This 1986 Buick Regal Grand National is an absolutely extraordinary, exceptionally preserved original survivor with just 1,712 original miles! Finished in its iconic factory black exterior with a beautiful original interior, this Grand National is truly a breathtaking example of one of the most legendary American performance cars ever produced. With its unbelievably low mileage, incredible originality, rare factory Astroroof, desirable factory equipment, and absolutely pristine showroom condition, this Buick represents an exceptional opportunity to own a remarkably preserved piece of American automotive history.
Finding a genuine 1986 Grand National with low mileage is difficult enough, but finding one with only 1,712 original miles that remains in this extraordinary condition is something truly special. This is not a restored vehicle or a car that has been reconditioned to recreate its original appearance. This is an incredibly well-preserved, all-original example that presents exactly as you would expect a Grand National to have looked sitting on the Buick showroom floor in 1986. The condition throughout the entire vehicle is simply remarkable, and the level of preservation is something that must be seen in person to truly appreciate.
The exterior is absolutely spectacular. The original black paint retains an incredible, deep mirror-like shine, and the body is exceptionally clean and straight throughout. The paint, body panels, trim, moldings, glass, emblems, and exterior details have all been remarkably preserved. The unmistakable all-black appearance, aggressive Grand National styling, and iconic turbocharged badging make this one of the most recognizable American performance cars of the 1980s. With only 1,712 original miles, the exterior presents in genuine showroom condition and is an outstanding representation of just how beautifully an original vehicle can survive when properly cared for.
One of the most desirable features of this particular Grand National is its rare factory Astroroof, confirmed by the original CC1 option code on the factory RPO sticker. Unlike the removable T-Top roof panels, the Astroroof features a factory-installed, power-operated glass sunroof. This sought-after option makes an already exceptional Grand National even more special. Finding an original, ultra-low-mileage Grand National equipped with the factory Astroroof is especially difficult, and it adds another level of desirability to this remarkable example. Combined with its stunning black finish, incredibly low mileage, and extraordinary originality, this is a truly special Buick.
The undercarriage is every bit as impressive as the exterior and interior. The underside of this Grand National is absolutely immaculate and reflects the incredibly limited use this car has seen throughout its life. The floors, frame, suspension components, and surrounding underbody areas are exceptionally clean and beautifully preserved. This is not a vehicle with a nice exterior hiding an average underside. The level of preservation continues from top to bottom, making this Grand National a truly outstanding example in every respect. Finding a nearly 40-year-old original performance car with an undercarriage this clean is extremely difficult, and it further demonstrates the exceptional care this Buick has received since new.
Michael’s Auto Sales owns this Grand National, unlike many of the “Dealers” out there. We invest our own money in quality vehicles. Unlike the large consignment dealerships that simply market vehicles for a fee, every vehicle we offer is carefully selected, owned by us, and thoroughly inspected before being offered for sale. Every vehicle at Michael’s Auto Sales has been inspected for safety and mechanical operation by a Licensed ASE Certified Master Technician.
Inside, the original Grand National interior is absolutely immaculate and presents in showroom condition. The seats, carpeting, dashboard, door panels, headliner, center console, trim, controls, and instrumentation are all exceptionally well preserved. The original upholstery remains beautiful, the interior materials show virtually no wear, and the entire cabin reflects the incredibly limited use this Grand National has received over the years. Every detail has been remarkably preserved, creating an interior that looks and feels exactly as you would expect from an exceptionally cared-for, 1,712-mile original survivor.
This particular Grand National is also very nicely equipped with desirable factory options, all documented by its original factory RPO sticker. In addition to the rare factory Astroroof, it features power windows, power door locks, cruise control, tilt steering, air conditioning, rear window defogger, and the factory Concert Sound speaker system. The car is also equipped with Buick’s electronic touch-control radio, adding to its impressive list of original equipment.
Everything on this Grand National works exactly as it should! All power accessories, controls, instrumentation, and factory equipment are fully functional. This is an exceptionally preserved original car that not only looks outstanding but also operates as intended. The combination of its incredible cosmetic condition, extremely low mileage, and properly functioning original equipment makes this a truly remarkable example.
The factory drivetrain specifications are equally desirable. The original RPO sticker confirms the G80 limited-slip differential, G87 performance rear axle, and GU6 3.42 rear axle ratio, all important components of the Grand National’s legendary performance package. These factory options helped make the turbocharged Buick one of the most formidable American performance cars of its era.
Open the hood and the exceptional preservation continues. The engine compartment is absolutely immaculate and retains the unmistakable appearance of Buick’s legendary turbocharged V6. With only 1,712 original miles, the level of originality and attention to detail throughout the engine bay is simply outstanding. The factory components, engine accessories, and surrounding details have all been exceptionally well preserved, complementing the incredible showroom condition found throughout the rest of the vehicle.
Under the hood is Buick’s famous 3.8L turbocharged and intercooled V6, paired with an automatic transmission. For 1986, Buick introduced the intercooler to the Grand National, increasing factory output to an impressive 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. The result was a performance car capable of embarrassing many of the era’s most respected V8-powered muscle cars and sports cars. The Grand National quickly developed a reputation as one of the fastest and most intimidating American production cars of the 1980s.
The engine starts easily, idles smoothly, and runs beautifully. The automatic transmission shifts properly, and the car performs exactly as it should. Everything operates correctly, and the overall driving experience reflects the exceptional condition and remarkably low mileage of this Grand National. It needs absolutely nothing and is ready for its next owner to enjoy or proudly display as part of a collection.
The combination of its turbocharged V6, rear-wheel-drive layout, aggressive styling, and incredible performance made the Grand National an instant legend. At a time when many American performance cars were struggling to recapture the excitement of the original muscle car era, Buick delivered something truly special. The Grand National proved that a turbocharged V6 could compete with, and often outperform, much larger V8-powered competitors. Today, these cars remain among the most recognizable and desirable American performance vehicles ever built, with exceptionally original, ultra-low-mileage examples becoming increasingly difficult to find.
What makes this particular example especially remarkable is that it has survived for nearly four decades with only 1,712 original miles. Its original paint, immaculate original interior, exceptionally clean undercarriage, rare factory Astroroof, and incredible level of preservation make it a true standout among other Grand Nationals on the market. This is the type of vehicle that belongs in a serious collection and deserves to be preserved for generations to come. Finding another example with this combination of mileage, originality, condition, and factory equipment would be an extremely difficult task.
Another outstanding aspect of this Grand National is the original documentation and accessories accompanying the vehicle. The factory RPO sticker remains intact, providing a detailed record of the equipment and options with which the car was originally built. The vehicle also comes with its original owner’s manuals, additional original literature, and an impressive three sets of keys, further complementing its remarkable originality. These items are especially important on a collector-quality vehicle of this caliber and add to the overall appeal of this exceptional example.
