Only 9,638 actual miles! 2 owner car kept in excellent original
condition. These were instant collector cars in an era when muscle
cars were all but dead. They were also low production: only 2,102,
as compared to 20,193 in 1987! This is probably one of the nicest
ones that still exist. It was special ordered new by Vernon Mehler
at Mallory Buick. We have a pile of original documenttion including
order sheet, invoice, build sheet, warranty literature, glovebox
pouch and even the owner's guide cassette tape. He new the car was
special and planned on treating it as such. He paid $450 for
paint/upholstery protection! That was a lot considering the GN
package was only $675 and the car was $13,512 total. The 2nd owner
purchased it in 2016 with 9,501 miles. He was a dealer and just put
the car away, he did not even register the car. We purchased it
from him.
EXTERIOR: You can have it in any color as long as it's black! These
also feature front and rear spoilers, blacked out trim, sport
mirrors, special wheels and a scooped hood. This car still looks
practically new, the original paint is smooth and glossy. The hood
and trunk were repainted under waranty at the dealer in 1985, we
have the invoice. All the blacked out trim is stll in excellent
shape. The grill is immaculate, glass is crystal clear, bumper rub
strips are excellent. All the weatherstrips are still soft. The
factory 15 inch aluminum wheels are excellent and still wear
original Eagle GT tires. Most of the time the tires were black,
this one was ordered with white letters.
INTERIOR: It is a good looking, sporty interior. It is still like
new and it's original! There's even plastic wrap still covering
parts of the dash trim. The carpet, upholstery and headliner still
look fresh. All the plastic trim, knobs, ashtrays,dash pad,
armrests, seatbelts still look fresh to. Now these come with a
tachometer, leather wrapped sport wheel and a shifter in the
console. This car was also ordered with a tilt wheel, power windows
and locks, fm-casette stereo, cruise control and a rear window
defroster. It is like a time capsule inside.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood you'll find the turbo charged
3.8L V6 with sequintial fuel injection. It will surprise you when
that turbo kicks in and the tires break loose! This one is
completley stock as it left the factory. Everything is in place and
proper. It is also exceptionally clean. Other factory features
include air conditioning, power steering, power brakes and cruise
control.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is all original and in like new
condition. Under the lid and jamb are gloss black. The original
stickers and weatherstrip are in place. Inside it has factory chip
gaurd paint and the carpet mat are mint. The jack and spare have
probably never been out of the car.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath is very clean and original. There is no rust,
the suspension parts are smooth black metal. The floors were
undercoated at the dealer and still look fresh. The Grand National
came with a Gran Touring suspension, swaybars and quick ratio
steering. The exhaust sytem is still original! Disc brakes in
front, drum in back and they are working properly. Looking up at
the motor it is clean. it has its original 200R-4 overdrive
automatic trans and a 8.5" rear end.
I am very impressed now that I have looked closer. I think it is
one of the best preserved Grand Nationals I have found. This is
"the" muscle car of the 80s! Values will continue to climb because
there is so much love for these cars. This is one of the best
examples there is.
A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am
offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen
are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your
questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a
walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
