1987 Buick GN

Buick Grand National 1987 Description

THIS GN WAS PURCHASED NEW AT FRIEDMAN BUICK IN MAYFIELD HEIGHTS OHIO. A GENTLEMAN IN HIS LATE 50’S PURCHASED THE GN FOR HIMSELF AND HIS WIFE TO ENJOY, BUT ENDED UP BEING RARELY DRIVEN. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN THE RAIN OR THE SNOW AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY STORED IN A HEATED GARAGE.

MY FATHER PURCHASED THE CAR 8 YEARS AGO FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAS PUT LESS THAN 125MILES ON THE CAR. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 1,493. THE ORIGINAL SPEEDO WAS SWAPED AT 332 MILES AND THE MILEAGE ON THE NEW SPEEDO SHOWS 1182, SO ACTUAL ACCUMULATED MILEAGE IS 1,514

THE CAR IS NOT COMPLETELY STOCK, AND HAS BEEN MODIFIED SLIGHTLY, BOTH MECHANICALLY AND COSMETICALLY. WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW WITH 332 MILES, THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE.

• THE ORIGINAL OWNER’S WIFE HAD TERRIBLE ARTHRITIS AND FOR EASE OF USE, A FACTORY GM KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED BY THE ABOVE MENTIONED DEALER. ALONG WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY, THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES AND TRUNK LOCK WERE REMOVED AND SMOOTHED.YOU CANNOT TELL THAT THE DOORS OR TRUNK HAVE BEEN PAINTED AS THIS WAS DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW.

• ALL EXTERIOR EMBEMS WERE REMOVED

• THE FACTORY 85 MPH GUAGE CLUSTER WAS REPLACED WITH A 145 MPH CLUSTER (ORIGINAL CLUSTER COMES WITH CAR)

• A 2 ¼AFTERMARKET STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. THIS SYSTEM EXITS THE CAR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE FACTORY SYSTEM.

• A COMPUTER CHIP WAS INSTALLED, ALONG WITH A K&N AIR FILTER. I DO NOT HAVE THE DETAILS ON WHAT CHIP WAS INSTALLED.

ALTHOUGH THESE MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE, I BELIEVE IT WAS MORE FOR SHOW THAN ANYTHING, AS THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS CAR WAS EVER RACED OR EVEN BEAT ON. WITH ALL OF THE ADDITIONAL PARTS AND BOOKS THAT CAME WITH THE CAR, YOU CAN TELL IT WAS MORE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP.

THE CONDITION OF THE CAR IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANY FLAWS. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NON SMOKER CAR, THE CARPET HAS ALWAYS HAD CARPET INSERTS BETWEEN THE FLOORMATS AND THE CARPET, THE INTERIOR SHOWS NO WEAR OR STAINS. THE TRUNK IS PERFECT. THE UNDERBODY IS PERFECTLY CLEAN AS IS THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE BODY AND PAINT IS PERFECT, NO DOOR DINGS OR SCRATCHES. IT IS LIKE A NEW CAR.

THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES PERFECTY, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT A NEW CAR TO, EVERYTHING WORKS AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES.

THE CAR HAS TONS OF OPTIONS AND APPEARS TO BE FULLY LOADED, PLEASE SEE PICTURES OF THE WINDOW STICKER FOR OPTIONS ON THE CAR.
