We have to thank our pal Chris Chenlo for the tip on this amazingly awesome 1987 Buick GNX. You are looking at a car that has a grand total of 18 miles on it since new and it basically sits as it did when it rolled off the production line in ’87. The car is an amazing time capsule with all of the factory installed interior protection, the steering wheel is still wrapped, and well the whole package looks like it was just frozen in time.
Will the car ever get driven? That’s an interesting question. We’re guessing that the answer is no because at this point, the thing is basically an investment, right? That’s kind of sad to us. The $139,500 asking price is stunning and who knows, someone may fork it over. It seems like this would be the Ferrari 250 GTO of G-bodies if someone actually paid asking price for the car, right?

18 miles… and it probably needs the headliner and bumper fillers replaced like all 80’s G-bodies eventually do.
I need to make more money.. Like today! Man i love these cars
Great!
I’ll send you my address and after 6 weeks or so I’ll be showing it off at my local cruise. Can I say I’m stunned by your generosity and would never have dreamed of owning one of my all-time favourite American cars…
That is sad. The guy who bought this needs to leave cars to car guys and go buy paintings if he just wants something to look at. If it can’t be driven it’s worthless.
Most of these were auctioned and trailed off the dealer lots, they went for around $45K on open MSO. About two years later, they could be purchased for around $30 to $32k, un-driven. I would bet money that there are over 100 with the same or fewer miles as all the original owners of these cars knew they were collector cars and put them on jack stands. They are out there, but the owners know the values of these things.
I’m sure at leadt 1/2 of them sold are sitting in garages collecting dust. With these cars going for stupid prices, they will start flooding the market.
There is one on the showroom floor at Boulevard Buick in Long Beach, CA with less then 200 miles on it. It was featured on Jay Leno’s show and is for sale for over $200K
i almost bought one new but when i found out how much the dealer in Tacoma was marking it up over the ~$30K MSRP i said screw it and bought a regular GN for just over $15K in cash(from an insurance settlement). then i had a different turbo put on along with some other mods the East Coast GN supertuner(forgot their name) recommended and that all cost about $7k. what i ended up with was faster than the mid-to-low 13 second times the magazines were quoting for the GNX AND for less than half of what the dealer was asking for the GNX. most of the time i was running low-to-mid 12’s except once when i turned up the boost and added some race gas and ripped off an 11.8 IIRC. was told to put in at least a rollbar and a cage if i planned on going faster,i declined and didn’t go back to that strip. i kept it until around 2004-05 and sold it with justover 40k miles for $23,000 — so i think i made a better investment than buying a GNX. I had almost 20 years of fun with it, sold it for about what i had spent on it- maybe a little less – so i think i came out ahead. if i had bought a GNX and parked it like a lot of guys did, i woundn’t have had any fun. how much fun is it to put the car on dollies and push it on-and-off a trailer, so it doesn’t roll up any miles, and take it to shows where no one is allowed to touch it? if i had driven it and put 40k miles on it, it would have been worth less than what i paid for it. so i went for fun instead of investment, and i think i made the right choice. for what i thought would be an investment i made the purhase of a low mileage ’71 HemiCuda in 1982. i paid $3700 for a car with 19000 miles and i drove it a few hundred miles a year and had a lot of fun with it. i sold it in 2005, still un-restored with just under 30k miles, for just under $80k. so that was my investment instead of a GNX. then the market for Hemi cars dropped off in ’07, so i thought i made the right choice but the guy i sold it to sold it last year for over a $100k– oh well. …
