Buick Grand National

THIS VEH. WAS THE FASTEST PRODUCTION V6 TURBO CHARGED VEH. IN THE LATE 80s IF I HAD THE TIME AND THE MONEY I WOULD KEEP HER ND FIX HER UP!!!!!!!!!! HOPE YOU HAVE AS MUCH FUN WITH THIS ONE AS I HAD OVER CONVERCATION. NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO DRIVE HER BUT I COULD JUST DREAM. THE PEOPLE THAT JUST LET HER GO THEY SHOULD BE SHOT!!!!!!! BUT THEN AGEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET PEOPLE THAT LIKE HER AS MUCH AS I DO

The 1987 Buick GNs had stronger parts than the other Regals. I got 117,000 miles out of my first one and I had to junk it only because the frame cracked from abuse and it rusted out with the Wisconsin salt that was put on the roads after 14 years. I had to put in a few batteries, two sets of tires, and one fuel injector plus service items like brakes, filters, mufflers and tail pipes, and fluids. I had one emission part under warranty fail. Everything was in good condition when I sold it after it was in an accident. The a/c, transmission, engine, turbocharger, starter, radio, etc. were all factory originals. The little things like power locks, windows, radio, heater, etc. all were in good condition when I sold it in 2001. The seat springs were getting a little weak but that is standard in older GM cars. This is common results for other owners I have met. NO ONE has EVER told me they regret their purchase, only that they sold it too soon.

It really had about 285 horsepower. I got over 27 mpg in one test at 72 mph in my first test in 1989 and over 32 mpg at 62 mph. The engine was made to tight tolerances as it did not get great gas mileage until it had 16,500 miles on it. If I had not hit a tree or ran it on salty roads, I would have still have it.

The BLING factor is amaxing. I have never had someone it was a gus guzzler or one bad word about the car in 14 years. I will continue my love affair with this purchase because the car is exactly the same as the one I bought in 1987.
