there's a difference...

Man I am rarely if ever a fan of classic cars...but the GNX is just proportioned so well and that grill is ridiculous. Can't be any other colour but black though.

looks just like the '87 Monte Carlo

my 1st whip haha

my boy had one. '87, white with orange stripes. We used to call it "Big White".

He lived on the East side of Detroit near Harper and Chalmers. He woke up one morning and his shit was gone. When they found it, it could only be identified by the VIN number on what was left of the dash. It was stripped completely... They even took the glass.

The reason they look alike is because they're based on the same platform, the GM G platform. The Regal, Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Cutlass Supreme, and El Camino of the 80's were all G cars and shared the same basic look. Where there was a real difference between them was the front end and the rear of each car, but the Grand Prix and Monte Carlo got a bit extra with their slightly swollen rear fenders.

These are also some of the last GM cars that had engines designed by their respective nameplates. After these, GM resorted to "corporate" engines for the majority of their cars.
 
yeah they're all on the same platform. my favorite G-Body's the Grand Prix though ... you just never see them bitches like that.

but after that the Grand National/Regal got it.
