Circumstances are forcing me to sell (kids and a mortgage).

Here is my 86 Grand National.  Car is a blast to drive and is driven to cruise nights and to get the groceries.

Will tell the good first -

Motor overhauled 20000 miles ago give or take.

Car starts and runs like it should.

The bad -

Needs a front ball joint. In original paint - looks good at 20 feet but @ 27 yrs old the paint has typical signs of age.  Drivers door has rust on the skin, the deck lid has some bubbling , RR quarter has some bubling and small ding.  Interior is a 6 of 10 - drivers seat has small tear in back,  needs carpet, front dash speaker cover is missing, sun visors are sagging.  Needs a new fuel pump has hot wire kit with walbro pump but will not maintain consistent pressure.  Windshield has crack in it.  The mileage on odometer reads 50400 - title does not state if it is accurate. passenger window rolls up real slow, a/c needs charged

It is a great car for a driver with all the right upgrades - a blast to drive.  If you have any questions feel free to call 217-357-1167 if no answer leave a message I will call back.  There is a lot of money in just the upgrades.  Some paint and a couple of minor things and it would be an excellent car to enjoy.  I sure do.

Car is for sale local also  I reserve the right to end early thanks

The pictures was taken while installing new alternator it is on and working so never mind the battery charger thanks

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
