It's real.
Originally intended for a run of 100 units, Cars and Concepts of Auburn Hills, Michigan, retrofitted 215 Regals with the GN package. Most obvious was the light silver gray firemist paint added to each side. Red pinstripes and billboard shadow lettering proclaiming "BUICK" were applied. The wheel opening moldings and rocker panel moldings were blacked out using black vinyl tape. Finally, a front air dam and rear spoiler were installed. On the inside, special "Lear-Seigler" seats were installed. These seats are fully adjustable and were covered with silver brandon cloth with black vinyl inserts. The front seat had Buick's "6" emblem embroidered onto them. To finish it off, a special clock delete plate was added to the instrument panel which contained the yellow and orange "6" logo and the words "GRAND NATIONAL BUICK MOTOR DIVISION.

Awesome!!

I believe that should have a 4.1 in it.

In 1981 it was the pace car for the Indy 500 but was called a GN yet

Yet another hoarder with a bunch of decent cars sitting on grass :(

Learn something new all the time.
No turbo hood, bummer! Guess that one didn't have the stated turbo option.
It would be a nice restoration project BUT would you ever get anywhere near your investment back. Such a limited market and non turbo.

If it does have a 4.1? I would build it into a intercooled turbo engine. That would be a neat car, but they want too much money for me.

IIRC, the bulge hood didn't come around on the GN until 83... think it could be had on the sport coupes though....
