I will be content with any 86/87 GN, $70k is just out of my price range...

Here you go Hollywood and Ken.....don't know if the seller would want a nut or kidney, but I bet he'll take the $70,000 the bid is up to.

Our good buddy Johnny (the stub-leg barefooter) is on his SECOND LeSabre and he's only 25!

You don't see many T-Types around either. What a sleeper!

Ken

My younger brother had a T-Type. That car hauled. In the 80s it was the GM performance car.

The turbo lag is pretty hindering, from what I know. Once it kicked in though, you are pinned to the seat. I experienced one ride in my life in a GN and won't ever forget the G's when the turbo is maxed out.

Ken

Its the turbo, Ken.

I agree, the Grand National is a sweet car. I think I remember hearing it was faster than the Vette of its day.

Hollywood, it doesn't get any better than Nautiques, Babes, Beers and a finely tuned GNX. That's my happy place. I'd give my right nut for a 1987, GNX, low mileage, perfect condition. It would be my weekend ride.

Would your buddies Dad take my right nut over your kidney?

Thanks for the videos, Hollywood. I'll watch them all.

Ken

Name one car today that's stock, fast, mean looking and affordable. Granted the GNX was $29K in 1987. Almost 20 years later, the GNX still turns heads and is very fast. Lots of mods can be done to the engine too. Where have all the fast cars gone?

Ken

Ah, a subject close to my heart. The GNX and the GN are totally different cars (as was mentioned). The GN is essentially a T-Type with "Grand National" badging and paint. The GNX is a McLaren-developed supercar of which there are less than 600 in existance. Apparently it was developed to give the Calloway guys a run for the money. I went to a local car show back in college that featured a minty-clean GNX, bone stock with almost no miles. I thought the 0-60 was actually 5.5 seconds rather than sub-5, which is really insane for the time. I'd love to own a nice minty 87 GN at some point in life.

These cars are good investments. Their value keeps creaping up, like the mid to late 90's Toyota Supra Turbo. I'm trying to convince my wife of this fact. I can't say the same for my '99 Mercury Mountaineer. I paid $28K for it and it's worth about $4,500. How is that even legal?

Sean Penn the actor lives in the area. A couple of years ago, he was driving around in a 20 year old Grand National. Easier to stay incognito. BKH
