us who collect cars , it’s a thing of passion , but good to protect our investments..

Funny how I've been looking for a gnx and can't find one I guess I need to to the auctions

"triple black" is a term from the 70s ... it means ... 1) black paint ... 2) black interior ... 3) A BLACK VINYL TOP !!

Really hope the new owner drives it and enjoys it. What's the point of hiding cars you love in a garage. Especially considering combustion engine cars will be banned in 20 years or less.

My grandmother in law boyfriend was an old Oil Wildcat. While visiting once he ask would I go to his house and drive his Buick because he getting too old and couldn't handle it. We got there and it was a black Buick GNX. I drove the hell out of that car with him in passenger seat grinning ear to ear. I said the law was going to get us. He said don't worry I got ya covered. The fuel? He was an oil man.....high octane!

2:30 the Grand National had 2 mufflers also.

That was the one year that the Chevy Corvette lost out as fastest production car at GM. Buick faked them out.
