2,627K MILE ORIGINAL TURBOCHARGED BUICK GRAND NATIONAL

Grand Nationals that have not been modified and been kept in outstanding original condition are getting very rare indeed. How about one that has only 2,627K miles and has been kept original and pampered its entire life. The ones in this condition don’t come up for sale often. The market on these has been climbing making these GN's clearly collectible and desirable for all car collectors. Check out the Hagerty website on-line car value guide and you will see the value for GN’s increasing and GNX decreasing. This GN is outstanding and matching numbers in all aspects. It was an occasional driver and trailered to shows and never modified or driven hard. 100% stock and original.

There are some GN’s that are considered ‘lightweights’ by the GN collectors. These are cars did come with T-tops (that DOES NOT leak), NO power windows, NO power door locks, NO power seats, and NO cruise control. Very desirable.  This is one of those rare ‘lightweights’. I have never seen another with the T-top option as a ‘lightweight’. Simply put, original and very fast. It does have AM/FM stock radio and the G80 posi rear-end.

This Buick Grand National is sure to satisfy even the most discriminating 80’s muscle car enthusiast.

Mechanically:

This GN performs exceptionally - as new.  It is very quick and aggressive.  It needs no mechanical attention in its completely stock form.  New battery installed January 2014.  The AC unit needs to be recharged, minor detail.  The vehicle does not have a hint of rust. It is tight and handles and stops superbly.  It still wears its original tires that are not dry rotted or flat spotted.

Exterior cosmetics:

The black paint is original and looks great; the car has never been hit or been repaired.  The paint and body panels are exactly as it left the manufacturing plant in September 1987.  The GN’s only modification is the professional installation of side and rear window tinting.  

Interior cosmetics:

The interior is exceptional!  No wear, stains or cracks.  It smells like a factory new GN when you open the doors.  Never smoked in or mistreated in any fashion and no alterations from stock equipment have been made.

Special Note:

Vehicle comes with full ownership documentation, purchase & sales brochures, and the original sales agreement. Additionally, the GN comes with DUSTOP cover for maximum dust protection for indoor storage and with an exterior Weathershield car cover.  Even signed by Molly (now deceased) on the 20th reunion celebration for the Buick GN (in 2007)!  

As with all used collector cars this is sold as is and there is no warranty expressed or implied.  It is your responsibility to bid and purchase based only on your own inspection/examination of the vehicle and the facts.  Please feel free to contact me with your questions and with any assistance you might require in bidding or finalizing the sale.

A very reasonable reserve has been set for this magnificent vehicle!

Payment and deposit for this vehicle is to be by Wire Transfer or Certified Funds (cashier check).  The required deposit for this superb GN is $1,000.00 within 48 hours following the end of the auction and full payment is due within 5 days following the end of the auction.  Pickup and/or shipment is the sole responsibility of the buyer. IF THE TRANSACTION IS NOT PAID WITHIN THE TIME ALLOWED, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN YOUR DEPOSIT AND RESELL TO THE NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER OR RE-LIST THE ITEM.

2019 Buick Regal GS Review | Because Buicks are allowed to be cool, too

Mon, May 27 2019

Buick continues to try to convince everyone that its cars are cool, but we still haven't seen much evidence of this working. However, the 2019 Buick Regal GS is exactly the car that can help change people's minds about Buick in 2019. It has big red Brembos sitting inside superbly stylish wheels, bright red GS emblems everywhere, aggressive bodywork and some of the best sport seats in any car today. Buick truly made the GS look the part, and if you can get past the brand's Wal-Mart greeter personality, you're going to like the way it drives, too. The Regal GS is powered by GM's 3.6-liter V6 that makes a healthy 310 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque in this application. That gets mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, which is the only option for the GS this time around. The previous generation Regal GS offered a six-speed manual, but we weren't missing it too badly here. With seemingly every car under the sun going the turbocharged route, it was refreshing to see GM use a big, naturally aspirated V6. Even stranger was that the Regal GS before this one was boosted, so you could say GM went the opposite direction of the industry trend. That previous GS made 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder. So, while the V6 beats it by 40 horsepower, the old GS has it by 13 measly pound-feet of torque. Still, we dig the V6, because this car's power delivery is fantastic with a snarly but restrained exhaust note to go with. My largest quibble is taking off from a stop. The GS's throttle response is a little numb from the get-go, but put any revs to it and the car is ready to leap forward at any speed. This immediacy is increased when you put it into "GS" mode, which sharpens up the throttle, quickens shifts, stiffens the suspension, sends more power to the rear wheels and makes the steering heavier. The nine-speed is seamless and unobtrusive in traffic, but offers up surprisingly quick shifts when you're flat-out. Most of the time I end up ignoring the paddle shifters on cars with torque converter automatics, so I wasn't exactly missing them here. You can select the gears via the gear lever's slapstick function if you really want to, but it's hardly more engaging than just letting the car go at it. In GS mode it holds gears long enough and resists shifting out of the power band. During fall-attack on a backroad, it works smart and is on-par with the eight-speed in our Stinger GT long-termer.

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
