damn, I love the stance of brown sugar!!!! I have to replicate that in my regal no if, amd or buts, no matter what it takes me to do it. That much meat under the ass end, the polished aluminum cold side piping that will go through the hood all over, combined with a 5" exhaust or 2 throwing blue flames over the roof of the car mmm mmmm. Just the thought of it leading me back downstairs to work on mine at 11:30. I have really developed a whole new love for g-bodies after buying this one. Fell in love with the GN when my BFF at the time bought a 12k mile 87 back in about 95 and I got to see what it would do. Watched his car go from running 10's in the 8th mile, to running 7.30s with roughly $500 in parts and half a days work. Added a set of M&H, a downpipe, converter lockup switch, and not much else. I couldn't believe how much that car had in it.
Keep that thing racing , it is loved when it get's all the attention. As soon as it goes back to a stock car, it gets parked and that's the end of a fast car.
JD - I love the CRX too. I've owned two. The last one I had was so worn out that shop I used finally told me "we've fixed it again, sell it, we don't want to see it back." But it was still a cool little car. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Hey JD, "WAS" nice Grand National. Back in 88 my friend had one, King of the Street in 1988! That was the car to have, my 88 Mustang GT couldn't touch it. Ugh, LS swap notch..I just threw up a little..well got to burn it down now. Great Vlog JD! Keep doing what you do.
Theres a super clean Grand National that goes to the cars and coffee by me every weekend! Guy said its been built up and making around 450 hp, pretty sweet. Not quite John's level though haha
Great video JD but it brought a tear to my eye missing my 86 GN.😭 John Doc gotta sweet race car. Reminds me of Ken Duttweiler’s car back in the day. Except for the extra 2 cylinders. Lol! That cars to far to bring back to original!!😆 Love Liam’s smile.✌🏻
I've always been a sucker for those G-Bodies. GNX is of them all. I've been lucky enough to have G-Bodies in the form of an Olds 442, an El Camino SS, and a Monte Carlo SS. I had a Buick T-Type slip through my fingers.
There’s one for sale at ‘The Toy Store’ off Weems in Winchester. Not sure how much he wants for it, guessing pretty expensive considering the quality of the classic cars at that place. But the Grand National was there yesterday when I rolled past. Like you, I’ve got a soft spot for GNs so it stuck out amongst the other awesome rides.
Great video bro! I like 30 min from john doc! Love the kids! They are gonna be hooked for life! My daughter told my pops she is goin to do donuts when she gets her car built lmao jd said i Aint about thAt ls swap life 😆 me either bro!
I'm building an 85 limited. I repeat again it is a 1985 Buick Regal LIMITED!!!! not a GN not a t-type. It was a mint 80k car that ran like new right up until the 3.8 locked up tighter than a wedge somehow. You really have to be super careful on here talking about them lol. I receive so much hate over the LSX swap its not even funny. I would think that super nice 408 twin-turbo doing 1000 wheel would still be appreciated but it sure isn't so far. I really hope the butthurt only gets worse when it hits the track next spring. The 1st thing everyone does is try to swindle me out of my super rare Bob Glidden pro-slot wheels. 2nd they slam me for ruining a perfect luxury regal that blew the 90hp carb v6 lol. I bought it because at the time I was driving a really nice 98 cobra that I couldn't bring myself to cut up. hindsight I wish I had, the car was 75% done with everything but my ls motor. After watching a video of a beautiful blue t-type on here I'm going to ditch the factory white and go with the same blue, so i can keep my 9.5 of 10 blue interior. with the double stuffed power bench seat and all. Even the little LIMITED on the wood grain dash still lights up. was switching to buckets and rear delete until i moved the car around a bit, though I'm in no real hurry to yank the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in out lol
From what I heard it was a Buick Regal and was turned into a GN clone. Years ago we built a Nitrous BBC with a Regal for a customer. They did the same. Painted it black and made a GN clone.
It's already "race-built", leave it and keep haulin. That decision should've been made before the cutting began imo. AKA isn't a Buick Regal similar enough to cut on?
I collect 1/64 scale diecast cars and I have those same Grand National models you showed in the intro! I could see if the user car was wrecked or damaged to turn it into a modded race car, but taking an intact GN to do that is sacrilegious! But what can you expect from a guy who LS swaps fox body mustangs?? Par for the course.
What's goin' on, JD? I don't know Jon Doc, but he seems like a pretty cool guy. Lots of goodies sitting around his shop. How 'bout that Brown Sugar... great name?👍😁 I would really like to see you get a Grand National one of these days. Most Ford and Chevy guys I know respect those old Buicks. I graduated back in '88 and there was a rich kid whose dad had an '87 Grand National and he had a hopped up '86 T-type that used to spank everybody. Recently, I saw a GN-X on bringatrailer.com sell for $200,000! It only had 8.5 miles (not a typo) on the clock. Museum piece for sure. Sorry for rambling on, but something about those old G-body cars.😉 Great video, bud. Your boys are too cute, especially Liam's new smile.😁 Even got him doing transitions now, haha. I hope all of you have a great week, dude.✌
JD Joyride ? You ever asked that Buick Regal Grand National guy why he convert the Grand National into a dragster when he could of used a regular v6 Buick Regal and converted that into a dragster.
JD, You should build yourself a bigger shop. Could do a lot RUclips vids out of a nice shop. Definitely put the Grand National back to stock if he has the parts still. #terminatorlaura #noburnoutbex
JD you need to start taking that boy to the track instead of just car shows you got 900 hp start putting them to good use I don't know bout the Cowmaro being your first race but you need to get out there and make some hits at the track
@@robertelmo7736 YEP, rollbars, gutted interiors, tubbed out , twin turbo engines... all that stuff... And just at Englishtown New Jersey when they had the mustang versus grand nationals. Would love to know how many are honestly around.
Great video JD. I've been messing with them since they were new and currently on my 4th one now. If you want to see the best Turbo Buicks in the country getting down, you gotta go to the Buick GS Nationals in Bowling Green KY. This years dates are Oct 23-26th. 2019 will be the 39th Annual race. I gotta warn you though, "86 - "87 Turbo Buicks are very addictive. www.gsnationals.com/ Oh and TeamLaura and Bex FTW.
Dude that’s insane that’s sick all time puke word is awesome. why can no one put up a race video without sounding like ninja turtles.when I hear that stupid shit I start walking. no offense to you making this video the act is old just be you it works 1320 is good cause they don’t do stupid
Leave the GN as is. Complete waste of time and money to swap back. Why? To be slower? Values fucked aready. Worse case detune and street drive it. Lot of cars and lot of money over there 👍 many people watching this dont really know how expensive it is to hand a shop your car for builds like that. dropping 30 to 70k at a shop. I couldnt of done my car if i wouldnt of done it myself. I wanted a rollcage in my car and 3 places i went to said they couldnt even give me a eta on when they could that me in. One place was booked soild for 3 yrs. I say if u want a LS buy a Chevy. Or better yet stick it to the import guys. SBFs are capable enough. Just dont get a stock block, lol. I know u cant beat a LS budget build. But why on earth buy a ford as a gm guy? But not my car so whatever.
I wish every RUclips channel was as dedicated as you are to high-quality crystal clear videos. Good to see your youngest son smile. 👍👍
His smile is hilarious! 😲 Loved it! 😂
John is one of my RUclips inspirations!! Part of the reason why I started making videos...cars and racing!! 🇺🇸🦅💪
2 of my favorite RUclipsrs collabing. Should race the Cowmaro vs the GT500
No chance bud
Just A Car Guy Named Tom that’s not even a race the 🐮 will walk out of his life
John doe will walk that gt500

This is one I never expected. Really cool, Doc has a good channel 👍🏻✌️
Grand national r sweet hope he restores back original
Nice!! The new life the Grand National has now is best for it.... :-)

Only weak spot in the GN was the rear-end. I saw a guy spit out 2 of them when his was brand new in '87
Great buick GN collection you have there!
I agree JD always wanted a CRX almost bought a 92 last year! LOVE THE CHANNEL! You rock bro! Keep the videos flowing! John 😎👍

He technically didn't ruin it he bought it ruined lol
Ryan Boris I know. It wasn’t running when he got it.
Stoppin’ in NC! John Doc is a cool dude!
Fast_GT500&Nova_SS yeah he’s one of the few Automotive RUclipsr’s that’s actually a decent person.
Such an amazing car in every way. You say ruined, I say improved.

TheMick26 I’d love to get a Grand National. Goals for when we make it big on RUclips 🤩
Back to original for sure!
JD joyride I'm Marco Jordan that I have a buick grand national make 1275hp
Just sub'd both you,,, nice video. Thanks to that Grand National love.
JOHN'S GOT A FEW CARS NOW . I LIKE BROWN SUGAR THE BEST.
JD Joyride ? You ever asked that Buick Regal Grand National guy why he convert the Grand National into a dragster when he could of used a regular v6 Buick Regal and converted that into a dragster.
Hi jd love your vids
I don’t think you can call that thing a Grand National anymore. The guts are all gone, only some of the original shell are left.
The hopping fox
Haha, nice.😂
GNs still give me nightmares.
Reypadd you had a little spot light in this one.
I’ve owned 3 grand nationals and one T-type and one of my good friends owns the world record for the fastest STOCK GN
Throw that ls swap foxbody away
JD, You should build yourself a bigger shop. Could do a lot RUclips vids out of a nice shop. Definitely put the Grand National back to stock if he has the parts still. #terminatorlaura #noburnoutbex
Danny Kuhlmann I want to so bad.
Absolutely not! That car is amazing!
JD you need to start taking that boy to the track instead of just car shows you got 900 hp start putting them to good use I don't know bout the Cowmaro being your first race but you need to get out there and make some hits at the track
Cowmaro is fast as light ✨
Bud the only thing still grand national on that car is the body!! I think its a little beyond restoration.
Grand National the American Supra
Where is the the ritual Circle and pentagram at John docs I know he's got one I saw that LS swaped fox
Thats nothing, at least it's not a GNX ... I personally saw about 10 GNXs destroyed sitting in the staging lanes back then.
You saw 10 GNX's destroyed?

@@realkilju how do you think I feel, I used to have a Grandnational.

I agree. Pretty bad. But what Buddy Cox did to a GNX was way worse..
Little man is wes in 30yrs.lmao

I won a crx last year
are you kidding me, an old top fuel motor, that f'n nutz they make 12k horsepower
He could have just bought a regal. Can’t stand seeing a GN cut up
you are right, but a lot of them have been modified. hard to find a clean pure stock one.
Yeah or just picked up a Monte Carlo SS
John doc u want $19,000 for that 1986 cutlass brown sugar
Hahaha is that a dodge challenger hahaha oh man thats great
No don’t restore it back. It would never be right again
