86 buick grand national fuel tank capacity

At 198 and 225 cubes, it saw duty as Buick's base engine offering through 1967. About that V6- it first appeared in 1961 aboard Buick's senior compact, the Special and Skylark. Unlike the NASCAR-themed Chevy Monte Carlo SS (of 1983) and Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 (of 1986), which relied exclusively on Chevy 305 V8 power, Buick went with V6's all the way through the GN's production run. I don’t have to tell you what color I want mine in.To celebrate the massive performance turn around, Buick whipped up the 1982 Grand National, a special version of the two door Regal named in honor of the superspeedway race series. As I write update this blog entry in August 2020, there’s a 1985 with 28,000 miles available for $17,000. Grand Nationals frequently show up for sale in the Hemmings Motor News classifieds and on eBay Motors. According to Hagerty’s valuation tools, all the money for a 1984 Grand National in #1/Concours condition is an astounding $39,900, with a more normal #3/Good condition car going for $14,100. Optional equipment included dual remote sport mirrors ($30), electric rear defogger ($140), touch climate control air conditioning ($150), tilt steering ($110), power windows ($185), Twilight Sentinel ($57), and electronic tuning AM/FM stereo radio with cassette and graphic equalizer ($605).īuick Regal Grand Nationals have what can only be called a fanatical following. Air conditioning, Lear Siegler cloth/leather seats, a tachometer, a turbo boost gauge, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel were all included inside. A Grand National‘s exterior equipment included a turbo “power bulge” on the hood, dual mirrors, dual horns, front air dam, rear decklid spoiler, and that distinctive black paint with black accents-responsible for the “ Darth Buick” nickname. Standard mechanical equipment on the $13,400 Grand National (about $34,400 in today’s dollars) included power brakes, power steering, dual exhausts, performance rear axle, Gran Touring suspension, and P215/65R15 blackwall tires (a size still readily available) on black-accented 15-inch aluminum wheels.
