At the time of this writing, the car has approximately 128k miles, but I still drive this occasionally so the miles may increase a bit. Some highlights pertaining to the car and general descriptions of condition are outlined below:

1987 Grand National T-tops W/ Digital Dash 


Mechanical:
This car has rebuilt 3.8 sfi Turbo v6 engine,  30 over with new pistons, new timing set, all new gaskets new water pump and new oil pump.  I have all receipts***
It's tuned for superior performance, reliability and exceptional idle quality. The car has a "Turbo Tweak" chip, Bigger injectors, Scanmaster, hotwire kit, Walbro pump and a Casper's volt booster. RJC powerplate, It also has a 2-1/2 exhaust. New Valve springs, ported throttlebody/intake. It also has a 160 degree thermostat. It is running a Rebuilt Garrett TA49 turbo and Stock intercooler. Billet Adjustable FPR regulator, This combination results in a very quick-spooling, streetable package. I have not run this car in the mile nor am I interested in doing so...my goals for the car with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 300 mile road trip without worry. The drive train is in great condition and runs, shifts and drives great. The transmission is a rebuilt unit. Shifts are very firm and positive. As for the converter it is a red-stripe converter LU. This car also has g80 posi rear end with new fluid
 

Interior:
Clean no rips, Scanmaster,  boost and water temp console gauges, the interior is as it left GM in 1987. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet is clean. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 8/9 out of 10. 

Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
Grand National Rims with Mickey Thompson Drag Radials,

Summary/Price:
Overall, this is a very, very nice car I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal in the years I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am NOT faced with a "must sell" situation. General inquiries may be directed to me via text or call 786-487-9775 
This car is located in Miami, FL I encourage interested buyers to come see and drive the car as I don't want to deal with any sight unseen/buyer's remorse issues following the sale.

If you have any questions concerns or want to see the car in person feel free to text or call me

Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
