[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

My favorite car guy with my favorite car!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man I loved that car when it first came out! I couldn’t afford it back then! But I bought two monogram 1/24 scale models of that car, and I still have them on my shelf today!👌😂👍 that car was even faster than a stock corvette back then! Amazing! Now a valuable collectible. Great video Steve!👌😎👍continue getting better!

[@RADGarage]

I’ve been missing you Steve! Great to see you doing what you were meant to do!

[@savedin87ify]

Good seeing you up and moving Steve! Still praying for you

[@brucefoster8084]

It's great to see you working again Steve. Moving and sounding better every day.

[@bradwilliams4921]

Great review of a very cool car that I lusted over when I was 14. The 80s were great years.

[@thehumungus3215]

Great to see you back Steve hope your doing well 👍🏻

[@chriss5949]

Great to see you back doing videos Steve. If I ever hit the lottery their phone will be ringing. 😊

[@unknownsoldier5141]

Great video Steve... hope you feeling better... stay strong brother

[@larryharry7221]

Thanks Steve. The GN is one of my favorites. I had a couple of the W body FWD GS Regals with the L67 supercharged 3800.

[@-ZIO]

Heeeeeees BACK!! And doing what he does best. God Bless Steve, good to see you up and about 😀

[@vernonschrock1539]

Welcome back Steve..really appreciate you and your knowledge

[@IndridCool54]

Great to see you Steve! Cool car! 👍🏼

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO STEVE, AND A GREAT EDUCATION. I LEARNED A LOT.

[@JD-hh9io]

Maybe Steve can do a video of that oval window some time? It is realy good see him again, that is for sure!

[@tomberaro2900]

Great to see you back at it..looks like you never missed a beat.

[@jim9664]

Cool. We have been waiting and hopeful you would be back. Fantastic to see you Steve.

[@nealpizza7531]

So much great info. Thank You Steve.!!!!

[@marcstlaurent3719]

Very nice to see you back Steve . You said only two door hard top but my friends 87 GN is in my garage with T tops .

[@DeanCanino]

Great job Steve !!!!!!

[@charlesdalton985]

I too recall these new. I remember an article that pitted one of these against a 454 Chevelle. Half track - it was all GN, then the cubic inches started to take over. Regardless, those wheels look perfect on this car, and the few mods are worth the investment. Thank you Mr Magnante and High Octane Classics ~ Chuck

[@jdgreen214]

The temperature matters too. On a hot day they're dogs. Turbo cars hate heat. On a 50 to 40 degree day it's a monster.

[@rjs2005]

My bride and I test drove a '87 Buick GN back in '89. She was a bit wary of it due to it's sinister appearance, but she liked the interior quite a bit. All was fine, until I failed to resist the urge to step on it- after she was able to pull her head off the headrest, she looked at me and said "take this back to the lot- we ARE NOT getting this car." Yep, I blew it. Oh well, no telling how many tickets I might have ended up with! Steve, you look better each video- can't wait to see you on your own channel, crawling through the junkyard again!

[@joecurran340]

Steve, you’re looking great! So glad to see you doing much better

[@richardciavarella330]

love you steve keep it up god bless you.

[@commandertopgun]

I have always been crazy about these amazing Buick Grand Nationalmusclecars. It's on my bucket list as I can afford them now. I love these incredible Informative & entertaining video reviews, thank you as you always do a phenomenal job

[@peterfinley8028]

My favorite

[@wastingmymoneyonmotorcycles]

I love this car always have. Steve is looking great, what a come back.!

[@farber442]

Glad to see ya still at it Steve!!

[@ricksaint2000]

Thank you Steve

[@thejunky17]

Tell em Kendrick did it!

[@toddsdaler]

Looking great Steve! I had a crazy fast sleeper grey 87 Limited Turbo-T with grey leather interior and turbine wheels. I’m sorry I sold that car as it’s was my favorite!

[@jkmsaturn]

Buick understates its’ power & output like Steve downplays his encyclopedic knowledge of all things automotive. Two absolute legends.

[@jerrywagner4690]

Oh body...had more than a few people underestimate this engine... and have rode and owned a lot.

[@waynebrumley2315]

good job as always. Hope your feeling better, I had a Grand National loved it !

[@lonniecrisp8768]

Great to see you up and going. God bless

[@Dougprince72]

Glad to see you up a Around Steve

[@cjdesign5700]

Getting healthy Steve...Looking strong.

[@jamesmisener3006]

Perfect bounty hunter car. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@timothysharp2660]

I had an 87 T Type for over 20 years. What a great car it was. I miss that car.........................

[@briancarrier1451]

Well done sir, looking Great

[@andyb9072]

Glad your back can't wait till you're back on roadkill

[@stevethomas760]

Worked for a beer distributor in Atlanta in '96. The owner had a GNX for a daily driver. He sent a couple mechanics to NC(?) to pick up a low miles (less than 100mi) GNX to put in his car collection. Steve, looking good!

[@jeffchecchio5026]

Looking good Steve 😊

[@DougE-ei4xs]

To give some real world perspective, I purchased a bone stock GN in April '89, with 18k miles and it ran a best of 14.1 in the quarter mile. Granted it was having traction issues with it's half worn original Eagle GT's, and I was a 22 year old idiot trying to learn how to race. Im sure good tires and a good driver could have done better. The good news is I still own it and it still looks and runs great with only 37 k miles today.

[@johnnydodge]

1987 Was called a Turbo T. I have a white one with blue interior. It's a Canadian export one. It has a KM speedometer in it

[@jdxjackson]

This is my dream car 😩

[@doncnunez6231]

I am original owner of a 28K miles 1987 Grand National bought as a dealer leftover November 3rd 1987, the dealer had 2 black T types, 1 White T Type and i bought the Grand National. The only reason i bought it was March of 1987 i bought a Blk/blk IROC and by Oct 1987 it was T-boned and totalled by some women who drove thru a stop sign,with 5200 miles. Some engine bolt ons, stainless exhaust, cool can, intercooler from *89 turbo trans am, one respray in 2015, Not afraid to run against Dodges and Mustangs at the stop lights!!

[@chuckrf1502]

Love those t type regals

[@jkaps1173]

Steve, take it for a spin!

[@redhorsegarage]

Steve is back!!!!

[@scottmalone2332]

I never knew that the HP was actually that high. Wow. They were one of the best looking muscle cars.

[@nepps617]

This has been my dream car since childhood closest I’ll ever get to owning one is the Jada toys fast and furious die cast model I have

[@georgemain889]

I remember going to New England dragway on street nights in the late 80s early 90s and there would always be a dozen or so of these cars there. Some would run in the 10s. It was cool to watch them humiliate the 5.0 mustang guys.

[@tomcampbell4414]

Daaaang I want that car! And dang Steve is lookin good?

[@physicsphirst191]

Walking a lot better! Talking? World class!

[@ronaldlebowitz7409]

i think a 70 gs 455 skylark stage 1 is my fav. Buick!

[@watzonda2b]

Steve, Thanks for sharing this one....the Quintessential 80's Muscle Car. Can you share some info on the Beetle in the back ground?

[@kc0lif]

nice buick.

[@davidp2888]

Looks like you're doing well, Steve.

[@Dooguy]

Ive owned 4 of these.....should of kept my last one. Great car. My 87 had the v6 turbo insignia in the center of the steering wheel, not the buick symbol

[@RDEnduro]

Ive seen these at the strip, stock and modified. You usually cant tell which until it actually goes. But the last stock one i saw run was going low 13s high 12s iirc. You know they put that same engine in a special model Trans Am!

[@MikeTheSlacker]

People were reselling these at a premium before they took delivery. They were just insanely hot.

[@paulzammataro7185]

Right On!

[@tashfiqulislam3754]

Kendrick lamar car 😃

[@rjcolombe]

The Grand National was the only car that GM didn't protect the Corvette from. No other GM car was meant to outperform the Corvette, but somehow, this one slipped through the cracks.

[@jukeboxzero1]

Well, maybe that's true for 1987 but the 1989 Turbo TA (with the Buick V-6) also outperformed the '89 Vette.

[@HarrisonJamesSmith]

Steve 🙌

[@yeltsin6817]

I heard a couple of things about that car 1. Buick understated the HP and torque to keep insurance rates lower 2. Corvette owners were pissed that these cars could beat them at half the price so Buick was ordered to scuttle them.

[@victorxavier9977]

Steve!!!! 😎👍

[@Fore-Four-Dee-Too]

I never liked these until I matured to 'Buick appreciation age'

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

Who remembers this engine in the 89 Trans Am pace car..

[@dreamchasergarage690]

I remember when these were released, everyone's jaw dropped in shock and awe. Even today it still looks like Darth Vader's car.

[@BlacKnightRising]

Beautiful car, but the rear deck lid emblem is incorrect, there was no 'intercooled' moniker back there, only on the sides, other then that and I'd rather keep the stock chrome wheels on myself but...not a deal breaker

[@John-wx9oy]

Hard to believe one of the baddest muscle cars ever to come down the pike was made in the car-lame 80s. I'm ready for some more junk yard crawl action, and I bet Steve is too.

[@JT-sl3ui]

The turbo Buicks in ‘87 were rated at 245 HP. 👍🏻✌🏻

[@davehad-enough2369]

Hey Steve. You looking good brother. That's a nice car ... but there's a rusty bent one waiting in a junkyard for you to comment on.

[@johnbehneman1546]

PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR TRUTH.

[@daviddevries2078]

I had the 3,8 litre in a 80 monza ,so fun,,,with a 4 speed,,,so fast for little car,,

[@WhittyPics]

I lived through the 80s and that was the hottest thing on the street at the time

[@MidwestBriar]

Why doesn't it say BUICK on the grill?

[@alansimpson6847]

Good job 😅

[@paulmarino8810]

The best thing about the gn was the ability to add a manual boost controller, injectors, and meth inj easy 450hp.

[@JoeJoe-qq2sr]

In the end Steve says 345 hp but didn't he mean 245 hp?

[@CaptainJerry-]

I will take two please. One in Yellow and one in Green....LOL

[@greasebellygarage]

I had one of these, it would roast the rear tires, bone stock with the g80. I miss that car ..

[@bobbydaniels1560]

💜

[@Jim-ic2of]

Comodious means the same size as a public bathroom .😊

[@heavenhelpus479]

Suggestion: Try using "cavernous" instead of "commodious". Smells better without Mike Joy's word.
