dont you hate when people "restore" grand nationals. and "pimp"them out to look like gangsta wannabe cars? This is the way to go...the ONLY way!! Very sweet job on this GN. from one owner to another, Im proud of ya! well your family that is, or whoever owns it.
Imagine driving one of these to a buick dealer today and the salesman tells you wouldn't you rather have a new Buick I would be like you fucking nuts this Buick could smoke those piece of shit newer Buicks and you know it
Great Job! reminds me of my 86 GN. we actually found it in a barn and the owner had his dogs sleeping in it. I'm a long way from being show quality but it'll get there eventually. Mostly just some interior work and it needs re-painting again. Thanks for posting your adventure!
damn man nice gn ...my dad is selling on e if you want another project ..lol...but hes got another one which he is keepin that runs 10s in a 1/4....its in the process of geting a new paintjob ...what all is done you ur gn ???
Good Job!!!..........Love them Turbo Regal's. I've owned an 86 GN for 12 years then bought an 87 which I've owned for 6 years now................once again good job on the Resto. :-)
Gotta tell ya, i had an '83 Buick Regal with t-tops, painted it black, re-did the whole interior, put a turbo hood on it, took off all the emblems... but left the chrome..... those are truly beautiful cars.... even the 231 non turbo was quite a go getter.... i outran lots of cars in it, of course it was on the distance, not the take off.... you just made me want to go get another one... or an actual GN and fix it up.... damn, i'm missing my car now... anyway, good job, and Great Looking GN!
@madundy they quit making GN's in 87,the only year for the GNX was in 87,they made 547 of em,very rare car to find,even harder to find one with a guy willing to sell ha
TONYSTARK your right only the gnxs came with the fender vents factory, this one must have had aftermarket ones installed. CFROBERTS, your what we call an idiot, you cant make these v6s from non turbo to turbo, if you do good luck on it not blowing up, it needs to be a '109' block otherwise it cant handle the higher pressure of the turbo. METALFAB16, another idiot, its a buick regal grand national, KOVACS88 is another idiot, 77 tas are no big deal. Alumness, great car man, i got an 87 ttype :)
same platform, different motor. most monte's have a 305(5.0L) or a 350(5.7L) while these little buicks have a twin turbo charged 3.8L V6. i just bought one for $300 needs a nose cone and it was a non-turbo version. but not for long.
NICE job!! I recently had my 87 restored, not for the faint of heart for sure. The end result is worth it!!! Your GN came out NICE!! What's she run btw??
plz take that fram filter off an get a wix

this is what a buick is suppose to look like not like a box with a 4 cyl you need power and style in a car and the grand national is the right car

My GN is mistaken for a Monte Carlo quite of. SS were nice body style 87 & 88, but in terms of power an SS couldn't carry a GN's jock strap!
