FOR SALE GNX 393 WITH 27,800 ACTUAL MILES -
This GNX has had the same owner for the last 3 years. In those three years he has driven it less than 1,000 miles. Car has had 3 previous owners, one of which owned it for 20 years. Originally sold down south when it was new.
Car comes with the window sticker and all related documents including the rare GNX jacket and book. Garage kept still retains the new car smell. Two things don’t work one you can probably guess - the power antenna the other is the AC has a slight leak. Neither issue affects the value. Car has all original paint, no dents, no dings. Brand new correct size tires. Owner had the wheels redone so they appear like new!
Garage kept in a heated garage located in Michigan. Exhaust has been replaced but mufflers appear stock. Has a test pipe but the seller has the original catalytic converter. A real GNX!
Price is $92,500. Keep in mind JJ Best one of the premier finance companies for collectable cars puts the GNX in the $130 grand price range for a pristine example. This GNX has not been offered for sale in the last 3 years anywhere else except through me for the owner. Enough extras mostly literature related goes with the car and would virtually fill the trunk. Keep in mind with the proper credit rating JJ Best will finance as much as 90% and this GNX is priced below its true retail market value. The seller wants to move in another direction and has priced his GNX to sell.
For more pictures and additional information email me direct [email protected]
PHOTOS 1 AND 2 - We show 8 different views of this GNX 393. These 8 photos are from 3 years ago from the company the current owner bought the GNX 393 from. Car has only gone 1,000 miles in the last 3 years. The owner will be sending me recent photos. He sent me some the other day but they did not turn out. So again these photos are from 3 years ago but the car has only gone 1,000 miles since then. Garaged in a heated garage since then.

BUICK “KNOW HOW” SERIES OF BOOKLETS -
I have no idea how many Buick made in this Know How series of booklets during the mid 1980s. It is important to keep in mind each of these Know How Booklets covers all the various Buick models for a certain year or years. Not just the Turbo Regal models.
I found a few more of these unique original Buick “Know How” booklets. See the next photo.
PHOTO 3 - The photo to the left we show the “Know How” booklet for Fuels and Electronic Cruise Controls. The photo on the right shows the “Know How” booklet for the power seat solution and fuel injection diagnosis and service. These Buick Known How booklets are listed for sale under the Rare Parts section.
AUTOCRAFT -
Back when the 1986-1987 Turbo Regals were just a few years old a company called Autocraft did a unique ground effects kit designed for the Regal body. I remember seeing it in a magazine back in the day. The kit in the pictures really blended the body to the bumpers and color coated everything to match. Today it is not uncommon to see various Turbo cars with color matched bumpers. I assume molds were made to produce this body kit. The company was located in California. I have never ever seen this kit on any Regal. Autocraft was just one of a few of the early companies that made cosmetic parts for the popular Turbo Regal. Kodiak West was another company that made some of the very first chrome plated Turbo shields.
PHOTO 4 - We show two photos that I have in my collection. Notice the car chosen was a white Turbo T with the black out package. White has always been one of the most popular colors in a Turbo Regal especially against the black out package.
TURBO REGAL VALUES TODAY -
Last week we gave the values for the GNX and Grand Nationals for a #1 car based on prices that JJ Best puts on those models. These are real values again based on a number 1 condition car. The term I used to use when describing some of the ones we sold was “Kirban Quality” meaning a car that I would keep. Miles are always a consideration and original paint are always two things that bump a car up in value. Every potential buyer always is seeking out the best value for the amount of money they have to invest.
I contacted JJ Best again earlier this week to get their input on the 1986 and 1987 T-Type and Turbo-T models and also the Turbo-T Limiteds to see how they stack up against a number 1 Grand National. In quick review the 1986/1987 Grand National is in the 50 grand range. The 1986 T-Type is in the $30 to $35 grand range. Ther 1987 Turbo-T is in the $35 to $38 grand range. The Turbo-T Limited is in the $37 to $42 grand range. Again these are the high figures for a number 1 car.
It goes without saying but in the mix of Turbo Regals there are approximately 200 of them that Molly personally signed the SPID trunk label from the two Reunion events he attended for us. That adds to the value of those particular cars. How much? Tough to say.
I remember selling my personal 1987 Turbo-T a few years ago for like $22 grand with 80,000 miles on it. I think my car today would have fetched $30 grand. The paint was all original, window sticker, with a few tasteful modifications including our style 16 by 8 wheels. SPID label was signed personally by Molly. Again these figures are for a #1 condition example.
What I found interesting is I also asked them about the A-body GM cars 1964-1967 vintage. As most readers know, I started in the GTO business in the later 1970s as my feeling was and still is, the GTO started the muscle car era and their values would be the leader for those years 1964-1967. JJ Best agrees with me and says the 1964-1967 GTOs are still fetching a bit more money than a comparable 1964-1967 Chevelle or Cutlass. This is not to say certain rare models would bring more money, but as a rule the 1964-1967 GTO takes the crown for greater value among the other A-body GM cars.
I feel kind of lucky having picked two GM cars over the last 40 plus years that have proven to not only hold their value, but continue to rise in value! To some degree even my love for Hurst and Hurst related items have a tremendous impact in the car market notably the Hurst wheels. Today an original brand new set of 4 Hurst wheels with the GM bolt pattern could set you back $8 grand or more! This is for a 14 by 6 wheel! Hurst never made a larger wheel. George Hurst would have been impressed since the Hurst wheel project was a flop. The most I ever sold a set for back in the day (mid 1980s) was $3500. This was for a used set off my personal 1964 GTO.
BREAKING NEWS REPRODUCTION CARDONE ALUMINUM BRAKE DRUMS -
As of this writing we still have just one set left of the 10 bolt format. Once this set sells we have no more and neither does Cardone the source that has supplied the industry with the reproduction ones.
ANOTHER ITEM IS NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE -
The source that supplies us with the power antenna masts that we then send to another company to get modified with a steel cable can no longer get the masts. This company supplies the Corvette industry. You can’t order the masts from our website due to the limited supply we have available. The new price on our remaining stock is $79.95 plus shipping. You must call our office to order. Currently we have less than 10 on hand and I believe another 10 are getting modified. I am sure since its the same power antenna masts as the Corvette companies are looking at getting it made overseas. Our part number is #7433. Every week now either we are getting word of a price increase or something is being discontinued or delayed. The situation more than likely will only get worse as the cars continue to age! Delays are happening across the industry with shipments from overseas which a good many of the reproduction parts come from. We have zero connections overseas as anything we get made is made 100% in the USA.
RIP LLOYD PRICE -
One of the very earliest pioneers in rock ‘n roll Lloy Price passed away at age 88 earlier this week. Better known as “Mr. Personality” had the first legit hit way back in 1952 Lawdy Miss Clawdy. This hit record back in 1952 sold over one million copies. A huge milestone for the time period. Both Elvis and Little Richard as well as others covered some of his major hits. Very few original rock ‘n roll artists from the early 1950s are still with us.
JUST ARRIVED IN STOCK -
We have a few of the Cold Case radiators in stock. We also got in more of the oil feed lines. We were out of them for almost a month!
MORE NEW TURBO REGAL PARTS COMING SOON -
Our goal is to add several new Turbo Regal parts each week to expand our product line. Coming soon a nice compact upgraded front brake set up that is a direct bolt on. A welcome upgrade to increase stopping ability no matter what brake system you have.
1989 TURBO TRANS AM STILL AVAILABLE -

When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.

NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]

I have no idea how many Buick made in this Know How series of booklets during the mid 1980s. It is important to keep in mind each of these Know How Booklets covers all the various Buick models for a certain year or years. Not just the Turbo Regal models.
I found a few more of these unique original Buick “Know How” booklets. See the next photo.
PHOTO 3 - The photo to the left we show the “Know How” booklet for Fuels and Electronic Cruise Controls. The photo on the right shows the “Know How” booklet for the power seat solution and fuel injection diagnosis and service. These Buick Known How booklets are listed for sale under the Rare Parts section.
AUTOCRAFT -
Back when the 1986-1987 Turbo Regals were just a few years old a company called Autocraft did a unique ground effects kit designed for the Regal body. I remember seeing it in a magazine back in the day. The kit in the pictures really blended the body to the bumpers and color coated everything to match. Today it is not uncommon to see various Turbo cars with color matched bumpers. I assume molds were made to produce this body kit. The company was located in California. I have never ever seen this kit on any Regal. Autocraft was just one of a few of the early companies that made cosmetic parts for the popular Turbo Regal. Kodiak West was another company that made some of the very first chrome plated Turbo shields.
PHOTO 4 - We show two photos that I have in my collection. Notice the car chosen was a white Turbo T with the black out package. White has always been one of the most popular colors in a Turbo Regal especially against the black out package.
TURBO REGAL VALUES TODAY -
Last week we gave the values for the GNX and Grand Nationals for a #1 car based on prices that JJ Best puts on those models. These are real values again based on a number 1 condition car. The term I used to use when describing some of the ones we sold was “Kirban Quality” meaning a car that I would keep. Miles are always a consideration and original paint are always two things that bump a car up in value. Every potential buyer always is seeking out the best value for the amount of money they have to invest.
I contacted JJ Best again earlier this week to get their input on the 1986 and 1987 T-Type and Turbo-T models and also the Turbo-T Limiteds to see how they stack up against a number 1 Grand National. In quick review the 1986/1987 Grand National is in the 50 grand range. The 1986 T-Type is in the $30 to $35 grand range. Ther 1987 Turbo-T is in the $35 to $38 grand range. The Turbo-T Limited is in the $37 to $42 grand range. Again these are the high figures for a number 1 car.
It goes without saying but in the mix of Turbo Regals there are approximately 200 of them that Molly personally signed the SPID trunk label from the two Reunion events he attended for us. That adds to the value of those particular cars. How much? Tough to say.
I remember selling my personal 1987 Turbo-T a few years ago for like $22 grand with 80,000 miles on it. I think my car today would have fetched $30 grand. The paint was all original, window sticker, with a few tasteful modifications including our style 16 by 8 wheels. SPID label was signed personally by Molly. Again these figures are for a #1 condition example.
What I found interesting is I also asked them about the A-body GM cars 1964-1967 vintage. As most readers know, I started in the GTO business in the later 1970s as my feeling was and still is, the GTO started the muscle car era and their values would be the leader for those years 1964-1967. JJ Best agrees with me and says the 1964-1967 GTOs are still fetching a bit more money than a comparable 1964-1967 Chevelle or Cutlass. This is not to say certain rare models would bring more money, but as a rule the 1964-1967 GTO takes the crown for greater value among the other A-body GM cars.
I feel kind of lucky having picked two GM cars over the last 40 plus years that have proven to not only hold their value, but continue to rise in value! To some degree even my love for Hurst and Hurst related items have a tremendous impact in the car market notably the Hurst wheels. Today an original brand new set of 4 Hurst wheels with the GM bolt pattern could set you back $8 grand or more! This is for a 14 by 6 wheel! Hurst never made a larger wheel. George Hurst would have been impressed since the Hurst wheel project was a flop. The most I ever sold a set for back in the day (mid 1980s) was $3500. This was for a used set off my personal 1964 GTO.
BREAKING NEWS REPRODUCTION CARDONE ALUMINUM BRAKE DRUMS -
As of this writing we still have just one set left of the 10 bolt format. Once this set sells we have no more and neither does Cardone the source that has supplied the industry with the reproduction ones.
ANOTHER ITEM IS NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE -
The source that supplies us with the power antenna masts that we then send to another company to get modified with a steel cable can no longer get the masts. This company supplies the Corvette industry. You can’t order the masts from our website due to the limited supply we have available. The new price on our remaining stock is $79.95 plus shipping. You must call our office to order. Currently we have less than 10 on hand and I believe another 10 are getting modified. I am sure since its the same power antenna masts as the Corvette companies are looking at getting it made overseas. Our part number is #7433. Every week now either we are getting word of a price increase or something is being discontinued or delayed. The situation more than likely will only get worse as the cars continue to age! Delays are happening across the industry with shipments from overseas which a good many of the reproduction parts come from. We have zero connections overseas as anything we get made is made 100% in the USA.
RIP LLOYD PRICE -
One of the very earliest pioneers in rock ‘n roll Lloy Price passed away at age 88 earlier this week. Better known as “Mr. Personality” had the first legit hit way back in 1952 Lawdy Miss Clawdy. This hit record back in 1952 sold over one million copies. A huge milestone for the time period. Both Elvis and Little Richard as well as others covered some of his major hits. Very few original rock ‘n roll artists from the early 1950s are still with us.
JUST ARRIVED IN STOCK -
We have a few of the Cold Case radiators in stock. We also got in more of the oil feed lines. We were out of them for almost a month!

NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
