Even without the rather questionable reputation of low mileage, the Buick GNX, or Grand National Experiment, created with ASC McLaren as a 547-unit series, is a unique automobile. The turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine, rated at 276 horsepower but capable of producing 300 hp, made it one of the fastest vehicles back in the day.
Getting a unique muscle vehicle that is still brand new is allegedly worth a lot to certain individuals. As a result, driving is no longer worthwhile.
This record-breaking 1987 Buick GNX, commonly known as the Las Vegas GNX, was built in Las Vegas. It sold for a whopping $275,000, buyer's fee included, on June 19 at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas show. This makes it a record holder twice over: it is both the lowest-mileage and most costly example known to exist. It's the same GNX that became the world's most expensive in 2019, selling at auction for $200,000, only to be surpassed by one that sold for $205,000 in May 2021.
This GNX was sold new to Ralph's Buick in Mena, Arkansas, with only 14.3 kilometers on the clock. It's never been driven or registered, and it's still encased in factory plastics.
"Even without the rather questionable reputation of low mileage..." What does that even mean?
