Reviews and Buyer Guides for Buick Gran Sport's From Automotive Experts

It’s a fairly standard recipe by modern standards: take an unassuming coupe and add forced induction to the engine to create bigger power figures.

The Buick Regal Grand National Turbo was one of the few to harness the power of a turbo in the chassis of a muscle car coming from a V6 motor. This 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo on sale is a unique custom creation featuring multiple upgrades under the hood, as well as cosmetic touches to finish off this unique build. In addition, the owner reports that this car has covered just 6,000 miles since the original engine was rebuilt.

Buick however felt like they could do better, and introduced the first generation Regal in 1973. While the car was successful, it would forever go on to live in the shadows of its predecessor, with the second-gen Regal becoming one of the most popular cars to ever come out of a Buick factory.

Curtice. This 1974 Buick Electra 225 Limited that we've got for sale is a fourth-generation example with 100,497 miles on the odometer and a slice of what Seventies luxury motoring was like.
