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.

New alternator, K&N air filter. New headliner 3 weeks ago. , Hardtop car with power windows and locks, and the turbo tweek chip for the set up

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

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
