Third 1987 Buick Regal GNX will be auctioned in January
You might have read about and seen this very model back in the day.
A member of the 1987
Buick press fleet is hitting the auction block next year and it's a rarified gem: a low-mileage
Regal
Grand National GNX, serial No. 003 and one of just 547 models built for
that year, and the last of the traditional body-on-frame,
rear-wheel-drive Grand Nationals. It'll be auctioned at the
Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in January.
The GNX No. 003 was loaned out to publications including
Autoweek,
Motor Trend and
Road & Track, where it racked up around 8,200 miles.
After making the test-drive rounds in the automotive media, the car
sold in 1988 as a brass hat/company official car to Fischer Buick in
Troy, Mich. with approximately 8,200 miles on it. From there, it quickly
sold to a local resident who drove it very little, and sold it in the
spring of 1989. Since 1992, it has reportedly been kept in
climate-controlled storage, totally original, unmodified and undamaged,
with just 10,790 miles on the odometer today. It recently underwent a
complete mechanical service and cosmetic reconditioning.
The first '87 GNX ever produced resides in the General Motors
Heritage Collection and No. 002 is at the Sloan Museum in Flint, Mich.
