Yea GNX's = uber rare. GN's are "rare", but not as much.

It's "unique", but honestly, the GN was known for its powerplant.

evomike · 11-23-2007, 08:32 PM

That's not a gnx its just a grand national 2 different cars and yes grand nationals are everywhere and are pretty cheap

ThePrimerSuspect · 11-23-2007, 08:48 PM

what do you consider pretty cheap? id say a car thats 20 years old that can still net $20k (in good shape) is pretty good.

evomike · 11-23-2007, 09:02 PM

Yeah but you have to think of it this way, the car was prob bought to swap, you can pick them up cheap in ned of work for like 2 to 3 grand. You haveto look atit that way, I am sure they didn't buy a mint car and do that swap, trust me you can pick up most of them for under 12 grand.

well, i have one about 5 houses down. theirs a dozen GN's running around here also. evomike lives down the street, so im sure he sees the same ones. Kirban performance is also up the road, so i assume thats why theirs so many around. i think hes talking about the stock GN's which have oiling problems. i dont think he would cut up a GNX.

a normal running GN can be picked up for between 5 and 7k.

poolmike · 11-23-2007, 11:05 PM

20k for GN??? It would have to be brand new.

zerioustt · 11-25-2007, 05:37 PM

do some reading and tell me if its still a regal or gn.

Zillon · 11-26-2007, 04:41 PM

I've read about this swap before.

It's a Diesel Cutlass that's been converted to look like a GN.

Reason why it's a Cutlass is so he can still run the Duramax and get around emissions.

grimm · 11-26-2007, 05:18 PM

So tired of of every thread being an argument over who knows more about something they all know nothing about.
