No - all Grand Nationals were black. You could however get a Turbo Regal (T-type or Turbo-T) in various colours, which is an identical car with respect to the drivetrain. They were also the same bodywise but had chrome bumpers (from the factory) and no rear spoiler IIRC. They did however have the turbo hood, and came with different aluminum turbine style wheels.
You either saw one of these (actually less common than a Grand National) or it was a GN that has been painted.

I belive it may have been painted then, It had the emblems in the seats and the spoiler and the late Grand National wheels and it did'nt have crome bumbers. It looked all Grand National except it was a different color.
could be a clone :lol: I think some t-types came with the black grille and headlights and painted bumpers, Ive seen some with the spoilers too, but they could be aftermarket.
The ones you spotted are not Grand Nationals (or they are repainted, for some reason).
HOWEVER
For everyone's edification, the 1982 Grand Nationals were not black. They had the Silver/Black paint scheme as seen in this picture.

Also, you could get the GN drivetrain in ANY Regal, not just the GN and T-Type. They are rare, but Turbo Regal Limiteds exist, as do base Regal Custom Turbos with vinyl bench seats and column shift!
There is ONE green Grand National form the factory. It is an '86 and it is stashed in a garage in Cleveland. They guy that sold me my GP had it. I argued with him about whether or not it was original, and he explained that his Father-in-law was a VIP at buick in the 80's and had it "Specially made". I did not believe him and he showed me the paper work. It is super clean, has not been driven on the street since the 80's (at least as of 10 years ago when I bought my car). Wish I actually knew the guy, I would try to get him to post here.
I know noone will believe me. A sasquatch is more realistic, but this is the only mythical creature I have ever seen.
