No, My Buddy and I spent the last year building and painting this car.
I have a ton of resto pics of the work while it was being done.

For the right price he would sell it to buy a real one.

The paint alone would be 15k or more,It came out insane.
That is an acutal GNX cluster that we found with 0 miles on it.

The inner fender vents are there as well as the relay relocation brackets.

The car we started with even had tehe same options the GNX had.

The RPO sicker even has the T2L code in it

Looks great, where'd you find all the parts?

[GNTIM]

Impressive job, looks real.

Most of the GNX parts came off a car a local guy in Hartford was converting.
We bought the unfinished car from him and took off all the GNX parts cleaned it up and sold it.

The Wheels are GTA wheels we sent out and had redone with the correct offsets.

Some of the parts are Kirbans repros,etc.....

The car looks great.....curious on how guys go about deciding on the number they choose to duplicate? Is the original owner someone you know and asked him if it was ok or did you just pick the number at random?

[1BADTT]

That's as closest to the real thing I've ever seen. Where did u get this sticker made:



It's one of the most forgotten details on every conversion I've seen.

[UNDER-PRESSURE]

Very nice job Otto. Good painters are getting hard to find.

+2...Especially the responsible (time wise) ones, tell me about it !

[turbo87regal]

Now thats the best receration I have seen so far A lot better than the one that was on ebay in my opinion. Great gob and good attention to detail from what I see in the pics. Does it have the correct rear seat brace and fender well modifications?

I hope mine looks that good once painted. the only difference is that I choose to go with #548 so I dont step on anyones toes.

Thanks,We ended up painting it ourselves.

[gnx023]

As the owner of the real GNX023 I take offense to this replica. Why couldn't you use a fake badge like GNX548? When I decide to sell GNX023 this car will cause nothing but confusion to potential buyers.

Well that plate was in the parts car we bought,So we used it.
At hte car show the other day we were asked if it was a real GNX
numerous time and we say no.
Were not trying ot pass it off as one to anyone but ourselves

Well this plate was in a car we bought.
Find us a different one and well sell you a spare.
The good thing is,You VIN number tells the real story

[BlackMetal]

Looks great, especially sending in the GTA wheels and getting them spaced properly. Deserves to be called a clone unlike most of the GTA wheels and fender flares guys.

But I'll agree with "gnx023" it does kinda suck that your dash is numbered the same as an actual X that is still alive and functioning.

[KILL4PEACEUSMC]

I take offense to your offense........sell him one for a spare.......I like you! Lighten up and go wax your real GNX.....I'll be the one having fun in my 10 sec. SALVAGED TITLE daily driver!

This beautiful car is not being presented as a real GNX so who cares what # is on it. I doubt there would be any confusion to potential buyers of the real 023, GNX buyers usually know what there buying (#'s & paperwork). As far as the badge, Many fake GNX dash plates & replica parts have been sold over the years... should they all be destroyed to protect car collectors ego's? As long as no real GNX's were cut up & the parts were acquired legally you have to give a car of this caliber a BIG thumbs up. And again.... VERY NICE JOB Otto.

[Curtis Roys]

Does anyone reading here on the forum have any information on the past owners of GNX#11? I'm traveling to New york to look at it and need some real information on the originality of the car.

[Curtis Roys]

Hello Otto, what is your asking price for this recreation??

Curtis Roys - curtis@cct.nu

[GNBRETT]

Pictures don't do that car justice. One of, if not the nicest GNX Re-creation around anywhere. The owner put an obscene amount of time and money into this car. Truly a time capsule.

The guy listing that Re-creation GNX on Ebay listed it as the nicest Re-creation around? Not even close.

Kills4Peace,Thanks for defending our country and supplying the freedom and right to apply any number to the dashboard of our re-creation.
God Bless America and our Armed forces!
WE THANK YOU!

[TURBOPOWERED68]

nice looking X.
the fortunate 548 lol

[gnxtc2]

Who's shop????? Clean

Instead of selling that rolling chassis of yours, you park in that shop for some publicity. Or maybe build a motor for it

I've been inside that shop before, it's as clean as the pics look. I bought the mostly completed gnx conversion car turned back into gn from kash. I intended to keep it stock but that didn't work out so well unfortunately.

If you only had any idea the hours **** months spent on this car,especially the paint job,It is unreal.

The only 2 things missing we can think of is the number plate under the windshield(were working on one) and the actual GNX turbo.
Weve been keeping an eye out for one also.

This is a shop My best man owns and we are converting to a Turbo Buick
specialty shop from Restorations to Hi-Performance to Stock.

We will be purchasing a banner one were all set up.
Ill post pics of the shop,Most homes arent as nice inside

Even the workers have a LCD Tv on the wall

We have a full set of tools and are attached to one of hte most amazing Chassis guys around also.
