That is just stunning! Black is tough to pull off and you crushed it brother. That interior color is especially nice and looks exactly like the real deal.
Impressed.

Re: 87 Buick GN
I remember when these and the turbo Buicks first came out. No one really knew what they were capable of. Now they are highly prized and collected.
You did a great job on this and the paint is amazing. Well done!!

Very nice! When I was a teen my dream car was always a black Monte Carlo SS!

Re: 87 Buick GN
Odd tidbit of trivia for those who don't already know. The Buick Grand National used a Buick engine and was faster than the Corvette while the Buick GNX used an Oldsmobile engine and was WAY faster than the Grand National, but looked extremely similar. Only a few hundred GNX's were made and they fetch top dollar even in bad shape. Those cars are faster than they look.
Many subtle differences, but at a glance they appear the same.

Re: 87 Buick GN
When I was a rookie street cop in the early 90's, the GM cars of that body style were the number one g-ride. The Cutlass/Regal/Monte Carlo was the top stolen at the time in the area, and often used by the various local gangster hoodlums for their drive bys and robberies. When you came across one on the streets, odds were good that somebody inside was up to no good.
