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.
While arguably the most impressive aspects of this 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo lie under the skin, there are unique subtle finishing touches that add to its cosmetic appeal. The body is finished with a satin clear bra wrap over the exterior, while the bumpers are in wrapped in high gloss, with the work carried out by PDX Wraps. The Buick sits on black custom 18-inch wheels from CCW, which are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The blacked-out theme extends to the ceramic-coated stainless steel exhaust, as well as dark sequential LED taillights supplied by Digi-tails. The dark theme continues inside, with a blacked-out interior. It features custom leather seat covers that enclose deep bucket racing seats. A touch of noise isolation has been added with the installation of sound insulation floorboards, while the interior has been upgraded with an NVU dash instrument cluster upgrade.
The 1987 Buick Regal Grand National is reported to have retained its original engine, which was rebuilt 6,000 miles ago. The 3.8-liter V6 engine was originally turbocharged, but forced induction tech has moved on since the ’80s, so this motor has seen an upgraded turbo in the form of a Garrett TA-63. Keeping everything cool is a front-mount intercooler, while the engine is fed via upgraded fuel pumps coupled with Racetronix fuel lines. For even more power, an Alkycontrol alcohol-injection kit has been installed, while there’s also a new fuel tank and the associated hardware. Electrical components are handled by a new engine bay harness and a TR-6 ignition, while new tuned injectors have also been installed. Aside from the engine, this Grand National sits on tuned Global suspension. Meanwhile, power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox that was rebuilt by Extreme Automatics. The transmission now features a 2004R Stage 2 lockup billet 9.5” stall torque converter, with transmission coolers added.

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. While the Grand National and GNX remain desirable Buick Regal models, their rarity and soaring prices make the T-Type an attractive option. Just like its siblings, the T-Type boasts similar performance figures and improved mechanicals over the standard car. 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 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.

The Buick LeSabre comes from an era where it wasn’t uncommon for sedans to have their stylish convertible offshoots. Our 1970 Buick LeSabre Convertible is exactly that, featuring the same iconic design elements that made this full-sized GM creation a household name, with the bonus of a convertible top to make this a truly special creation. By 1970, the Buick LeSabre was in its third generation and featured a 60s-inspired “Coke-Bottle” silhouette with a long hood and a flowing midsection. Out front, the car features quad headlamps and the traditional pointed grille design. Our featured car captures just about everything that makes this generation of automobiles great. And what's more, it’s been subjected to a full restoration featuring a laundry list of new parts.

When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
