Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album GNX has made waves not just in the music world, but in the automotive scene as well. Named after the iconic Buick GNX, Lamar’s album has propelled the classic muscle car into the limelight.
Not only does the album feature the Buick GNX on its cover, but Lamar also posted photos with his personal GNX, sharing his admiration for the car with his fans.
The result? A 230% increase in global eBay searches for “GNX” during the week of the album’s release, with diecast and toy Regal GNX items seeing a 90% spike in sales.
This surge in attention is fueling a newfound appreciation for the 1987 Buick Regal Grand National and its limited-edition GNX variant.
The Buick GNX, known for its turbocharged V6 engine and McLaren-tuned performance, is a collector’s gem.
With only 547 models produced, the GNX has long been sought after, often fetching prices well over $100,000, with some rare examples surpassing $300,000.
As Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album continues to capture the public’s imagination, the price of these coveted cars is likely to rise even further, cementing the Buick GNX as a cultural icon once again.
