(Fox News) – A rare 1987 Buick GNX muscle car with just 8.5 miles on the
odometer sold in an online auction on Friday night for $200,000, nearly
setting a record for the model.

The black coupe is number 480 of the 547 cars like it that were built, with
the last of them sold in 2017 for $220,000 after covering 68 miles in its life.

The GNX was an evolution of the Grand National with a turbocharged 3.8-
liter V6 officially rated at 276 hp, but suspected to put out much more, that
made it one of the quickest cars in the world.
