The Buick Regal Grand National is an institution among fans of classic muscle cars. 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. But back in the ’80s, turbo-powered American cars weren’t as common as you’d imagine. 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.
While arguably the most impressive aspects of this 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo lie under the skin, there are unique subtle finishing touches that add to its cosmetic appeal. The body is finished with a satin clear bra wrap over the exterior, while the bumpers are in wrapped in high gloss, with the work carried out by PDX Wraps. The Buick sits on black custom 18-inch wheels from CCW, which are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The blacked-out theme extends to the ceramic-coated stainless steel exhaust, as well as dark sequential LED taillights supplied by Digi-tails. The dark theme continues inside, with a blacked-out interior. It features custom leather seat covers that enclose deep bucket racing seats. A touch of noise isolation has been added with the installation of sound insulation floorboards, while the interior has been upgraded with an NVU dash instrument cluster upgrade.
The 1987 Buick Regal Grand National is reported to have retained its original engine, which was rebuilt 6,000 miles ago. The 3.8-liter V6 engine was originally turbocharged, but forced induction tech has moved on since the ’80s, so this motor has seen an upgraded turbo in the form of a Garrett TA-63. Keeping everything cool is a front-mount intercooler, while the engine is fed via upgraded fuel pumps coupled with Racetronix fuel lines. For even more power, an Alkycontrol alcohol-injection kit has been installed, while there’s also a new fuel tank and the associated hardware. Electrical components are handled by a new engine bay harness and a TR-6 ignition, while new tuned injectors have also been installed. Aside from the engine, this Grand National sits on tuned Global suspension. Meanwhile, power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox that was rebuilt by Extreme Automatics. The transmission now features a 2004R Stage 2 lockup billet 9.5” stall torque converter, with transmission coolers added.

Buick’s midsize offering from 1973 to 2004, the Regal, entered the market just as the Malaise Era was getting started. So, instead of moaning about the stringent emissions and economy regulations, Buick made it a bit more upmarket than segment contenders. Then, the second generation came about in 1978, bringing with it fresh styling and a station wagon body style. Then, in 1982, the Grand National trim came out, to celebrate Buick winning the Manufacturers Cup in 1981 and 1982 for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National. Buick proudly advertised the car as “What wins on Sunday sells on Monday”. Up for sale today is a 1985 Buick Regal Grand National, but one that’s been extensively modified. The car pushes a four-figure horsepower digit at the wheels, and the current owner proudly tells us that it does a 5.2 in the 1/8th at 131mph. Want more figures? How about an 8.4 in the quarter mile, passing the line at a staggering 161mph? Furthermore, this build has just 4,500 miles on it, and comes with some creature comforts that make it a viable regular car when required.
If the '60s was known for its golden era of muscle cars, then the '80s must be known for its excess. The 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo is the perfect example, with this luxury coupe grabbing the big power figures and offering performance that characterized Buick’s entry into the performance car market. Our featured car presents a rare opportunity to snag a low-mileage, one-owner example of a 1987 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo. The current owner reports that they bought the car new in 1986. Since then, the owner reports the car has covered an original mileage of just 23,000 miles. In addition to having a numbers-matching engine and transmission, this Buick Regal features all original books and manuals, which will be included in the sale.

Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
If one were to hear the brand name Buick, what would spring to mind are some of the most impressive classic cars in history. An interesting fact about Buick is that it was among the first American automobile brands and was the company that established General Motors. It was founded more than a century ago and granted the world with fascinating automobiles that are coveted today. The Buick Special, otherwise known as the Series 40, is a model line produced by the company that was usually its lowest-priced model. In the year 1940, Buick marketed their year lineup as new and improved, and our subject, the 1940 Buick Special Series 40 Coupe, was among them.
The Special was built for several decades, undergoing multiple facelifts, including this particular iteration of a 1964 Buick Special Restomod. An automobile built for the people, the Special was a full-size car that came in different forms, this one being a 2-door. A restomod project, this Buick has been saved from expiration and given a new lease on life, ready to be enjoyed and appreciated by all passers-by, especially the driver. Packed with plenty of modern conveniences, a slick paint job, and a rebuilt engine that the current owner reports has less than 3,000 miles on the clock, very little can be said to turn down this special Buick.
It is often said that life was better in the ʼ80s. Music, clothes, and of course, cars. This 1989 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time. Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs having covered a reported 53,208 miles in its 36-year life. With the name having been around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.
The term icon is reserved for the best of the best. Looking back through history, there are a few automotive icons that have helped shape the current automotive landscape and continue to ensure smiles per gallon to their custodians. Present today is a true icon, and it takes shape with this lovely 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. This muscular classic from the ʼ70s guarantees thunderous performance and the best of the ʼ70s muscle car design to ensure you stand out from the crowd.
The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, also known as the Chevrolet Malibu, was marketed as “America’s most popular midsize car” in 1969. The silhouette of the second generation Chevelle was designed with a long-hood/short deck shape with a high rear-quarter kick-up, making it easily the most fabulous Chevelle out of all the other generations. The semi-fastback and flowing roofline design was mostly influenced by the legendary Camaro. This Super Sport model boasts the 396ci V8 engine that has recently received maintenance as reported by the current owner. Take one look and no doubt this Chevrolet Chevelle has been meticulously taken care of by its current owner, and is for sale in Bakersfield, California.
