"Ugly As It Is Fast...

And it was ugly as sin." This beast has been topping my dream car list for more than a few minutes. Any car that came in any color you wanted as long as it was black (thanks Ford), is a car I'm okay with. The '87 Buick GNX and Grand National were the "Grand Nationals to end all Grand Nationals." The final year of production brought with it an underrated 276hp motor, a turbocharger and a Stewart Warner gauge cluster. Yup, as in DIGITAL AGE -- the future -- Max Headroom shit! You may also remember this car from the opening sequence of the new Fast And Furious film. What? I swear I didn't see it in the theater twice. Another reason to lust after the pure, badass icon of my youth is the fact that you had to actually pay to have the Buick emblems added back onto the car if you wanted them because Buick thought the car looked better without them. Sold and sold.
