One of this blogger's all-time favorites: A beautiful black Buick.

One of my all-time favorite cars period. The 1987 Buick GNX. Modifications by McLaren Performance Technologies/ASC include a 6-cylinder turbo with larger inter-cooler and heat shrouding, and a GNX-only torque-arm which would cause the rear-end to lift under heavy acceleration. This car took on (and still holds) a myth-like status with me, with Buick at the time claiming it as the fastest accelerating production car. Horsepower was claimed at 276, but was actually well over 300. Kenny Bernstein, for some car magazine, took a GNX and a Corvette ZR-1 out for a drag and the GNX came out on top. This GNX that was at Barrett-Jackson was owned by famed car-collector Reggie Jackson and was bought to replace one he lost in a fire that destroyed a large part of his collection. With just over 5000 miles on the odo, the car sold for $66,000. Only 500 of these were made, so if you see one, it's like seeing the black Pegasus in the Clash of the Titans remake and probably harder to get to ride (drive) one. This was number 12 of the lot. The GNX #001 is the 1986 prototype and is owned by Buick and makes appearances at car shows, according to good ol' wikipedia. Caps are from Speed's Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction in January 2011 and the last three are from good ol' google.
