StealthSS Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 There was a rumor about a new GN...it was based on the Monaro/GTO---did I hear awd? Supercharged 3.6 Duratec or something else? Anyway, if they do or don't decide to make it, all the parts are already in production... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I saw that for the first time well over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthSS Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Wasnt that a Monaro instead of a Grand Am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 GNX Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthSS Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 If thats the car, its definitely a Monaro. They put as much engineering into that new Duratec V6 as they did NorthStar... Why not? It would give Buick a kick in sales, no doubt...and if it were to be made, I would want one of those more than a GTO. Especially if it had awd. So I guess for now when I buy again I will have to go fogey and get an STS-V---supercharged NorthStar w/awd... But all this discussion means nothing until we find out if 1. Boyd is 4real going to build one, and 2. If he is restoring an 87 GNX or helping to do a new one for 06 or 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Caleetro Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yeah, I thought it meant he was restoring an original GNX. Either way, it will be cool (unless he slaughters the GNX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 with the exception of wheels from boyd, i have absolutely no use for the man. i wouldn't have him build me a wheel barrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 That's the upside of these reality TV shows... Boyd might be a hell of a painter and have some good car crafting ideas now and again, but I just can't agree with how he runs his business. Mr. P.

daves1996 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I agree! I have lost any respect I had for the guy after the painter left the company and Boyd would not even shake his hand. His shop mamger is a loooossser as well. Just my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Coddingtons work is always rushed and shabby. I mean how many times on the show have you seen them fab up wheel spacers? What a joke he has a wheel shop next door. Hey how about making a wheel with the right offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpoSStor SS Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 no way is he building a brand new gn, it would have to be a rust bucket 1985 gnx <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sure it's a typo but GNX's were only built in 1987. I do think Boyd's show makes him look like an idiot but sometimes I find it entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
