20. 1987 Buick Grand National.
Sun Aug 20, 2023, 06:07 PM
Aug 2023

This beautiful piece of American heavy metal sold for about 15k in 1987. Today, these sell (depending on condition) from about 60k to 90k.



To find one is rare as there were only so many of them made and was the last year for the Grand National. This vehicle would have ate the 1987 Corvette for breakfast, lunch and dinner.


Of course, we're talking going heavy on fossil fuels here.
