It's a sleeper they said.. Them thiccc boys don't make the car look sleeper
just gotta swap the tires, no blower sticking out of the hood.
Those Buicks will always be a treasure
have a 1989 turbo trans all original with 6kmiles, yes 6000 miles documented; will trade or sell for a minty GN or GNX. I am in PA. I have had many Buick turbos and looking for a change. My car comes with the original Goodyear gator back tires with OEM wheels that are like new. the car sits on a set of newer Goodyear z rated tires 17 inch Budnik wheels made in USA
@@jimsworthow531 nice ! Thanks man but I'll pass. I can't own something that nice. It's too minty for me.. I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. If you catch my drift 😂.
@@MOE13576 thanks for the response friend.
The thought of a GN as a sleeper is ... amusing.
Love this build, and especially the dash. What a nice, clean way to get the guages!
Well done, boys.
It seems like the term "sleeper" means less and less everyday lmao
Hahaha! Exactly.
what they mean is no big chrome blower sticking out of the hood, no stripes and spoilers, no NASCAR side boom exhaust. In the 1970's, you really couldn't hide a performance car, but computers and EFI and turbos have changed that game, along with much better tires. and of course, now we know performance when we see it, not because the car has slicks sticking out of the back fenders, a massive California rake, holley blue pumps hanging out the back like fangs, and a stupid Pro Stock hood scoop with headers hanging down like dog balls between the front a arms.
@@albertgaspar627 Front wheels , wheel studs, boosted front plate, huge intercooler, differential .... That exhaust tone is hideous imo. I think they use the word "sleeper" just to get guys like us to comment.
Enjoy watching your videos!!!
When are you going to film GMC SYCLONES AND TYPHOONS?
They are sick. Basically gm's pickup 90s truck
Great car great build, I'm a die hard V8 fan, back in the day I had a 1969 Chevelle SS 396 built motor and trans pushing about 475 Hp those were the original Muscle Cars, still like the Buicks, had one in the 70s with a Wildcat Motor, lots a fun!!!!
I talked a friend of mine into buying one back in 87, I couldn’t afford it. He had a Porsche Carrera at the time, and couldn’t believe how friggin fast that grand national was! I believe back in 87 it was the fastest accelerating car.
Wish I would’ve had some money back then, at least I got to drive his once in a while.
As a 17 year old looking at an '87 GNX, I was extremely pissed off to be told to kick rocks by the salesman. I wish I had money then. Saw the GN's burning up the dragstrip too. Great times!
I'm pretty sure the GNX was the fastest of the 80's. I was 16 in 88 and the GN was feared by everthing else
Love the builds! I have two 1987 Buick Grand National T-tops, one 1987 Buick Grand National hard top! And one 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T Pearl White in San Francisco!
Can never have too many GN videos.
I seen the thumbnail said ohhhhhh shittttt , and clicked immediately! BaddAzzzz!
I remember working in the dealership mid to late eighties and driving these and the T-Types bad ass cars. Would spank those corvettes ass. When GM stopped production of these vehicles, they had these engines left over. They put the left over drive trains in the I believe 20th or 21st Trans Am Anniversary models. They only came in white exterior and tan interior. They were faster that’s the G-Nationals because of the uni-body car. I only saw one come through the dealership I worked at and actually did the PDI on it. Just FYI for all the people that didn’t know this.
I still own my 87 GN w/52k on the clock. His build is very similar to mine but I have a precision 67 turbo and a few more goodies than this one. If you have a GN putting down 600+ to the wheels, not many newer production cars can beat them. Power to weight ratio is a huge factor! I've never lost to a Hellcat, Z06, or even the mustang Gt350. Never ran the Gt 500, YET! NICE CAR AND COOL VIDEO...
true, the new cars are amazing (and I can understand why "the kids don't like the old cars anymore" thing...the LS is 2 decades old, they grew up with that potential sitting in the junkyards for cheap). but with the computers and safety equipment, they're toting around a lot of curb weight, and that's felt on initial tip-in. combined with a small (relatively) displacement, and you've got something like an old DZ 302...feels great on the pull but not so much on the launch if you don't powerbrake it or have a stiff set of gears.
I love the GNs and totally respect this build! The interior is so classic, yet the dash & instrument upgrade looks like the perfect fit, too.
Gloss black saves that square body for sure. Cool ride.
Thank you so much!!!! I LOVE THE BUICK GRAND NATIONALS!!!!!! Those and the IROC Z were HOT in HIGH SCHOOL!!!!
This is on the syclone realm for me. Always hear of em, never see them. Badass build right here. Keep up the great work Shawn!
The Grand National was my favorite car of the 80’s, the burn outs at the end were awesome. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺
“I made faces.” “I think I did too.” Hahaha. Best part of the video.
Best looking G-Body ever made...love the digital screen too.
You gotta love it, especially when they are rebuilt so well!
You can tell by the weld drag wheels that there’s more going on here than stock GN.
No shit
gee is that what gave it away?
I love this channel because it always has some of the nicest Grand Nationals. I love all the classic muscle but the Buick Grand National is my all time favorite car.
That was an enjoyable video … love the relaxed tone with an absokutely righteous car
Absolutely love these GN's...we have alot of them out here in Jersey. Call this guy back when the break in is over
Loving it straight Badass!
And still a much sought after legendary car! Hell yeah🤘🏿
The perfect build the best of both worlds 💯👍
Gotta love a GN!🔥
Awesome video brother! Keep them coming.
Awesome car! Awesome video! You guys inspired us to start our channel with Dutch muscle cars 😄
I've alway liked seeing what I could squeeze out of a six banger! They have good torque and an incredible redline! I have a 3.9 Dakota that is "tweaked" and it blisters asses daily!
buick indy v6 1600hp on methonal.
love love LOVE the GNs !
That's one badass ride
Sick,ride!
Bringing back the Buick! I love this car. It's a boat, but it's a car. I'd personally throw a couple super chargers in instead the turbo, but to each their own!
It's really not that heavy. 3800lb fully loaded. V6 camaro weighs more.
So clean bro
I.m in the UK and do like the grand national as they are inconspicuous and there's nowt wrong with a good v6.Fantastic car credit to the builder.
I’m not a fan of grand nationals, but this deserves some respect.
Thank you ma'am
@@bbc454nos Hahahaha perfect response
Keep bringing out them regals too sikkk!!!🤠👍🏻
Great car,looks cool
One Frenchie CarGuy passed threw here ✌🏼
With passion and respect ⚜️🇨🇵😎🏁👍🏼
Man that GN pulls like a runaway freight train🔧👍
My top3 must-have-cars. These cars are very valuable these days, if you want to buy a mint one.
Turbo is life. 👏👏👏
perfect stance.. love this car
Very good project keep it up
So bad ass
Legendary epitome of 80s muscle! I wish Buick still made bad ass muscle cars like this one.
Keep them turbo buicks videos coming please
Poetry in Motion. And yeah, I'm buying a t-shirt.
lets get it! fire :o
Doesn’t get much more Bad Ass🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fuckin a
That buick is a beast
You can't hate on a GN. You just can't.
It was a real gutsy move for Buick at the time.
@@joeuser2360 Yes, and yet they were avant-garde in their approach. They took a normal car, blacked every single piece of chrome you could find, changed the interior, upgraded the engine and voilà. Imo, the GNX version was the pinnacle of Buick. Pretty fascinating
Welllllllll as cool as they are the one thing I dislike is the sound of the engine.. It sounds like a tractor smh
I like a Grand national
Think if they made one today and be faster than a Ferrari in the quater mile would be well over 100k.
When I was a kid I used to love this car every time I saw it on the road. Never got close to em to hear em. Then everytime I was in a store I always begged my parents to buy me the model. I never knew it was a v6 until my late teens when a gf of mine dad had one. I was so bummed it was a v6. Her dad proved me wrong that v6 were lame. Ever since then I told myself never underestimate a v6 with turbos. This honestly would be the only v6 I’d own tho. Very bad ass looking.
My pops scat pack has right at 500hp I could only imagine what this feels likes to ride in what a beast i love it.
Such an iconic car
Nice Buick 👍
That dash!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love them GN. My dad has a original regal with 71,000 on the clock. It's not a GN. But still a beautiful car! Good episode.
That’s a such iconic car dude...I love it...I would just for once love to see it in another color🙀
Buick T-types were available with the turbo v6 but kept the chrome and you xould get the in other colors
The general stole a page from Henry Fords rulebook in the 80’s. You can have a GN in any color!... as long as it’s black! Now a t-type? Less sinister aimed to be more for the sleeper crowd pleaser. I want my 87 Buick, like I want my coffee!! Like NOW!! 😫

AWESOME
Alas , One of the sexiest body styles GM ever produced . Heavy stomp is awesome too .
These are always cool and I love Jeremy’s builds
I ran 27-32psi on a stock block for almost 100k miles with no issues. Killed the motor when the vacuum line melted to the wastegate and pinned the 45psi gauge.no idea how much boost it actually made, it was a big turbo.
More than enough to have fun on the street shes a beauty
Love the sound ofa big turbo 6
Wow Nice
Them: "We're not going to get into it too much because it was just built."
Also them: 🏎💨💨💨 at every opportunity.
😂😂
The smoking rubber at the end says it all LOL 😆
I LOVE the sound of a Buick 3.8L under boost.
OMG, Where did you get the GN E85 Badge from, the one you have on the trunk
Not a sleeper without the grandma wheels
The Corvette Killer back in the day!
What muffler is the car running. Awesome build!
Awesome 'BUILD'! wish you would of 'KEPT a MORE 'STOCK' Looking Set of wheels & tires...to Really 'Keep' a SLEEPER 'look' To IT!!!! Cheers From Canada!
Damm autotopiala yall did it with this car . This is a car that any body can afford .and any body can work on it not like the other cars 👌
False hahahaha
Glad you like it!
Man nice Grand National did you notch the rear frame for tire clearance 👍👍👍
Thank you for keeping it a v6 which is what made the car unique. LS swaps just turn it into a Monte Carlo
Such a cool car I wish we had got these in Australia in the eighties.
We did get the supercharged version of this engine in certain GM cars though and it proved to be an excellent engine.
😎🇦🇺👍
Buy it from here and have it ship to you, china does it
My mom had this car growing up. I could hear her coming around the corner. After the 4th car accident it was toast. She sold it i hope someone restored it and it still driving around.
Dream car!
That drivetrain will be at home in my el camino.
When the GN came out I remember muscle car dudes HATED it. Not because of the looks or the engine but because after hours and hours and dollars to make a n/a muscle car quick here comes this stock V6 turbo spanking everyone and everything on Thursday night at the dragstrip. 🤣 Some guys saw the light but a lot didn't. There simply were no turbo cars and people frowned on em.
So yeah, we all love it now but I know for a fact in this part of the country people were MAD. I remember tracks trying to ban it.
Man this car broke some hearts back in the day. Big time.
Car is 🔥🔥🔥
Love all your videos. I have a 84 olds Calais with 235 45 17 on 17*8 yearone rims all around. I'm considering going 255 40 17 in the rear. What you think please?
Missed that sweet Buick sound ,fastest zero to sixty
No video needed. GN are the last 2000 yrs worth of Darth Vaders. Subscribed.
Love the GN's but is there any way to make a 6 banger sound any better? Not necessarily louder. My vw gti has a nicer rumble.
Agree. Love the speed but the sound is terrible.
Love the dash hate the wheels nice build
Quality.
"The sound of the supercharger whine"...Turbo!
Gotta get my typhoon running 😭
Mine too. Ever heard of Sk kustoms? Look them up on Facebook. Shawn is an expert on the Sy/ty stuff what we probably are gonna have to do to make them more dependable is convert them to holley efi. It gets rid of the old computer and wiring harness which seems to be the issue with these vehicles. The 4.3 is a 350 missing two cylinders so its a great motor. These cars have been known to eat electrical systems.
nice buick
Wouldn't that make more power with say 93 octane regular gas?
I love mine. I had a audi pull up on me yesterday and try me. I have a slightly bigger than stock turbo running methonal. My engine and transmission have been rebuilt but I retained the stock rotating assembly. New down pipe and exhaust. I think dude was a little off on his tourqe numbers most grandnationals tourqe numbers are 100 over the horsepower. Stock was 245hp with tourqe 355. My engine builder when I asked him of my numbers told me 425hp to the wheels but the horsepower numbers aren't important its the tourqe at 500 550 gets it moving pretty fast.
Torque gets you off the line. HP gets you across the finish line.
Bad ass whip 🖤🔥
Love these old g bodies. Had a t type when I was a kid. This nash looks perfect. I wish they didn't sound so terrible.
Mine sounds like a small block v8
The grill come on !!!!!
That car looks great what's the 0-60 ?
Beast 🇺🇲💪
3:35 i luv cars whit the gear box there on dash board is good like crown vics i dont know what you called that but anyways car is good to me
