Vehicle Description
1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL for sale. Motorcar Classics is pleased to
present this awesome 1987 Buick Grand National featured in Black
with Black and Grey interior. Touted when new as the fastest
American-made production car in 1987 it is great fun to drive and
it is very recognizable. The car has covered 123k miles in the
hands of three owners and spent more than half of its life in sunny
Arizona. There is a substantial history file including receipts for
maintenance over its entire life, and the most recent owner added
an Alky Control Progressive alcohol injection system. This custom
designed kit simply bolts into the car and includes a factory
overflow tank custom modified into an alky tank, and a new
overflow. This kit incorporates a full progressive control system
that adds the alky as the boost comes up. The controller is small
mounted on the dash and has a low alky light so you know when to
reload. Alky allows you to run 26 PSI boost on pump gas without
knock or detonation. Methanol injection is much cheaper than race
gas and eliminates the need to constantly replace O2 sensors that
get destroyed by leaded fuel.Features include power windows, power
door locks, power brakes, R-12 AC, cruise control. Sunblox window
tint, and Powerlock security system. The GN is clean inside and out
and has been well-maintained as evidenced by the receipts in the
history file. It was never raced or abused. The Carfax report is
clean and the car shows no signs of ever being damaged. It has the
original engine, transmission and turbo with no internal
modifications or repairs. Upgrades include Kenne Bell valve covers
and breathers, MAF pipe with 8" KN filter, 160 thermostat, aluminum
water outlet, fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, green
stripe injectors, throttle body power plate and pinion snubber.
