General Motors may have created one of the most sought after collectibles in the car world with the Buick Grand National back in 1987. Divulged from a long line of performance models created by Buick, like the GSX the Grand National, were widely accepted by gear heads with something just a bit different under the hood. In 1987 Buick placed a 231 cubic inch V6 power plant fed by a single turbocharger under the hood of their new evil spawn, which started life as a Regal. A whole new chapter of pony wars was kindled upon the Grand National’s debut and many a Mustang owner  feared the sight of one in their rear view mirror.

Over the years we have seen many takes on customizing Grand Nationals and often we come across one that we absolutely love so that brings us to where we are now. We recently come across a 1987 Grand National that was on the classified section of YellowBullet. It is a 25.3 certified Drag Radial project that is closer to completion than it looks. Based off of a Dart Iron Eagle block the engine was punched out to 406 cubic inches and topped off with a set of SB2.2 cylinder heads. A lot of great parts went into the internals as well including Diamond Pistons, Oliver Rods and a crank from Callies.

Providing all the boost is a custom 106mm turbocharger which will force air through a Chiseled Performance water to air intercooler. A Weldon 12gpm cable driven fuel pump will feed the Mike Moran fuel injectors. This whole car has had the best of everything put on it and it is ready to go fast. Just add a coat of paint in the color of your choice and hit the strip or the street.
