Novi, Michigan, United States

I'm selling my 1987 Buick Grand National.  I've owned it for almost seven years. I'm the third owner.  It has 50435 miles.  I bought this car in New Jersey. It has a totally rust free body.  It was stripped down to bare metal.  There are no patches or bondo in the body.  It was repainted with Sikkens Base Coat/ Clear Coat. The body is arrow straight.  The car is basically rebuilt from top to bottom. The undercarriage is unrestored. It never had any undercoating applied. The drivetrain is number matching. It has about 4 thousand miles on it since it was built.  It was built with the best parts available at the time. It was built in 2004.  The interior is all original and in excellent condition. I did replace the gray insert in the drivers seat due to me tearing it with a screwdiver in my pocket. A local upholstery shop had some original material to use.  This is a solid roof car with nearly all options except t-tops, digital dash, and twilight sentenal.

Engine.

Forged pistons. Balanced rotating assembly. Arp bolts. Comp Cams Stage1 Cam. Comp Cams Valve Springs. Manly Valves. Blueprinted oil pump housing. ESP Maf Pipe. Plenum 70. RJC Power Plate-P. 50# injectors. 70mm throttlebody.  Walbro 340 pump with hot wire kit.  80 pounds oil pressure on startup. 40 pounds when hot.  The engine dynoed at 548hp.  It runs excellent and can be driven anywhere on 93 octane. T/A Performance headers and Flowmaster exhaust with stock location muffler. Precision Front Mount Intercooler. 6176E Precision Turbo.

Trans.

Built by Turbine Tech in Wayne, New Jersey.

3000 Stall Converter with lockup.  This converter is very tight. You won't know you have a 3000 stall driving around town.  I really like it.  Turbine Tech. Fabric Clutch.

Rearend.

Stock 8.5 totally rebuilt by Corrinthian Couchworks in New Jersey. 

New bearings, Posi rebuilt.  373 US gearset.

Suspension.

New idler arm and Centerlinl.

Big Front Swaybar with urentane bushings.

Herb Adams 2 inch drop spring all around.

Koni Shocks.

Brakes.

Original powermaster with rebuilt pump and new accumulator.  Works good.

Aluminum drums on the rear.

Tires

Mickey Thompson radials front and rear.

This car handles better than any A or G body I've owned.  It has no rattles or sqeaks.  It really speaks to being a low mileage car.

The only thing not working is the power antenae.  The motor is fine. It needs the plastic mast cable replaced. I've ordered one and will try to replace it before the car sells.  Everything else works including the A/C.  It still has it's R12 in it.

This has been a great car. I haven't used it much in the last few years.  Whoever gets it will be getting a great car. I've got 30k invested in it.  Good bidding. No reserve.

Any questions. Please email me. I will call you back if you want more info.

Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up

Thu, 08 May 2014

The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.

Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
