I was at a garage sale last weekend and a lady had over 50 1/24 scale dealer promos. Mostly Chevys from the early 80's, Camaros and Vettes and some trucks. I had her down to $2 each....they were in original Ertl boxes too, but I passed on them. I see they sell pretty slow on eBay.

Any cars from the late 70's & newer are slow sellers . Everybody saved them , so they are plentiful on the market . I sold off a few of my promos from that era & only averaged $5 ea for them ... Way less than what they cost new !!

No Grand National promo was made when they were new . Only recently have there been Grand National Buicks made . Some 1/64 & 1/18 diecast , not sure about 1/24 scale ...
I collect corvette dealer promos I have about 200 of them and would sell some of them.

Robert - No Buick GN promo ever, but there were Buick issued promos in 1/24 of the 1988 Regal coupe and 1988 Reatta - both red and both easy to find and cheap.

Most older promos sell for big money, at least all the ones I've seen or had access to.
In some cases it would be cheaper to invest in mint vintage redlines that are still in their original blister.

I could be interested in some 70's and 80's firebirds and trans ams if anyone wants to part with them.

Revell/Monogram did a model kit of the Buick GN:

You can also get a 1/24 die-cast model of the GN and GNX from I believe GMP. A search on ebay will yield some results.
