Notes
Fusion Motor Company proudly presents this 1987 BUICK GNX with ONLY 1,298 miles!!! Without question, the most desirable street car of the 80's & 90's - The Buick GNX!! Known as Darth Vader's Car, there was nothing as scary as a GNX with its fender vents and widened wheel flares encompassing the GNX-specific Black Mesh Wheels. Those who knew, wouldn't even bother a light-to-light sprint with the mighty GNX, and those who didn't, quickly found out as the GNX pulled away at an astounding pace. This particular GNX is number 116 of 547 ever built. A true investment-grade collectible that will continue to appreciate!!! About the GNX: For the final year, 1987, Buick introduced the limited production GNX, for Grand National Experimental, at $29,900. Made in partnership with McLaren Performance Technologies/ASC, Buick produced only 547 GNs with the interior trim package, that were then sent off to McLaren and upgraded into the Buick GNX. Buick underrated the GNX at 276 HP at 4400 rpm and a very substantial 360 lbâft at 3000 rpm of torque, although actual output is 300 HP and 420 lbâft. This was created to be the Grand National to end all Grand Nationals. Changes made included a special Garrett AiResearch T-3 turbocharger with a ceramic-impeller blowing through a more efficient and significantly larger capacity intercooler with a Cermatel (ceramic-aluminum) coated pipe connecting the intercooler to the engine. A GNX specific EEPROM, low-restriction exhaust with dual mufflers, reprogrammed turbo Hydramatic 200-4R transmission with a custom torque converter and transmission cooler, and unique differential cover/Panhard bar included more of the performance modifications. Exterior styling changes include vents located on each front fender, 16 inch black mesh style wheels with VR-speed rated tires, and deletion of the hood and fender emblems. The interior changes of the GNX included a serial number on the dash plaque and a revised instrument cluster providing Stewart-Warner
