Love the builds! I have two 1987 Buick Grand National T-tops, one 1987 Buick Grand National hard top! And one 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T Pearl White in San Francisco!

Great car great build, I'm a die hard V8 fan, back in the day I had a 1969 Chevelle SS 396 built motor and trans pushing about 475 Hp those were the original Muscle Cars, still like the Buicks, had one in the 70s with a Wildcat Motor, lots a fun!!!!

@dandorris8531 3 года назад

I remember working in the dealership mid to late eighties and driving these and the T-Types bad ass cars. Would spank those corvettes ass. When GM stopped production of these vehicles, they had these engines left over. They put the left over drive trains in the I believe 20th or 21st Trans Am Anniversary models. They only came in white exterior and tan interior. They were faster that’s the G-Nationals because of the uni-body car. I only saw one come through the dealership I worked at and actually did the PDI on it. Just FYI for all the people that didn’t know this.

have a 1989 turbo trans all original with 6kmiles, yes 6000 miles documented; will trade or sell for a minty GN or GNX. I am in PA. I have had many Buick turbos and looking for a change. My car comes with the original Goodyear gator back tires with OEM wheels that are like new. the car sits on a set of newer Goodyear z rated tires 17 inch Budnik wheels made in USA

I talked a friend of mine into buying one back in 87, I couldn’t afford it. He had a Porsche Carrera at the time, and couldn’t believe how friggin fast that grand national was! I believe back in 87 it was the fastest accelerating car. Wish I would’ve had some money back then, at least I got to drive his once in a while.

@markwegner6100 3 года назад

As a 17 year old looking at an '87 GNX, I was extremely pissed off to be told to kick rocks by the salesman. I wish I had money then. Saw the GN's burning up the dragstrip too. Great times!

@frankartale1026 4 месяца назад

I'm pretty sure the GNX was the fastest of the 80's. I was 16 in 88 and the GN was feared by everthing else

@emmmm1233 3 года назад

@CyberDocUSA Год назад

Hahaha! Exactly.

@albertgaspar627 10 месяцев назад

what they mean is no big chrome blower sticking out of the hood, no stripes and spoilers, no NASCAR side boom exhaust. In the 1970's, you really couldn't hide a performance car, but computers and EFI and turbos have changed that game, along with much better tires. and of course, now we know performance when we see it, not because the car has slicks sticking out of the back fenders, a massive California rake, holley blue pumps hanging out the back like fangs, and a stupid Pro Stock hood scoop with headers hanging down like dog balls between the front a arms.

@dariuslavy3913 6 дней назад

@@albertgaspar627 Front wheels , wheel studs, boosted front plate, huge intercooler, differential .... That exhaust tone is hideous imo. I think they use the word "sleeper" just to get guys like us to comment.

@mackmanson3543 Год назад

I still own my 87 GN w/52k on the clock. His build is very similar to mine but I have a precision 67 turbo and a few more goodies than this one. If you have a GN putting down 600+ to the wheels, not many newer production cars can beat them. Power to weight ratio is a huge factor! I've never lost to a Hellcat, Z06, or even the mustang Gt350. Never ran the Gt 500, YET! NICE CAR AND COOL VIDEO...

@albertgaspar627 10 месяцев назад

true, the new cars are amazing (and I can understand why "the kids don't like the old cars anymore" thing...the LS is 2 decades old, they grew up with that potential sitting in the junkyards for cheap). but with the computers and safety equipment, they're toting around a lot of curb weight, and that's felt on initial tip-in. combined with a small (relatively) displacement, and you've got something like an old DZ 302...feels great on the pull but not so much on the launch if you don't powerbrake it or have a stiff set of gears.

When I was a kid I used to love this car every time I saw it on the road. Never got close to em to hear em. Then everytime I was in a store I always begged my parents to buy me the model. I never knew it was a v6 until my late teens when a gf of mine dad had one. I was so bummed it was a v6. Her dad proved me wrong that v6 were lame. Ever since then I told myself never underestimate a v6 with turbos. This honestly would be the only v6 I’d own tho. Very bad ass looking.

When the GN came out I remember muscle car dudes HATED it. Not because of the looks or the engine but because after hours and hours and dollars to make a n/a muscle car quick here comes this stock V6 turbo spanking everyone and everything on Thursday night at the dragstrip. 🤣 Some guys saw the light but a lot didn't. There simply were no turbo cars and people frowned on em. So yeah, we all love it now but I know for a fact in this part of the country people were MAD. I remember tracks trying to ban it. Man this car broke some hearts back in the day. Big time.

Knew a guy who bought a brand new GN off the showroom floor. It was such a bitchin car. The car had about 200 miles on it when he let his cousin drive it and he raced a Vette, lost control and wrapped the passenger side around a pole. He was OK but the car was gone. Real shame. See GN clones occasionally but it's not the same. Great car. Love the Buicks. Stay safe and stay well.

Mine too. Ever heard of Sk kustoms? Look them up on Facebook. Shawn is an expert on the Sy/ty stuff what we probably are gonna have to do to make them more dependable is convert them to holley efi. It gets rid of the old computer and wiring harness which seems to be the issue with these vehicles. The 4.3 is a 350 missing two cylinders so its a great motor. These cars have been known to eat electrical systems.
