1986 Buick Grand National Gnx Clone on 2040-cars
Gilbert, Arizona, United States
1986 Buick Grand National GNX Clone.
Engine rebuilt about 4300 miles ago by BASKO Engines and Joe Martin Racing Engines of Arizona. Engine: Ported and Polished Heads. Limit Engineering GT70 turbo 224 Cam Forged Pistons Hooker Headers and Down Pipe with Single 3" Exhaust Ported and welded Intake Larger Throttle body and plenum with RJC Plate ATR Liquid to Air Intercooler Optima Red Top Battery Fuel: Upgraded Inline Pump 50 lb injectors ATR 7th Injector with 60 lb injector Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Transmission: 10" Non Lockup Convertor Valve Body Kit Billet Servo Rebuilt by Gary Rogers at AZ Precision Transmission Suspension: Lowered Higher Rate Springs KYB Shocks G-Tech Front Sway Bar....The biggest you can buy Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar Boxed Rear Control Arms Air Bags Paint and Body: Painted around 10 years ago with the GNX kit put on by Heath Elmer Restorations New Body Bushings Installed at that time I have owned this car for 26 years. I have the classic car insurance appraisal on 4/17/2010 for $23,000 with mileage of engine and transmission rebuild at 2,207 miles. Today there is 4,287 miles on the odometer which I zeroed out when the engine, transmission, and GNX VDO Gauge Panel was installed. I have only driven this car 2,080 miles since the appraisal in 2010. As you can see, I just don't drive this enough to keep it anymore and my interests are elsewhere now. This is not a perfect car, as it has a small passenger seat tear, the paint is around 10 years old but is 2 stage, 2 brand new tires and 2 really good tires, drives nice, A/C is cool but will probably need a recharge before it gets too hot, windows are slow and the locks don't always pop up. It stays cool in the AZ heat thanks to an Aluminum Radiator and 3 Fans. Has a B&M Huge Transmission Cooler, B&M Huge Oil Cooler. The car probably has around 200000 miles on the body but it doesn't look or drive like it. As far as the engine and transmission setup are concerned, the ATR Air to Water Intercooler works great in the AZ heat, always had a cooler core than front mounts, it has an external ice box to add ice to if you want to go to the track. The front mounts would always overheat the cars here in AZ, and with this set up it runs about 200F in traffic, with the A/C on, and it being 115F out. It is well sorted out for the heat. The non lockup convertor only revs about 200-300 rpm higher at cruise than my old lockup but it helps spool that turbo alot quicker. During cool weather, this car is powerful enough to lose traction at highway speeds when you floor it at over 20 lbs of boost, normally I keep it at 18 for pump gas and is monitored by an ATR air/fuel/knock meter and the Scanmaster. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is up for sale or trade locally. |

Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

2020 Buick Enclave adds Sport Touring trim, tweaks tech
Wed, Jul 10 2019With its redesign for 2018, the Buick Enclave added the fancy Avenir trim level. Now the 2020 Enclave moves a bit in the other direction with a new Sport Touring model. The Sport Touring package is based on the Essence trim level, and consists of a body-color grille surround in place of chrome, and special 20-inch wheels that combine a bright finish with darker insets. The package doesn't touch the 310-horsepower V6 or the Enclave's suspension, so this development is hardly one to threaten the Ford Explorer ST or the Dodge Durango SRT8. Instead, it is perhaps a baby step toward an Enclave Gran Sport, although we might rather see the Regal TourX wagon move in that direction. Other Enclave news falls into the more traditional Buick wheelhouse. There's a new message function and power lumbar adjustment for the Premium and Avenir models. GM's HD rear vision camera — in which the rear-view mirror can switch to show a wide-angle camera feed — is newly available, as is an HD surround-view feature. In other tech developments, the standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system gains new capabilities, now supporting connected navigation and Sirius XM's higher-level 360L service, both of which require a subscription. The 2020 Buick Enclave rolls quietly into dealerships this summer, with an asking price of $41,195.
Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.
