When it comes to the best muscle cars of the 1980s, few cars can
compare to a car like this 1987 Buick Grand National. Designed as a
high-performance variant of the Buick Regal, this two-owner
turbocharged terror has just 98,271 actual miles on its odometer.
With its all-black exterior, distinctive rear spoiler, and sculpted
hood, this 1987 model represents the final year for this iconic
modern muscle car.
Inside this well-preserved Buick G-Body, we find a medium dark grey
crushed velour interior that, while far from lavish, provides a
surprising amount of comfort thanks to its plush bucket seats and
soft-padded door panels. A simple three-spoke, power-assisted
steering wheel sits ahead of what feels like a very underestimating
85 mph speedometer. Power seats, locks, and windows, along with air
conditioning and a tilt wheel provide enough amenities to be
comfortable enough to enjoy the rumble of the exhaust even on the
longest road trips.
Under the hood sits an incredibly powerful 3.8-liter turbocharged
V-6 engine. With its stout iron block and heads, sequential fuel
injection, and single Garrett T3 turbocharger, from the factory,
the Grand National's engine was severely underrated at 245
horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque. That power was then
funneled through a TH200-4R four-speed automatic transmission
before heading out to the 3.42-geared rear end, providing plenty of
punch off the line without sacrificing too much highway
civility.
