His second post makes it clear, though. "the sileighties were produced by NISSAN DEALER." That's the key...

It sounds like the Sileighty is just as much Nissan, as the Buick GNX is a Buick. The Buick GNX was only half produced by Buick... 547 normal Buick Grand Nationals were shipped to ASC/Mclaren (no, not THAT Mclaren) to be converted into the GNX (upgraded turbo, etc). They were sold through select Buick dealers as Buicks, but not built by Buick.
Another similar car would be the 300ZX SMZ. Nissan hired Steve Millen to modify a few 300zxtt's to be sold at select dealerships around the country to boost sales. I doubt you will find any seperate parts numbers for it through a dealership, but it is very much a Nissan car, sold by Nissan. I would classify the sil-80 with the SMZ and the GNX judging by what has been said so far.
