1987 Buick Grand National [4k] Pushing Boost!

This is Darth Vaders Car! This 1987 Buick Grand National is in excellent condition. Sporting its original paint, she has aged very well. Mechanically she is in tip-top shape. We have driven her quite a bit since purchase, and are very pleased. Ice cold air, even braking and lightning quick turbo spooling acceleration. You should watch the video!

Please don't delete this video when it's sold. This is honestly a dream vehicle to me.

[@tylercouture216]

CaptainPancakes you ain't lying

[@jebediahgentry7029]

Same here!

[@thought1212]

me too

[@ChiefStones]

I loved mine when I had it.

[@gravitationaleddie5611]

I agree. there ought to be a Wikipedia link to this video.

[@SloaneLasers]

It's beautiful. I owned seven Olds Cutlass's from '72 to '87. I've always loved these. Great presentation.

[@toddwoods582]

I was 16 years old and in love with this car in 87. It was an instant legend . Thanks for the video.

[@markweiss7715]

My first real sports car. Graduated college in April 1988, bought this car before going to flight school (army). Loved this car, got some crazy speeding tickets too! (Back when speed limits were 55, how stupid). Sold the car before heading off overseas to fight in the first gulf war. Wanted one everyday since I sold it back in summer of ‘90. Now retired and blessed financially, I am looking for another GN. BTW, love the modifications…looking to do similar once I get my own.

[@donaldbeard3399]

I have a low mileage 1986 T-type. What awesome cars they were!! Every time I drive it, I can't wipe the smile off my face for days.

[@kevinharrissr5255]

Back in the eighties this was easily the baddest vehicle in the land. It was destroying general motors Halo car, the Corvette. Which is probably one of the reasons GM decided to kill it off. It's was the hellcat of the eighties easily.

[@drgonzo767]

It could not out-handle and out-brake the Vette, but it sure beat them on the strip. C4 Corvettes with the handling package were world-class track cars. But they were never as cool as the GN until the ZR-1 came out.

[@philllsxga.7737]

Kevin Harris Sr that why the ZR1 came about.

[@jjs777fzr]

Destroying the Corvette? Heck it destroyed the Ferrari in ‘87. A Buick beat Ferrari. LOL. It was tested at 4.9 seconds 0-60mph. In cool New England October weather these were fierce.

[@philllsxga.7737]

jjs777fzr GNs are bad ass period!! A 86 and 87 that fast with that technology?!! And fast forward to all the LS swaps?! And people still dog on GM...

[@iamOAKland]

CC Ryder KnightRider car?

[@stevennewton7317]

Nice car. The real MVP is your cinematographer, that intro pulled me right in.

[@MadmanLink]

Back in the 90's I had a couple of buddies that had Grand Nationals and this video brings back so many memories!

[@Sooflojoe]

That door jam though @ 3:50.

[@mlaugh3]

who in the hell could thumbls down this car??? This is one of my dream cars. I have driven several and love them. They are fast and look mean. What a fast neat car.

[@jtp2003]

I bought an 87 GN in 1998 with only 9,500 miles for 9k drove it for 2 years and sold it for 18k. I should have never sold that car.

[@ethanvillarreal5766]

Everyone I've met who owned a GN always say they regret selling it :/ I'm just like how can someone even think about selling it

[@gsaleen5644]

@@ethanvillarreal5766 I had a 85' GN I bought after graduating college with hope to fully restore it. However, things change and life happens my friend. I do plan to get another some day along with a 89'foxbody I had during school.

[@jordantaylor789]

Ha! Dumbie

[@Dooguy]

Yep....owned 4. Sold em all. Made thousands on everyone of them.

[@kurtriedmuller8223]

I had an 86 with 62k on it and super clean with a new bowler 200r4 trans sold it on ebay for 9k always regretting it every time I see one so now looking for one to buy

[@georgepiattoni6003]

Brings back some great memories. GN's on the lot were out of my price range in January 87' - so I placed an order for a low option WE4 Turbo Buick including radio delete, manual windows and lock, solid roof, limited slip, and crossed my fingers - took delivery in June '87. Loved that car.

[@cesarflores8450]

I dont know you Sir, but man do I hate you major leauge right now. At 15 my freinds and I walked 4 miles just to see one new Buick GN at the local Buick dealer in 87. 102 degrees in the Houston summer and were looking in the car so a salesman was cool enough to open the doors and hood. From the 4 of us I was the only one that knew the cars full potential as I always read Road n Track magazine. Johny says "this car aint shit "/ I wanted to choke him lol. He didnt know any better. To this day I can remember the smell of the interior the whine of the turbo. We werent there to buy but dreaming is free. If ever there was a sleeper.......

[@davy1972]

My parents had an 81 Grand Prix and Monte Carlo. Everyone had a Cutlass Supreme. Then this came out. So much about this car is special. Exterior and interior. It might just be my all-time favorite car.

[@EDHBlvd]

An American legend. 🇺🇸🙌👌

[@marklaechel4537]

Wow. Can hardly keep ahold of it at launch with the wheel breaking loose. Man, thats fast. Especially for 1987

[@sstevocamaro]

You gottta love when that boost kicks in..

[@scotts6596]

There were 2 of these in my neighborhood back in the day. You didn't want to pull up to one at the light . Cause you were probably going to lose badly. They ran 12s easily with a few mods and a chip , when everyone else was running mid 13s and up.

[@brianlarose6110]

I have pretty much the same car, 87 hard top with power windows and driver seat, Concert Sound, posi. Great video, hit a lot of good talking points regarding these cars and what to look for.

[@Hell-yeah420.69]

My pops owned one of these back in the day, what a ride

[@jeffcharlton9660]

Been in love with this car since it came out in '84. Of course, I want an 86 or 87.

[@Turbogto_guy]

Man it rides so good. I literally felt zero vibrations or anything.

[@charlieb308]

Outstanding presentation

[@joshbrobud8358]

CUT THE MUSIC! We want to hear the car....

[@revolutionday1]

Damn straight.

[@325xitgrocgetter]

The car is the music.....listen to the music of my people.

[@KMC42267]

I know rite

[@SirSquash]

You must understand this music is made of pure 1980s turbo and is absolutely the most appropriate for this video. Own a 1980s turbo car and you will understand. When we speak of grid life, we mean the neon grid.

[@michaelangelo8001]

These things sound horrible... exactly like a Corvair.

[@grngs1]

Now THAT was impressive! THAT was a test drive!!! Awesome job bud!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mlaugh3]

I love it!! My favorite muscle car.

[@steadyarm]

I owned a 87 in 87, loved the feel of it.

[@scottsmith6571]

They have a very distinctive sound I can hear one a mile away

[@bretthendy]

I’ve got an 87 GN with 20 thousand on her. Almost all stock. They’re so perfect

[@CrazyFunnyCats]

Brett Henderson 3500 k on our buddies 87..600hp.

[@husainisyed7792]

Beautiful!!!

[@dandante4241]

I agree dont delete this video....so little videos of this great car ....truly a monster in sheep's clothing.....a modern car thats still remembered.. ..nuff said

[@DrBIeed]

I really like the air intake below the driver side headlight. That’s something that’s been difficult over the years with dads is that the scoop is in the center under the front bumped so it has a tendency to scrape pulling in and out of driveways and such.

[@camaro69green31]

Great vid. Well done..... GN's are sick.

[@JKind0187]

I truly wish I can own 1 of those. 1 of my dream cars to own.

[@flyonbyya]

I had one with a bigger turbo, intercooler, down pipe, etc etc Set at 23 psi boost....was stupid fast !!!

[@victorsandoval3690]

And that's why I have one.

[@EaglesWind1]

There's a good documentary about these cars called Black Air. It's on youtube in HD for free. I love the sound

[@camarogtz1392]

Omg beautiful my favorite muscle car

[@brokenarrow8251]

Sweet!

[@richki.24]

1 of my Fav car of all time ...

[@justinschippers5444]

One of my dream cars

[@gregarioussolitudinist5695]

All I can hear is that stupid music.

[@marcco954]

When it comes to car vids, it's usually better without the music

[@wythetrumpet6419]

Thank you for pointing out my error. I meant to say a 4.8 0 to 60 mph time. The Grand National was a great machine!

[@scottsmith6571]

Nice car with nice 90’s kB upgrades

[@anchorbrand]

Great video

[@michealcassell8487]

I had that Kenne Bell ram air kit on my T-Type - worked great

[@sew04ss]

Micheal Cassell alpt of people didn't/dont like them

[@sivart54]

My father had one. I wish we still had it.

[@RO5CO3dude]

My dream car. Could’ve been a GNX but can’t complain. The sound of the turbo is so satisfying and not overwhelming and douche-y. Keep this car forever! Or until I hit the lotto and buy it from you lol

[@airborne_12v]

Me too always wanted one as a kid in high school my nieghbour had a 1988 Monte Carlo as so nice black on grey

[@mael-strom9707]

He didn't wanna scare the Jaguar with Darth Vader... here kitty, kitty. 😂🤣😋

[@ttrr5593]

Awesome....great tutorial,,,, thx

[@torres3800]

Oh man what a car 😍😍...

[@nyc77brooklynsicilian6]

My brother had an 87 GNX that he just recently sold with close to 48k on it & I still have my 87 Callaway corvette Twin Turbo. It’s close to having 32k original Miles on it. We both had a lot of work done to both cars and never planned on selling them. But he just decided to sell it out of nowhere... I have No plans on selling my Callaway. It has to much time and money into it. It Never has seen rain or bad weather, garage stored & all work was done threw the callaway factory. Great video & seeing that car brought me back to when my brother and I were just kids.

[@scotchbudmeister9018]

I bought that Kenne Bell ram air kit with the under bumper scoop and air cleaner housing for my T. It fit well and worked well.

[@Muthafukpockets1317]

Its... its so beautiful

[@turbo6598]

Love my gn nothing but👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 when I drive!!!!!!

[@BlacKnightRising]

well, there's one problem with these cars....sometimes it takes me an hour or so to get back home from the gas station with all the people asking me questions about her so...other than that, awesome ride!

[@marvin5689]

Sweet!!!! I had an 86 National

[@scottsmith6571]

Love the old school kb fp hood gauge

[@buickmonte]

Man i always cringe when a GN's door is opened because those thin door handle hinges crack/break so easy,lol!! Awesome car and video!!

[@hiviz1763]

Damn Nice GN!!

[@isaacguerra4040]

That music should be considered torture.

[@willfredoguevarez4502]

Beautiful ride period

[@eduardodavila5980]

She's a beauty

[@KMC42267]

Wish I could buy one of these for my boyfriend. Sweet car. Mannnn

[@dianecortis2047]

I had a 1985 Buick T-Type , 1986 Grand National, now I have a 1987 GNX.

[@arcocola8183]

Once wanted a fox body. Gotta have this now

[@madchad77]

Bought one in 1995 it had 16k miles. I sold it three years later with 42k miles, and i have regret it every day since. I will buy another one.

[@johnny5815]

Beautiful cars...

[@BigAlWillis]

nice car. we raced many when I was a kid, yes they were fast.

[@kennydemartini2169]

I've painted a couple of Grand Nationals now, and the gaps and panel alignments on that car are amazing! I've never seen one look that good after 30 years... I like how you mention the bumper fillers. Good ones are hard to find, and very expensive.

[@jeffk3037]

Kenny DeMartini I've been looking at getting mine painted its checking pretty bad on the deck lid and around the quarter glass. What do you think is a reasonable price to paint one?

[@sew04ss]

Jeff k have you looked at spoolfool bumper fillers

[@jeffk3037]

Mr SS I have not, I've heard they are really good. My fillers are perfect.

[@sew04ss]

Jeff k oh wow that's a good thing

[@jeffk3037]

Mr SS I ran across vid on Here, and they did a bumper filler install, didnt look to difficult

[@S.0.G]

My favorite muscle car is a 6cyl beast... 💯

[@themarine7735]

I wish I had one, they we're also known as "Corvette Killers" !

[@kennethwishop4653]

nice ride

[@sheperdjohnson1185]

I love that car! Still wouldn't trade it for my 96 impala ss!!😁 maybe not those grand nationals are bad ass!!

[@NicsElectronics]

That strap is hilarious, in a scary badass sort of way :-)

[@loualiberti4781]

Sick

[@skeeter197140]

God I've always wanted one of these...

[@BlacKnightRising]

seriously? 10 moronic haters thumbs down this car? THIS CAR?! a legend as it rolled off the assembly lines??!! ah! prius drivers of course!

[@iamOAKland]

SRT8Driver because they like rice rockets

[@joemcmahon8103]

Those are all Mustang & Vette owners

[@Davido50]

Foreign cars suck!!!

[@vikingsoftpaw]

Haters must be Mopar boys.

[@bobforpples]

Maybe thumbs down for music.

[@zaidamartinez3264]

Ese detalle de pegar en el cofre el tacómetro me gustó, entiendo que es para no dañar y tener intacto el tablero. les aplaudo por eso, es una máquina increíble!!!

[@Sandhill1988]

I'm 3 years late finding this video but I want that car.

[@King_Maxx7]

Perfect 1987 Grandnational to think I had one in the early 2000 and sold it for 6k

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

We drove around with a open turbo all the time back then.

[@FoFrx]

I want this car so bad..my dream since I was in H.S.

[@g.j.koster1986]

Beauty

[@wythetrumpet6419]

Makes me want to cry, because I owned a 1987 Grand National and traded it in 1992! I wish I would have kept it. It was a running machine and it made way more horsepower than what it was rated. I believe Motor Trend tested another car like mine and it ran a 4.8 quarter mile! If you really got into the boost it would smoke the tires and chirp them when it shifted into second. I wish GM would bring back that 3.8 turbo motor! Thanks for a great post!

[@markbrinton6790]

A 4.8 quarter mile? You need to edit your statement.

[@honestyquality3565]

I graduated in 89. My biggest regret was not buying one and storing it

[@johnnywishbone8985]

Nice

[@sandystedman8638]

I worked at a dealership in 86-87 my job was to check the cars in off of the carriers when we got a few turbo’s in I would take them out for a spin they would set you back in your seat

[@spaztastic1428]

Steering wheel should have the Grand National logo on horn button. Still a beautiful car.

[@DrBIeed]

I remember when dad got his back in 87. I don’t remember a lot of people actually understanding what it was at the time. Everyone had been programmed to believe the Vette was the be all end all when it came to American cars. It wasn’t until it started showing up in video games like Gran Turismo that it started getting main stream attention.

[@charlieb308]

Such a cooler dealership

[@chrisfuller3151]

Couldn't ask for a better car. Easy to get a hold of. Pretty cheap as long as you know were to look. Fast as is but easy to swap a v8 into. Perfect first car.

[@mjdaidola1]

one day i’ll get one

[@damianlugocantu9623]

Way better than dodged charged challenger camaros and mustang!!

[@christopherebbs7714]

We used to call the grand national the Corvette killer

[@juanchavez4007]

Que bonito carro señores 👏👏👏👏👏

[@alejoer22]

I wish I could have one of theese someday

[@robertogarcia35]

nice car

[@sandroescribanocruz5108]

Ooooohhhh I'm telling that's ravens road near griffin.. and the train tracks.. lol

[@rickvieira8754]

Love your car man. I'm looking for a 1986

[@BulletmotorsportsInc]

Rick vieira we have one in stock it will be up next week! 43k original miles!
