Nice. Wish I could afford it! Weird that it has a vin. As a one off, or experimental, you'd think GM would do without the vin. Probably could drive it on a dealer's plate. I would

But I'm guessing GM most likely pulled this Esky out of their stock or assembly line to modify it. Just like they did eith the GNX. I know you're familiar with those James . The Fortunate Few.

Maybe not, the VIN suggests that this was a pre-production truck but I do not know how they go about assigning VIN numbers. The GNXs were pulled from the production line and had no special VIN designating them as a GNX, they were just Regals with the Grand National trim. Prior to '87, the all of the '84-'86 GNs were T-Types with the GN package according to their VINs.

It definitely has some 10-year-old styling cues with the "body kit"-esque rear bumper and ebay-ish tail lights.

I say a bunch of us pool our play money together, buy it, then divvy up the parts. I call dibs on the engine, trans, shifter and console and seats.
