1986 Buick Grand National GNX Clone.
Engine rebuilt about 4300 miles ago by BASKO Engines and Joe Martin Racing Engines of Arizona. Engine: Ported and Polished Heads. Limit Engineering GT70 turbo 224 Cam Forged Pistons Hooker Headers and Down Pipe with Single 3" Exhaust Ported and welded Intake Larger Throttle body and plenum with RJC Plate ATR Liquid to Air Intercooler Optima Red Top Battery Fuel: Upgraded Inline Pump 50 lb injectors ATR 7th Injector with 60 lb injector Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Transmission: 10" Non Lockup Convertor Valve Body Kit Billet Servo Rebuilt by Gary Rogers at AZ Precision Transmission Suspension: Lowered Higher Rate Springs KYB Shocks G-Tech Front Sway Bar....The biggest you can buy Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar Boxed Rear Control Arms Air Bags Paint and Body: Painted around 10 years ago with the GNX kit put on by Heath Elmer Restorations New Body Bushings Installed at that time I have owned this car for 26 years. I have the classic car insurance appraisal on 4/17/2010 for $23,000 with mileage of engine and transmission rebuild at 2,207 miles. Today there is 4,287 miles on the odometer which I zeroed out when the engine, transmission, and GNX VDO Gauge Panel was installed. I have only driven this car 2,080 miles since the appraisal in 2010. As you can see, I just don't drive this enough to keep it anymore and my interests are elsewhere now. This is not a perfect car, as it has a small passenger seat tear, the paint is around 10 years old but is 2 stage, 2 brand new tires and 2 really good tires, drives nice, A/C is cool but will probably need a recharge before it gets too hot, windows are slow and the locks don't always pop up. It stays cool in the AZ heat thanks to an Aluminum Radiator and 3 Fans. Has a B&M Huge Transmission Cooler, B&M Huge Oil Cooler. The car probably has around 200000 miles on the body but it doesn't look or drive like it. As far as the engine and transmission setup are concerned, the ATR Air to Water Intercooler works great in the AZ heat, always had a cooler core than front mounts, it has an external ice box to add ice to if you want to go to the track. The front mounts would always overheat the cars here in AZ, and with this set up it runs about 200F in traffic, with the A/C on, and it being 115F out. It is well sorted out for the heat. The non lockup convertor only revs about 200-300 rpm higher at cruise than my old lockup but it helps spool that turbo alot quicker. During cool weather, this car is powerful enough to lose traction at highway speeds when you floor it at over 20 lbs of boost, normally I keep it at 18 for pump gas and is monitored by an ATR air/fuel/knock meter and the Scanmaster. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is up for sale or trade locally. |

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
