For sale in our Chicago showroom is this gorgeous 1987 Buick Grand
National. Built as the evolution of the Regal T-type, and often
seen in its signature black paint, the Grand National has developed
a strong cult following. It shouldn't be a surprise, as these were
faster than the same year Corvette right off the showroom floor!
With 235 horsepower and 330ft-lbs of torque, it was certainly no
slouch. The secret was under the "power bulge hood." A 3.1L V6 with
a fairly large turbo slapped on for good measure. Couple this with
a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and 3.42 rear axle
ratio, and Buick has a recipe for success. This example has only
seen a hair under 40,000 original miles and has plenty of care
taken over the years. In the last few years, the owner wanted to
bring the car to its full former glory with a few modern touches.
The interior was gone through and cleaned up and looks as if it was
just delivered from the dealer. A fresh coat of the signature black
paint was laid on thick and looks deep enough to go swimming in.
The aftermarket radio will give you the ability to use a modern
device to hear the classics with ease. Turn the key and this baby
sings right to life. Mash the gas and watch iconic 80's digital
dash light up like a Christmas tree as the boost gauge climbs
pushing the speedometer higher and higher. One ride and you'll
understand how these cars are held in such high regard. Lower
mileage examples are becoming less and less common, especially
those with an untouched engine bay. Options on this �87 Buick Grand
National include: Air conditioning, AM/FM/CD Player, Cruise
Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Seats,
Power Sunroof, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Traction Control, Seat
Belts, Cloth Interior, and Rally Wheels with Radial Tires. For more
