Always wanted one. Love the 80s G body cars. Car rides beautiful and very comfortable . The GN is become a real cult classic and values are going up. Don't car though since I'm not selling it. Drive one if you ever get the chanceMay 10, 2015

In their day, Grand Nationals terrorized tracks from Epping to Englishtown, Pomona to Portland and everywhere in between. Buick delivered 20,193 Grand Nationals in 1987. The Buick was faster than almost all cars built in 1987..... Black Air..... (GN, GNX, T-Type)Mar 13, 2015

This car is smooth and easy to drive. This car accelerates well but since it was the fastest production car of the 1980s (even including the Corvette) it should. This car tends to draw a crowd at car shows. This model has been called the Darth Vader of cars. It has 60K miles.Oct 07, 2011

One...mean...car. The "Darth Buick" is one car not to be messed with. It is a "sleeper" only to those that are not too knowledgeable concerning cars. The stance, the blackest black ever seen on a car, '80's brick styling, are just a few ways this car is special. Hit the gas...hold on - but do not expect to hear a rumble, more like a surge of air that the turbo is sucking up. If you want compliments on what you drive from all ages, this is the car for you. Once you drive one, you hate getting out of it. GNs may all be black, but each owner adds their own touches. Vader would be proud to drive this one around the Death Star.Feb 20, 2010

The 1987 Buick Grand National is hell on four wheels. It has a 3.8 SFI Turboed V6 which puts out 246 bhp, and arounf 355 ft-lbs of torque, which is great to launch hard off the line. Its one of the most renowned cars among muscle car enthusiasts. The interior is pretty basic, but the exterior is a Buick Regal on steriods, its just plain aggresive. A price of 1987 Grand National is between 19-24k. Is it fun to drive? HELL YEAH!Sep 23, 2009

This car is ridiculously fast and this high pressure
turbo system gives the car a really nice kick. The V6
engine is very nice and still runs nicely. The brakes
were replaced to the master cylinder brake system and
a bigger new turbo was installed. The two tone black
and gray interior is nice with the all black paint job.Jun 23, 2009

This car has almost everything! Speed, acceleration, looks! Only 2 downsides.....brakes are too small and heat up fast since made for slow regular regals on monte carlos, and body roll due do better needed sway bars and suspension parts. All that aside there is nothing like whooping vettes and stangs in a little V6. Gas milage is great if you dont have a heavy foot. Gets about 26 mpg highway! 3.8 in this car is very solid. all leak oil due to high crank case pressure. All mods go a long way with this car. The car was way before its time.Apr 17, 2009

This is my brothers car and I drove it, the first things your going to notice is that the pedal is really stiff and touchy, and the car will handle like nascar because of the hard suspension (and the had a GN series nascar). The only work we did on it is replace the turbo because the stock one was leaking oil (because its 21 years old) but we got a bigger one for it. This car is the ultimate car for showboatin and will prolby beat ANY CAR in my town. Even Nates old Montey Carlo. as we have seen ;)Aug 08, 2008

Outside of the latest line-up of new muscle cars and the great muscle cars of the 60's and early 70's, this was THE greatest muscle car ever built. It isn't the uniqueness or the stealth-like appearance or performance, it's what can be done to bring this car to true supercar status on a shoestring budget. This car epitomizes straight line exhileration--velcro cheek straps not included.Apr 20, 2008

I loved the car and wish I never sold it. They are very hard to find now a days and even harder to find in good condition. Apr 09, 2008

One of the fastest cars that no one has heard of, a Buick that could blow the doors off a Vette.Mar 21, 2008

My dad says that this car has to be the greatest car that he has ever owned. It has a 3.8L turbo V8 engine under the hood. Gas, 2dr. Black, hardtop (no T-top) has been in storage for a while but should run great when we get it out. He used to drag race it in raceway park, he used to do real good. Mar 17, 2008
