At the time of this writing, the car has approximately 128k miles, but I still drive this occasionally so the miles may increase a bit. Some highlights pertaining to the car and general descriptions of condition are outlined below:

1987 Grand National T-tops W/ Digital Dash 


Mechanical:
This car has rebuilt 3.8 sfi Turbo v6 engine,  30 over with new pistons, new timing set, all new gaskets new water pump and new oil pump.  I have all receipts***
It's tuned for superior performance, reliability and exceptional idle quality. The car has a "Turbo Tweak" chip, Bigger injectors, Scanmaster, hotwire kit, Walbro pump and a Casper's volt booster. RJC powerplate, It also has a 2-1/2 exhaust. New Valve springs, ported throttlebody/intake. It also has a 160 degree thermostat. It is running a Rebuilt Garrett TA49 turbo and Stock intercooler. Billet Adjustable FPR regulator, This combination results in a very quick-spooling, streetable package. I have not run this car in the mile nor am I interested in doing so...my goals for the car with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 300 mile road trip without worry. The drive train is in great condition and runs, shifts and drives great. The transmission is a rebuilt unit. Shifts are very firm and positive. As for the converter it is a red-stripe converter LU. This car also has g80 posi rear end with new fluid
 

Interior:
Clean no rips, Scanmaster,  boost and water temp console gauges, the interior is as it left GM in 1987. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet is clean. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 8/9 out of 10. 

Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
Grand National Rims with Mickey Thompson Drag Radials,

Summary/Price:
Overall, this is a very, very nice car I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal in the years I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am NOT faced with a "must sell" situation. General inquiries may be directed to me via text or call 786-487-9775 
This car is located in Miami, FL I encourage interested buyers to come see and drive the car as I don't want to deal with any sight unseen/buyer's remorse issues following the sale.

If you have any questions concerns or want to see the car in person feel free to text or call me

GM to offer U.S. Buick dealers buyouts

Sat, Sep 3 2022

General Motors Co said Friday it will offer all of its estimated 2,000 U.S. Buick franchise dealers buyouts as it moves to make the brand all-electric by 2030 in the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported the news earlier, quoting Global Buick chief Duncan Aldred who is set to discuss the plans with dealers Friday in a virtual meeting. He noted shifting to EVs will require significant investments by Buick dealers. "So if they want to exit the Buick franchise, then we will give them monetary assistance to do so," Aldred told the newspaper. Buick said in June it plans to introduce its first EV in 2024, but did not provide specifics. "The future dealer requirements are a logical and necessary next step on our path towards electrification to ensure our dealers are prepared to properly sell and service these unique vehicles," a GM spokeswoman told Reuters Friday. Last year, GM's Cadillac brand said it had thinned its dealer network as it shifts to EVs, saying it has nearly 40% fewer U.S. dealers than in 2018. GM booked a total of $274 million in costs during 2020 and 2021 related to the effort to buy out Cadillac dealers who were not prepared to invest $200,000 to $500,000 per store in the equipment and training to support the brand's shift to an all-electric vehicle lineup, planned by 2030. Buick traces its roots back nearly 120 years — five years before GM's 1908 founding — to an era when electric cars briefly outsold gasoline models in the United States. All Buicks sold back then were gasoline-powered. Future Buick electric vehicles in the United States and China will carry the Electra name, which dates back more than 60 years, along with an alphanumeric designator.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
