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.

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 350ci LS1 V8 under the hood of this 1985 Buick Regal Grand National can provide when called upon.

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.

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.
If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
