    1987 Buick Grand National 35k miles

    Well, I bought this car to turn it into an 11 second street/strip car but after much thought I didn't think such a low mileage car is such good shape should be modified so heavily. I probably should've bought a higher mileage GN that already had some modifications. It is about 95% original...

    What are these connectors for?

    I was reading up on how to test the fuel pump by jumping a wire from the positive terminal on the back of the alternator with a black connector behind the A/C pump and I think I found the black connector. But there was also a green connector that has some black paint on it real close to the...

    Fuel pump prime

    I did a search and came across a bunch of fuel pump threads but nothing that entirely matched with my problem. I bought my totally stock 87 Grand National in October of last year and it took a while to start, the fuel pump would not prime, the seller told me the fuel pump needed to be changed...

    Brake light issue

    My third brake light was out so I changed the bulb. It still didn't work so I changed the brake light switch and that fixed the problem. When I was checking the brakes I noticed that the left side was good but the right rear brake light was out now. I was going to change the bulb but it looks...

    Performance and handling question.

    Right now my 87 GN is stock, I don't need to make it handle like an Indy car or set any drag strip records, just run and handle a bit better. I'll be spending about $2500-3000 over the winter and I'm looking for some suggestions on springs/shocks and performance upgrades from the experts. I'm...

    Fuel question

    I hate to start another thread about fuel pumps/ relays but I did a search and looked about about 25 threads and didn't see anything related. After sitting for a while, I turn the ignition on, the pump does not prime, I turn the key 3-4 times for about 4-5 seconds each and then it starts and...

    Looking for clean Grand National

    I have $25k cash but can go a bit higher and I'm looking for an 86-87 (preferably 87) Grand National. Modified cars are OK but nothing too radical. Preferably under 50k. Must have A/C. No tubbed, back-halved cars or roll cages. The closer to he North East the better. You can post here or email...

    This or that?

    I've looked at two cars and now I'm looking for expert opinions on a comparison of them., both 87 GNs. 1st one has 19k original miles, is in almost perfect condition (paint is immaculate) and has a down pipe, intercooler and a chip. Problem is the title shows a theft recovery from 1989. Not...

    Should this car be rescued?

    We were returning from a call and came across a silver 84 T Type just sitting there in an alley behind an old abandoned school, all 4 tires were flat, it showed 40587 miles on the clock (probably 140k), spots of rust here and there, the moon roof seal was bad and their was condensation all over...

    I'm looking to trade my superclean 92 5.0 in favor for an 87 GN

    I've always been a fan of Grand Nationals ever since we used to take our Mustangs out to Englishtown for the 5.0/ Grand National Shootout back in the day. Well, about 2 weeks ago I happened upon an 87 Grand National about 30 minutes away from me, it has 43k original miles, runs and drives great...
