After success in the NASCAR Winston Cup, Buick wanted to capitalize on their winning stock car model the Regal Grand National. Using the motto of “what wins on Sunday, sells on Monday” as marketing philosophy, these cars became very successful alternatives to the muscle cars other American manufactures offered. It claimed the fastest US production car manufactured in 1986 too. This Grand National is in very good condition, all of the distinguishing Grand National markings are still in place and in great condition. Painted in all black, the car received the nickname of “Darth Vader” from Motor Trend since almost every exterior part was blacked-out. The paint is in good condition with minor sun blemishes however no noticeable scratches are present. All of the body panels are straight and true, along with the removable T-tops. Interior: Black cloth with grey cloth inserts bucket seats with the “Turbo 6” embroidered, in excellent condition Sport steering wheel, small cracks in leather grip Grand National instrument cluster with a tachometer and boost gauge Original Delco AM/FM radio Electronic touch climate control Power windows Scan Master wired in, allows accurate readings for properly tuning the engine Exterior: Grand National chrome wheels Dual exhaust system Grand National emblems and stickers Removable tinted T-top’s Original cast aluminum 15” Grand National wheels Aurora 215/65R15 tires, with minor wear Horizontal blacked out barred grille Mechanical: LC2 3.8L Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) Turbocharged V6 TBO348 turbocharger Air-to-air intercooler GM Turbo Hydramatic 4-speed automatic transmission Front vented disc brakes & rear drum brakes Independent coil-spring front suspension Live rear axle with coil-springs 3:42 rear-end ratio Driving this 1986 Grand National is a throw-back to the early days of forced induction in mass produced cars. The set-up was innovative and effective, allowing Buick to stand out from the crowd of small and big block V8’s that were equipped to American performance cars of the time. These cars appeal wasn’t understood by most people, but for those who knew what this turbocharged V6 was capable of, it soon obtained a cult following. http://www.facebook.com/stlclassiccars http://www.instagram.com/motoexotica http://www.twitter.com/motoexotica636
