For sale in our Houston showroom is this gorgeous 1984 Buick Grand
National. Built as the evolution of the Regal T-type, and unique in
its signature black paint, the Grand National has developed a
strong cult following. The Grand National was a different beast
indeed, with a sinister, blacked-out "Darth Vader" visage. The
$1,282 package bumped the Regal T-Type's sticker price up to
$13,400, and included suspension modifications, a different rear
axle ratio, and overdrive. By now, the T-Type and Grand National
turbo V-6 was putting out 200 hp. With 200 horsepower in 1984, the
GN was no slouch. The secret was under the "power bulge hood",
where a 3.1L V6 with a fairly large turbo could be found lurking.
Couple this with a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and
3.42 rear axle ratio, and Buick had a recipe for success. This
example has 80,458 original miles, but you'll be hard-pressed to
notice. The interior looks as if it was just delivered from the
dealer. A fresh coat of the signature black paint was laid on
thick, and looks deep enough to go swimming in. The aftermarket
radio will with Bluetooth connectivity provides both hands-free
phone operation, as well as additional "modern device"
connectivity. Turn the key and this baby sings right to life. Mash
the gas and watch the boost gauge climb as fast as the speedo
needle goes up. One ride and you'll understand how these cars are
held in such high regard. Relatively low mileage examples are
becoming less and less common, especially those with an untouched
engine bay. Options on this �84 Buick Grand National include: Air
Conditioning, AM/FM/CD Player with Bluetooth, Cruise Control, Power
Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Seats with lumbar
support, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Posi-Trac differential, Seat
Belts, Cloth+Leather Interior, and Rally Wheels with Radial Tires.
