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):

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.

2020 Buick Encore, Encore GX set for Shanghai debut

Tue, Apr 2 2019

Buick says it will debut the all-new 2020 Encore small crossover and new-for-China Encore GX compact crossover at the Buick Brand Night April 15 in Shanghai on the eve of Auto Shanghai 2019. They'll join the updated 2020 LaCrosse and LaCrosse Avenir sedans, which GM is discontinuing here in the U.S. Buick released a darkened teaser image of both vehicles in rear three-quarters view, though it's a little hard to tell which is which (we're going with the GX being the one on the right). It suggests the Encore gets more streamlined taillights that taper along the rear liftback, with some redesigned creases on the door panels and haunches. The latter don't appear to be present on the Encore GX, which Buick says is a new addition to the model series in China. Both will be offered with GM's new nine-speed Hydra-Matic and continuously variable transmissions, plus what Buick says will be "enhanced connectivity," including new technologies. They'll join the Envision and Enclave for China, which is Buick's largest market. First introduced in 2013, The Encore was last refreshed for 2017. It has been the top-selling Buick model in the U.S. for the past 3 years, with 93,073 sold last year, up 5.7% from 2017.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

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.
