For sale is the 1986 Buick Grand National which I have owned for 2 decades.  This car has much emotional value and has been in the family for a very long time.  The only reason I am selling it is because I am in need of a pickup truck for work.  It is far from perfect but we made every effort to give it the power it deserves while maintaining it as close to stock as possible (i.e. no crazy upgrades, just ones that made sense).  Vehicle has never been raced.  All of the following engine work has less than 3000 miles on it.

Powertrain work:

GN1 Upgrade Kit from Poston Enterprises:

Champion Roller Rockers.  Champion GN1 Heads.  Hi-Per Rebuild Kit with Forged Pistons and 030 rings.  Rod and main bearings.  Head bolts.  Valve covers.  Valve seals.  Oil pump booster plate.  Timing cover.  40lbs injectors.  Special computer chip for fuel injectors.  TE44C turbo charger.  Turbo oil feed line.  65mm plenum.  65mm throttle body.  Duttweiler neck.  Exhaust down pipe.  All of this was done along with a full rebuild of the original engine block.  Also, transmission fully rebuilt, driveshaft fully rebuilt, rear axle service, new brakes, new tires, new aluminum wheels, new suspension including coil springs, new 3 inch aluminum radiator for cooling.  And of course, a torque strap, new coil, wires, spark plugs, water pump, timing chain kit, etc....

Body work:

The only body work I have done on the car is replace them awful bumper fillers that flake and fall apart with upgraded fiberglass fillers.  The trunk lid has about a 3 inch by 1/2 inch section of rust.  The remainder of the body is in excellent condition.

Interior work:

I installed the VDO gauges on the pillar, speed overlay on the cluster.  Seats and interior is original.  Dash has a 5 inch section that is pulling up and should be relatively easy to repair.  The T tops are original and do not leak.  The headliner needs some adhesive.  The little chrome strip across the dash is pealing.

All the engine parts were powder coated to keep from dis coloring or peeling.  The car runs like a rocket.  Serious bidders only please.  This car is available to be seen prior to auction end but be aware, this car has never been abused nor will it be as long as I own it, so please do not think you are coming to take it out and rip up the asphalt on my watch...  Any questions are welcome.  $250 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction ending.  Buyer arranges pickup or shipping, I am more than willing to accomodate meeting the transport or anything of that nature.

Buick Envision aces IIHS crash tests

Tue, Sep 27 2016

If you had any qualms about the safety of a Chinese-built car, set them aside. At least when it comes to the Buick Envision. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the new GM crossover and it passed with flying colors. The Envision is the first Chinese-built Buick sold in the States, and it's also the first Chinese-built car the organization has ever tested. In what is an impressive feat for any new automobile, it earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This means the crossover comes equipped with a forward collision warning system and earned "Good" marks in all types of collisions, including the difficult small overlap crash test. In addition to the forward collision warning system, an automatic emergency braking system is available on the Envision. Eleven other vehicles earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, including models from Volvo, Lincoln, Acura, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Infiniti. That's good company, and combined with a pleasant, if not world-beating, driving experience, should make the Envision a car worth consideration. Related Video:

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022

Fri, Mar 18 2022

The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.

Avista concept shows Buick's performance potential [w/video]

Mon, Jan 11 2016

With names like Wildcat and Riviera in its past, Buick knows how to make a good-looking performance machine. It's just been awhile. But the Avista concept revealed Sunday night ahead of the Detroit Auto Show suggests Buick's sporting heritage might be more than relegated to grainy photos. The Avista is a 2+2 sports coupe running a twin-turbocharged V6 cranking out 400 horsepower through the rear wheels. Look familiar? It should, as it reprises many of the design cues from Buick's last show-stealer, the Avenir, which debuted a year ago in Detroit. "The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of global Buick sales, service, and marketing. "It is a modern expression of the brand's heritage of sophisticated performance, communicated with beautiful elegance." The front end features a prominent grille with Buick's newly colored tr-shield as the centerpiece. It's flanked by wings that stretch out horizontally and edgy headlights that portend the appearance of future Buicks. There's an aggressive fascia, chrome-trimmed vents, and it all rolls on 20-inch wheels. The Avista has a 110.7-inch wheelbase (which is the same as the Chevy Camaro), and the tracks measure 63 inches in front and 62.9 inches in back, which Buick says makes for a sporty stance. The B-pillarless cabin conjures the open layout of great boulevard cruisers of days gone by. It's done up in gray leather punctuated with carbon-fiber and aluminum accents. Yep, Buick does know how to do performance. In case you forgot, the Avista is a strong reminder of the past, and it offers hope for the brand's future. Watch the live unveiling in the video below. Buick Introduces Avista Concept Design elegance, performance heritage conveyed in turbocharged 2+2 coupe DETROIT – Ahead of its public debut at the North American International Auto Show, Buick today revealed the Avista concept – a 2+2 coupe that pushes the brand's contemporary design ethos and rekindles its historic performance roots. A sleek, sweeping proportion is the foundation for this vision of a contemporary grand tourer, with a 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6 driving the rear wheels and a driver-focused cockpit offering a comfortable, connected center of control. "The Avista embodies the dynamic soul of Buick," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick Sales, Service and Marketing.
