1987 Buick Grand National




Some like to think of Elvis as being the King of Rock N' Roll - We like to think of Greg as the King of G-Bodies. Reason being, not only has Greg owned over 60 cars in his life, 20 of them have been G-Bodies. And aside from us featuring Greg's Grand National, he also has a G-Body wagon, Grand Prix and a T-Type (this is just naming the current G-Bodies he owns, he also has other cars if you can believe it). And Greg being Greg, NOTHING is ever stock or what it seems! Be jealous, because you really should be.
Greg has owned his Grand National since 2003 and is the 2nd owner. With 60,000 miles on the car, and 1,200 on the new motor. The GN was an ATR built, applied technologies and research built car back in 1994 and was painted Mercedes black back in Florida.
His GN is a stock 8.5 GN rear, 3:73 gears and C Clip illiminators. In 1996 a 2004r trans was done with a 10inch, "the real Art Carr" converter. His GN is a stock 3.0 production block, 20 over Wiesco pistons, stock rods, 2 main caps, center location, roller cam, steel Champion heads, ported and polished with a ported matched stock intake, Precision 67 Turbo, 60lb injectors, RJC 3 inch downpipe, Poston Headers, Magnaflow 3 inch exhaust and CDomplete ATR suspension. And with all that done, of course Greg has custom wheels, custom fog lights, gauges and a nice sound system. Looks good, sounds good and moves good, just like how Greg likes it.
As for future plans, one never knows for sure, because Greg buys and sells his cars like one would shop for clothes. You never know what he is going to show up with, how he is going to build it and when it's gone. All we can suggest is keep close tabs on Greg, be his friend and know his cars, because when he is ready to sell, you'll want to buy it!!!
