Up for sale is my Buick Grand national of about 6 years. I was told it is a Grand National from the previous owner. I have found no reason to believe different. The Vin shows it to be a T-type which is correct for a GN in 1986. The vehicle history shows it as a GN. I purchased this car from the second owners as a roller. Vehicle check says four owners. I believe the guy I bought it from had to change the title to his name after his dad gave it to him. Second owner had car repainted by a local body shop in early 2000's. I finished the rest of the car. I had the engine professionally built with many aftermarket parts. Only things stock under the hood is the crank, block and fuel injector rail that I can think right now. Car runs good and strong. Does not burn oil or drink coolant. I have never had it at the track so I can't tell you what it runs. It's set around 18 psi now. Had it up to 23 psi and it's incredbily fast! It was a cruise night car for me then I bought a Cobra. This car went to the backburner. I have had the car out three times in the last two years. I may have put 300-400 miles tops on it since it's been running. So I'm looking to make room for a new project. This car is not a museum piece. It shows well and is a great show and cruise night car. But if your looking for a 10 out of 10 mint car this is not for you. The bad. Digital dash doesn't work all the time. Fuel pressure gauge mounted on hood isn't showing accurate readings. No a/c or heat. Manual brakes. It had a powermaster but I prefer the piece of mind that the brakes won't fail me. I built a custom exhaust and it may be to loud for some. Hood insulator is gone. It was dirty and I didn't like the way it looked. Some seepage from oil pan gasket. The paint looks good. It's not factory good. People always commented on how good the car looked. There is some (very little) surface rust on the bottoms of doors. No rot or holes. You can see in pics the bottom inside lips of doors were repaired. I do not know where else there may be bondo. I am very particular on vehicles. Pictures do not show imperfections well. There are some here and there. Serious buyers should see car in person. Note that in some pictures leaves on the ground are reflecting off of paint. It's not rust. The paint shines and reflects well. Interior is in good shape. Seats look very good. Some wear shows on dash and doors. Headliner is good. Steering wheel leather is very good. Stock radio works. Sometime it takes a few seconds to come on. Power antenna works. Power windows work but are slow. Common with these cars. Glass is all good. Pro comp boost/vac, water temp, oil pressure mounted above glove box. Pro comp tach middle of dash. Scan master. Coolmist controller. The engine consist of. $1950 spent at machine shop. Large K&N, Ls1 air meter, MAF translator, Precisions intercooler, Coolmist progressive alky, GN 1 polished large throttle body and dog house, GN1 ported and polished intake, RJC power plate, JE forged pistons, H rods, Comp 212 roller cam kit, roller rockers, RJC head gaskets and aluminum head clamps, ARP studs and bolts, GN 1 aluminum heads and valve covers, poston headers, Precisions turbo, pre turbo oil filter, stainless down pipe, new front cover with high volume oil pump, new water pump, new oil pan, RJC biggie oil filter adaptor, aluminum underdrive pullies, voltage booster, A/C delete accessory bracket, aluminum radiator, low profile electric fan, Mini starter, complete new wiring harness, 50 lbs injectors, holley fuel pressure regulator, RJC RM plug wires, turbo tweak alky chip, PCV air/oil separator, brand new battery, brand new GM ignition box, RJC rear motor brace. Pats torque converter, new transmission, old one had a crack in the housing. Aluminum driveshaft, Aftermarket rear end upper and lower control arms. Stock rear end in great shape. Gas tank is in good shape with walbro pump that is hot wired. Weld wheels with brand new tires. Nitto drags on the back. I have a aftermarket big front sway bar that isn't on the car but will come with it. There are many extras I will include if buy it now is reached. Front drag skinnies I bought but never put on car. They are used but nice, spare fuel pump, car cover, another turbo and lots of other stuff I have lying around. Anyone who knows these cars and how much their parts cost will know how much money is into this car. Any questions please ask. I'm sure I have missed some things. Money scammers can move on to your next victim. If you do not have the funds please don't bid. I am a honest seller. Check my feedback. Looking for a F250, F350 in good shape no rust with low miles. + or - cash. Thanks! |

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Buick Reatta
Wed, Oct 4 2017General Motors built some interesting sporty cars during the late 1980s and early 1990s, as the company attempted to claw back market share from European manufacturers of high-end two-doors. There was the mean-looking Oldsmobile Trofeo, the Turin-to-Hamtramck Cadillac Allante, and the gadget-packed Buick Reatta. Here's an example of the latter car, wearing Maui Blue paint and residing in a Denver self-service wrecking yard. There was a lot to like about the Reatta, but the powertrain came as a disappointment: the ancient, rough-running pushrod Buick 3.8-liter V6 engine, driving the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The 3800 engine made 165 horses in 1990, which wasn't bad for that year, but Reatta money would have bought you a new 1990 BMW 3-Series with a tuneful 168-horse DOHC straight-six. The Buick V6 was something of an Albanian grain-thresher motor compared to the engines in the Reatta's European rivals' cars: rugged but crude. The pre-1990 Reattas came with Buick's amazing touchscreen computer interface, which may have scared off the most conservative Buick traditionalists. This car had more typical-for-1990 controls. Only 6,388 Reatta coupes were made for 1990, so we're looking at one rare Buick here. Handcrafted by these artisans in Lansing.

GM mulling Chevy Cruze hatchback for US, Buick 'Panamera' among other new models
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've spoken at length previously about the fallacy of poor hatchback sales in the US, and with the runaway success of its Chevrolet Cruze sedan, it's somewhat unsurprising to hear that General Motors is rethinking its decision not to sell an overseas five-door variant in North America as it looks to plug a number of holes in its lineup. GM North American President Mark Reuss admitted during a media luncheon this week that not offering the model "... was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake," says Forbes. With the next-generation model already well-along in development, it's likely that the current Cruze hatch (shown above) won't see US dealers.
Reuss admits not offering the model "was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake"
In what must have been a far-reaching conversation, Reuss hinted at a number of new products for many GM brands, including "a much more beautiful Panamera" range-topper for Buick (which sounds a bit like the line of reasoning the TriShield brand has been pursuing with its Riviera concepts) and a "Ford Transit Connect-fighter" to supplant the recently announced badge-engineered Chevy City Express from Nissan.
U.S. denies GM tariff relief request for China-made Buick SUV
Wed, Jun 5 2019WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has denied a General Motors Co request for an exemption to a 25 percent U.S. tariff on its Chinese-made Buick Envision sport utility vehicle. The denial of the nearly year-old petition came in a May 29 letter from the U.S. Trade Representative's office saying the request concerns "a product strategically important or related to 'Made in China 2025' or other Chinese industrial programs." The midsize SUV, priced starting at about $35,000, has become a target for critics of Chinese-made goods, including leaders of the United Auto Workers union and members in key political swing states such as Michigan and Ohio. GM said on Tuesday it was aware of the denial and has been paying the tariff since July. GM has not raised the sticker price to account for the tariff. Buick Envision sales fell in the United States by nearly 27% to 30,000 last year and fell another 21% in the first three months of 2019. Only a small number of vehicles are built in China and sold in the United States. Last month, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office also denied a request by Chinese-owned Volvo Cars for tariff exemptions for mid-size SUVs assembled in China after the automaker sought an exemption for the XC60, its top selling U.S. vehicle. GM, the largest U.S. automaker, argued in its request that Envision sales in China and the United States would generate funds "to invest in our U.S. manufacturing facilities and to develop the next generation of automotive technology in the United States." GM said last year the "vast majority" of Envisions, about 200,000 a year, are sold in China. Because of the lower U.S. sales volume, "assembly in our home market is not an option" for the Envision, which competes with such mid-size crossover vehicles as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Cadillac XT5. Ahead of the July 2018 start for higher import tariffs, GM shipped in a six-month supply of Envisions at the much lower 2.5 percent tariff rate, Reuters reported in August 2018.
