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.

The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.
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.
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 1937 Buick Special Series 40 Convertible represents a distinctive moment in prewar American automotive design, blending elegant Art Deco styling with the smooth, streamlined proportions that defined Buick’s entry-level luxury models of the era. While Buick was known for refinement and engineering sophistication in the 1930s, this example advances that legacy by integrating modern performance and comfort into a classic platform. Finished in Silver and fitted with a Carson-style removable top, this restomod preserves the graceful lines of the original convertible while transforming it into a high-performance cruiser that bridges prewar aesthetics and contemporary hot rod culture.
Buick’s GS or Gran Sport tag was initially applied to the automaker’s Skylark model in the Sixties, before extending to cover hot variants of the Riviera, Wildcat and Century. Choosing a GS Buick meant that you were availing yourself to some pretty impressive and giant-killing performance. Here, we’ve got a 1966 Buick Skylark GS for sale from what better place than Indianapolis! With 2,600 miles since some comprehensive work, this beast comes with a 494ci V8, a T-56 6-speed manual box, a new black interior and many more things to make this Skylark soar like an eagle.

One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible represents the height of the Fox-body 5.0 era, a time when affordable American V8 performance dominated the streets and the “5.0” badge became a cultural icon. The 1987 refresh brought updated aero styling and improved cylinder heads, helping the High Output 302 earn its legendary reputation. This example shows over 104,000 miles and comes accompanied by a Marti Report, offering documented authenticity and production details that serious collectors appreciate. Finished in Oxford White over a striking Scarlet Red interior and paired with a 5-speed manual, this convertible captures the pure, analog driving experience that defined late-1980s muscle, delivering the unmistakable look, sound, and feel that made these cars instant classics.
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
