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 lb�ft at 3000 rpm of torque, although actual output

　　is 300 HP and 420 lb�ft.

　　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 analog gauges,

　　including an analog turbo boost gauge.

　　Performance was measured faster than the Ferrari F40 and the

　　Porsche 930 with a 1/4 mile time of 12.7 seconds at 113.1 mph and a

　　0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds (0.4 and 0.3 seconds quicker,

　　respectively). The GNX used a unique torque arm that was mounted to

　　a special, GNX only, rear differential cover, for increased

　　traction. The torque arm rear suspension alters the suspension

　　geometry, making the body lift while planting the rear tires down,

　　resulting in increased traction.

　　GNX #001 is the 1986 prototype currently owned by Buick and

　　sometimes makes appearances at car shows around the US.

　　The stealthy appearance of the all-black GNX and Grand National

　　(and the resemblance of its grill to his helmet's mouthpiece),

　　coupled with the fact that the Grand National was initially

　　released during the popularity of Star Wars movies, earned it the

　　title "Darth Vader's Car". Car and Driver covered the GNX model's

　　introduction with the headline "Lord Vader, your car is ready." Due

　　to the turbocharged six-cylinder engine, the Buick make, and the

　　black paint Grand Nationals were sometimes referred to as the "Dark

　　Side". The "Dark Side" contrasted with the more common V8 Mustangs

　　and Camaros that were popular at the time.
