I'm selling my 1987 Buick Grand National.  I've owned it for almost seven years. I'm the third owner.  It has 50435 miles.  I bought this car in New Jersey. It has a totally rust free body.  It was stripped down to bare metal.  There are no patches or bondo in the body.  It was repainted with Sikkens Base Coat/ Clear Coat. The body is arrow straight.  The car is basically rebuilt from top to bottom. The undercarriage is unrestored. It never had any undercoating applied. The drivetrain is number matching. It has about 4 thousand miles on it since it was built.  It was built with the best parts available at the time. It was built in 2004.  The interior is all original and in excellent condition. I did replace the gray insert in the drivers seat due to me tearing it with a screwdiver in my pocket. A local upholstery shop had some original material to use.  This is a solid roof car with nearly all options except t-tops, digital dash, and twilight sentenal.

Engine.

Forged pistons. Balanced rotating assembly. Arp bolts. Comp Cams Stage1 Cam. Comp Cams Valve Springs. Manly Valves. Blueprinted oil pump housing. ESP Maf Pipe. Plenum 70. RJC Power Plate-P. 50# injectors. 70mm throttlebody.  Walbro 340 pump with hot wire kit.  80 pounds oil pressure on startup. 40 pounds when hot.  The engine dynoed at 548hp.  It runs excellent and can be driven anywhere on 93 octane. T/A Performance headers and Flowmaster exhaust with stock location muffler. Precision Front Mount Intercooler. 6176E Precision Turbo.

Trans.

Built by Turbine Tech in Wayne, New Jersey.

3000 Stall Converter with lockup.  This converter is very tight. You won't know you have a 3000 stall driving around town.  I really like it.  Turbine Tech. Fabric Clutch.

Rearend.

Stock 8.5 totally rebuilt by Corrinthian Couchworks in New Jersey. 

New bearings, Posi rebuilt.  373 US gearset.

Suspension.

New idler arm and Centerlinl.

Big Front Swaybar with urentane bushings.

Herb Adams 2 inch drop spring all around.

Koni Shocks.

Brakes.

Original powermaster with rebuilt pump and new accumulator.  Works good.

Aluminum drums on the rear.

Tires

Mickey Thompson radials front and rear.

This car handles better than any A or G body I've owned.  It has no rattles or sqeaks.  It really speaks to being a low mileage car.

The only thing not working is the power antenae.  The motor is fine. It needs the plastic mast cable replaced. I've ordered one and will try to replace it before the car sells.  Everything else works including the A/C.  It still has it's R12 in it.

This has been a great car. I haven't used it much in the last few years.  Whoever gets it will be getting a great car. I've got 30k invested in it.  Good bidding. No reserve.

Any questions. Please email me. I will call you back if you want more info.

Buick and Bar Refaeli teach in-car yoga

Mon, Jul 27 2015

We're not sure which make or model you'd most readily associate with yoga. You'd probably see a fair few Mercedes convertibles, VW Beetles, and assorted minivans and crossovers outside your typical American yoga studio. But not to be left out of the contorting action, Buick is out to link itself to the age-old practice with these latest videos. They feature, as you can see, the ever lithe and supple Bar Rafaeli, clad in spandex, stretching and contorting herself inside and out of a Buick Verano. Which is really all you should need to know, but there's a little more to the clip above (and the behind-the-scenes video below) than eye candy. Choreographed by yoga guru Chad Dennis, the idea behind the video – cleverly entitled The Body Shop – is to show drivers, in as artful and visually pleasing a way as possible, how to limber up their body, mind, and soul in preparation for (or recovery from) a long drive. It also serves to promote the brand's new 24 Hours of Happiness test drive program that lets prospective buyers take a Buick home and try it out for a day before buying. And if nothing else, it aptly demonstrates that Buick has excellent taste – or at least as good as Sports Illustrated that gave the Israeli model her first big break, Leonardo DiCaprio whom she dates for several years, and the dozens of fashion labels, jewelry brands, and magazines for which she's posed in recent years.

GM offering factory-backed extended warranty for Chevys, GMCs, Buicks and Cadillacs

Mon, Oct 15 2018

Cars are generally more reliable than ever before. When things do go wrong, every automaker offers some form of factory warranty (in most cases at least three years and 36,000 miles, though many extend even longer), providing peace of mind to new-car buyers that many faults will be fixed at no charge to the customer. Starting today, GM is offering a new optional plan that will extend the factory warranty on all new Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac products. In the past, extended warranties have been offered as dealer add-ons, with all profits from these sales going to the dealership. GM's new program can be viewed as another nail in the the looming dealership-model coffin. According to Automotive News, some dealers aren't happy to see GM cut into their business like this, saying that it helps GM far more than it does dealers. GM says the new program will help keep customers in the GM family. Customers are also more likely to visit a GM service center rather than going to an independent repair shop. Currently, new Chevy and GMC vehicles come with three-year/36,000-mile warranties. Buicks and Cadillacs are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The new program extends Chevy and GMC warranties to five years or 60,000 miles. Buick and Cadillac warranties extend to six years or 70,000 miles. GM, citing IHS Markit, says most owners keep new cars for about 6.8 years, so these warranties will cover most of the length of their ownership. The extended warranty will add between $1,000 and $2,000 to the price of a vehicle, and the additional cost can be rolled into the vehicle's purchase or lease price. Unlike many dealer extensions, the factory program covers the vehicle no matter who owns it. That should help increase the car's resale value if it's sold within the covered timeframe. GM says there's no deductible and no need to file a claim form when getting warranty repairs. Additionally, dealerships can continue to sell their own extended warranties or service contracts.

Buick to use Velite name for its Cascada?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Ever since Opel brought out the Cascada convertible last year, rumors have been flying that Buick would offer it Stateside – much like it does with the Insignia-based Regal and the Astra-based Verano. And now we might have our best clue yet as to what Buick might call it. According to GM Authority, General Motors has filed to use the name Velite on a new model. The name first appeared on a convertible concept unveiled over a decade ago at the 2004 New York Auto Show (pictured above), but GM reportedly opened an application to trademark the nameplate for production in 2011, seeking extensions on its application every six months since. Of course the fact that it's applied for its fifth extension (of a permissible six) doesn't necessarily mean that GM will ultimately bring the cabriolet to US showrooms, or that it will use the Velite name if it does, but the fact that GM is keeping the name alive could be a good sign. The market for relaxed four-seat convertibles has been shrinking, leaving it up to drop-top muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang. But with entries like the Toyota Camry Solara, Volkswagen Eos and Chrysler 200 Convertible having dropped off the market, the Buick Velite (or Cascada, or whatever it's ultimately called) could have the sedate cabriolet segment all to itself – even if (or especially if) Lexus dealers aren't interested in touching it.
