Hey Guys, New to the forum here. I have been tasked with selling this GN that was built for Royal Purple Oils by Lingenfelter performance. The car is literally one of a kind, flawless inside, outside and underneath. The car was featured at SEMA as well as PowerNation TV along with Lingenfelter and Royal Purples media. The owner paid six figures for it at auction but has decided to sell it at a more reasonable price. Willing to accept offers but would like to get $65k for it.... I will copy and paste all the info I was given but can answer any additional questions.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Built by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering for Butch Cox Royal Purple Oil
• WE2 Grand National Build sheet
• Featured on Power Nation
• Selected at SEMA show as a Golden Ticket winner to compete in the Optima street car challenge
• Turbocharged 3.8L engine
• Automatic transmission
• RideTech StrongArms and coilovers
• Baer 4-wheel disc brakes
• Dark purple calipers
• Recaro seats
• Forged Weld Racing wheels
The 1986 Buick Grand National stands as a high-performance icon in an otherwise bleak field of mid-‘80s factory performance. With a single AiResearch turbocharger running 14 pounds per square inch of boost and an air-to-air intercooler, the 3.8L Buick V-6 engine was good for 235 horsepower at 4,400 RPM and 330 lb-ft of torque at just 2,800 RPM. The milestone turbo engine backed by a 200R4 automatic transmission in a 3,520-pound car made for impressive 4.9-second 0-60 mph times and a sub-14-second quarter-miles stock. This was all the more impressive considering a 1986 4-barrel 305 V-8-equipped Camaro was rated for just 165 horsepower. This factory performance not only made the Buick Grand National an instant collectible but also built interest among performance-minded drivers, who were ready and eager to extract more horsepower out of the Buick V-6 and help make the Grand National a superstar. This particular Grand National is rated for well north of 500 horsepower thanks to the collective knowledge of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. The storied house of performance and Bruce Cox of Royal Purple teamed up to build this updated take on the Grand National formula which retains its period perfect ‘80s style. Modern aftermarket performance engineering backs up the increase in power. RideTech suspension components work with Baer brakes, Weld forged racing wheels, and UHP compound tires for road handling to match 500 horsepower. The Grand National comes with the WE-2 build sheet. The package brought the sinister black exterior, Grand National badging, steering wheel horn cap emblem, and full-length console at the center of the ‘80s perfect interior with Recaro bucket seats. The upgraded Buick legend was featured on “PowerNation TV” and selected as a Golden Ticket winner at SEMA for competition in the Optima Street Car Challenge.
