$29XXX sticker. Wow.
Ton of money for an 87 model, but seems so affordable now
Pretty sure you could still get a clean 87 LX for under $15K at that point.

I remember paying 17.5K for my '86 GN.

That's roughly $67k in 2019 dollars. I'd rather have a C8...
(for reference the $125k 1987 slant nose is like $288k in 2019 dollars.)
Regardless, I love those GNX cars.
Well...C8 is great and all, but the GNX today would not be the GNX of 30 years ago.
For the sake of argument, look how far ahead of the game that GNX was in 87 vs an 87 C4 Vette.
Now move both of those platforms forward 30 years, one results in the C8, who knows what the other would lead to...but I would imagine along the lines of the CTSV3s, etc.
Word. Engineering progress is quite a thing! I added a line to my post about the 1987 930... Sticker was roughly $125k. Thats $288k in 2019 dollars. That car cannot compete with a modern 992 turbo nor any other car that costs $125k new... much less any new car costing $288k.

A 5.0 5-speed notch with P/W and AC was under 12K new in 89.
A friend of a friend has 2 GNX cars, couple of Grand Nationals and some old school '67 Buick Skylarks.
Another buddy, my mechanic actually, has a '87 GN that he used to take to the track and blow the t-tops off of it. lol
Awesome cars.

That thing has been indoors, climate controlled I'm sure in the showroom, damn near it's entire history. Even though, the last few seconds you could see the headliner coming apart and the sun visor too. Damn glue doesn't last forever. Would still own and drive the sheet out of it.
$14.4k with tax, title, license for a new 1993 LX, 5.0L, 5-spd.........
I'd love to have a clean GN or a unicorn GNX.
