1986 Buick Grand National/t-type on 2040-cars
Joliet, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is my Buick Grand national of about 7 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 did not see this vehicle roll off the assembly line. 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. Very little. The paint looks 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. Car hasn't seen rain since I have owned it. 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. Over 10k in drivetrain. 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. Diesel 2wd. + or - cash. Thanks! |

2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
