Here are a few pictures of my friends '96 Buick. T-Tops, LS-6 conversion with over 600 documented turbo horsepower, six speed manual transmission. Basically everything the GNX wanted to be when it grew up.

i worked in a Buick dealership, as a service writer/advisor, when the one and only GNX came in...

it was actually sold to a guy somewhere in Texas, and the day it came in, a transporter was there to take it away...

many of us only got a few minutes to look it over.

a cheaper version of the Grand national, was the Buick T-Type.......the dealership had plenty of those, maybe 2 of the Grand Nationals.

if i recall, there was a limited number of Buick dealerships that actually got the pleasure of getting a GNX.

Most of those high horsepower vehicles were destroyed under the Obama mandates! Sorry to say.

Don’t forget, horsepower ratings today are figured differently then then years gone back, just sayin

Mother had a 1949 Buick, but it got totaled on an Easter Sunday when it was raining in L.A. The '56 Mercury only had its fender bent in. She then bought a '54 Pontiac, which the radiator somehow got pierced the following Easter. then a '57 Olds followed by a Chevelle. Point of story is I have never driven on an Easter Sunday myself. It is the only thing I am stupidstitious about (sic).

My older brother got an 8-track to cassette converter for me for Christmas. I was utterly dumbfounded that it was real and actually worked. Ahhh the good ol' days when advanced technology was mechanical.....
