If you run a 9.9 in the 1/4, it is a 9 sec car :D

I wonder how many miles are really on it and how long the speedo cable was unplugged for?

Very true Speedo was unplugged. Seriously who just goes out and buys /pay's for a car and lets it just sit for 20 years. They could have never know that this car would be selling for 100k + after 20 years and with inflation anyways buying that car for 30k in 87 and trying to sell it now for 109k.
Just an example parents bought their first house for 27k in 85 and sold it for 115k in 04. So in theory the guy is only making his money back on it.

How do you know the speedo was unplugged? The vehicle was never sold. New car dealers do this all the time with limited edition or last run cars. If something was built and was very special (and the GNX was), dealers hold onto them as investments. Dealers have enough money to sit on several cars like this if they want to. Imagine the "floor traffic" having a car like this would create for a dealership.

We have a Dodge dealer here that has a first run Viper set aside (might be behind glass) for display to attract people onto the show room.

about what? grand nationals are teh shit, but with most things that just sit around tend to rot, that is unless this things actually been maintained.

kind of like an old ferrari or prosche or beemer thats been maintained but fuckin catches fire the minute the seller hands you the keys, and those cars are much higher quality that a friggin GM car...

You think old exotics can outlast a GM G-body? Do we need to send you back to the n00b pile or what?

Would this car be considered worthy of a Barret Jackson auction???
