I have owned this 1987 Buick Regal Grand National since 12-29-86.  I purchased it new at Red Rose Buick in Lancaster PA . Last year I sold my 1974 Plymouth Road Runner that I had owned for 30 years. I've lost interest in the hobby and have decided to let this GN go to a new home. I had always wanted a GNX so when I decided to redo the car in 2008. I added and/or replaced the following:

 Suspension consists of :
       KYB shocks , GSCA coil springs , new swaybar bushings front and rear ,driveshaft loop.
Transmission:
       100% stock untouched except for regular fluid and filter changes.
Rear end :
       100% stock with airbags in the coil springs
       Factory aluminum brake drums
       Posi unit added in 1987
       Regular fluid changes
Fuel system contains:
       Red Armstrong XP fuel pump in the NOS fuel tank with hot wire kit.
       43 lb. Green stripe fuel injectors
       Adjustable aluminum fuel pressure regulator
Besides tons of original  documentation I also have the original wheels , center caps and lug nuts. These were removed from the car in 1990 with well under 30,000 miles on them . The chrome and black paint on these are in great shape. I have the original wheel opening moldings ,door edge guards , air cleaner assembly , fuel injectors, regulator,thermostat housing and factory computer chips and lot's more.

This GN was never beat or abused. It was drag raced in the late 80's into the early 90's with maybe a dozen total passes made . Car went 12.98 back then with only a Kenne -Bell chip , ram air , 160 degree thermostat and a test pipe with Yokohama tires. Has not been raced since that time or since the modifications that were added in the above listing. Only time this engine was apart , was for a timing chain and gears along with a new water pump many years ago and for new valve springs. Car runs very strong and rides great.  It was never smoked in and has been garage kept most of it's life.

Unresolved issues with car at this point:
 1)GNX style dash has a slight bleed through of the red light underneath indicating a charging issue. Just a little annoying but you don't notice it much during the day. The alternator is charging 100% though.
 2)The dashes red lights surrounding the gauges do not dim with the switch and are either on or off.
 3) Oil leaks from engine like ALL Turbo Buicks.
 4) A lot of wind noise from the NOS seals around windows. Buyer can reinstall the repo's and have the windows adjusted. The repo's sealed perfectly  - go figure !
 5)Cruise and wiper washer not working. 
 6) Engine compartment could use some detailing and cleaning.

 Anyone in need of extra picture's please contact me .I have nothing to hide on this beautiful 1 owner GN/GNX and will answer any and all questions as honestly as I can. I'm going to hate to see this car go to a new owner but, I realize that it's time to move on .
