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!!..

Top-of-the-line 2018 Buick Regal TourX costs $43,795
Tue, Nov 28 2017Buick has unveiled an online configurator for the 2018 Regal TourX wagon, and it shows that picking the full suite of premium options puts the sport wagon at $43,795. That prices it under its Regal GS Sportback sibling and competitors like the Volvo V60 Cross Country and Audi A4 Allroad. The luxury hatchback starts at $29,995 and is available in three trim options: TourX 1SV, Preferred ($33,575) and Essence ($35,945). All are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and drives an eight-speed automatic transmission. Intelligent all-wheel-drive with active twin-clutch, start-stop technology and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels are also standard. There are eight exterior color options, including Sport Red and Summit White for no extra charge, and two options for the interior at no extra charge. Driver Confidence package options come with things like LED headlamps, 4-way lumbar seat adjuster and rear park assist for $1,725, and various driver-assist technologies including adaptive cruise control and forward collision alert for an additional $1,190. A panoramic moonroof will set you back $1,200. At 73.5 cubic feet with the second-row seats folded down, Buick says the TourX boasts more overall cargo space than the Subaru Outback, Volvo V60 Cross Country, Audi A4 Allroad and BMW 3-series Sport Wagon. The rear hatch area offers 32.7 cubic feet with the seats up.Related Video:
2019 Buick Envision starts just under $33,000
Mon, Feb 26 2018Buick has announced that prices for its new 2019 Envision will start at $33,985 (including destination), positioning the refreshed compact SUV right between its best-selling Encore entry-level crossover and more upmarket Enclave and taking aim at competitors including the Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX. The Envision will be offered in five trim levels — Envision, Preferred, Essence, Premium and Premium II, which starts at $45,590 — when the crossover goes on sale this spring. Prices exclude tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. We told you recently about the optional new nine-speed Hydra-Matic 9T50 automatic transmission and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder on the top two trim levels. The upgraded engine offers 252 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard setup remains the 197-hp 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 147 lb-ft of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic, offered in front- or all-wheel drive. The crossover gets a new winged Buick emblem on the grille, new headlamps and newly sculpted front and rear facias, plus optional 19-inch wheels. It also gets a Buick-first tire-fill alert that signals when a tire has reached the recommended pressure level. Standard technology features include an in-vehicle air ionizer to eliminate odors, a switch to turn off its fuel-saving engine stop feature, rear-park assist, an 8-inch diagonal infotainment system and 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. By dropping the starting MSRP by nearly $1,000, GM says the Envision is now better positioned against its top-selling Encore (starting MSRP $22,990), for which nearly 60 percent of buyers come from outside the automaker's stable of brands.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Buick Riviera
Sat, Nov 25 2023The Buick Riviera personal luxury coupe attained monstrous proportions by the middle 1970s, scaling in at well over 4,500 pounds by 1976. After spending 1977 and 1978 as sibling to the Chevy Caprice, the Riviera then moved to the front-wheel-drive platform used by the Cadillac Eldorado and Oldsmobile Toronado, staying there through the 1985 model year. The Riviera world became a lot more interesting for the 1986 model year, when a smaller and more sophisticated generation hit showrooms with curvier lines and electronic gadgetry straight out of science fiction. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, found in a self-service boneyard in Phoenix, Arizona. What makes this car such a fascinating bit of automotive history is this dash-mounted touchscreen interface, known as the Graphic Control Center. The 1986 Riviera was the first GM vehicle to get the GCC, which means it was the first production car in history with a factory-installed touchscreen display. This system became available in the Buick Reatta and the Oldsmobile Toronado a few years later. The GCC used a cathode-ray tube screen sourced from an ATM manufacturer, which ran on 120VAC power and required an inverter and dangerous high-voltage wiring inside the dash. It was used to operate the HVAC, the radio and the trip computer, as well as to display operating and diagnostic information. The system used numerous bulky components in addition to the dash screen; I've extracted a couple of complete sets of GCC components over the years and plan to build them into a junkyard-parts boombox. As it turned out, the senior-citizen-heavy demographic of Buick shoppers didn't feel great enthusiasm for the GCC and there wasn't a huge sales payoff for this revolutionary technology. That didn't stop GM from introducing the first mass-produced cars with head-up displays a couple of years later. The running gear wasn't quite as sophisticated as the GCC. The 1986-1993 Rivieras got old-fashioned 3.8-liter Buick V6s under their hoods; the one in this car was rated at 140 horsepower and 200 pound-feet. If you wanted a manual transmission in your '86 Rivvie, you were out of luck. A four-speed automatic was mandatory equipment. Note the unusual face-loading cassette deck in front of the shifter; the AM/FM radio was a remote-controlled unit living inside the center console. The MSRP for this car was $19,831, or about $55,691 in 2023 dollars.
