number 75 in WI
Well a buddy of mine just purchased GNX 75 it has 25,000 miles on it.I am pumped for him he has waited a long time to buy one and he finally will own one.He flew down to florida 2 weeks or so ago and drove it etc.And I ran into him last night and he told me he owns it, so wedsnday this week I am going to go see it.I have never seen one face to face except internet pics etc.So its like the unicorn of fairy tale land ,that you hear about and never see to me....It has all the build paper etc,the only thing that he is missing is the jacket for it,which i am sure he will be searching for..

Nice..send him over to this site!

Ask him to take you for the spin...the rear suspension 'rising' under boost is very neat!

If I buy it for any reason its up to me. Maybee I want to drive it into a lake watch it sink thats up to me. Now if you buy a investment car it has to have like 500 miles on it and thats not what I wanted.

Thanks guys. Back in 1986 I tried to buy a gn had like 6000.00 cash went to my local buick garage to order a gn they showed me door I was only 18. So I did not get a gn. I bought a 84 regal in 86 put in a 327 huge roller cam , Four speed borg warner trans, 12 bolt possi. Had the time of my life.
When the gnxs showed up in 88 some one brought one to my town and talked smack So we lined them that regal blew the doors off the gnx it took him close to mile to catch up with me. But at that same time I said ,I will one one someday.
