Came close to buying an 87’ GNX a couple years ago but had to put those plans on hold. Youngest son got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes so everything went for his insulin, pump and everything else. In time it will be my time but for now just gotta wait. Very nice GN Nick 👍🏽

[@hotrow69]

Nick you have the best job ever my friend. I’m 53 now back in the day when I was a teenager I always asked my dad to drive by maple motors to see all the classic cars anytime we were in the big guitar. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@redbuick]

I hate when people debadge these. If I was gonna buy it I'd get a complete set of gn badges and the turbo 3.8litre badges. I'd have the paint buffed out and then probably get the A/C right. Great powerful car. A survivor.

[@GrandCamino6]

The original owner of my old 87 had it repainted prior to me buying it from him. He never put the emblems back on but presented me with a complete NOS set. I left them because it the look grew on me. I gave them to the next owner when I sold it a few years later.

[@cavindent6973]

It's not that serious.

[@mzaccagnini7179]

I agree.😊

[@turner0224]

Damn son couldn’t agree more. Badges mean a lot !

[@raphaeldelaghetto5343]

I'd like to way in here, lol. To me, It's really not that big of a deal. Either way, it's just personal tast. Personally, i think badges mean nothing. You know what it is. What else matters. It's not like anyone other than you cares about your car anyway, so do what u want with it. Steve McQueen, on the other hand, hated badges. He said cars looked a lot cleaner without them, and are you saying Steve McQueen was wrong? lol ok ok I'm just poking fun, i never cared for his movies anyways , snooze fest, lol dont say that to a mustang fanboy or theyl get there panties all up in watt or something lol at the end of the day we all have are own tasts, likes and dislikes. But I think one thing we can all agree on is how much we laugh at the guy that puts fake badges on his car. Gnx badge on a grand national that's not a gnx, shelby badges on Mustang v6, yuck, f that guy lol am I right lol.

[@tuck7924]

I can still remember when my stepdad brought one from the Buick dealership in 1987. It was less then 20k new. And you can get upgraded stages for the engine from the dealership. He had some of those done too.

Love it.. Don't remember the turbo on them lagging so bad.. but has been a few decades since I was around one full time.

[@jasonmuller1260]

That is a nice ride Nick. I actually visited your dealership over memorial weekend checked out some of your cars and wondered to myself how often you got the turbo gbody coming through your lot. I love gbodys i have had a ttop black monte ss for 5 years now because i always said thats the closest thing to a grand national i could afford. Well about 6 months ago i found a 87 ttop grand national talked to the owner for 4 months working on a deal well 2 months ago he called me and accepted my offer and i ended up with a ttop 44k original 1 owner car. I seriously thought i was ganna have heart failure when he called me. But very nice car.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@FASHIONEDbyFINESSE]

had one back in 1997,also an 86. These cars doesn't get enough love for their handling abilities. Floats down the interstate on a luxury car feel suspension and can take fast curves comfortably too.

[@mikesteelheart]

Back in '97 almost nothing would hold a candle to a stock G/N except a Viper, ZR1 Vette, or Mustang Cobra...

[@darknes7800]

Kinda takes the curves, okay for an G body car. Flash oversteer was always interesting in hot corner !!!!

[@darknes7800]

Dont forget the GNX and then the Hurricane and Cyclone a few years later !!!! Back when GM was a HP leader and innovator, now they are a far behind follower.

[@FASHIONEDbyFINESSE]

​@@darknes7800 really good tires that grip were a must have

[@FASHIONEDbyFINESSE]

​​​ and for 3/4 the price ! I paid $6900 for mine back then .For just $10k you could get low low miles and showroom quality, but these cars were readily available back then..

[@markhamrick9078]

Best friend bought one of these when we were teenagers.... Lots of fun and great memories!!! 👍😎

[@nealhardin6869]

That car is dangerously fast. Someone knew what they were doing with that 3.8 sfi turbo

[@tyobsxura4360]

I bet that odometer has rolled over 3x. Car is clean and price reflects the stage 1 motor that replaced the original one. They aren’t cheap to build. GLWS

[@GrandCamino6]

@MapleMotorsMuscleCars NickSouthgate What a beast of a car! I wish I had $30k to spend on another GN. Be sure that alky doesn’t run out as that tune is going to need that alky not to hurt the motor. Props for pricing this car and all of your other classics fair 👍🏼😎 Forgot to mention on my previous favorites comment. That little black and yellow Dodge D50 (I think that’s what is) with the 318 swapped in looks like it would be an absolute hoot! Probably a death trap but you’d die with a smile on your face 😁

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

Is this a 3.8 or a 4.3 V 6 in this beast ? I would say 4.3 in the car that you see, for I see this performance out of the 4.3 and not the other.

[@mikesteelheart]

3.8. The GMC Syclone and Typhoon got the 4.3 turbo. The 3.8 made tons of power and can easily be tweaked to 400-500+hp.

[@bassproable]

I had an 84 T-type in the early 90's. It was a fun sleeper.

[@kevinhamblin951]

Looks like 59,000 original miles ! Locking differential …… nice car Thanks Nick 😊

[@GrandCamino6]

That’s what I was thinking too. Most of these cars have been turned over at least once or twice now. That dash looks too mint to be 159k or 259k. It wouldn’t matter to me if it had 500k miles as it most likely had a built motor & trans. The car looks very healthy.

[@tyobsxura4360]

Has a whole new stage 1 motor buddy lol, can’t be 60k original miles

[@GrandCamino6]

@@tyobsxura4360 I’d say it’s for sure rocking a built motor & probably a trans as stock one not reliably hold that kind of power 😬 Not for long anyway 😁

Another HS crush! This car, an IROC or a MC SS were the cars to have in my HS days! I couldn’t afford one 😢. Lol it’s all good I can now though!

I'd love to own one. This one looks like it has a decent amount of bondo on the doors and some rust on underside of trunk. Clean undercarriage.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Love the GN, it's one of my favorite cars!!! 🤜🤛

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

Buick has a handful of gems BUT the GN is by far the most popular today. Still second place to the GSX for me personally

[@griffonclaw]

Growing up in the 80s, the 'affordable' muscle cars of the time were Mustang GT 5.0, Camaro IROC-Z and the Trans Am Turbo. All of them extremely beautiful for this era that was emerging from the terrible malaise era. The Grand National was the sleeper of the bunch and now it's one of the most coveted cars to own now. It was also the smart car to buy. Good grief it sounds ready to go and you're just barely touching the gas @4:15. Badass. @4:20, "Whoa...."

[@troyburns6971]

So true , I worked at a Ford dealership back in 87 when the new 5.0 Mustangs came out with 140 on the dash ! I've got two of them now but always wanted a T - type or Grandnational , they kicked major booty at the track and on the street , as much as I love the 5.0 they could touch this car ! 🔥🔥😂👍

[@louislepage5111]
