Up for auction is one of the best Grand Nationals I have ever owned. I have had about 6 of these including a WE4 and a GNX which I sold in a pinch for $32K. Seems like every time money gets tight the first thing to go is the Grand National. This time it’s a 1987 Buick Grand National. Highly optioned car including power seats, concert sound, (all power everything works), Posi rear end etc. This car has close to 90 RPO codes on the trunk label. It is a highly optioned, body by Fisher 1987 GN. This car's mechanicals have less than 11,000 miles on them. This engine which is very well broken in now is like new. Suspension like new. Drives like a newer car.

Over the years I have just come to terms that any Grand National with 75K miles on it needs certain things done. Especially if the car has been abused at all. This car came to me from a NJ guy that moved to Florida. I bought the car from him after he threw a ton of money into it. He did the entire suspension and undercarriage as well as the mechanicals so the car would drive like new for his wife. It was her driver here in South Florida. I bought it as a driver too. I drive it in 100 degree weather with the AC blasting and it runs between 167-182 all day – even in traffic. The oil pressure is super strong since the car has a high volume oil pump. Oil pressure stays North of 35lbs at idle while hot and usually stays above 50lbs driving around at 1500 rpm. It can be as high as 75lbs when it’s cold. There are more than $8,000.00 in high performance parts just from the rebuild. There is far more than $10,000 under the hood. So that is basically what I will take for the car. The car is basically free you are just paying for the engine and engine work done to the car.

The brakes have been converted/upgraded for safety from powermaster (Death Trap) to Kirban’s Hydroboost vacuum operated system. Also done by trackside performance here in South Florida.

Car is a highly optioned car.

Jeff Rodick- Trackside Performance (google him – Jeff Rodick Trackside Performance) did the work on the car and has been taking care of the car for the past 2 years. He runs a Buick Grand National race and tuning shop in South Florida. His car was into the low 10’s before it was stolen in Bowling Green at the Buick National a couple of years ago. He built this car’s mechanicals. It is rock solid. (lots of receipts provided with sale):

GN1 Steel Crank

SCAT Connecting Rods

Cometic Head Gasket

Replaced Timing valve cover – High Volume

JE Pistons and Rings

Machined heads

Dyno runs after the build…. Engine produced 385hp at the wheels and 431 torque at 10 lbs of boostin the Florida heat 92 degrees outside. Any low mileage GN for sale, over 100k miles, is going to need all this work done in short order due to tremendous under-hood heat that wears out components and quality of OEM parts. This car is a driver but it also a modified performance car. It can be driven anywhere with the AC on, wipers running, windows functioning, radio and cassette playing. It drives like a new car down the highway. No shakes, rattles or leak issues. This car is beyond tight.

I run Mobil 1 synthetic + Zinc Additive(every 3500 miles) and engine idles smoothly and rumbles (has a great sound of course) at 30-45 psi oil pressure hot. Also as a bonus, this car comes with an appraisal completed in 2008 by Auto Appraisal Group. The car appraised at that time for $18,000.00 for insurance purposes based on a “sound” determination by the appraiser which means the car is daily driven. The only difference is that the car is mechanically much stronger now, with safer braking system thanks to Kirban’s and the bumper inserts need to be replaced. This car is basically a resto-mod without the body restored. The suspension and the mechanicals are done. (The hard part). You can finish the body to your liking.

In addition to the appraisal, this car comes with all of its original paperwork from day 1. Even the bill of sale and finance contract, long expired warranty paperwork etc. No surprises with this car. No gremlins. I took pictures of this car to feature its shortcomings (which are body), nothing mechanical is listed in the car’s shortcomings. It needs cosmetics but I would not hesitate to drive this car coast to coast to coast and back right now. It loves the highway although it will run 11’s as it sits. I baby it though. I am too old for headaches and have spent a lot of hard earned money making it mechanically sound and a beast (a fine balance). Had it built special so it would never give me any problems- not overpowered like some cars. Car is sold as is and where is and the buy it now is very close to the reserve. If the car does not meet the reserve I will not sell it. There is $10,000 easy under the hood. Like I said before, the car is basically free. So as is, where is. No warranties expressed or implied. Happy bidding. Car comes with all its original paperwork since birth with even the GM warranty card. Too much to list here. It also comes with a clean Florida title. Heck, it even has a factory alarm.

2024 Buick Envision previewed with new design, Super Cruise technology

Tue, Jun 13 2023

The second-generation Buick Envision will enter the 2024 model year with an array of updates inside and out and Super Cruise hands-free technology. While the model won't make its full debut until later in 2023, an official preview image gives us a good idea of what to expect. Buick designers gave the Envision's front end a complete overhaul; this is not a subtle nip-and-tuck. The crossover gets a bigger grille positioned lower on the front fascia, bright trim, and the new Buick emblem on its hood. The headlights are now integrated into the bumper, Jeep Cherokee-style (or Citroen-style, depending on where your automotive references lie), and LED daytime running lights replace the outgoing Envision's headlights. The revamped look brings the Envision in line with other recent additions to the Buick range, like the Encore. We'll need to be patient to find out what the rear end looks like, though the overall proportions haven't significantly changed. Similarly, Buick hasn't released photos of the interior yet. We're guessing that infotainment- and trim-related changes will be part of the 2024 updates. The updated Envision will bring the Super Cruise technology already available in several General Motors products, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, to the Buick brand for the first time. Likely offered as an option with a four-digit price tag, the system will allow drivers to take both hands off the wheel when the right conditions are met; the car notably needs to be on a highway that General Motors has mapped. Super Cruise won't make the Envision autonomous, the driver will need to remain focused on the road ahead and ready to take over if needed, but it should make long trips less tiring. As of writing, General Motors has mapped over 400,000 miles of roads in the United States and Canada. Built in China, the 2024 Buick Envision will go on sale across the nation before the end of 2023. More details about it will emerge in the coming months. It's too early to tell what's next, but the company promised it will unveil two additional new vehicles before the end of 2024.

Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds Â– AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Â– The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced today a historic commitment by 20 automakers representing more than 99 percent of the U.S. auto market to make automatic emergency braking a standard feature on virtually all new cars no later than NHTSA's 2022 reporting year, which begins Sept 1, 2022. Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
