Buick Regal Buyer's Guide
Mike Sullivan here. The 1987 Buick GNX is the fastest American production car of its era. That's not hyperbole — the GNX ran the quarter mile in the low 13-second range, making it quicker than a contemporary Corvette, faster than a Ferrari 328, and quicker than nearly anything else for sale in an American showroom. GM's own engineers reportedly drove the final prototypes against a Ferrari Testarossa and the GNX won.
But here's what the GNX legend obscures: the broader Regal family from 1973 to 1987 is an undervalued platform with excellent bones, strong parts support, and collector interest that extends well beyond the turbocharged variants. The G-body Regal that spawned the Grand National is one of GM's most capable platforms, and even the standard V6 and V8 Regals represent good value in the current market.
