America's best-recognized musclecar of the late-1980s with its turbocharged V-6 engine, this Buick Grand National has the uncommon non-T-top body. Buick introduced the Grand National in 1982 as a high-performance variant of its Regal model to celebrate the marque’s success in the NASCAR Winston Cup series. The model was not built in 1983 but returned for the 1984-1987 model years. This marked the final year of production for the special rear-drive Grand National as well as the highest production totals of the series – 20,193 built.

This unspoiled example is like most GN’s, lavishly equipped - power steering, brakes, windows; plus tilt steering wheel, cruise control and air conditioning. Painted in sinister black, it is equipped with Buick’s chrome model-specific wheels and a bucket seat and console interior in two-tone charcoal/gray cloth. Power is supplied by a 3.8-litre intercooled and turbocharged V-6 producing 245-hp and driven through a four-speed automatic transmission. The only modification on this car is a Kenny Bell cold air intake – with the original found in the trunk. This is reported to be super clean, unmolested, pampered and sparingly driven.
