Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
Black is the best color for a sinister car like this 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, although, on the face of it, the car doesn’t look that sinister. It’s got Replica 19-inch wheels in black, with grippy Nitto tires, plus tinted windows for added darkness. We’re told that the paint was corrected 3 years ago, and a ceramic coating was applied to protect it post-correction. The interior of this 1985 Buick Regal Grand National is surprisingly friendly for something that can kick you back into your seat faster than you can say Whoa. You’ve got a digital dashboard, a custom interior with new upholstery, and a new touchscreen head unit. This unit supports Apple CarPlay, comes with Bluetooth, and even allows you to upload custom screens. Then, there’s a custom sound system with subs and amps, plus a starry headliner for that added bit of wonder. A Cheetah gear shifter is present, and if you check out the trunk, you’ll find it to be as regular as possible, waiting to accept your luggage like any regular, friendly, street-oriented vehicle.
1,190 horsepower is reported at the rear wheels. That’s what the twin turbocharged 5.3L V8 under the hood of this 1985 Buick Regal Grand National can provide when called upon. Drive goes via a Turbo 200 transmission which is an automated manual – there’s no clutch but you can command shifting duties. The boost is adjustable to make this machine more tractable in town, and there’s a built rear end to ensure reliability and longevity. Furthermore, this monster in teddy bear clothing packs Wilwood brakes with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. Viking coilover suspension is present too, to ensure capable handling characteristics plus a pliant ride.

If the '60s was known for its golden era of muscle cars, then the '80s must be known for its excess. The 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo is the perfect example, with this luxury coupe grabbing the big power figures and offering performance that characterized Buick’s entry into the performance car market. Our featured car presents a rare opportunity to snag a low-mileage, one-owner example of a 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo. The current owner reports that they bought the car new in 1986. Since then, the owner reports the car has covered an original mileage of just 23,000 miles. In addition to having a numbers-matching engine and transmission, this Buick Regal features all original books and manuals, which will be included in the sale.
The Buick Regal Grand National is an institution among fans of classic muscle cars. It’s a fairly standard recipe by modern standards: take an unassuming coupe and add forced induction to the engine to create bigger power figures. But back in the ’80s, turbo-powered American cars weren’t as common as you’d imagine. The Buick Regal Grand National Turbo was one of the few to harness the power of a turbo in the chassis of a muscle car coming from a V6 motor. This 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo on sale is a unique custom creation featuring multiple upgrades under the hood, as well as cosmetic touches to finish off this unique build. In addition, the owner reports that this car has covered just 6,000 miles since the original engine was rebuilt.
With a name like Electra, this car is sure to be an interesting lady! The lady in question is Buick’s full-size offering from 1959 to 1990. Produced over six generations, the Electra was named after a Texan sculptor and socialite called Electra Waggoner Biggs. This lady was, incidentally, the sister-in-law of then-GM president Harlow H. Curtice. This lady must have been quite a charismatic person, because the Lockheed Electra airliner is also supposedly named after her! That’s why we’re sure that you’ll find this 120,000-mile 1970 Buick Electra 225 to be an interesting and characterful American classic car to own and drive. We’re told that all maintenance is up to date as well, making this car a great buy.
As the latest vehicles give you the utmost convenience and performance that you can imagine, classic cars continue to fill our hearts with nostalgia and a driving experience to remember. This 1965 Buick Special is one such example that takes you back to the ʼ60s when roads were filled with art on wheels. When it comes to vintage cars like this, it is difficult to find an example that is untouched. One of the main highlights of this Buick is that according to its current owner, it is all original. With memories worth 105,000 miles, this classic is now residing in Albany, New York. There is no doubt that this beauty will be a perfect Sunday cruiser and an attention grabber at classic car events.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
One of the most popular nameplates to come from the Bowtie brand, the Chevrolet Delray debuted for the 1950 model year, as the automaker’s flagship full-size offering. It would run for thirty years, and eight generations. The nameplate wasn’t only seen in the United States, but saw prominence in Canada and Australia too. Of course, the most desirable of the Delrays are the earlier ones, particularly those from the fifties. That makes this 1958 Chevrolet Delray 2-Door Sedan an excellent classic car to experience what American motoring from was like.
Chevy released the third-generation (or C3) Corvette in 1968, and the public lost their minds. Here was a car that was basically 80% concept, its lines lifted straight from Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II of 1965. Interestingly, the C3 Corvette was released in Hot Wheels form a few weeks before its official release by GM – in a GM-authorized move with Mattel, owners of the Hot Wheels brand. That’s why getting your hands on this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a smart move since less than 29,000 units were made that year. This car comes to you from Florida with a fully rebuilt engine and is reportedly an example with all numbers matching.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
