Q: where can i buy a 1987 buick grand national for a really cheap price?
hi im 17 and i really like this car and i only have 1200$ saved but i can get 500 more.i want to buy this car to make it my first project car it doesn’t matter how the body is as long as it comes with the original engine.i live in florida btw.thanks for your time and please help me on this.

A: Even though the Buick turbo Regal Grand Nationals are getting close to 25 years old they remain a very strong collectible. Finding one cheap isn’t going to be easy. Even complete basket cases are going for $5000 or more. If you can’t afford to buy one, how on earth do you think you are going to afford to restore one. You could easily put $10,000 into this car and still not be done.

You may love these cars but as a first car you should look elsewhere for something a little more practical.

Q: does any body know where i could buy a 1986-87 buick grand national engine?
how much do they cost and if they are worht it? thanks

A: you could try around your wreckers yards they might know where to get one from or try on EBAY price will depend on condition and how complete you need it plus then you have the labor to get it fitted and then it is your choice to go ahead with it or not but it should work out cheaper than buying a new car

Q: My boyfriend recently bought an ‘86 Buick Grand National…?
He has been working on the car and fixing it up and for the last step he wants to have it painted. the car is black, of course, but for Christmas I wanted to have the car repainted black. About how much should this cost? I don’t want to spend a fortune but I don’t want to get ripped off either. Thanks so much for helping me out!

A: $2000-$3000

Q: I have an 82 Buick Grand National to sell what’s the best way to sell this rare vehicle?
This car is one of 215 made the first year they made the Grand National – it’s a T-Type with less then 60,000 original miles – everything is original except the battery – It’s very rare as there are only about 100 still owned. Unfortunately my husband doesn’t know enough to give it the love it needs. Would like to sell it to a collector or someone that restores them but don’t know how to find someone that would know what they are buying… if anyone has any suggestions they would be welcome… Thanks

A: Hot August Nights is coming up in Reno NV. All sorts of car buffs will be in town, and they hold auctions for selling and buying vehicles!

Q: buick grand national accesories?
I want to buy my bf something like a grand nationa lt-shirt or something like that but I cant find anything online anyone have any ideas to where I could find one?

A: google found

http://www.gncollector.com/
which plans to sell exactly what you are asking for, but isn’t yet. They sent me to

http://stores.ebay.com/CUSTOM-AUTO-APPAREL_GM-LICENSED-BUICK-APPAREL_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ13187706QQftidZ2QQtZkm
which is an eBay store, but has nothing in this category at present

The first site offers a number of other things for the bng, just no apparel.

Or you might get a custom t-shirt, but that’s probably more money.
Oh, yes! google t-shirts, custom – and you’ll find a lot of hits

Q: Original chip for the Buick Grand National?
Sometime in the 90’s there was a recall on the computer chip for the 1987 Buick Grand National. The original was far superior. My first question is how can I find the part number for the original chip and would the chip be labeled so I could identify it as the original? Secondly, I would like any ideas as to how I can get my hands on an original chip. Please help! By the way Buick can’t help me without a VIN which I don’t have. Once I get the chip or can verify that a car has the original in it, I will buy the car.

A: ask these guys, they would know..

Q: Whats the difference between a 87 buick regal and a grand national?
i am buying a regal tomorrow and it looks just like a grand national so i was wondering?

A: the Grand National has a turbo charger and only 2 doors, there is a GNX that’s even faster..

Q: Buick Grand National GN 3.8L Turbo GOOD !!!!!!!!?
should i buy that and upgrade my GN?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250149318688&rd=1

A: Yes the GN is one hell of a car. I helped a friend who buit a regal into his own GN, and it was an excellent all around car with a few bolt ons.

Plus they hold there value like a fat man hold on to a donut.

Q: Which car would be the best to buy/the best investment as well?
I’m having trouble deciding whether to buy a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 or 454, or a 1987 Buick Grand National or GNX….let me know what you think or if you have any other suggestions.

A: It’s a pretty subjective question.
My opinion? The Road Runner is the best eye candy.

Q: Are these cars going to appreciate in value and become the next muscle car classics?
84-88 Monte Carlo SS
78-81 Camaros and Firebirds
Buick Grand Nationals
I guess any of those late seventies early eighties muscle cars that are still affordable, I’m seriously contemplating on buying one and wanna know if they are good investments…THNX

A: yes im sure they will in time as for the grand national, these cars hold a great value right now and if the car stays in mint condition the value will only go up with time

Q: What’s a good project car?
Hello to all…I am a teenager that is going to buy a project car pretty soon. I need some feedback on one that I should pick.
The choices are:
65-67 Mustang fastback
70-71 plymouth cuda
68-69 charger
70-71 challenger
87 buick grand national

I am a huge mopar fan but the car I get won’t need too much work and I’ll only do little things like body work and change the engine and transmission. I would like to keep the car original looking but also maybe give it some what of a modern look…

Thanks for the relpys :)

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.yoll.net

Q: Will Buick ever shake its “old man car” rep, they now look like they want to be a US equivalent to Lexus?
Anyone see that Buick crossover ad, with the cliche art house director prancing around acting like a pretentious d-bag while they tried to film a commercial and make the car look cool? It sure didn’t win me over any bit towards wanting a Buick. Its a shame Buick won’t go back to its two part luxe/performance reputation like it had as recent as the 80’s what with the Regal and Grand National/GNX models. My grandma had a mid 80s Regal and it was both plush and sporty. If they stuck to this they wouldn’t have any trouble selling cars. Now they seem to be dead set on being a ersatz domestic Lexus equivalent, and their recent offerings are just slightly more chromed up variants of the generic GM front wheel drive econo-sleds General Motors seems to be convinced are still the ‘ihhhhsh with the car buying public. Do they not have focus groups of motorists? Is nobody there watching market trends?
No I am down for the old school pimp-ride tricked out Buick, I am talking about modern Buicks, like the Lucerne and that weirdo crossover thing. My grandma had a sick Regal coupe back in the 80s it had a white leather roof and she had it in this mint green paint on white leather seats that felt more comfortable than furniture. Buicks like that are more fresh than new Buicks in my opinion.

A: while buick will probably never regain its reputation, it really doesnt need to. Cadillac has that chunk of the market covered quite well.

the main reason buick still exists is due to their incredible popularity in china. theyre considered the coolest thing around in the chinese market for some unknown reason. theyre EVERYWHERE over there.

Q: Should i get a truck or a car?
i am 16and have a learners permit and will be getting a provisional next month. currently i have a job at a mechanics shop and am getting a little experience with the tools of the trade, i do not plan on making a living as a mechanic just a temporary job as cars is a hobby. me and my uncle were going to restore a classic car for me but he has passed on and i am still sticking to it. with the economy and even my wallet obviously i cant afford a dodge charger or chevelle ss even if it needs to be restored. i want it to be a daily driver with some muscle, i will be driving to work and school, and the when high schools done im going into the coast guard, so it will go in storage. im not looking to restore to showroom or restore to sell, just get all body work and rust, adecent painjob and an engine redo if needed i want a small block v8 for better gas, i dont need that 440 6 pack, like i said it will be a daily driver. im looking at the plymouth dusters, buick skylarks with the 350 2bbl, and the 63-64 ford galaxys, or the 84-87 regal t types. grand nationals, being a daily driver that can handle a little beating i wouldnt mind going for the satellite instead or the gtx or cutlass instead of the 442. my parents have a third vehicle they offered to me, a nissa frontier 2003, which i can use for the time being, i have also always wanted a 1994-98 ford f250 or 350 powerstroke truck which can be had for under 6 grand, my parents said i could sell the nissan which we found to be worth around 7-8 grand and buy a dodge cummins or ford powerstroke truck. i would not sell the truck for money for a car because we still need a truck. so should i get a classic car, maybe i could get a great deal on a charger or cuda that someone needs some quick cash but thats unlikely, and i keep my eyes peeled on hemmigs, or should i get a truck? im kinda leaning towards a car because there still is a truck if needed and i can always get a powerstroke or cummins for under 10k with decent mileage

A: trucks are a mans best friend…. there is always a time where will eventually need one so its a smart choice but also u can get one later after you save seeing that you prob wont need a truck real soon.

if you are looking for a really nice classic car look for a 1972 dodge charger. its beast
