Rev up your nostalgia engines and meet the 1987 Buick Grand National turbo intercooled sunroof coupe—a sleek, black beauty that proves the ’80s knew a thing or two about going fast. This GM masterpiece is so clean it puts a new car to shame, and as it ages, its value is climbing faster than you can say “turbocharged.” If you’re looking for a ride that combines the thrill of speed with an investment opportunity, buckle up, because this collector’s gem is the stock market’s cooler cousin.
Buick’s 1987 Grand National is the final hurrah, a sleek, black vision on the Regal platform. Among the 27,590 Turbo Regals, the lighter WE4 (Turbo T) stands out with its aluminum components. Even rarer is the GNX, with only 547 units boasting special interiors and performance tweaks straight from McLaren Performance Technologies. This “Darth Vader car” sports a turbocharged V6, achieving 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, proving V6s can rule the road, even when V8s were all the rage!
For the 1986 model year, the Buick Grand National roared onto the scene with a completely redesigned engine, featuring an improved turbo-charger that could blow the socks off any unsuspecting pedestrian. Equipped with a vastly improved computer fuel management system, this luxury muscle car is a stealthy powerhouse, underrated at 235 hp and delivering 335 lbs of torque to the wheels. It’s like a lion in a tuxedo, smooth yet ferocious—a perfect blend of sophistication and raw power.
