Classic Muscle Car, Gran Sport, 400, Skylark 1969 on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
I am the fourth owner of the Gran Sport and this is the history per the last owner. The first owner purchased the car in Canada and had the car for many years. I have reciepts for maintenance by the original owner showing mileage into the 70,000 + mile range. The car was sold to the second owner, a Fireman in New Jersey, who also kept the car for 8 or 9 years and sold the car due to poor health. The third owner was also a Fireman and a friend of the previous owner. He retired and brought the car to Florida and also developed health issues which prevented him from maintaining the car to his standard and sold the car to me.
All matching numbers. This is a rare big block muscle car as only 7602 Gran Sport 400 were manufactured in 1969. It is very difficult to find one or see one at a car show in this condition. It comes with the original GM Protect-O-Plate metal warranty card as issued to the original owner,Owners Warranty booklet and Owners Manual. Also have the original Buick dealership's booklet of infromation on their 1969 lineup of vehicles including specifications of the Gran Sport 350 and Gran Sport 400 . The following is an overview of the car. 1. 400 cu.in. engine rated at 340 HP and 440 pounds of torque ( without Ram Air ).

Emgine does not smoke, burn oil or leak 5. Does not run hot 6. Turbo 400 Transmission, considered one of the best heavy duty transmission manufactured by GM 7. New Electronic Ignition and spark plug wires 8. Newer hoses and belts 9. 3:31 Posi-Traction rear gears with a 12 bolt heavy duty rear differential 10.

New oil change and Delco filter When I purchased the car it had an aftermarket JVC stereo AM / FM / CD player with plug in feature for front and/or rear for Ipod / Portable Audio Player type accessory. The owner had the original radio which was in amazing condition. I removed the JVC unit and reinstalled the original Am radio. The JVC stereo will fit in the glove box and comes with the wiring harness and installation and operating instructions. Color coded wiring matching the wiring harness were capped under the dash and would be easy to reconnect to the JVC unit. This is becoming more common for people who like the original look but would like to enjoy a more modern sound system. Also the rear speakers are new. This is an option offered to the buyer. Please no low ball offers. I do not have to sell the car. Also no trades. |

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
