CLASSIC! 1987 Buick Grand National - walkaround, sound, hard acceleration!!
Jamboolio records Buick's last true muscle car, the stunning 1987 Buick Grand National. This rare turbo V6 beauty, often referred to as the "Darth Vader's Car", was one of the fastest American-made cars of its time with 0-60 time of under 5 seconds, which is quick even by todays standard. Only the Chevrolet Corvette could get close to these figures back in the day. The engine is a 3.8 Liter turbocharged & Intercooled V-6.
Here's an overview of the car, a few driving shots, Exhaust sound and hard acceleration with powerslide at the end. Enjoy!

1987 Buick Grand National
This car doesn't belong to me. It belongs to my parents who have put plenty of effort into it. Credit is given to the respected artists on the songs used.

1987 Buick Grand National STK # 934
Buick produced some powerful car throughout the years and this 1987 Buick Grand National is no different. Buick had a hot car with this 3.8L V6 SFI turbocharged engine under the hood backed up by the stock automatic transmission. This GN has all the appointments that a GN should have with the badges, floor mats, hood mat and embossed headrests. The T-tops are in great condition along with the T-top bags in the trunk. Inside is cold A/C, AM/FM/CD player, cruise control, seatbelts, tilt steering wheel, cloth interior, power door locks, power seats and power windows. To stop this performance marvel are power brakes and power steering for easy handling. Outside on the blacked out exterior are Grand National rims with center caps and radial tires. If you would like more details give us a call today at toll free (866) 542-8392 or (704) 598-2130. We also welcome visitors to our Charlotte, NC showroom every day.

1987 Buick Grand National VS 2010 V6 Chevy Camaro 1/4 Mile run 2010
Been working on my GN with my friends for the past two years and decided to give her a run for the first time at a local cruise night. Not being at the track in years I didn't know where to stage and didn't have time to build Boost...but 12.1 in 1/4 is a good start. It's a 1987 Buick Grand National with 26k original miles with stock motor and a few bolt on. The paint and interior are all stock.
