Rare 1987 Buick GNX muscle car auctioned for near-record $215,000
Fox News
A 1987 Buick GNX muscle car has been sold for $215,000, the third-highest price paid for the rare model. Only 547 of the black coupes were built and prices have been skyrocketing in recent years.
Buick built 547 of the coupes which were powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 that made it the quickest American car of the day. In fact, a Car and Driver test from the era determined its 4.6 second 0-60 mph acceleration time was second quickest in the world, behind only the Porsche 911 Turbo's 4.5 second sprint. The sinister-looking GNX was available in any color, as long as it was black.
The high bid for the car was $136,000 with less than nine minutes to go, but quickly rose as the deadline approached and closed as the third-highest price ever paid for the model.
