I bought a 1987 Buick GN in 1991 with only 2,400 miles. Still had the little yellow markings on the Goodyear eagle tires. I kept rhe car dor almost 5 years and did my thing with it. Car had 7,500 miles when i sold it. Paid $14,900 for the car in 1991, sold it for $14,500 after 4-5 years, so it cost me about $100 per year to own. The weirdest thing with the GN i had was no concert sound stereo so there were no speakers in the doors. Also had a fixed mast antenna where as most were retractable.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Interesting fact about the speakers… Do you wish you would have kept it???

[@draines9237]

It was pre-ordered that way from the previous owner. Those were options and cost extra. So to minimize the cost, the buyer probably felt he didn't have the need for upgraded speakers and the electric antenna

I talked to him about 4 years ago and he still has it , the Buick still has the window sticker on the window has the plastic covers on the front seats and the plastic on the floor mats covered with cardboard , he bought the car with 4 stock steel rims & tires and he told the dealership not to mount the Buick Grand national rims & tire he kept them unmounted this whole time . He starts the car from time to time to keep it from seizing up and to prevent cylinder ring rust plus he kepted it on jack stands .

I had it for 3 years it was a beautiful car and drove nice very fast . I put a straight pipe in for the converter , also I put a computer chip in it and lastly I changed the the wheel on a Garrett turbo charger I believe that was all from correct . At 15 miles an hour that thing would break loose, smoke the tires and take off ! They had a GNX up on lift with a cover on it . I tried to buy that one but it wasn't for sale . It was very expensive for me at the time with the mark-up price . Just for my regular GN there was a I believe 10,000 added to the sticker price from the dealer . I remember the GNX was 25 Grand , so I think mine was almost 28,000 in the GNX was about 50 Grand at the time . Super expensive for 87 !

My cousin bought an 87 GN , drove it a couple of years and has been storing it up on blocks all these years. I just saw it lately and it looks great yet.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

A classic.. such a massive response on this GN!

[@williammetcalf7239]

That 87 is bad ass. My grandma bought a new white Monte Carlo in 85. Similar looking.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Coolest Grandma on the block!

I know a guy that bought a GNX edition I believe, it was numbered between 1 and 500 and he parked it. The horse power those turbos got out of a V6 was incredible

I remember being at the Chevy Oldsmobile Buick dealership staring at a 78 regal with a funny hump on the left side of the hood.. I remember he made the claim that this six-cylinder regal will blow the doors off of any other production American car... And it was a six-cylinder... I remember looking at him with disbelief..

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Wild! Cook memories!

[@neverleft636]

I’ve always loved the Regal GNX and if I could ever get my hands on one I’d be happy for life

[@Mountain_Dew1987]

I was born in 1987, just like this, beautiful grand national ❤

[@saleslrp6143]

My dream car when I was in my teens! Loved that car!

[@marshallrogers8011]

I had a 1987 GN,talk about getting respect from Mustang,Corvette+even old hot rodders admired the GN..when the boost kicked in be prepared to be thrown backb into the seat. Missed that car,sold it to get a ZR1 Corvette. The ZR1 somehow didn't have that Presence the GN had then+today.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Good for you for having one…. They certainly have a look!!

[@MatthewMcCarthy-m5e]

I want that car!! One of my favorite cars ever!!

[@user-jy5ox1os7g]

I know ppl that would trade spouses and children for this car 😂😂 absolutely beautiful and well preserved vehicle

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Wild they kept it at 300 miles

[@alecbrinker7268]

I've driven that very model of car. In 1990, I was 17 and a friend of my brother lent me his GN to go run an errand for him and my brother. Sweet car. I was shocked at how fast it accelerated.

[@mauricejones3387]

But how are the gaskets and other items that need regular heating and cooling cycles going to hold up?

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Great question!

[@edgoyette9645]

Damm that's fucking mint probably the best one I ever seen

[@Jamie-rf7hb]

A bran spanking new Grand National.....Beautiful

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Yup! Sold for 90k!

[@robnirenberg4727]

That was my dream car when I was a kid. So bad ass.

[@ejp75]

My ex-wife had a black cherry Monte Carlo SS. I drove an ‘81 Corvette. I always wanted a black Grand National. That car’s a mint beauty.
