135021 / 1987 Buick Grand National

For more information on this vehicle visit All black, all business and so sinister even your shut-in grandmother knows it means trouble, this prim and polished Buick backs $31K worth of V6 power with a modified drivetrain and custom suspension! BODYWORK/TRIM This Grand National’s wet-looking coat of GM code 19U Black highlights original sheetmetal that’s both crisp and sharp. The car’s vertical panels center straight surfaces in even gaps, showing no signs of damage or accident repairs. And, topped by great looking, factory-correct trim, the finish on those panels is every bit as glossy as it is deep. ENGINE The professionally built sixer behind this coupe’s Vader-like grille is founded on a new block that was magnafluxed, sonic-tested, squared, honed, bored .020 and fitted with CNC-ported Champion Racing heads. Inside that block, A SCAT stroker crank combines with billet, hand-machined rods, machined and coated Ross Racing pistons and a Comp hydraulic roller cam to provide smooth inertia. Combustion is created when 8mm AC Delco Premium Silicone wires bump Morel roller rockers, Morel pushrods and Morel lifters. A steady amalgamation of oxygen and fossils is provided by a K&N air filter, a 70mm Accufab throttle body, a ported and matched intake, Alkycontrol Methanol Injection and 60# fuel injectors. And coated headers, a PTE high-flow intercooler, fabricated air tubes and a TA Performance oil pump keep everything lucid and cool. All those carefully calculated improvements are, with the help of a TurboTweak chip, good for a universally impressive 550 dyno-proven rear wheel horsepower. And items like ARP bolts, ARP studs, Cometic gaskets, coated engine bearings and a Cloyes roller timing set ensure everything works in unison to provide invigorating and equally terrifying acceleration. DRIVETRAIN Behind that raucous engine, a custom-programmed Four C’s automatic transmission makes good use of a SCAT flywheel, a 3,500 RPM non-lockup stall and 200R4 billet internals. That gearbox twists torque through a billet yoke, a heavy duty driveshaft, heavy duty U-joints and a proven Currie 9-inch, which is fitted with beefy, gears. Factory power steering rides between QA1 Street Control Arms and adjustable QA1 coil-over-shocks. Out back, adjustable QA1 trailing arms compress two more QA1 coil-over-shocks. Power-assisted stops are provided by a combination of big Wilwood calipers, drilled and slotted rotors and 11-inch GM drums. Charred dinosaurs float in to rowdy Pypes Race Pro mufflers. And power meets pavement through Budnik X-Series Grand National wheels, which spin 225/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sports in front of 275/40R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. INTERIOR Inside this awesome street bruiser you’ll find a correct Gray and Black interior that’s virtually spotless. Leather-wrapped SCAT PROCAR buckets provide much more support than factory fodder. Opposite those seats, factory gauges inhabit a blocky dash that’s free of warps and cracks. Below that dash, a factory console frames an elegant factory shifter. And, because increased safety is essential at this level of performance, everything is wrapped in a tasteful roll cage. With $31K in engine receipts alone, this incredible G-Body is an incredible bargain. And you can pretty much bank on the fact that the car will grow in value as it and its buyer base continues to mature. So, what are you waiting for?
