Vehicle Description
This 1987 Buick Grand National has everything you really want. The
black paint is extra slick, the full style is extra clean, and it
has nice factory extras like T-tops. Plus, this is extra rare. It's
a Canadian market car, and only about eight percent of these
final-year GNs were sent up north. And when you convert its
accurate odometer from kilometers to miles, you see this has barely
covered over 40k miles. So you're looking at stunning style,
distinct rarity, and seriously low mileage!
Grand Nationals were the meanest cars of their day, and so it's
awesome that the design team made sure we all feared it on the
streets. It's a full midnight package with the bumpers, grille, and
trim going over to the dark side. There were nice dark factory
additions, too, like the power dome hood and the spoiler on the
trunk. And this blackout really showed us that the well-creased
lines of the Regal were truly sporty when you rendered them
correctly. Speaking of looking correct, the black paint was given a
respray later in life to make sure there remains a nice luster to
all this darkness. It's an impressive package, but don't ever think
of this as a museum piece. A proper Grand National - even with this
low of an odometer - is meant to be driven. After all, this is the
kind of car where you're going to let the mood strike you when it's
time to slip the T-tops into the factory storage bags and go for a
wind-in-your-hair power drive.
And because the world can get such a good view inside, the interior
is looking quite nice. The correct black and gray bucket seats up
front look great, and they do a terrific job of balancing out the
Buick's comfortable image with extra bolstering for the Grand
National's added performance. As a true high-end sports coupe, this
comes loaded with all the best features. It includes power windows,
power locks, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. The sport steering wheel, tilt column, and auxiliary
readouts on the center console are all about a proper driver's
machine. This interior also has one of the coolest reasons why you
want a Canadian market car. Speedometers in the 1980s were never
fun. Manufacturers, including Buick, didn't see much point in
charting you beyond 85 mph. But when you're in km/h the factory
documents up to 140. So it's something that's cool to show off at
the car shows, and it makes doing 65 mph on the highway look/feel
like over 100!
What really makes this one so special is what's under the hood. The
3.8-liter fuel-injected V6 turbo motor turned this Buick into a
Corvette contender. And because the powerplant is so essential,
this one has received some nice investments over the last decade to
enhance the power. This includes a cold air intake, 340 ph high
volume fuel pump, 42 lb. injectors, and a scan tool that helps with
the programming tweak for the turbo and injectors. It's a powerful
coupe, and so Buick upgraded the suspension for better handling.
This one takes it further with Bilstein shocks. But while this was
built for power, it also like to be a proper grand touring machine.
That's why the four-speed automatic transmission has
highway-friendly overdrive. And there are solid anytime cruising
features like power steering, cruise control, power brakes, front
discs, and wide tires on the special GN polished wheels.
The sale comes complete with many factory components that were
replaced as well as some essential spares. This Grand National is
rare, sharp, powerful, and all-around irresistible. Call
