My Dad worked at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Mi, he use to bring these cars home for the Weekends!

[@angelo_giachetti]

Sounds like you have some good stories to tell.

[@maddpeanut6313]

Sinister! One of these beat my '72 Vette back in the day. That's when I decided to work on the Vette.

[@blackericdenice]

7:21 3rd problem, the owner removed the cat. Another bad thing owner did trying to increase hp. 7:25 4th problem, the pinion seal is leaking and the diff maybe low on oil.

I used to go to a local 1/8 mile drag strip around 1989 - 1991 and seen a couple of these race against big block cars, they held their own.

[@erickort1987]

i love it when you have a buick turbo on your lot to show

[@FuqAhCrackaInaAss]

2 different models

[@tonytrumble]

Here's the 80's sleeper! These GN'S are bad ass sleepers! That little V6 can put a lot of V8's to shame! It'll sell quickly

[@itscomplicated8334]

Gorgeous. But I’m holding out for t-top version.

[@christopherlaflam6383]

As the original owner of a 92 Trans Am, I always say if a car model was offered with T Tops.....get one with T Tops. They're amazing.

[@Thereisnomole-di7rt]

Back in the day you could get oxtails, chicken wings, skirt steak, porgy for dirt cheap. Not any more. Thanks Kendrick for putting the already open secret on the radar.

We get it, if you're here because of Kendrick it's all good, but the rest of us been here since we were kids and been loving these cars.

[@motaz1975]

nice example of a driver quality, lightly modded gn. i see it has the typical rear main leak they all had lol! i was running mid 10s in mine over 20 years ago. great fun to own and drive.

[@dannyg402012]

In 1987 I went to look at a used 1895 Buick Regal on a Saturday morning at a Buick dealer. Regular Regal, 34,000 miles, 2 years old. $8999. I needed a car that fast since I was going back to work that night and my junk 79 Camero was headed to the junk yard. I signed the papers for the 85 Regal, got it for $8499. While I was waiting for them to get it ready I went to the New Car Showroom. In the middle of the floor was this Beautiful Brand New Black Grand National. Sticker was $15,700 Brand New 1987. I didn't know it was such a special car, I just thought it was cool looking and new. Told the used car guy, forget that 85, I want this one. It's brand new. He said "To late, your loan and everything was approved and signed for on your 85. I was kinda piss** but couldnt argue cause I had to get home. Wish I would have went by the new cars 1st

[@waywardwest]

Ive wanted one of these since they first hit showroom floors!

[@Dooguy]

I owned 4 low mile GN"s back in the day....sold em all and made good money. Another few decades later.....dam i coulda really cleaned up.

[@jefferfoxmustang5945]

I believe, 0 to 60, these were the fastest American made cars in 86-87.

[@jdgreen214]

Only on Colder days. 40 degree or less 0 to 60 4.9 seconds. They are kinda horrible in the summer unless you have alcohol or methonal to cool the intake.

[@DavidM-e6q]

Coolest car ever in the history of the world in my opinion.

I sold my GNX last year. It didn’t go far because my 21 year old niece bought it from me and she says that she will never sell it.

[@thebacdoc6464]

I used to work at a new car dealership in 1988. A 1985 came in on trade, one owner, I bought it. I wished I never would of sold it. Same with Trans Ams from the seventies. These were just cars back then. Who ever would of known....

[@bbc454nos]

You don't

[@leleetifra8818]

I own one. 1 of 2000 in the 20000 somthing thousand they made. 30gs is not enough have to many upgrades to count. Completely rebuild engine with ever new gasket. Plus thousands in engine exhast pistons springs rims paint. But best of wishes. Funnest car i have owned. Only thing i would want is a 69 camaro super sport. And i have the block already. ✌️

In the early 2000s I had a few of these in Oakland c.a unfortunately it was hard to keep people from stealing them

[@phillipanderson2607]

Didn't they produced a trans am in 1989 anniversary edition with this motor in it. I think it had white body with blue stripe down the middle of the car. I remember seeing one on the show room floor at a dealership brand new. Love the looks of the grand national. A legend in its time. I would put this one up in a garage. Like money in the bank. Sale later on and make a lot of money.

[@mustanga4363]

It’s called a turbo Trans Am. Limited production for the Indianapolis 500. It’s white with no stripes. Interior is tan in color.

[@Darren-r8l]

Imagine this car with a supercharged 6.2 liter Ls V8 like the one in a C7 ZO6 Corvette.It would be a burnout machine.I like everything about the grand national gnx except the speedometer.

[@ryan8430]

Knew a guy in Taylor MI who was a postman kept his in the garage took it out every once in a blue moon but when he did that car turned every head who heard it or saw it

Most guys that own these cars run drag radials. Almost goes without saying that you need a sticky tire or you're just going to spin. And drag radials still look really nice with the stock rims. Nice car!

[@jdgreen214]

Yep. I have cheap Hankook tires. Almost like rolling on plastic.

[@charlestoole1789]

If you do all the right upgrades even drag radials won't hook up.

Get the buick regal. Same car basically but with a V8.

[@Scorpionluva]

​@FlowmasterStang Kinda my 1st car was a black 87 regal with an olds 307 V8. It was a TURD but it got mistaken as a GN quite a bit so i always got beat in races i didnt even know i was in 😂

[@Darren-r8l]

You owned a black 1987 Buick Regal Turd.😂

[@MasterCommanderBastid]

Now you’re hitting home. When I was 13, I asked a local repair shop owner for a job. He hired me for $75 for 3-4 days a week after school. And 5 in the summer. He turned out to be an ex-con that used to mastermind bank robberies. After he served a long bid in the Feds, he used his stash to buy the shop and he had used cars much like your business. He drove one of these,which I only ever saw once or twice a month to detail. He had to pick it up from a new tire installation and he needed me to drive it a few blocks behind him in a straight stick F100. I hit the gas too hard and was weaving back and forth into oncoming traffic for about 4 seconds but felt like a lifetime. I would tap the pedal after that until I slowly pulled into the lot. I don’t even think he yelled at me,he was in such shock 😂. So this car is on my bucket list. Kendrick Lamar just shot the value of these up again with his album release GNX.But I’ll see you some day for mine. 💪🏾😎

[@jdgreen214]

Those bumper fillers will collapse after awhile. Mine lasted a year after i got mine. Spool fool makes great fillers.

[@matburkett9550]

That rear needs a axel seal asap

[@loganrusso39]

Damn, this didn't last long... even with 103k miles.

[@GrandCamino6]

@MapleMotorsMuscleCarsNickSouthgate 8:01 I believe this GN has the beautiful SS ATR catback with their Pitbull mufflers. You can see the blue oval ATR sticker at the bottom of each muffler under the dust. This is my favorite sounding exhaust on a Turbo Buick. Looks like it could have a leaky rear main seal which is unfortunately pretty common. These cars love the cold air and really come alive when the temperature drops down to the 20’s or below.

[@randymcmanus8691]

It's a nice ride ,needs a nastier exhaust on it and blowing smoke while revving ,these are getting hard to find nowadays they will definitely shit and git though.

[@mzaccagnini7179]

It's smoking because it's cold outside! That's one of the best cars you ever had 😊😊

[@eibborshorg8978]

Bluish smoke is not a cold issue and is never a good thing.

@@Banctella Negative, WHITE = coolant BLUE = oil BLACK = too much fuel Smoke during acceleration = valve seals or rings Smoke during coasting = rings

Not at all unusual for a good condition 86-87 Grand National. Excellent condition ones can easily go for 10-20K more.

From what i could see this is a great deal on this car . The smoking should be checked out closely tho .

[@captainlarrynosleepfishing5350]

It’s not a great deal! it’s not original ! Brand new they went for $16,500

[@mustanga4363]

The smoke is either valve seals or a turbo. With 103,000 miles on it I’m pretty much gonna say it’s valve seals. That’s not a good deal on that car.

If it doesn’t close by the momentum, after that I just use my thumb, index & middle finger on each hand (left and right side of the hood) and assist it on the way down so it latches. I was so pissed when I dented my hood. It happened pretty easy too. Anyway, that is a beautiful Grand National there and I am sure it will go real quickly.
