Kinja'd!!!

So in a fit of boredom I’ve been reading up about the Buick GN/GNX. ANd a few sites say something interesting about the motor. It was developed by GM with the helping hand os someone called Mclaren Engines. When I read that I, like some of you probably are now, thought “THAT Mclaren?” I did a little searching and I learned about a company called Mclaren Engines in Michigan which seems more likely, but all I find about them is a location on Mapquest and some Yellowpages. Seems a bit sketchy. So, does anyone know what’s going on here?

You’re on the right track. American Sunroof Corp. is the parent company of Mclaren Engines and they did indeed help with the GNX.

It is unfortunately a different McLaren than the one you’re thinking of, but the GN wasn’t a one-off. The company did a turbo Grand Prix for Pontiac, as well as a Capri and a Mustang for Ford.

They were owned by a company called ASC that built OEM and aftermarket convertibles and moonroofs.

This movie legitimately pisses me off. Shows the collector mindset at its’ absolute worst.
