Throttle House's review of the 1987 Buick Grand National GNX is mixed (53/100), acknowledging it as a legendary American performance car that delivers impressive credentials—276 horsepower, 0-60 in 4.5-5 seconds, and a bulletproof engine—while featuring aggressive styling only available in black and cabin tech like a 160-mph speedometer and special gauges. However, the review highlights significant livability compromises including a deteriorated headliner that rests on occupants' hair and manual seat belt adjusters, along with complete absence of modern safety features like ABS and traction control. The biggest caveat is value: current asking prices around $250,000 far exceed the original sub-$30,000 tag, and Throttle House notes that $250,000 gets you significantly more elsewhere. This car is for the nostalgic enthusiast who dreamed of owning a GNX growing up and values automotive legend over practical considerations.
