The Buick Regal nameplate enjoyed a production run from 1973 to 2004, with a resurgence spanning 2011 to 2020. Serving as a symbol of Buick's commitment to delivering a robust and value-driven mid-size offering, the Regal witnessed the emergence of six distinct generations. Among these, the third generation stands out notably due to the introduction of the formidable Grand National variant. This particular model garnered significant attention for its remarkable capabilities, which included the ability to rival even the revered Corvettes of its time, effectively cementing its reputation both on the streets and the racetrack. For enthusiasts with a long-standing desire to own a Grand National, an exciting opportunity has emerged. Presently available for purchase is a meticulously maintained 1987 Buick Regal Grand National, boasting a mere 64,000 miles on its odometer. The current owner assures that all routine maintenance has been dutifully carried out, with recent alignment ensuring optimal performance.
While the third-generation Regal lineup may not have embraced revolutionary styling, it certainly encapsulates the distinctive flair of the Eighties era. This specific 1987 Buick Regal Grand National boasts a sleek black exterior finish and assumes the form of the hardtop variant. The prominent badges and decals denoting its Grand National pedigree remain well-preserved, as do those highlighting its turbocharged powerplant. Subtle sporty touches, like the rear deck lid spoiler and alloy wheels, add a touch of dynamism to its overall appearance. However, its unassuming exterior design conceals the true performance potential that awakens when unleashed from a standstill. The current owner's inclusion of new tires enhances the experience, allowing for an immediate exploration of this car's impressive performance capabilities. Stepping inside, a well-preserved gray interior greets passengers, displaying only minor traces of wear. The door sills attribute the car's construction to Fisher, a recognized name in the industry. The cabin offers an array of creature comforts, including climate control, although it's worth noting that the air conditioning system is not present, an aspect that could be addressed if desired. An aftermarket Alpine head unit takes center stage, equipped with features such as CD playback, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and AUX compatibility, ensuring a diverse range of musical options. Within the instrument cluster, a turbo boost gauge and a tachometer provide essential performance information, enhancing the driving experience. Lastly, the presence of Grand National embossed floor mats underscores the attention to detail and preservation of the factory aesthetics.
Upon lifting the hood of the 1987 Buick Regal Grand National, one is immediately greeted by the proud inscription "Buick Turbocharged." Indeed, this vehicle boasts a factory-installed turbocharger seamlessly integrated onto its 3.8-liter V6 engine, complete with sequential fuel injection. Impressively, power and torque figures for the year 1987 stand at 245 horsepower and 355 pound-feet respectively. Despite relying on a four-speed automatic transmission to channel this power to the rear wheels, the result is undeniably striking performance. Additionally, the current owner emphasizes that the vehicle maintains its original exhaust system, preserving its authentic and iconic attributes.
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.

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 the Sixties, everyone wanted to get in on the Personal Luxury Car mania. Buick’s contender was aptly named the Riviera, which is Italian for coastline.

Today’s 1971 Buick Riviera comes from the third generation, and has got some modern upgrades under its belt.

Buick’s Gran Sport or GS badge was applied to several of the brand’s high-performance variants of models such as the Skylark, Riviera, Wildcat, Century, Apollo, and more.

Up for sale today is a fully restored 1969 Buick Gran Sport 350 with a total 77,364 miles on the clock and only 500 miles reported since its comprehensive makeover. The car also comes with some interesting updates, making it easier and more pleasurable to drive.
