Our Take:
- Turbocharged Legend: The 1987 Buick Regal Grand National is famous for its turbocharged 3.8L V6 engine. At the time, it was among the fastest American cars, even giving some European sports cars a run for their money. This was during an era where muscle car performance was largely sidelined due to emissions regulations, making this car a shining star of its time.
- Black Beauty: Known for its sleek, all-black exterior, the Grand National stood out in the crowd. Its sinister look contributed to its reputation as a "Darth Vader" among muscle cars—a car you wouldn't want to meet at a streetlight if you were in something much slower.
- Mileage and Modifications: With just over 40,000 miles, this particular model's mileage is relatively low, considering its age. Recent tune-ups and part replacements, like the aluminum radiator and upgraded master cylinder, indicate careful maintenance. Yet, it keeps some classic quirks, like that passenger window motor, which is part of its charm.
- Cult Classic Collectible: The Grand National has garnered a significant following and is a darling among collectors. Its mystique and rarity—a product of limited production numbers and its unique role in automotive history—make it a sought-after model for enthusiasts, especially those who savor a bit of '80s nostalgia with their horsepower.
