This is a mint 1987 Buick Grand National that is extremely well
taken care of and very original. This car has lots of badging on it
to let everyone know you are driving a Grand National; wheels,
fenders, dash, headrest and floor mats. The engine bay is very
clean and fun to inspect with the turbo and piping. The car drives
like a dream, once the turbo spools up it pounces forward and
throws the driver back in their seat. The automatic is perfect for
this; all you have to do is hold on! The interior is a two tone
gray and black color scheme. Everything inside is original except
for an A-pillar mounted Auto Meter boost gauge. The original Delco
radio, floor mats, gauges, and controls are all in very good
working shape.It is a very spacious and comfortable interior. The
black paint is in extremely good condition as the car has always
been garaged kept.
History;
All good things come to an end, and Buick decided to go out with a
bang for its final Grand National. In 1987, a lightweight WE4
(turbo T) option was offered. Only 1,547 of this variant were
produced. The differences between a WE4 and the Grand National were
the interior trim package, wheels, exterior badging, aluminum
bumper supports, and aluminum rear brake drums as opposed to the
Grand National's cast iron, making the WE4 a lighter and faster
car. The rear spoiler was only available as a dealer installed
option. 1987 was the only year that the LC2 turbo option was
available on any Regal, making it possible to even see a Limited
with a vinyl landau roof and a power bulge turbo hood. Turbo Regal
Limiteds were one of the rarest models of turbo Regals produced
second only to the GNX at 1,035 turbo Limiteds. Turbo Regal
Limiteds could be ordered with many options with most having chrome
external trim but for $35 could have been built with the full
black-out trim option making them extremely rare. Limiteds were
treated to a very luxurious interior with plush carpeting and
optional bench pillow seats and a column shift. The 1987 model
would be the end of the manufacture of the RWD 'G-Body' Regal, but
GM had to extend the build of the Grand National to meet customer
demand into December.
