Default Still love the Grand National

I still want a 1987 Buick Grand National. I love those cars so much. They are so great. I once got to drive a 11 sec Grand National for 3 hours. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Here is a pic for drooling.

It's doesn't. It's a 2WD Jimmy with Syclone/Typhoon or Sonoma GT body pieces.

I've got a sister to the GN, an 85 Monte Carlo SS. Of course it was never offered with the 3.8 Turbo.

Either it's a clone or they disconnected the AWD. Many guys do it to dyno the trucks or do the 1/4 mile thing.

MMm.. GN's are soooo nice. Too bad they're pretty expensive (from what I hear) due to low production numbers.

i use to get an autotrader ever week, and the prices floated around 14-20k. But the GNX's (only 547) are damn expensive.

I know the owner of GNX #25. He's also got a Trans Am GTA (#50 or 60) sitting in the garage next to it.

He used to run a TT Thunderbird, Mustang and Probe in NHRA Comp Eliminator. Now he runs a Mustang in ProStock.

Not much here, but there's a couple pics of the Probe and Mustang: http://www.blakeneyracing.com/

If you had a Grand National, would you do this in it?
