Here is an overview of the production figures for the Buick Grand National:<\/p><p>1982: The Buick Grand National made a limited production run of 215 units as a performance package for the Regal model.<\/p><p>1983: The Grand National was not produced this year.<\/p><p>1984: The Grand National returned with a larger production volume of 2,000 units.<\/p><p>1985: Buick increased the production of the Grand National to 2,102 units.<\/p><p>1986: The production numbers saw a significant boost, with Buick manufacturing 5,512 Grand Nationals.<\/p><p>1987: This was the final year for the Buick Grand National, and it saw the introduction of the limited-edition GNX. Buick produced 20,193 Grand Nationals, with only 547 of them being GNX models.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s worth noting that these production figures are approximate and may vary slightly depending on different sources. The limited production numbers, especially of the GNX variant, contribute to the Buick Grand National&#8217;s desirability and collector&#8217;s value today.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f5f586 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6f5f586\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/features\/a23739443\/buick-regal-grand-national-gnx-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/c7547-r39-0013-1539356247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-71227\" alt=\"Buick Grand National\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/c7547-r39-0013-1539356247.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/c7547-r39-0013-1539356247-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/c7547-r39-0013-1539356247-768x469.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">All Images Courtesy Of Car And Driver Magazine<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d51813 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d51813\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d4d2e9f\" data-id=\"d4d2e9f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffb60a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ffb60a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Raw Power!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b1156d3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b1156d3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ac3e79c\" data-id=\"ac3e79c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b64a46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b64a46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At the heart of the Buick Grand National is a beastly powertrain that left its rivals in the dust.
