Overview

This is a true Grand National made to look like a GNX.  Badging is only on the front grill and rear bumper as the GNXs were done, has wheel flares, side heat extractors, GNX turbo cover, 16 inch GNX style wheels and center caps.  Also has the GNX gauge cluster in dash in lieu of the original analog 0 to 85 speedometer.  This car is beautiful, almost flawless, has tons of power.  Very quick.  I am the fourth owner and have the previous titles.

Paint/Body

The paint is 6 years old and I would rate it a 9.5.  Near perfect!  Original metal all around, very sound body.  It has both the upper and lower front fender bracing, and the bracing behind the rear seat.  Stock Grand Nationals did not come with this, and the bracing certainly helps the rigidity for the torque this car has.  New GNX door sill plates.

Interior

Impeccable with the exception of a wear or thin spot on the driver's seat right where your left knee would be.  Not a burn mark or stain, just thin.  Can't see it in the pictures as the color still matches the rest of the gray portion of the seat.  Power antenna, power windows, locks, etc., all mechanicals work as they should.  T-Top bags included, regular floor mats and GNX floor mats, and original owners manual.  Again, GNX style gauges with 39,500 original miles.  (original gauge set up included with car) Car Fax will verify, Auto Check will add 100,000 miles to it.  A New York inspection in 2004 added 100,000 miles of driving since the previous inspection in 2002.  Car Fax researched it and corrected it, Auto Check would not respond.

Suspension/Exhaust

New springs and Bilstein shocks added in 2009. Hooker high flow aluminum exhaust and mufflers, cat delete.  GNX 16 inch wheels with BF Goodrich g-force tires, P245/50zr front and 255/50zr back with less than 4000 miles on them.  Note the GNX differential cover, but car does not have the unique GNX ladder bar suspension.

Engine/Transmission

Now for the fun stuff.  Engine and transmission are original and have not been apart.  In lieu of the stock 28 pound injectors are 36 pound injectors.  Car also has big mouth K&N air filter, polished air plenum, larger stage III turbo bell, billet fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge on fuel rail, hot wire set up for fuel pump, 93 octane chip, new alternator and battery.  Air conditioner has been converted in 2008.

Summary

You'll notice my description is very factual and to the point, so you know exactly what you are getting.  In my view, this is one of the most stunning beauties you'll find.  It is an extremely quick and fast car that is a blast to drive, yet has all the comfort of a Buick.  The Grand Nationals came loaded with options from concert sound AM/FM/Cassette, cruise, tilt, etc.  You name it.  You will not be disappointed.  Feel free to ask questions via eBay.
