1986 Buick Grand National/t-type on 2040-cars
Joliet, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is my Buick Grand national of about 6 years. I was told it is a Grand National from the previous owner. I have found no reason to believe different. The Vin shows it to be a T-type which is correct for a GN in 1986. The vehicle history shows it as a GN. I purchased this car from the second owners as a roller. Vehicle check says four owners. I believe the guy I bought it from had to change the title to his name after his dad gave it to him. Second owner had car repainted by a local body shop in early 2000's. I finished the rest of the car. I had the engine professionally built with many aftermarket parts. Only things stock under the hood is the crank, block and fuel injector rail that I can think right now. Car runs good and strong. Does not burn oil or drink coolant. I have never had it at the track so I can't tell you what it runs. It's set around 18 psi now. Had it up to 23 psi and it's incredbily fast! It was a cruise night car for me then I bought a Cobra. This car went to the backburner. I have had the car out three times in the last two years. I may have put 300-400 miles tops on it since it's been running. So I'm looking to make room for a new project. This car is not a museum piece. It shows well and is a great show and cruise night car. But if your looking for a 10 out of 10 mint car this is not for you. The bad. Digital dash doesn't work all the time. Fuel pressure gauge mounted on hood isn't showing accurate readings. No a/c or heat. Manual brakes. It had a powermaster but I prefer the piece of mind that the brakes won't fail me. I built a custom exhaust and it may be to loud for some. Hood insulator is gone. It was dirty and I didn't like the way it looked. Some seepage from oil pan gasket. The paint looks good. It's not factory good. People always commented on how good the car looked. There is some (very little) surface rust on the bottoms of doors. No rot or holes. You can see in pics the bottom inside lips of doors were repaired. I do not know where else there may be bondo. I am very particular on vehicles. Pictures do not show imperfections well. There are some here and there. Serious buyers should see car in person. Note that in some pictures leaves on the ground are reflecting off of paint. It's not rust. The paint shines and reflects well. Interior is in good shape. Seats look very good. Some wear shows on dash and doors. Headliner is good. Steering wheel leather is very good. Stock radio works. Sometime it takes a few seconds to come on. Power antenna works. Power windows work but are slow. Common with these cars. Glass is all good. Pro comp boost/vac, water temp, oil pressure mounted above glove box. Pro comp tach middle of dash. Scan master. Coolmist controller. The engine consist of. $1950 spent at machine shop. Large K&N, Ls1 air meter, MAF translator, Precisions intercooler, Coolmist progressive alky, GN 1 polished large throttle body and dog house, GN1 ported and polished intake, RJC power plate, JE forged pistons, H rods, Comp 212 roller cam kit, roller rockers, RJC head gaskets and aluminum head clamps, ARP studs and bolts, GN 1 aluminum heads and valve covers, poston headers, Precisions turbo, pre turbo oil filter, stainless down pipe, new front cover with high volume oil pump, new water pump, new oil pan, RJC biggie oil filter adaptor, aluminum underdrive pullies, voltage booster, A/C delete accessory bracket, aluminum radiator, low profile electric fan, Mini starter, complete new wiring harness, 50 lbs injectors, holley fuel pressure regulator, RJC RM plug wires, turbo tweak alky chip, PCV air/oil separator, brand new battery, brand new GM ignition box, RJC rear motor brace. Pats torque converter, new transmission, old one had a crack in the housing. Aluminum driveshaft, Aftermarket rear end upper and lower control arms. Stock rear end in great shape. Gas tank is in good shape with walbro pump that is hot wired. Weld wheels with brand new tires. Nitto drags on the back. I have a aftermarket big front sway bar that isn't on the car but will come with it. There are many extras I will include if buy it now is reached. Front drag skinnies I bought but never put on car. They are used but nice, spare fuel pump, car cover, another turbo and lots of other stuff I have lying around. Anyone who knows these cars and how much their parts cost will know how much money is into this car. Any questions please ask. I'm sure I have missed some things. Money scammers can move on to your next victim. If you do not have the funds please don't bid. I am a honest seller. Check my feedback. Looking for a F250, F350 in good shape no rust with low miles. + or - cash. Thanks! |

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’
Wed, Mar 4 2020WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.
Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick 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.
