1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONALwith only 14,700 original Miles!! NO RESERVE.This is a Awesome near mint 1987 Buick Grand National that has Always been garage kept (even the original owner kept it garaged). The pictures you see do not do this car justice, the pictures were taken with a cell phone. Must see in person, it's very clean. It has almost every option that was available back then in 1987. It has a solid roof and factory limited slip posi rear (factory options listed above). The car was originally from Minnesota. Was owned by World Famous Dennis Kirban who picked it up from the previous owner in Minnesota. A previous owner made some very discreet upgrades to this car that made this car much, much faster than any other factory stock Grand National (or any other factory MuscleCar). He also installed the 145MPH speedo in place of the wimpy 85MPH speedo. In 1987 the Grand National was the fastest production car in the USA just as it was when it rolled off the assembly line..., thanks to the "discreet" upgrades described below, this Grand National still would beat any production car in the USA, even today's high horsepower monsters. Yet this car idles, runs and drives just as smoothly and comfortably as it did when it rolled off the assembly line; best of both worlds. Everything works including factory A/C, heat, power antenna, cruise control, etc. The paint is super smooth and factory original, the interior is super mint as if it was never sat in. One of the only things done to this car many years ago was rims; To keep the factory fresh appearance without the tiny (skinny) factory wheel look. Wheels were completely cut up, un-welded, etc, and then had them rebuilt to a much larger size of 17 inch X 9 inch rears and 17 inch X 8 inch fronts. They look AMAZING with new chrome!! And they fit perfectly with no rubbing. Anyone who has seen this car in person is shocked and confused, it looks like it could be stock/factory yet it fills the wheel wells much, much nicer than the 15 X 7's that came with it. It now has 275-40-17 rears and 245-45-17 fronts. To my knowlege it's the only Grand National with factory wheels stretched to 17 inch height, only seen GN wheels made wider, not taller and wider. It was very expensive to do many years ago. The plain black space saver spare wheel in the trunk was redone from an original Grand National wheel! An actual GN wheel was shrunken so that it fits in the same storage hole as the space saver spare, it even has the space saver tire mounted on it, looks factory OEM. Everything on this car (including the wheels) and all the upgrades look as if GM did it at the factory. In the past the Car was brought to the Annual Buick Car Show at Raceway Park, in Englishtown, New Jersey twice years ago ( about 2002 and 2003 ) and both times it won 1st Place in the Factory Stock Grand National Class, and there were over 100 super clean Grand Nationals there. What was interesting about both wins was that it not only won the Car Show against Grand Nationals with less mileage on them, but it won the Factory Stock Class even with the modifications listed below, everyone including the judges felt that the upgrades looked factory installed (even the wheels!).

It has a small blemish on the lower part of driver side quarter panel that is hardly noticeable, it won't show up on pictures either because the paint is not effected at all The best way to describe the blemish is a small wave in the sheet metal. The undercarriage is rust free, the tank is still silver. I have a set of brand new OEM chrome "3.8 SFI Turbo" lettering that is included with the car, it's not on the car because in my opinion the car looks cleaner without it, but it will be included when you get the car.
