The Legend of the LC2

In 1987, Buick didn't just build a car. They built a legend. For one glorious year, the "doctors' car" became a certified Corvette killer.

Clad in sinister all-black paint and powered by the legendary intercooled 3.8L V6 Turbo, it famously embarrassed Ferraris and Lamborghinis of its era.

At BuickGN.us, we believe in keeping the boost building. Whether you are looking to restore a barn find to showroom glory or modify your GN for 10-second quarter miles, you have found your home.
