Just found this ’87 Buick GNX Clone in an auction. It is currently at $61k CAD Looks like it has lots of original GNX parts on it too.

61,000? I would let that one go.
Way too much for a clone
No thanks.
Not a chance for a clone. Too much.
That is an insane price.
If the car is a clone, it has zero “original” GNX parts.Ā
Donāt do it, itās a trick
Nah
Clone no way
Too much
My cousin (RIP) in 1984 ordered and bought new 1984 Turbo GN. I was working (mechanic) at the dealer that day when car was delivered. Cousin instructed everyone there “DO NOT DO DEALER PREP, I’ll handle it myself.” GN came off hauler, parked, checked the oil and all fluid levels. Drove it across the street to gas station, and put 5 gallons Premium in it. Drove it 43 miles home and parked it in soft dirt/dried manure/no smell (Old dairy farm “holding pen” before cows go in to milk barn) this “barn” was a ceiling with only 1 wall.
In 2004, visiting family, I got cousin to show me the GN. Had bird shit all over every flat surface. 20 years of bird shit. I asked “why haven’t you placed a cover over that all these years?” He said “A cover here in this barn will have the wind blow it back and forth a little bit. That cover, rubbing against that paint, will eventually rub the paint down to bare metal. I can buff out that bird shit.”
OK. Still no dealer prep done. ALL dealer plastic inside still there. ALL markings, firewall and such, still there. 43 ORIGINAL MILES.
A year before cousin died, 2019, I was talking to him on the phone and I said—Still got 43 miles? He said, No actually got her running, pulled gas tank/changed all hoses/fluids/tires/battery and such, it now has 650 miles.
650 miles, sold at estate sale, $82,000. Worth every damn penny, still had no dealer prep, all plastic was there same as rolling off the trailer.
It’s an old fuckin car
Hard pass on it
You’re gut was talking to you before this. You heard it and that’s why your post is titled the way it is. You already know
I was a teenager when thease first came out. They were all the rage at first, and then the word got out JUNk. Oil leaks, blown motors after 35thou miles and inconsistent performance. My 79 camaro with an rv cam was faster. I’d pass.
