Brotherly Love
Joe Benassi of New York sent us this picture of his brother Vince's '87 Grand National along with an awesome story. Turns out, Vince has owned this car since new and, believe it or not, it still sports the original paint and interior. Cosmetically, Vince chose to ditch the stock wheels in favor of a set of American Racing Torq-Thrusts, which are wrapped in BFG Radial T/A tires. An avid Buick enthusiast, Vince has taken care to carefully mod his GN, adding just a camshaft, chip, intake, and adjustable fuel pressure regulator. With 18 psi on tap this GN is no slouch, but Vince mainly uses it for cruising during the summer months in New York. According to Joe, "you don't see many GNs up here, so it really stands out when he is cruising around. If you don't like attention, it's definitely not the car to own."
