- This was such a fun episode to shoot! My friend Frankie has built an over the top Grand Natonal powered by a blown LSX, fully caged, suspension, etc. This is a full blown race car that is streetable and street legal. Watch us drift it, do donuts and take a walk through the radical details of this build.
Enjoy!!

I had 2 GN sleepers back in the early 90s:
modded '87 Turbo T with chrome trimming, bench seat, column shifter' and a 84 Cutlass with full 87 GN modded drivetrain.
I rarely had anything pass me from 0 to 100 on the street with the 3:73 gears and worked 200R4.
*Car has a kick ass suspension to be able to drift and corner like that with NO BODY ROLL. It's definitely doing what a $250K car is supposed to.*
They built a serious car here. The purists hate it but I love the set up and the look personally
@@AutotopiaLA I agree, they covered everything and spared no expense. Very well planned build for sure.
Grand National/T-Type minus V6 turbo engine= Not a Grand National/T-Type; just a Regal
Exactly
Worlds gonna end for that mistake huh?
@@juniorjr9011 yes got damn it!!
thank you.
Those cars were made to go fast no matter what you do to it just has the look of a performance car. Buick knew what they were doing back in the day.
Bass Buick, awesome build
It’s a beast. We’re going to reshoot it on the streets soon as he’s done a lot more to it
Thanks for the invite, awesome morning for sure!!
Glad you were there with us having a blast!
Looks so clean.
It looks like the one I built about 4 or 5yrs ago, but mine had way more power...................I did it all on Forza 4 courtesy of Xbox 360.
😂
Lmao
I’m impressed even with it not being in its final stages.
I had an 81 Regal with Monte Carlo 305.
Fun stuff in 1990.
fun today too if you can enjoy something for what it is
*2:40** Let what he said about the buick turbo motor blowing up soak in, that's crazy. I've had 3 turbo buicks, 86 GN, 87 Turbo T and a 1991 gmc sylcone which is basically an S-10 with a grand national engine and I've over boosted and blew up 2 engines but it's always the head gaskets to go on mine. I was running 30 lbs of boost on my 87 turbo t and the head gasket failed which is why I never ran the cometic head gaskets on these engines. Those cometic head gaskets are very good and strong but if you detonate the engine from over boosting or running it too lean they will be hard to blow out and cause the blast to damage something else like the block or piston, etc. Much easier to just replace the gaskets than have to find a new engine.*
He built what he wanted here and I always respect that even if it’s not what others would do. Gotta build the car you want regardless of popularity
Nice REGAL
Cracks me up when people just don't understand that a Grand National does not and should not have a V8.
Facts its just a regal now
That thing is Nasty! Dream car
Dude, that thing is killer. Thx for that !
Such a badass build!
Absolutely without a doubt Beautiful!!!
Yoooo!!! That's the Get Down, right there! That car got lucky, you broke it and made it better...glad to see a real deal car guy holding this classic g body down... Cool cat.
And he just did another major build to it. Hard to stop Frankie when he gets an idea in his head
Where's the Grand National? bad ass Regal though.
When he grenaded the 6 he went LS. Regal...GN...call it what you want but it’s a badass
@@AutotopiaLA Btw how would you compare the acceleration on this one to Jerry's 900hp GN. Also can you get Detroit Speed's Z28 on your channel?
Very different cars and I didn’t get to drive this one. And I’d love to get their Z28! Will give it a shot and see what happens...
Man I absolutely love it
That’s something you don’t see every day.. cool car cool video cool dude😎👍🏾
And he’s rebuilt almost the whole car since we shot it last. Now it’s over 1200 hp!!
Those cars are awesome
And this one is built so well.
Golf club trunk support, badass.
Hell yeah man. Well said brother. Well said.
You where right. Awesome build
That car is such a badass Ross!!
AutotopiaLA I would love a go in that. Seriously that’s friggin awesome
Bro, please please don’t kill that car. I’m saving my money right now to by it. Please.
CARRO FODA!!!!!!!!!
T-Type cars that had the Grand National package were all black with GN badges. Otherwise, they were just T-Types with the Regal Turbo package.
That aside, awesome build.
Bad ass car. My friend Ryan built all of the SpeedTech parts on that car.
Very cool! This is a no bullshit go throw down hard car. Really impressed.
Freaking sweeeet car!!!!
That car look's and sound crazy. Bad to the Bone.. Had 2 Grand National from Dennis Kirban in the 1990.
This thing is a beast and you can see it on Fastest Car season 2
How to make a small fortune with a race car ... First step: spend a huge fortune. Step two: enjoy your small fortune.
Exactly!!
Bad ass
What happened?! Did dude crash on his way over to the shoot? That Regal is an embarrassment. Shout out to p2 performance, love the incomplete fabrication. Nice inner fender wells, too. But I give you credit for ditching the V6 and saving those blocks for those of us that can actually tune and make em scream. I love the, I had a built motor that wasn't tuned and I didn't know the boost level. That's all I needed to know. Showing off is the fool's idea of glory, nerd.
Love this car. One of my current cars is a Regal that i'm fashioning to be like this machine. Mind you I have a fraction of the resources, and I'm building it myself...picture this car, except a junior version. A little brother if you will.
mynameis63 cool! Looking forward to seeing little brother!!
Very cool. And cool owner as well! Switch to Ohlins or Motons for shocks, u won’t regret it. get a suspension shot next time from underneath.
Dam, why not just use a Regal? They just totally chopped up a rare and beautiful car. What a shame!
Simple as this...the owner built the car he wanted...and I hear you 👊
@@AutotopiaLA yea IMO i love Wide body/rocket bunny styles but i know tons of others who will go out of their way to call out wide body lovers and hate on them. people who hate others for cosmetic preference are the dumbest people to ever touch the internet "if it doesn't have a spoiler its not a race car" or "if your wheel isn't a deep dish wheel then you aren't a drifter" which are both absurd ways of thinking.
my be i didnt catch it but where can we follow this build likke social media?
IG watch for @frankietru and @p2fabrication
i thought for sure this was going to be the FASTEST CAR.
regal t-type grand national or what ever
it's still a beautiful car
I did too. Glad he smoked the “Supercar” !!
WTH. this vid has been out for a week and only has 1231 views..I'm gonna share to the book of faces..we gotta get Shawn's channel more exposure.
Thanks bro. It got hurt on its views since I had to pull it down and edit out something I said that I wasn’t supposed to say about Fastest Car. I appreciate your support on our channel. Seriously.
My 70/71/77 camaro restomod has most of what he has and I got 65k in it now and a long way to go
I would have called it good ..love it's mean looks.
This one is a badass. It’s not a true GN but I love how deep he went into the build. Cage. Motec. Sequential. Mean build
Would love to see an update on this finished
Wow
Yep...I said that a lot the day we shot this beast
It's cool to see stuff I build grafted to other cars.
What parts are yours?
The Speedtech front clip and possibly the upper control arms.
AutotopiaLA careful telling Ryan he does good work. His head will blow up. LOL
Oh, I mean it was ok. You know, not bad at all 😂😂😂
I heard he had to weld a custom sized welding helmet because they don’t make them big enough
13:13 says it all ;-p
Pretty much sums it up
A 150k gbody!!!
And climbing
i imagine GNX to be black, clean AF and with boosted L6 in it. nevertheless this drift scorch is cool too
Slight Overdoze when he’s done this one will be clean AF. Still sorting all the mechanical. Keep watching. We’ll do another episode when it’s complete and looking pretty.
yes sir!
Would look better with the grille and bumpers installed. T-Type not a GN.
Yep. It was still in progress. He had it finished on the new season of Fastest Car on Netflix. I think he’s in episode 5
I will probably over do it cause i really dig the gnx upgraded to the.highest degree to the lab i go
Wondered where it went to. Trying show it off earlier.
Rodcodnito 00 said some things I wasn’t supposed to at the end...Fast*** C*r got upset.
Hate to be a killjoy but it's just not a Grand National without the turbo v6. America has always loved an underdog and nobody gave the original Grand National any respect until it was kicking everybody's ass at the track who had a V8. That is what made it such a special package from the beginning. Taking nothing away from the fact that the car in this video is a kickass G-body, it's still not a Grand National.
I get it
LMAO. it's the best version of a grand national.. the LS v8 shits all over that crappy iron v6 of the 80s... get outta here you party pooper... v8>v6
Ten Second BuickGN Facts. 💯.
Seen this guy on that Netflix show
Yep. 2nd season
Hôôôoo yeee one buik lsx y love it the cars the look the one chevy monte carlos no
Ls swapping a grand national is like ls swapping a Toyota Supra
If you’re gonna V8 swap and paint it, why not get a base Regal? It’s not a Grand National anymore if you change those things. UNLESS, it’s a T-Type/Turbo T. Then it can be any color. Since the badging are T-Type badges, I’m assuming it’s not a Grand National
Everyone likes to call their regal a Grand National. Grand Nationals only come in black, and don't say t-type on the side.
Yep. Since shooting this car I’ve learned a bunch more about them. Just shot a Turbo T a couple days ago.
Wierd even the owner kept calling it a GN. Clearly it was a T-type.
Really? Even Buick said 1 GNX was made in White Paint.
@@craigschulz1852 I don't think that's accurate. Where are you hearing this?
So to answer your question yes I’m going to take my Camaro
james burke awesome!!
Why would you take the motor out that’s what made it special
I drift a buick regal,, had roughly about 10k money total into it. looks like this one isnt setup very well to drift.. just powerspins
It’s not set up to drift at all. They were trying to have it work for multiple applications but it doesn’t do drift well at all
@@AutotopiaLA what are the other applications? wonder what the issue is that it struggles in drift, weird that it would be fine otherwise as well
Thank you Frankie.
Frankie is a badass!!
What's this bad boy weigh?
En France il y a une dodge charger 69 daytona is one cars drift yes look the you tub one cars charger drift
Its just a G body with a LS motor. It's not a Buick Grand National
Man, lots of salty purists here... fact is there are hardly any "regular" regal survivors today cause they were just crap 80's GM cars - only the turbo models (GN, TType/Turbo T, limited, etc) were taken care of. And news flash, they were also crap 80's GM cars at their core - only with a potent drive train for the day. 800hp is about the limit for the 3.8 without big money being spent, if you want more than that in a steetable / reliable package, boosted LS is the way to go. Let the prurists enjoy the taillights of your "nice regal" ;)
No V6 no Grand National. Its just a T type body cover everything else has nothing to do with Buick. It's a large bank account on Wheels
Agreed it’s not a GN...I’ve learned a lot about GN’s since shooting this but it’s a hell of a build nonetheless
So it's just a regular 80's regal now... the owner should take the car badges off
Regular? Not so much. GN? Nope. But this is a seriously built car
Yes you can you can build a car cheaper than that in your driveway
I’m sure you can. I’ve seen some “backyard” builds that for either way...really good and really bad. If you know how to build I’d imagine almost anywhere can work.
You could build it for less than 1/4. Guy in the video simply likes to buy expensive parts and dimple die them so he can talk about it.
Fight me.
It doeant cost that much to build a gbody haha. Mine was cheap. Less than 10k in build.
This engine build is more than $10K dude
Dude your shit is garage built, or junkyard built, this dudes masterpiece is made with high quality parts and a lot his parts were cnc machined which costs a fucking fortune
Please sold mie the cars Just one for mie is the reve one buik is for sale the cars yes ho yes please sir yes
No good...3.8L can make to 800 hp as well but you trashed 3.8...
That’s why I keep my V6 4.3 in my Syclone and built it like crazy, 700-800hp!
Don’t know if you watched the vid but he grenaded the original motor. Once that happened is was all bets off and this vehicle was born.
AutotopiaLA if he built it correct then it should be fine for long runs.
I’m getting bored with LS
Understood. They just work so well though.
AutotopiaLA if it’s regular Regal, cutlass or MC it’s no big deal. I’m sure my syclone would still kill that GN with a LS V8. LS in a collection turbo V6 vehicles is big NO to me.
I know LS are cheap route and no talent.
V6 with a lotta of HP are expensive and talent. I chose that. Lol
You should check my video on my channel. I haven’t take update videos in my Syclone since previous was 6262 precision but it has a new 6766 precision turbo, deleted AC/power steering, Holley Dominator EFI, Renz upper intake, headers, huge air to air IC and etc. I just drove it today and it’s nasty & killed 69 Chevelle easily.
Dr.Syclone going to check it out now...
Ruined this car with a v8......I hate it when people do these cars that are iconic by cars with a la motor.....not a gan of this car......The v8 ruined it for me and would much rather see one with the original setup.....
Check out the others we’ve shot...all badass V6 builds
It's not a Grand National just a Regal with a V8 stop fronting put that up against my well-built grand national I will drag that shit
Chevy power? If you wanted a Monte Carlo, why not just buy one instead of ruining a GN?
When the motor went he swapped it rather than rebuilding
What a waste
Why? The original motor blew up so he went all in. Chassis, cage, sequential, big power...not understanding the waste part personally
Blasphemy Period. Not a Grand National anymore.
Its a just a run of the mill regal nothing special definitely no GN no 6=👎
Way to ruin ur car man
Meh... ruined a beatriz classic
As an owner of a Grand National, I can assure you it ain't one. Just a hot rod'd G body. I'm ashamed that I gave you a view.
I must admit I still don't get the fascination of drifting. Lots of burned up tires & smoke. I thought you Millennials cared about the environment? I guess that stops when it comes to your playtime, right?
First off...I’m 54 so I’m not a millennial. 2nd is sorry for your shame...we shoot vehicles that we think are cool builds regardless of others opinions. Call it what you want, this build goes deeper than most are willing to go
