(GARAGED CAR: SOME PICTURES WERE TAKEN AFTER THE CAR WAS PULLED OUT OF A HEATED GARAGE FOR BETTER LIGHTING)
1986 Buick Grand National Just under 55,000 original miles Documented history: Owned from 89-2009 by a Maine police officer, sold to a collector in 2009 in the same Maine town, sold to me in 2013 (NH) This is a garaged car, that has not been exposed to the elements. Not molested and mostly original with the exception of the radio, and power antenna, and brakes were recently done, from what I can see. I do not see evidence of repaint and the car was sold me as having 'original paint' and familiarity back to 1989 with the local ownership history. As you can see by the pictures the car is very straight and beautiful. If you look at the roof line at the right angle you will see a few dings (I believe a dent doctor can remove this and the former owner said something fell from garage racks some year back). There are a few paint chips and several minor blemishes around the car that I would characterize as normal wear for a 55k mile car that is 28 years old. There is one 'nickel sized' chip that has moisturized into the beginning of surface rust that I am monitoring (see picture) in rear quarter panel. I've debated having this fixed. Headliner is excellent but is starting to sag in some places. Interior is exceptional: Very clean, no stains, wear, or evidence of smoking/food. Dash is near perfect. The car runs and drives as it should. 1986 is my personal favorite of the Grand Nationals due to the rarity and equal performance to the fastest of the cars. There is file of receipts, magazine with a road test from the 80's, and a car cover that comes with car. CARS IN THE STATE OF NH ARE NOT TITLED OVER 15 YEARS OF AGE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A BILL OF SALE + REGISTRATION (YOUR STATE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND PROVIDE YOU WITH A TITLE IF YOU TITLE CARS IN YOUR STATE) SOLD 'AS-IS' If you have any questions: 603-715-7519 I PRODUCE THOSE MATS THAT THE CAR SITS ON IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PERSONALIZING A BLUEPRINTED MAT FOR YOUR COLLECTIBLE! |

Repo man pays off elderly couple's car just in time for Thanksgiving
Mon, Nov 28 2016Repo men get bad raps for a good reason; no one likes having their car taken away. At least one guy in the repossession game proved folks in his profession aren't all bad when he helped an elderly couple hold on to their wheels right before Thanksgiving. According to the Belleville News-Democrat, unexpected bills and the rising cost of prescription medications pushed Stanford and Patty Kipping's fixed income to the breaking point. Unable to keep up with the $95 dollar a month payment on their 1998 Buick, they fell into arrears and the bank sent a repo man out to their home in Red Bud, Illinois to reclaim the car. Jim Ford, co-owner of Illini Recovery Inc., hooked up the old Buick and dragged it away, but later that night his conscience caught up with him. "When I got home that night, I said to myself, 'They are a real nice elderly couple. I gotta do something. I can't just take their car,'" Ford told the News-Democrat. Ford did do something, something surprisingly humane. He set up a GoFundMe and, within just a few short hours, he raised more than $3,500 dollars. This was enough money to pay off the Kipping's loan with a little left over for some maintenance. Ford and a friend then hooked the car back up and towed it back to the Kipping's home. Ford presented the couple with their trusty Buick, and threw in a thousand dollars in an envelope and a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. "It was a miracle come true," Patty told the paper. "We didn't know what we were going to do." "I got up this morning and I looked up at the sun and I said, 'I hope we get our car back,'" added Stanford. "It's just unbelievable."Related Video: News Source: Belleville News-Democrat Auto News Weird Car News Buick repossession repo man
Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach
Sun, Aug 16 2015The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
