@@dmc5291 I'd argue the average person probably wouldn't (or shouldn't) be buying collector cars in the first place.

Syclone and Typhoon used a different engine. 4.3L Chevy V-6 not the Buick V-6. The Anniversary TA used the last of the GNx power plants for that car in 1989.

[@jamesh4839]

Richiec77 the syclone was developed with the 3.8

[@-thebatman-]

James H but never mass produced with it the grand national was developed with an n/a v6 that made like 135 hp and was a 3.4 L I believe so could you say that it has a 3.4 n/a just because it was developed with it?

[@cali2468]

Yep the 'ol LB4 turbo Vortec V6.

[@houseofno]

@@-thebatman- the 3.4 was more closely related to the 2.8/3.1 motors. The 3.4 is generally considered to be a garbage engine qualitywise. The 3.8 was a far better engine. No relation to the 3.8 which is widely considered to be one of GM's best engines. The fwd versions were used into the early 2000s.

[@greghaa]

@@houseofno A number of other GM cars used the 4.1 liter block which was almost identical to the '109's (3.8) but with a larger bore. Same heads and cranks if I am not mistaken. Many of the GN enthusiasts of later years used the 4.1 liter for the greater displacement with interchangeable parts to the 109 block. There were also stage I and II motors for the GN with the casting numbers '016 and '017 in 4.1 liter as well as 3.8 liter casting number '012. The guy was right. There was someone at Buick who really wanted to stay in touch with the racing community.

It was a dream of mine to own an '87 GN some day. That time finally came around in the mid 90's when I was actually able to afford two GNs. I had one fully restored which ran low 11's in the 1/4. The other was kept bone stock as a daily driver. I kept them for about four years until I ran in to some money problems and I had to sell them both. I swear, I think I loved them cars more than my ex-wife at the time. lol Not a day doesn't go by that I don't think about my GNs. Can't say that about my ex-wife. lol

Car was not that fast

[@Brian-cr6rb]

I remember when I was a kid, my father, who owned a Buick dealership, brought one of these home. Let's just say it was a ride I'll never forget, and he got in trouble with the local police! This car is gold!

[@ImpactedWizDom]

I was the proud owner of the very first Grand National (ordered it from my local Buick dealer 6-8 months prior immediately after I read an article about it in Motor Trend) sold in the greater Ft. Lauderdale area where I resided at the time in 1986. That car war simply, magnificent. It was the perfect blend of comfort, luxury, performance and sportiness in one beautiful package. Also, the sound system was fantastic! Mine had the optional Delco GM Bose Concert Sound ll system with cassette player. It was by far the best sounding system I’d ever heard, factory or otherwise. Quiet, smooth idle, smooth ride and it got really great gas mileage too! Until that is, you decided to nail it....literally all hell broke loose! The first time I did it, it burned the tires hard as soon as it hit second gear causing a full sideways slide all the way through a long corner I had entered....really wasn’t expecting that but man, was I a happy boy! I’d had several super fast cars by the time I purchased this one including my 10 second 70 Nova SS which I owned at the same time, that was my weekend warrior, but I’d never owned a car that was an all around mesh of near perfection for a daily driver.. I would like to make a couple of points regarding the content in the video. The owner of the car stated that when the cars were sent to ASC Mclaren to become GNX’s, they “installed” an intercooler...that’s incorrect as the regular GN’s were already intercooled, (fun fact: Buick offered the Regal in T-Type trim with a turbocharged V6 from 1978-1985. The birth of the monster wasn’t until the introduction of the GN in 1986 with the addition of a large intercooler. That enhancement is what was largely responsible for the enormous performance gain from one to the other) ASC installed an intercooler with a larger cooling capacity is what they did, as well as other mods like larger turbo, special racing style gauges and a pan hard bar in the rear suspension. Additionally both Jay and the other fellow were referencing the Corvette as the main competition for the GN at the time but in reality, the 5.0 Mustangs were the hot ticket during those days ‘85-87. Let there be no question as I can tell you from experience, the GN and the GNX which came along soon after, were in fact the fastest production cars of their kind on the street in those days. I literally ate 5.0 Mustangs and Corvettes alike all day long in street races....no contest at all. And that best part was all that from a little V6! Used to freak out lots of those hot rodders that I spanked when they found out what was under the hood! Lol. Sure wish I could turn the clock back to those times...some of the best of my life. Thanks for reading!

[@trevorrisley5419]

Great information, Robbie. Thanks for Sharon.

[@AimForTheBushes908]

This was a great read Robbie, thanks for sharing. It was hard to imagine a 10 second street Nova in the mid 80s, must have been a crazy ride.

[@BigAlWillis]

many of my friends had the 5.0. The GN were faster on the roll like 25/30 mph because the turbo kicked in best. off the line depending on who was driving the mustang. They were side by side. mustangs were little better low end off the line.

[@ImpactedWizDom]

@@AimForTheBushes908 Yes sir, it was indeed a crazy ride. It was running a professionally built 427 small block stroker motor making nearly 600 hp at the crank along with a 150hp shot nitrous system plumbed directly into each individual runner on the intake. Let’s just say that I freaked out loads of guys in their 100+ thousand dollar hot rods in heads up street challenges where they were handily beaten by my little innocent looking Nova. Great times!

[@mojojojo3361]

No reason to buy this car. What in reality is special about it. The dealership thinks the car is worth more than it really is. I worked at a Buick dealership in 87-88 and we couldn't give these cars away. They were way too expensive at the time. There was NO demand for these cars from the dealership I worked at.

[@dj_illeagle]

Come on people, maybe Jay did buy or is interested in buying it. I see a more than capable buyer maintaining his poker face. At the end of the day this is just a potential buyer on a test drive with the salesman. To treat Jay or anyone else any different simply for their perceived financial means is a great way for a salesman to remove themselves from any purchase that may have transpired. Guranteed! There's a reason those with the means tend to get the best deals. Also, the car has been for sale for 30+yrs; Jay obviously knows waiting another day, week, month, year, etc would be in his best interest if the car happens to be on his radar. Sales people in this day and age suck at the simple things, like putting themselves in the buyers shoes. Unfortunately EVERYONE is trying to sell you something nowadays one way or another. Like manual transmissions, genuine conversation with strangers with similar interests is a thing of the past. Keep that poker face Jay; it's one thing you can trust.

@@kjkj6362 Yeah, unfortunately it kinda stuck in my head durin the whole video. I know Jay is just human, good days bad days, but I have never heard him him do that to a guest, especially a regular guy, not famous actor or something. The dude looked nervous, as any of us would be, plus he's a car dealer. Old habits are hard to break. I've also been personal security for many Hollywood and Nashville types and do not have even one pic of me and a client or was all that excited to be working with anyone but would have liked to meet Jay just to see his garage. Not dissin him now, he's livin my dream and of course has done more for the automobile collecting hobby than anyone I know of. This just seemed way out of character. We owned one Grand National, a non T-top version that the owner, a young dude, had kept in like new condition. I had a Pro Street big block S-10, cool but not practical, and he wanted to trade. So help me I tried to NOT trade with him but he kept pushing to make the deal. He got arrested on the way home doin massive burnout at a redlight. Sorry, went way too long, as usual, but doubt nebody reads my novels neway. Back to the drivin part. L8r.

He probably couldn't get $70,000 for it today. He should have sold it back in the day instead of being greedy and now thinking a car that has sat for over 30 years and has hardly been driven is worth over 100k. I'd rather have one with some miles on it that somebody drove and took car of over this "new" one. A lot of stuff will need replaced from it sitting for so long.

@Bo Oliver Exactly, even cars he bought brand new decades ago have minimal miles on them. Even if he was driving all of them evenly, they'd still be minimally used.

[@Saleen50SP]

I remember seeing this car at their dealership in February 2014. I had went along with my next door neighbor who had gone in and purchased a brand new 2014 GMC Sierra and they had this GNX sitting in the showroom. As my neighbor closed the deal with the Sierra...one of the other salesman was talking to me about how they never sold the car and has never been registered and that it had been in their possession since 1987. He mentioned that at one point someone had offered about $200k for the car..and they still did not take the money. The only "damage" it had was a small dent on the hood. About the size of a dime. A customer's kid threw something up in the air and landed on the hood. I cant remember what it was exactly.. Making the small dent. I never noticed the dent..even when he told me where it was..he had to put his finger on the dent for me to see it. So that's how small it was. And no paint damage. They probably fixed it with paintless dent removal by now. To keep the car in "running" shape..they would "drive" the car around the property of the dealership. All the time being nervous not to hit a car or be hit by someone else. So it never hit the streets. Now that it's up for sale some 5 years later...it's going to be interesting to find out how much it sold for. But since 5 years ago they didn't take $200K... I'm wondering how high it's going to be sold for. Who knows..back then they didn't want to sell it..so no offer was considered. No matter how high it was. Now that it's actually for sale..it might agree to let it go for less than the $200k that was last offered. I hope I hear how much it finally went for. That is a beautiful car...especially seeing it in pereson. It was very well preserved over the past 30 years.
