STK 3467 1987 Buick Grand National

Engineers from GM's Buick Division conceived the Buick T-Type/Grand National in 1982 to commemorate Buick's success in the NASCAR. Only about 200 Buick T-Types were produced in 1982, but the public grabbed them up. Buick knew they were onto something and full-production of the T-Type/Grand National began in 1984. The 1987 Grand National (GN) was everything that Buick could design into their muscle car creation as it was to be the final year for the Buick Regal model. Many performance and chassis components were upgraded to send the Grand National out in style.

The owner of this '87 Buick Grand National has taken exemplary care of this unique classic. The Black exterior (code 19U - only GN color) was refinished in 2018 and is in outstanding condition. Dual sport mirrors and subtle visual accents front and rear truly impact the overall appearance of the coupe. BFGoodrich Radial T/A performance tires are mounted on GN chrome wheels and give the Buick a very serious look. The original interior is in very good condition. Features include comfortable grey/black cloth reclining bucket seats w/logos, air conditioning, Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo, power tinted windows, power locks, cruise and tilt wheel. There is a center console w/floor mounted shifter and full factory gauge package (plus additional AutoMeter gauges).

The Buick Grand National is a comfortable ride, but the GN is really about performance. The '87 GN was factory equipped with a turbocharged 3.8L V6 w/sequential port fuel injection. It was fitted with an intercooled Garrett TBO348 turbo that provided up to 12psi of boost and produced 245bhp and 355ft/lb of torque. The engine in this GN was completely rebuilt in 2018 and is backed by GM 200-R4 automatic transmission and positraction rear end w/3.42:1 gearing.
A custom dual exhaust system is fitted with a cutout. The undercarriage is clean and solid. Steering is power-assisted and power vented disc/drum brakes provide plenty of stopping power. Coil springs are used for front/rear and a new fuel tank has been installed. This '87 Buick Grand National may just be the Buick 'you would really rather have'. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
