Its officially called a Buick Regal T-Type. Most people just call it a Grand National. My brother and I still argue about this because I just call it a GN. Meh, same thing....


now he's probably going to call me and give me a hard time. lol

Iknow its an old thread...but dammit i'm bored!!!

Now now...I wouldnt call to give you a hard time sis...BUT calling to tease you that I'm at your FAVORITE Jamaican Patty store brings me joy to no end!(evil)

For the record YES its a "T-type" (for its touring suspension package) BUT since theyre much rarer than the flood of All black Grand Nationals its very hard trying to explain the cosmetic differences. in 1986 there were only 2,384 made and we came in over 100 GM factory colors with chrome bumbers, unique interiors, and badges. The cars are I-D-E-N-T-I-C-A-L powerplant wise to their sinister sisters Grand Nationals. Owners who wanted to stay away from the gawks and attention of the ALL Black appearance opted for the more subtle blues, whites, silvers etc. So you never know when at a stop light you might be next to one of these silent killers! And its because of my performance exhaust and cam I'm often mistaken for a big block V8. It's just a 231 3.8 baby V6! Even GHOST was all (omg) about how quiet these beasts are, racing at Moroso! "Nice SS!" or "cool Monte!" plagues me! I Often use the words GN or Grand National when replying to questions asked to what i own and drive...just SO much easier and the reactions of respect and recognition never gets old. (bow) lol. Just be forewarned I may turn a bit escentric on you when you ask if its a GN. (glare) But thanks for the attention!
