For Sale: 1986 Buick Grand National in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1986 Buick Grand National For 21 years before NASCAR started selling naming rights in 1971, its top stock-car racing championship was known as the Grand National, and the name lingered in public usage long after the series officially became the Winston Cup.
Ten years later, Darrell Waltrip raced factory-backed Buick Regals to claim back-to-back championships in 1981 and '82.
So, it was in keeping with division general manager Lloyd Reuss's thrust to move Buick's image from a maker of cushy doctors' cars to something more youthful and exciting when it unveiled the first Regal Grand National at NASCAR's 1982 Daytona 500.
For consignment, a 1986 Buick Grand National, named for the NASCAR series prior to it becoming the Winston Cup.
A square and rectangle iconic design all dressed up in menacing black.
Exterior is in nice condition, the interior is good, and the engine is strong.
It's all looking good for this 1986 example, a true classic in the NASCAR sense.
Exterior Literally all black drapes this car from stem to stern with some areas of respray, leading with the slightly raked back front egg crate grille, square headlights, (dual duals), with like new bezels, and a nice body matching front bumper below.
A slightly bumped hood, more black window trimmings around original glass, well minded gaps at the doors and steel panels, and a nifty small opera window for the B pillar.
Another body matching rear bumper with clean filler panels, and above a small integrated trunk lid spoiler.
Racy but tasty, a sedan you can take for a night on the town, or run against some competition if you are feeling frisky.
15-inch polished wheels add some bling to the bottom.
Front rubber is 235/60R15 and rears are 255/60R15's from the 32nd week of 2005.
Also noted is the T topped roof with removable smoked glass panels sitting within like new rubber surrounds, no leaks here.
Interior Very nice and very racy with high back buckets in velour broadcloth with light gray tuck and roll inserts, and black bolsters surrounded by black piping.
A rear bench with the same design, and these all float in a sea of black carpet which is very clean and like new.
Door panels and dash as well as center console are formed from gray/black carpet, molded plastic and some more crushed velour in gray tones.
A square and rectangle dash in gray with a black panel for the instruments fronts an original steering wheel.
The dash is very clean and well preserved.
The doors show power window and power door lock toggles, and in the center of the seats, the console houses the shift lever, and a square glovebox.
A digital radio panel hovers above the console and mounts into the center of the dash.
Headliner is minimal due to the roof panels, but all looking clean and green, well gray actually.
Drivetrain A flip of the hood, and a nifty BUICK logo with Turbocharged monicker silk screened into the hood liner hovers above the beautifully preserved engine.
It is all original, all numbers matching and presents as a 3.
8 liter V6 turbo that pumps 245 horses.
It has an intercooler for the turbo, and is fed by EFI.
A numbers matching 200R4 4-speed automatic is behind this turbo mill, and in back, a 10 bolt 8.
5 inch posi rear axle with 3.
42 gears is on.
The only changes from original are the brake booster and heater core.
Undercarriage Underneath we see all being rust free, and well preserved with solid floor pans and toe kicks, frame, and drip free bottom end of the engine and transmission.
Independent suspension with coil springs upfront, along for the ride are power disc brakes.
On the back this suspension is a 4 link with coil springs, and power drums are along for this ride.
The dual exhaust is straight from the factory.
Drive-Ability Hopping in, I felt like I was at Daytona but with a tuxedo on ready to go out to an expensive dinner and be driven by a chauffeur.
Racy mixes with class and she fired right up, and accelerated very nicely with the intercooled turbo.
Braking was nice and straight, and handling was snappy with a great ride.
All functions were working, and the AC blewcold.
The best of this car is in two different coats.
Ona a black overcoat for a night on the town, and the other a black mask for a night at the track, It's nice to have both, and all in very nice condition.
The engine is very clean and original, and the rear suspension works wonderfully.
