The car isn't even all original! Shit it's supposed to have Eagle Gatorback tires and there are friggin Goodyear Eagle vr50s. haha I kinda want to buy a car and just never drive it. I wonder what a brand new dsm or 3s or something would go for.

The GNX is an incredible car. But could GM come up with any more of a terrible styling. What isn't squared off on this car. Pick ups have more rounded edges.

A lot of 60s muscle cars are more soothing to the eyes.

Well I just went on KBB and blue booked it and its value is $28,895. I'm going to email him an offer and see where it goes from there.

The "SW" at the bottom of the gauges stands for Stewart-Warner if I remember correctly. Too bad the GSX couldn't come with Auto-Meter gauges.

Since it was never titled I wonder if it will come with the full factory warranty since they don't start until the car is actually purchased and titled?

20 year old rubber will be rock solid and cracked, and would be lucky to hold air.

Wow, if I had the money, I'd buy this car. This car will be worth $1M in 20 years when this whole collector boom happens again.

Goodyear Eagle VR50's are gatorbacks.

The factory warranty would be over by year, not miles.

MSO means it's never been titled and would be subject to whatever fees are to title it for the first time. Probably $500 based on the original sticker price of $30K. The bonus is whoever buys it is the "original" owner.

Yes, but the "years" never started since it was never titled. Like when you buy a leftover model the 3/36 (for example) doesn't start until you purchase it even though its already a year old.

You are probably right Hughes, funny!

That car has been on eBay already, must have been relisted due to a non-paying bidder. Very clean car though that's for sure.

You might be right. The date the warranty starts is the "in service date", which happens when the first title is applied for. Hmmm. Not that you'd really need a warranty on a 9-mile car.

I'm sure a lot of seals are rotted by now, and who knows what kind of running order the drivetrain and engine are in after 20 years of sitting. Whoever buys that might be able to scam GM into a bunch of new parts!

Most of the time when someone stores a collector car like that, they start it every few months and maybe drive it around the block. Considering they probably trailered it from the dealership, there's your nine miles.

I was thinking this same thing. I would like a car that was driven every once in a while. And come on, how can you guys say there's 9 miles when the odom reads 9.9. that clearly rounds up to 10

JET 06-27-2007 01:37 AM

Re: 9 mile GNX on ebay
 
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.

I meant to say Very true about the speedo being unplugged QUOTING Jet.
Not trying to say I have proof. Just its always an option and some people are shaddy as hell.

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?
