1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL
I bought this for my daily driver and drove all the way from TN (originally a Florida car) to the Detroit area then I moved to Las Vegas so I drove it there. No problems, T-tops off, and radio blasting. This is one of the most fun cars I have owned. I've been driving it every day until I decided to rebuild the engine and the suspension. As it is now:
1987 GN w/ T-Tops, 95k original miles, 500 on engine.
PW, PDL, Power trunk release, rear window defrost, power drivers seat, 145mph speedo, guages, scanmaster, CD with dual 12" subs and 2 amps. Interior is in excellent like brand new condition.
Body is near perfect with an immaculate $4600 paint job and all new door and window weather seals.
Engine was built by Mike Zimmerman on Zimmerman Racing with specs as follows:
.020" overbore, forged turbo pistons, speedpro rings, billet main caps, double roller, roller cam, Champion GN1 aluminum heads, ported stock intake, ported stock intercooler, 40# injectors, Walboro fuel pump and racetronix hot wire kit, TE-60 turbo, Terry Houston 3" downpipe, ATR 3" crossflow dual exhaust, dual Spal thermostatically controlled fans with custom racetronix fan harness, Accufab adjustable fuel regulator. PMAC tranny with raised stall stock converter.
After intstalling the new engine I installed new C5 Corvette front Brakes with ATS forged aluminum spindles w/C5 Corvette hubs, SC&C Pro-Lite adjustable upper control arms with Howe precision ball joints. 17" Torque Thrust II Polished Aluminum rims. Eibach Pro springs all around.
Car has the potential to run in the 11's with proper tuning and has the hardware to run in the 10's with a few upgrades. This car is show quality and could be driven coast to coast without concern.
This is one of the cleanest GNs you will find and fast as hell to boot!
Car is currently for sale..please email if interested. Here's some pics before the upgrades I recently did.
