A 1987 Buick Regal Grand National with fewer than 39,000 miles is being offered for $69,500, highlighting continued demand for one of the most recognizable American performance cars of the 1980s.
The black coupe, showing 38,447 miles, represents the final model year of the turbocharged Grand National. Powered by a 3.8-liter V6, the car reflects Buick’s embrace of forced induction during an era when tightening emissions regulations and downsized engines challenged traditional muscle car performance.
By 1987, Buick had refined its turbocharged 231 cubic-inch V6 with fuel injection and an intercooler, producing 355 pound-feet of torque at 2,000 rpm. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission featuring overdrive and sends power to a 3.42 Positraction rear axle.
This example includes a range of factory comfort features such as power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, a power driver’s seat, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt steering wheel and a factory AM/FM cassette stereo. The interior is trimmed in gray cloth with bucket seats and a center console shifter.
Performance and handling upgrades have been added, including Baer four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, a Speedtech Performance coilover suspension system with tubular A-arms and heavy-duty stabilizer bars, and a GN1 Performance 3-inch stainless steel cat-back exhaust. The car rides on Budnik alloy wheels fitted with staggered tires measuring 245/40R18 in front and 275/40R18 in the rear.
Documentation accompanying the vehicle includes two broadcast sheets and a copy of the original dealer invoice, confirming its mileage as original. The exterior has been ceramic coated, and the car was recently driven to the Cruisin the Coast 2025 event.
Finished in black with two doors and a coupe body style, the Grand National remains one of the most collectible American performance cars of its decade. This Texas-based example combines documented originality with modern performance enhancements, offering enthusiasts a well-preserved version of Buick’s turbocharged icon.
