Vehicle Description
With the value of the turbo Buicks skyrocketing lately, a car like
this 1985 Buick Grand National that's so complete and so affordably
priced is the stealthy black machine that you know is also a
red-hot commodity.
You already know the legend. General Motors had a short run of
Buick coupes that looked mean and had the performance to back it
all up. Its Regal siblings have a great creased appearance that
instantly conveys a feeling of premium. But where they liked to use
chrome to make a statement, this one reserves the brightwork only
for the wheel trim. That sends a very different message. The
blacked-out trim, the bulging hood, and the subtle ducktail spoiler
all give this car a look that demands respect. And this example has
a great feeling of completeness, right down to the plastic aprons
surrounding the metal bumpers (an often-overlooked piece.) Even the
upgrade to the cool GNX-style lattice wheels feels right on this
blackout Buick.
The correct black and gray bucket seats up front do a terrific job
of balancing out the Buick's comfortable image with extra
bolstering for the Grand National's added performance. Plus, the
good condition of these original-style seats, door panels, and
headliner lets you know this has been treated with respect. As a
true high-end Buick, this comes loaded with all the best features.
It includes power windows, power locks, power steering, and
provisions for factory air conditioning. And the stereo has been
upgraded to a more modern AM/FM/CD stereo unit with an aux input
and Bluetooth. The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a tilt
column. It has a design to give you an excellent view of the
factory gauges that includes a cool horizontal tach on this speedy
machine.
What really makes this one so special is what's under the hood. The
3.8-liter fuel-injected V6 was given a turbocharger, and it
instantly turned this Buick into a Corvette contender. And because
the motor is so essential, we have records of significant
investments in maintenance within the last few years. Buick
upgraded the suspension for performance duty with a thick sway bar
in front and one in the rear. You also have power brakes w/discs up
front and wide Kumho performance tires. But remember, the
four-speed automatic transmission is not only there for quick
shifting action but also for overdrive comfort. So you'll get just
as much pleasure out of this one chewing up the asphalt as you will
cruising under the midnight neon.
You're looking at one of the most desirable machines from the
1980s. And you already know this price is low for these desirable
Grand Nationals. So this is a case of call us today, or you might
regret it tomorrow!
