If I remember correctly, there was only a certain number of them built between 1985 and 1987 - is that correct as well?

You are right for the years but the 87 model was the quickest out of all the years it was built! But v6 turbo engines were put in regals and t-types from 1979 they are very rare cars but the 87 was the quickest, it was quicker then the 87 corvette not bad for a full frame grocery getter car!!! They also made the GNX which is quicker then all of them and only a few were made! If you have one of them they are worth a large coin!!!

Is it true that the Buick Grand National was the fastest car built on the assembly line?

Yes it was the "quickest" off the line than any American car in '87 and also a few European sport cars as well.The Buick Grand National was a very quick car in '86 as well which was the first year of the Intercooled versions while the 1984-85 versions was not.Only 547 Buick GNXs was built, but not because of low demand!!

A true 80's muscle car but they were stock drag racers, not road racers. An 87 C4 would whip a 87 GNX in a road race. The same is true today of a Corvette Z06 and the mighty Challenger Hellcat, another modern muscle car. The Hellcat, albeit on the sportier Challenger chassis, is like the GNX in that it's an unrefined bulky, heavy car. The Corvette has long been designed with aerodynamics, power/weight ratio and optimum handling in mind.
