1987 buick grand-national - 2dr coupe

Vehicle Description

Presenting the pinnacle of Buick performance, the 1987 Grand National. This great car became popular and still is due to its tremendous performance potential. This example has only had two previous owners and has been left in its original stock condition right down to the wheels. As an ‘87, it’s equipped with the most fully developed Buick Turbo V6. It boasts multiport sequential fuel injection and distributorless ignition. Tube exhaust headers and dual exhaust outlets were installed at the factory. It all adds up to a rating of 245 net horsepower, which many agree was quite a conservative rating. The TH2004R automatic was tuned for the car, and offers a low first gear for aggressive acceleration and an 0.67 overdrive fourth gear for highway driving. The rear is a sturdy 10-bolt limited slip with 3.42 gears. The Grand National earned a reputation as one of the hottest accelerating vehicles available in the U.S in the late eighties. Yet with all this performance hardware, remember it’s still a Buick. That means high levels of comfort and luxury. A specific gray and black interior is still stylish today. It’s also well-equipped by today’s standards. Everything from power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise, tilt, power driver’s seat, and rear window defogger, to a premium sound system is on board. In 1981, Buick introduced a new-design Regal. It’s not a coincidence that Buick won the Manufacturer’s Cup in NASCAR Grand National racing in 1981 and 1982 with the new aerodynamically improved design. So to celebrate, the Buick Grand National was born. It established Buick as a leader in turbocharging technology. The Grand National was the hottest thing going in the eighties, has been a favorite of hot rodders since, and is a sought-after classic today. This example, in unmodified form, has been well cared for since new. It has been treated to a repaint and some new interior pieces to keep it fresh. Maxmotive is pleased to provide this great opportunity for you to enjoy some true classic American muscle.
