Description

1987 Buick Grand National – WE2, Built Turbo V6, 200 Miles on Engine, Fresh Interior, Highly Upgraded & Well Sorted

This 1987 Buick Grand National is a true street and strip legend — now extensively upgraded and tastefully refreshed throughout. If you’re looking for a Grand National with serious performance, freshly rebuilt components, a fully restored interior, and a documented enthusiast ownership history, this is your car.

Originally from Texas, this Grand National is rust-free, structurally solid, and features a fully built engine with just 200 miles on the fresh build. It’s loaded with high-performance upgrades and fine-tuned for boost, responsiveness, and raw driving excitement — all while retaining that iconic Grand National look.

While the body is straight and the car shows well, the paint is best described as Original Black Lacquer Paint and is driver quality. It presents okay for local shows and cruising, but to match the level of detail and performance under the hood, it deserves a higher quality repaint. That said, the body structure is clean, the door jambs and trunk have been coated in POR-15, and much of the trim and exterior detailing has already been addressed. A serious collector or performance enthusiast will recognize this as an excellent opportunity to finish the car to show standards.

Please Note: The air conditioning system hasn't worked on this car and has been professionally removed and capped off. It was done cleanly and properly and is reflected in the pricing.
