ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA 1985 WHITE PLATES, 1 YEAR ONLY! REGISTERED AND READY TO ROLL! TIME CAPSULE!
Up for auction with NO RESERVE!!! is a beautiful, extremely clean and almost completely original, factory produced, California 1985 Buick Grand National! This is a real deal survivor, matching numbers Buick Grand National with the very rare factory sunroof and digital dash option. With only 62,888 low original miles on the factory Turbo-Charged V6 it is practically a time capsule for Buick’s flagship luxury muscle car of 1985. The paint is all-original to the car and shines very well as you can see in the pictures. GM paint quality from the 80’s is notoriously lousy so there is some fading on the rear spoiler and clear coat issues on the hood area. This might be able to be brought back with a good buff or wet sand. A car is only original once and this car still sports the paint job it rolled out of the factory with. The doors, hood and trunk line up properly and shut with a solid “thump” as they should. There is minor touchup paint on the rear driver quarter panel as seen in pic. There is some road wear here and there in the body and paint from the car being driven over the years but overall looks nice for being original to the car and from the mid 80’s. The factory emblems and decals are still in tact and look great. The factory Buick rally wheels are original to the car and in good condition. The tires are in great shape and have lots of tread left. All the exterior lighting is in good original condition and works as it should. The headlights, brake lights, back-up lights, high beams and turn signals all work great. The factory 200HP 300FT/LB 3.8 Liter Turbo-Charged V6 has only 62,888 original miles on it. It fires right up and has never left me stranded ever. The car does have an uneven idle at start up but goes away after warmed up and drives amazing as always. It is a blast to drive and keeps up very well in modern traffic either on the freeway, around town or just out for a cruise on a country back road. The engine bay is extremely clean and the factory hood heat shielding is in excellent condition. The hood hydraulics are weak and do not hold the hood up anymore, so they should be changed out. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and fluidly through all the gears with no stalling or hesitation. The rear end is also all-original to the car. It performs as it should with no whining or funny noises. The stock suspension is in great condition and really makes for a very comfortable ride. The stock brakes are in great condition and stop the car straight with no pulling to either side. They perform as they should and are very confidence inspiring. The interior of this Grand National is almost mint. Everything is original with the exception of a pioneer CD player installed in the factory location. The dash was not cut and the original factory stereo is included with the car. The more modern stereo system sounds fantastic compared to the original Buick deck but you could go back to the stock stereo if you desired. The front driver and passenger seats are in beautiful condition with no tears or rips anywhere. The power driver seat controls work as they should and adjust the seat properly. The carpet is very clean and free of any rips or tears. The back seats are very clean and have no rips or tears. There is a tiny small hole on the bottom portion of the passenger side back seat and there is a small hole about the size of a dime where the bottom and top portion of the driver side back seat meets. It is almost un-noticeable since it lies in the crevice portion of the seat as seen in pics. Can be patched for $150 making them perfect. Other than that all the seats are in excellent condition. The car since last ownership has been absolutely 100% a smoke free car and has no funny odors or smells at all. The door panels are very clean and free of scuff marks and nicks. Other than that the door panels are both very clean. All the controls on both door panels work as they should including the: power windows and lock/unlock buttons. The dash is in excellent condition with no cracks and has not been cut or modified. The rare factory gauges are digital and all work flawlessly and are accurate including the: speedometer, gas gauge, trip meter, tach, factory boost gauge, water temp and voltmeter. The factory turbo boost indication lights work properly as do all the dash lights and readouts. The digital climate control system was a rare option in 1985 and this Grand National has it. All the indicator lights and control buttons work as they should and the entire system works great. The A/C will need to be recharged as it has not been done in years. As mentioned before the pioneer CD player is in place of the stock stereo currently and it sounds amazing! The headliner is in excellent condition with no rips or tears and the vanity lights and courtesy lights all work great. All controls everywhere on the interior of the car work as they should. The center console is in great condition as well as the rest of the interior panels. The little chrome bits like the handles and lock pulls are in excellent condition with no pitting and are original to the car. The sunroof was a factory option and this one is in great shape with no cracks or nicks. It works as it should and the factory sliding cover is very clean and lines up properly. The trunk is very clean and the lid has been dynamated. There is a subwoofer box/amp with 2 MTX 12’s that is easily removable if you so desire but it does very much complement the existing stereo system. The trunk does not rattle thanks to the dynamat and the sound it produces is very clean and not muffled. The factory spare tire is still in the trunk and the original factory jack is also included with the car. This Grand National also has an alarm with keyless entry and panic functions and two key fobs are included. The original window sticker is included with the car from its sales date back in 1985. It shows the specs and options that this car was built with and is a very coveted piece of documentation with any classic car. This factory original, survivor, optioned out 1985 Buick Grand National is in excellent shape through and through. It is the perfect modern classic or collector car to kick off your summer with a bang! Nice, un-molested, factory original examples of Grand Nationals are getting harder and harder to find. In 1985 just 2102 were sold. Who knows how many remain. Most were stolen, hacked up or crashed leaving them with a salvaged title, but not this one!!.. This is your chance to own a beautiful modern classic that is at home at any car show or just out for a weekend cruise. You get modern conveniences and all the looks, smiles, comments and fun of owning a classic car. This is an excellent entry into the classic car market. Prices on these cars are on the rise.

2020 Buick Encore GX First Drive | Bringing serenity to the subcompact market
Mon, Aug 24 2020With Buick seeing sales success in our crossover-crazed world, it’s no wonder the company is adding to its crossover lineup with the 2020 Buick Encore GX. It sits just above the existing Encore, and it offers more space and new turbocharged engines for just a bit more money. In fact, as it starts at just $900 more than the existing Encore and offers more power, space and fuel economy, itÂ’s unquestionably the Encore version to get when heading to your Buick dealer. But compared with other crossovers, the BuickÂ’s only real advantage is in its quietness, refined powertrain and upmarket badge. Otherwise it's a fine but unexceptional crossover. Powering the Encore GX is your choice of small turbocharged three-cylinder engines. The standard engine, available with every trim, is a 1.2-liter unit making 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. ItÂ’s only able to be paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive. ItÂ’s also not the most efficient powertrain offering, returning 28 mpg in town, 31 on the highway, and 29 combined. The optional engine, available only on the upper two trims Select and Essence, is a 1.3-liter example making 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. This engine can be paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive, or a nine-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel-drive. Also, because of efficiency boosters such as an offset crankshaft, electric oil pump, electric brake booster and electric turbo wastegate, itÂ’s the most efficient choice. With the CVT and front-wheel drive, the Encore GX manages 30 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway, and 31 combined. The all-wheel-drive version only gets 26 mpg in town, 29 on the highway and 28 combined. Our test car was an Encore GX with the 1.3-liter engine and the CVT, and on paper, itÂ’s the engine to go with. ItÂ’s more power with less fuel use. And while itÂ’s not the most powerful car in its segment, its torque is accessible throughout the rev band, so it never feels slow. Buick has done an excellent job keeping the engine quiet, either through powertrain refinement or through extensive sound deadening. YouÂ’ll never hear more than a faint growl from under the hood. The CVT is absolutely the transmission to choose, too. ItÂ’s amazingly smooth and unobtrusive. The revs are always kept low and thereÂ’s just enough variance in them that it doesnÂ’t feel like a rubber band. It responds fast to your right foot, too, so you arenÂ’t waiting for more rpm when needing to accelerate faster.
Next Opel Insignia to adopt sleeker looks
Fri, Aug 21 2015The very first set of spy photos of the next-generation Opel Insignia have dropped, giving us a look at the more svelte, aggressive, and stylish look of the popular sedan. As a reminder, the Insignia is sold here in the United States as the Buick Regal. There's only so much we can discern from these photos, thanks to the very heavy camouflage. But we can get a look at the new Audi A7-like roofline, which our spies citing similarities to the Opel Monza concept car from the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Monza link fits with our previous reports, which claimed the gullwinged wagon would serve as a prime source of inspiration for both the Insignia and US-market Regal. Aside from the significantly redesigned sheetmetal, Opel is also increasing the size of its flagship sedan, adding nearly four inches between the axles. According to our spies, the goal is to build a vehicle comparable in size to the Skoda Superb, a roughly Volkswagen Passat-sized sedan based on the VW Group's MQB platform. What's most interesting for US customers, though, is the body style shown here. Like the aforementioned A7, the next Insignia will be offered as a five-door model, rather than a traditional sedan. The five-door hatch would later be joined by a traditional wagon. It's unclear whether the US market Buick will take a similar route, or whether General Motors will demand a four-door variant exclusive to North America. Check out the spy photos above, and keep an eye open for more on the next Insignia/Regal. Don't plan on seeing it at an auto show any time soon, though. It's not slated to debut until the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Buick Century attracts 15,000 bees searching for new hive
Thu, Apr 1 2021By most accounts, the fifth-generation Buick Century isn't considered a desirable place to live. For a swarm of 15,000 bees, however, the lure of the front-drive A-body proved irresistible, much to the chagrin of the car's Las Cruces, N.M. owner. The unidentified man had gone shopping in an Albertson's grocery store, returned to his car, placed his purchases in the car, and began driving away. Then he noticed that something was, according to the New York Times, "amiss." The Buick owner called 911, which dispatched the Las Cruces Fire Department to the scene. Luckily, one firefighter and paramedic in the brigade, Jesse Johnson, is a hobbyist beekeeper. Though he was off duty at the time, Johnson sprung into action and arrived at the Buick with equipment to transfer the bees safely, including an empty hive box, a beekeeper's outfit and lemongrass oil, which mimics the scent of the queen. Johnson told the Times that bee colonies will often split in springtime, with a swarm following a queen to search for a new home. Apparently, the partially open window of a 1982-96 Buick Century looked like an inviting, perhaps temporary, location as the bees relocated. Johnson removed 3.5 pounds' worth of bees in a span of less than a half hour. He is rehabitating the bees at his home, where he maintains other hives. “IÂ’ll do anything to keep people from killing the bees,” Johnson told the Times. He also explained that when bees swarm like this, they are typically pretty docile. Amazingly, the Buick owner was only in the store for 10 minutes, the paper reports. Johnson believes the bees came from a nearby neighborhood. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident. One Albertson's security guard was stung, according to the Las Cruces Fire Department, and another firefighter was stung on the lip. For the record, the Las Cruces Fire Department says they don't routinely handle bees. It was just fortunate that Johnson was around. It's not clear if the bees would have flocked to a similar era Chevy Celebrity or Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Related Video:
