Hey All,

Welcome to the dark side. I created this for my 1987 Buick Grand National (obviously, right?). My stepfather bought this car brand new in 1987, fresh off the showroom floor, and decided that he was either going to give it to me or sell it. So I was fortunate enough to say that a piece of car history was my first car at 16 years old. The car has needed a lot of work but it has been a great car and I continue to drive it when I'm home for summer from Boston University. Yes it's "just a 6" but take it from experience, she can hold her ground against the powerful V-8's on the road.

It's a never ending project so if you have any questions post in the guestbook and I'll reply with what I've learned about these cars. If you like what you see, sign the guest book. If you don't, you can sign it anyways but then I'll probably delete it. Thanks for looking..

Some quick spec's:
1987 Buick Regal w/ Grand National performance package
3.8L V-6 SFI Turbo
2004R 4-Speed Automatic Transmission
245hp - 355 ft lbs tq

Either way, let's just say she isn't bone stock anyways. Oh, and she rips some pretty good burnouts too.
