1986 Buick Grand National on 2040-cars
Ironton, Ohio, United States
|
This is a great example of these cars. Always garaged and covered , and babied, every day, since we have owned it. Show winner every time shown. One repaint, stripped to bare metal and used PPG products. The paint really is stunning. Engine was replaced with a new GM short block at 130,000 miles in 1995, so you can tell it has not been driven much. When the engine was replaced the heads were restored with new valves and springs. A "93" chip/prom was installed, rebuilt stock turbo from Poston. KN air filter, really a strong running car. I think we added every chrome piece available under the hood. All the original pieces are present and come with the car. Transmission was rebuilt and shift kit installed, rebuilt stock converter, works great. The car runs great and there are no problems with drivability. The front suspension/steering was all replaced at 139,000 miles. "X" braces from Poston were installed behind the rear seat. All brakes were replaced including the hydro boost unit replaced with a Poston rebuilt one. Interior is perfect, new carpet, headliner. The gas gauge doesn't work correctly and never has. If you have questions please call me at 606-585-5433. I am listing this for a family member, his number is the one listed, I can not personal answer any questions. Please call the number with questions. |

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel
Thu, 04 Apr 2013General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
