I remember driving a brand new 1986 GN at Bob Pion Pontiac in Spfld Mass. To this day, one of the coolest things I’ve ever done besides fly a jet. 😂 The sticker was $21k, no way I could swing it. Settled for the 3rd fastest car in America, the 86 GT 5.0H.O. which cost $12,500. Second fastest (for those who are wondering) was the Corvette. Buick Regal Grand National was NUMERO UNO!! 🥳
I just got done watching the 30 minute video of this car being built at the manufacturer! Amazing watching the family casually walking through the facility with their 4-year old son helping drop the engine into the car! Just crazy to have the foresight on the importance of this car and the lengths he went through to get it. And most importantly to keep the car in showroom condition without driving it! How do you NOT drive a car like this? I would go absolutely bat-shit crazy having this car stare at me every single day! CONGRATS! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 EDIT: 3:40 - even from the factory you can see the paint jobs aren't the best. Needs a good Paint Correction and Ceramic Wax/Polish job. 😉
I worked there that night in December 1987 little did I realize that history had been made never to be repeated again! i own a piece of that history a 1988 cutlass supreme classic!
Sad for this car and for the fans for this car to be just set there!! Until when? Eventually “hopefully” someone will sell it and “hopefully” to someone who appreciate it.. still the next owner will be someone who doesn’t have real appreciation for it because he will be from generation that haven’t seen it in the streets. *The most appreciation for Cars is to drive them*
@@brandonbell5357 Show me how I'm wrong. It would be like having a champion horse and lever letting it leave the barn. Every car was meant to be driven and enjoyed. I've had collector quality cars, and I drove every one. Even wrecked one, and repaired it. At the end of the day, they're cars.

Great job. 500K on BJ
500K for a BJ. Way over priced
Cool and all, but I would drive it. It's still a car, it was meant to be driven, not sit in a bedroom like someone's stuffed animal.
You're totally wrong

Agree to disagree
@@brandonbell5357 Totally true.
@@EricJohnson-x1u Quite well said indeed.
You are *_absolutely_* correct in your view. 👍
The only car I ever owed that I wish I would have kept it
Worth every penny and then some.
THIS CAR IS NOW FOR SALE
HA! I have a couple of those 1989 ZR1 posters also. The car that didn't quite make it, lol
Do you still have the car?
I'm sure he does. I don't think he will ever let it go. I don't blame him one bit.
It is going to be in the auction in January
Not My Car. It's From the Documentary "Black Air" The Buick Grand National Documentary
