Today those side louvers are worth about as much as a used Conquest.
I bought a stock '89 Conquest 6 months ago (collateral damage from surfing Ebay late at night). While you NEVER see them on the road, they aren't too tough to find for sale, and there's good online support at Starquestclub.com.

It appears that there is some confusion as to this QOTD.

Still lamenting selling mine 10 years ago for $3000
They are hard to find, but since there's no collector market, you can pick one up pretty cheap. Good luck
Nice choice, but the QOTD implies that the car at one time must have been common. GNX's were collector cars right off the showroom floor. GN's are still pretty common on dragstrips

It was right behind the big-engined M-B S Class
I dunno- many are still on the road today
