Vehicle Description

$69,995

Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you this bone-stock, low-mileage 1987 Buick Grand National! This is one of the 20,193 legendary Grand Nationals produced in '87 and it has a mere 16,650 ACTUAL miles (per the title and the clean CarFax)! Not only is it a low-mileage car, it has had only 3 owners since new and we have copies of the titles to verify that. It is obvious when you examine this Buick that it has lived a pampered, garage-kept life. Let's take a deeper dive into this very special car...

The factory black paint is still high driver-quality with a deep glossy shine and very few minimal imperfections. Up front is a cowl hood with "3.8 SFI TURBO" badging on both sides of the cowl, dual side-by-side rectangular headlights, and a blacked out grille with a discrete "BUICK" badge at the bottom right. Moving around to the side, the stylish and iconic body lines come into full view and remind you why these cars are still so coveted today. Not only is the body black, so are the dual side mirrors, door handles, door edge guards, body side molding, mudflaps, and window trim - giving it a downright sinister look. Standing out against the black are "Grand National Intercooled" fender badges and a set of factory 15" 10-slot chrome wheels with Turbo-6 insignias on the centercaps. The wheels are all wrapped in Mastercraft Avenger GT tires that were purchased in 2023. Around back is a rear decklid spoiler, a third brake light in the rear window, another "Grand National" badge, and exhaust outlets just behind the rear tires.

Under the hood is the powerplant that set this Buick apart from all other American-built cars in '87. At the heart of the matter is a 3.8 literV-6 with multi-port fuel injection, distributorless ignition, a Garrett AiResearch turbo-charger, and an air-to-air intercooler. The V-6 is mated up to a TH200R 4-speed automatic transmission that puts power to the pavement via a 10-bolt rear axle with limited-slip differential and 3.42 gears. This combination puts out 245hp and 355 lb/ft of torque - enough to sprint 0-60 in about five seconds and run a quarter mile in 14 seconds! These impressive figures made it one of the fastest American production cars in '87, second only to it's big brother, the ultra-rare GNX. While under the hood you'll notice that this Buick is equipped with power steering, power front disc brakes, and factory A/C. The underside of the hood itself is dressed up with a "Buick Turbocharged" heat mat and a courtesy light.We have receipts that show the fuel tank, pump, and filter were all replaced in 2023.

When you open the driver's door you're greeted by a pristine stock interior done in black and grey. The door panels are a combination of fabric, vinyl, and carpet and they offer power windows, locks, and a mirror toggle. The seats are covered in like-new black and grey fabric with "Turbo 6" logos embroidered on the front headrests. The driver's seat is power operated and works as it should, while the passenger seat is manually adjustable. Splitting the front buckets is a center console with a storage box, ashtray, and shifter. Both the console and the dash feature stitched grey vinyl that adds a sophisticated touch. Ahead of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel with a working horn on a tilt column. The turn signal stalk is multi-functional - with controls for both the cruise control and intermittent wipers. The wheel frames a horizontal-sweep 85mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and illuminating light bars that indicate rpm's and boost pressure. The odometer reads an amazingly low 16,650 miles. Below the gauges to the right are a switch for the rear defogger and a toggle for the passenger side mirror. In the center of the dash above the console is a pod that contains both HVAC controls that crank out cold A/C and hot heat and the working factory Delco AM/FM/Cassette stereo. We did note when checking the stero that the power antenna is currently inoperative. Ahead of the passenger in the glovebox is a working courtesy light, a trunk release, a business card from the dealership where it was originally sold, and the original owners manual, stereo instructions, maintenance schedule, and wheel lug instructions. Overhead are a tight grey headliner and grey visors that were all replaced in 2025. Underfoot is flawless factory black carpet topped off with carpeted logo mats. Around back in the carpeted trunk are the original spare and jack, the original headliner with clips, the old visors, and the old fuel pump & filter. The car also comes with copies of all the titles and receipts for work done since 2023 (mentioned above).

If you're looking for a Grand National, this is truly an investor-quality example that's been lovingly cared for since new! These Buick GN's rise in value every year and their appeal is timeless! This is your opportunity to own one of the nicest examples on the market - bone stock, low mileage, and well-preserved with ownership history! Give us a call today, this car surely won't be here for long!
