It stated that I should be alone, camera in hand, and ready to report my findings back to this magazine on my return. A black SUV with blacked out windows soon pulled up to my place. The driver told me I couldnt know exactly where we were going, but it wasnt far.

From a distance it looked like a Buick, maybe a worked over Grand National. As it drew closer I realized it was no ordinary muscle car. It was a GNX, and a really nice one to boot. But this wasnt just any example, as I was about to find out. What I was seeing was a ghost a phantom in black, so to speak.

It was the last in line, the last GNX produced by GM, the one they call No. We Have a ProblemThe story of this apparition of a GNX is an interesting one. It all started when Pittsburgh area native Ron Sklenar decided to buy a Grand National. Being in the car resale business, it was easy for Ron to hunt down and procure the tasty ride. However, through a car magazine he then learned about the all new GNX and its limited release to select Buick dealerships. Ron was enthralled with the added performance the X had to offer and tried to locate an example for sale in his area. He soon found that most of the cars had been presold through the dealerships.

Over the months, prices started to drop, and finally his patience paid off. Northside Buick in Pittsburgh was advertising its last GNX for sale. Ron immediately called the dealership and told the salesman that he would take the car sight unseen for 3. The offer was quickly accepted. Being that it was the holiday season, usually a slow time in the car business, the dealership thought it was in its best interest to make a quick buck on the supercar. Ron went to the dealer right away to pick up his gleaming trophy. The GNX just screamed badass muscle car from every direction. There was no denying that what Buick had created was the best thing to come out of Detroit in years, and it gripped Rons attention like a tightly wound up torque wrench. One thing Ron noticed about the car was the No. He knew that each GNX was numbered in order of production, and he was surprised to see that Buick had gone over its initial offering of 5.

We have a problem, the conversation started. Turns out number 5. GM would like to have it back. Now, Ron really loved that GNX and had every right to own the car. So he did what most muscle car guys would do. He said no. But they are offering you a refund of what you paid over sticker, plus a brand new Reatta to boot, the salesman stated. If you remember, the Reatta was the new sporty Buick two seater that lasted a few short years before the company pulled the plug. Once again, the answer was a polite no from Ron. Im keeping it was his final statement to the dealership. This revelation made Ron a bit anxious about the car. So from that moment on, No. Every six months or so he would take it out and drive it, if only for a few miles. And he never titled the car, so GM would really never know where the car was, or even if it still existed. It was kept on its Manufacturers Statement of Origin. It became truly a phantom.
