Additionally,Darrel Waltrip,driving the "Junior" Johnson -prepared " Mountain Dew" Regal, wrapped up the NASCAR Team Championship.
In 1982,Buick decided to release a Regal based on the same as car as the winning NASCAR Regal's,and the first GN's were produced,only 215 of them,and many were used by the FBI.These were the prototypes for the future GN's.
In 1987,Mclaren and Buick teamed up to make a GN to kill all other GN's,known as the Buick GNX,and produced only 547.This would also mark the end of an era, the last year Buick would make the Grand National.
I have parade insurance on it as it is not considered to be a true classic, yet. I will only part with my car if my daughter wants for 25th birthday,and she was born in 1999.Kinda makes it tuff for me though,as my son was born in 2001,and I will have to find something that he can beat his sister in!!The way I keep building the GN,it's gonna be almost impossible to get him a streetable car to accomplish this goal.
