People, enjoy these cars while they still exist. They are the last of the true American muscle, with the classic GM chime/interior and the legendary Buick V6. There will not be another car like this ever. Screw the haters, I love the looks of the car and most of you watching can probably agree- nothing this badass has ever come out of GM's doors since!

"People" really, do you think you're on a fucking podium or what.

i've always been impressed by the 86 and 87 grand nationals, not just because they were the fastest american production cars of an entire decade, but because they actually sound great too. i've never heard a factory v6 sound this close to a v8 when idling and cruising.

Ahhhh yes sir but Lord Vader would really want an authentic Grand National. He would really want a GNX but will settle for a GN. However, certainly not just the T-Type disguised as a GN. And not too well at that!

@JT. This car isn't disguising itself as a GN. A Turbo-T with the WE4 package got the full blackout treatment minus the GN badging and decklid spoiler. It was also about 300 lbs. lighter than a GN with aluminium wheels, bumper braces, and rear drums. All of which made it faster than a "true" GN.

Ordered a WE-4 back in late 86 . Got it in 87. Cant say enough good things about the car.........and the times I had in it!

Wow.., we had a lot of really cheesy cars that came out in the 80's here in the US.., BUT we did have a few gems (this clearly being one of them). This cars exhaust note always brought a smile to my face. A truly menacing exhaust note for a 6 cylinder.

4:38 train horn is nice touch. My friend had 1987 new off the lot. Sweet.

Who cares about HP? This car could hit 60 in 4.7 seconds. In 1986 that was really impressive. I thought it produced 275 hp, not 250.

In a good state of tune, the 86-87 Turbo Regals put out 265-275 horsepower. The GNX actually put out well over 300. The published horsepower numbers for these cars were a joke. Besides, these engines are torque monsters and that's what made these cars quick from 0-60 and through the quarter mile. Not many cars even today lay down 355-400 lb-ft of torque like these did and those figures are with factory boost settings. They can easily put out 500-600 lb-ft of torque with a few modifications and increased boost settings.

Such a classic design. HUGE UPS for reviewing this car.

You, good sir, have these reviews and the way you do everything down to a science. Keep up the good work

When this car first came out it probably looked so amazing for the first time in the show room. Than you bought it and you were the best of the best. This car told you something just by looking at the front hood and grill. It was mean, lean and bad ass. Till this day it still makes you look bad ass behind the wheel. But their making a new one now so you won't look bad ass anymore. Y'all just look like your driving one of those every day boring compact cars. So in my opinion keep on driving your 87' if you have one.

coololds85 An 87 Buick is certainly not better designed than a 2014 Buick. After 73 the American auto industry (particularly GM) made nothing but underpowered, unreliable crap. I love old cars, I hate crappy cars. Other than its age, nothing about an 87 Buick is "classic." In a couple of years, a 93 Dodge will be considered a "classic" so something being 25+ years old doesn't make it any good.

***** Dude just listen to how pathetic you sound. How can you compare an 87 Buick with a newer Buick? Most of the newer cars will never last close to 10 years and will never amount to anything or be on the road for the next 27 years like this 87 Buick GN or any older car for that point. GM has no competition and most of their cars are killing people. FYI, In 1987, GM weren't making cars with defected power steering systems, faulty accelerators, or brake systems. If you want a new car go buy one and get killed. The 1980s cars were equipped way better because if they weren't than they wouldn't have lasted 25-30 years and still be on the road today. So think about what you just said. Newer cars equipped better than the older cars? The problem with these newer cars are the crap their building in them. Their more focused on adding all these new gadgets or sensors than improving the safety of your car.

Should review a Typhoon or syclone

Great vid Kyle, love these time capsules!

YAAAA thanks for another AWESOME video once again!!!!

Me : i really want one of those Radio : 10:44

This is probably the closest a v6 will sound to a v8, especially under 2000 revs, it sounds really similar. I prefer an LS but i got to give props to GM for not going on a warpath to end the v8 like another american car company i know...

Whenever I think of summer, I often think about classic cars. I actually saw one of these at a show in July 2011.

This is a 1987 WE4 or Turbo T. This car isn't a Grand National. It is just as fast and as nice and rarer than the GN. Only 1547 of the WE4s were made. Very nice. I would trade my 86 GN for this car in a heartbeat.

Although not stock, aftermarket 145 mph speedometer overlays have been a popular modification. They were commonly sold with a device that would compensate for this change without causing problems for the vehicle speed sensor.

+toyoscio They only went up to 85 because in 1974, the National Maximum Speed Law of 55 was put in place to save energy. It wasn't removed until 1995. Auto makers made speedometers only go up to 85 so the driver would feel like they're going faster with the needle way up there.

This is the finest example of 80s performance. For me its the best. Buick did make a muscle car when we thought that time would be over. Someday in future, i will own one :D

My ex-boss owns the last GN/RWD G-body ever made. It's got maybe 8 miles on it. He got to go to the factory and help build it before they shut the factory down for good. There's a documentary about it, also.

one of my favorite cars! thanks!

Thank you Kyle, I've loved these cars since high school, and I watched the video of your family surprising your sister with the Cruz, it was a nice video and din't pay attention to the pervs out there.

One of my favorite cars of all time

80’s baby here it’s gorgeous!

Always loved the '87 Buicks. Wouldn't mind starting out with one.

Totally agree Kyle! By the way, awesome video! I'm a huge fan of you. Keep up the great work! :)

I think one thing the younger generation doesn’t realize is, in most cases affordable “performance cars” were averaging 15 second quarter miles and 7 second 0-60’s at the time. Then here comes the intercooled turbo regals running sub 5 second 0-60’s and quarter miles into the 13’s like it was something out of the 21st century. It was such a wild time to own one back in the 80’s. My dad has owned his since it was new back in 87. I was 5 years old when I rode along for the test drive.

Worked at a Buick dealership from 84 to 88. I test drove these on several occasions. Most memorable was when I decided to see what it would do from a dead stop. The acceleration was so smooth at 1st that the tires didn't squeal.In a few seconds, it was up to 45MPH, then shifted into 2nd. The rear tires broke loose so much that the car started to turn sideways. At19 years old driving,someone else's car this scared the crap out of me. It also gave me an amazing respect for these powerful machines.

Definitely a collector's car without a doubt!!

This is my dream car

Great overview!

AWSOME car kyle Love your videos

One of the first few cars of the muscle era to show that you don't need 8 cylinders and insane amount of displacement to go like mad. Not personally a fan of muscles, but this Buick is pretty nice. Great noise too.

I didn't realize they made these till a few months back.I must've slept through 87 or so.

Thanks for posting, great review on one of the best Buick cars (that even shook up the Corvette).

I'm with you on that. I like a strong 4 or 6-cylinder just as much as a good V8 or bigger. I've had 4-cylinder turbo cars that ran 13-second 1/4 miles, and N/A V6 cars that did the same. There is something to be said for having a big engine that just loafs around at under 2000 rpms on the highway. The Grand Nationals are legendary for upsetting the established order of blow-hard muscle car "v8 only" guys. I like that.

0-60 in 5.9?! That's fast by today's standards and for an 87' that's great gas mileage, great car.

I have the 91 Regal custom (3.8L V6) Still runs strong. Wont buy a new car until it dies. 22 year old car gets excellent gas mileage and still has no major mechanical problems at 114000 miles.

kyle's videos are getting more informative everytime he uploads a new vid

This is quite possibly the best sounding v6 I've ever heard.

Thank you Kyle!

I remember my great grandfather having a white-on-blue Riviera T-Type, which had that same steering wheel, and probably the same 3800 turbo engine. As for the Grand National, I've honestly never seen one on the road that wasn't in at least good condition. It seems that the owners have always known what rare and valuable cars these are.
