Interesting, but junk.

That thing's gonna have more rattles than Jon and Kate + 8.

Those cars weren't that solid to begin with; cutting the top off didn't help.

Interesting, yet fugly. Looks well executed, but saying that car has a "tight" suspension is comical.

I thought you were disappointed when you went to look at a GN last year...

I bet that car is a limp as a c4 with the top off.

That is, indeed, a very interesting clone.

It looks like it was done right, too.

Not a dime more than $6500.00

BTW, I have fond memories of my 1970 GS 455.

A C4 coupe with the top removed would be "tight" compared to that pile of crap.

I was a wee bit interested in the Buick Flex-Mobile until I saw the pic with the top up.

Anyone, who knew anything about GN and T-type Buicks, knew that you wanted the solid roof without the T-top option for rigidity.

As has been pointed out, that thing has to have the shakes bad.
