For sale is the 1986 Buick Grand National which I have owned for 2 decades.  This car has much emotional value and has been in the family for a very long time.  The only reason I am selling it is because I am in need of a pickup truck for work.  It is far from perfect but we made every effort to give it the power it deserves while maintaining it as close to stock as possible (i.e. no crazy upgrades, just ones that made sense).  Vehicle has never been raced.  All of the following engine work has less than 3000 miles on it.

Powertrain work:

GN1 Upgrade Kit from Poston Enterprises:

Champion Roller Rockers.  Champion GN1 Heads.  Hi-Per Rebuild Kit with Forged Pistons and 030 rings.  Rod and main bearings.  Head bolts.  Valve covers.  Valve seals.  Oil pump booster plate.  Timing cover.  40lbs injectors.  Special computer chip for fuel injectors.  TE44C turbo charger.  Turbo oil feed line.  65mm plenum.  65mm throttle body.  Duttweiler neck.  Exhaust down pipe.  All of this was done along with a full rebuild of the original engine block.  Also, transmission fully rebuilt, driveshaft fully rebuilt, rear axle service, new brakes, new tires, new aluminum wheels, new suspension including coil springs, new 3 inch aluminum radiator for cooling.  And of course, a torque strap, new coil, wires, spark plugs, water pump, timing chain kit, etc....

Body work:

The only body work I have done on the car is replace them awful bumper fillers that flake and fall apart with upgraded fiberglass fillers.  The trunk lid has about a 3 inch by 1/2 inch section of rust.  The remainder of the body is in excellent condition.

Interior work:

I installed the VDO gauges on the pillar, speed overlay on the cluster.  Seats and interior is original.  Dash has a 5 inch section that is pulling up and should be relatively easy to repair.  The T tops are original and do not leak.  The headliner needs some adhesive.  The little chrome strip across the dash is pealing.

All the engine parts were powder coated to keep from dis coloring or peeling.  The car runs like a rocket.  Serious bidders only please.  This car is available to be seen prior to auction end but be aware, this car has never been abused nor will it be as long as I own it, so please do not think you are coming to take it out and rip up the asphalt on my watch...  Any questions are welcome.  $250 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction ending.  Buyer arranges pickup or shipping, I am more than willing to accomodate meeting the transport or anything of that nature.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.

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.

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?
