Barn-fresh from a private collection and ready for its next chapter, this stunning 1987 Buick Grand National is now crossing the auction block at Henderson Auctions, where turbocharged Reagan-era muscle meets modern-day bidding. Finished in factory black with just 11,276 miles on the odometer, this Grand National is one of the most collectible G-body Buicks to hit the market this year.
The Grand National earned its legendary status by turning heads and dropping jaws at drag strips across the country, thanks to a turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 that outmuscled contemporary Corvettes in a straight line. This particular example, listed as Lot #113 at Henderson Auctions, carries the unmistakable menace of the factory blacked-out trim, from the mesh grille to the deep-dish wheels, that made this generation of Grand National an instant icon among enthusiasts.
With only 11,276 miles recorded and a high bid already at $3,250, this Grand National represents a rare opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of Buick performance history without the restoration bills that plague many surviving G-body turbo cars. Interested bidders can review additional photos and place a bid directly through Henderson Auctions before the gavel falls.
This Grand National crosses the block as part of Henderson Auctions‘ Collector Motor Series Auction, set for Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. The event coincides with the SRO GT Car Races, giving bidders a rare chance to combine world-class racing with world-class bidding under one roof. Preview hours run from 5pm to 7pm on auction day, giving prospective buyers a final look before the gavel drops.
For enthusiasts hunting a turbocharged icon that still turns heads on the show field and the drag strip alike, this 1987 Grand National checks every box: rare color combination, low miles, and an ironclad reputation for straight-line performance. Full details, additional photography, and bidder registration are available now at Henderson Auctions, where the gavel falls on September 26.
Henderson Auctions Collector Motor Series is open for consignments and bidder registration.
