1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL
Introduction:
If you are looking for a Grand National then you are already aware of what these cars are all about and how difficult it has become to find an unmolested example (not driven a ¼ mile at a time). This GN has been garaged most of its life. It has only had two adult owners and almost 12 years with the current owner. This Grand National has been meticulously cared for since day one, with most of the service performed at the local Buick Dealer.
History:
Car and Driver reported a 0-60 blast that claimed this car the title "Fastest US Production Car of 1987". The turbocharged, intercooled Buicks were the fastest American production cars of their era, and yes even over the Corvette. Rumor has it that this is why GM pulled the plug on these Buicks. They would not have a vehicle in their fleet that could outperform the flagship Corvette.

Production: 20,193

Notes:
All pre-owned cars will have some flaws. It's simply the nature of time, use, and being exposed to the environment. No matter how original, restored, or well-maintained and no matter how many "only driven to Church on Sundays by little old ladies" have owned them. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either flat out lying or blind. Please feel free to ask me any questions prior to the end of the auction. I am not a car salesman and I will tell you the REAL truth. This is my father’s personal car and I know every detail about this car. Feel free to make arrangements to come inspect the car yourself or by someone you trust, at your own expense.
The flaws on this car are very minor. You won't find anything that's not be expected of a car of this age and mileage. As you can see from the pictures, the overall exterior of this GN is outstanding! The body is laser straight and the paint is a mile deep. Mechanically, this car is flawless. The car is clean and dry underneath, with no leaks that I could find. Remember this car is from Southern California and has been garaged most of its life. There is no rust anywhere
