    Under 200 of these unusual cars were built by Buick for 1987. Note that these cars do not "shut off" at 124 mph like all Turbo Regals do, indicating a special eprom chip. Numerous part numbers and codes on the motor and transmission are unique only to this model. The car was equipped with some strange options including: a 145 MPH speedometer; white body stripes; an unusual number on the decklid, indicating it was from some kind of fleet... none of which were found on regular production Regals. The car was track tested and ran 8.62 seconds at 78.92 mph in the 1/8 mile!


    1987 GRAND NATIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE

    • Gloss Black Exterior with Special White Stripes and Trunk Decklid Identification
    • Detailed Gray Interior with Console Automatic Shifter
    • Opening "Power Bulge" Hood revealing Plumbed & Wired 3.8 L Turbo Buick Powerplant
    • Buick GN Turbo 6 Emblems on Front Quarter Panels
    • Soft-touch Radials with Grand National Wheels
    • Accurately Detailed Undercarriage

    Will do Louie. (Thank You)

    If anyone is considering one of these please contact me soon. These are selling way faster than GMP figured. My batch is half gone already and they've only been on the website for 4 hours!!

    I know that sounds like a sales pitch but if you remember when GMP first produced the Standard 1987 GN's they sold out right away and we're bringing $200 plus on E-Bay!!

    Thank you.

    Guys,

    The only way to "Officially" Pre-Order one of these is to fill out my Secure Online Order Form or call me with your shipping & billing information. My online order form is simple but secure!

    If you pre-order one with a credit card I will NOT charge your card until the cars are in stock and ready to ship. If you want to send in a Money Order for one that is fine to but then you're paying for the item prior to its arrival.
    Either way is fine but I have to have your info on file to "Officially" reserve one for you. I'm trying to avoid having to contact everyone the day they arrive. I'd be on the phone half the day with as many as I have coming in. Plus as previously mentioned these are selling fast enough that if you wait until they come in, it may be to late. Over half of my batch has already pre-sold and it's only the first day they've been on the website.

    Here is a direct link to my Ordering Information Page. It should answer any questions you may have regarding the ordering process as well as my shipping practices and warranty information. The Online Order Form can also be accessed from this page.

    Thanks for the interest. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

    Thank You Mark. I did receive the order and as mentioned you will not be billed until they're here and ready to ship. I'll pack your car with care as well prior to shipping.

    I've sent you a Pre-Order confirmation to your e-mail address for your records.

    Thanks again, I appreciate the order.

    Phil It really *is* a 350...

    Back in '88 I had the opportunity to see one of these FBI Grand Nationals up close. I don't recall any white striping or numbers on the deck lid. I know it had a government plate. It also had the red/blue lights mounted in the rear window upper/lower corners and in the grille area if I remember right.

    I saw the car in Louisville KY on my way home to Indiana from Ft. Knox for the weekend.

    I received your order so you're all set.

    GMP is already sold out of these. (Even though they're not here yet)

    Hi Louie,

    I received your order. (Thank You)

    I'm not sure which 82 GN you're requesting though ?

    Do you have a stock number ? ( I don't have an 82 GN in my inventory that I can tell ? ? ?)

    1 left as of this morning.

    I do have another source I may be able to get more from. GMP is sold out but I have a couple other Wholesalers that stock the GMP Product line.
    I'll check on that today.

    For now though, just one left!
