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.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward Â— perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?

Fri, Jul 21 2017

General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.

Meet the Buick Velite 7, the Chevy Bolt's Chinese cousin

Wed, Jun 17 2020

The Buick Velite 7 has officially been revealed after having been leaked and spied a few months ago. The name derives from Buick's line of electrified models it sells in China, of course the design shows it's most closely related to the Chevy Bolt EV. Buick hasn't revealed many details about it, and only one photo, but we do get to see it and we also have a range estimate. The range estimate is 500 kilometers on the NEDC cycle, which translates to 311 miles. That's actually less than the NEDC estimate for the Bolt EV, which is 565 kilometers or 351 miles, which increased for the 2020 model year from 520 kilometers or 323 miles. Of course NEDC figures tend to be much higher than EPA numbers, which rated the current Bolt EV at 259 miles and the previous version at 238. As such, we would expect this Buick to have an EPA range closer to 210 to 220 miles. We don't know what resulted in the lower range, but it could have something to do with additional weight or slightly worse aerodynamics. It could be both. Design-wise, the Buick is clearly based on the Bolt, but has a more aggressive front bumper and a trendy partially floating roof. It also seems to have a slightly boxier, taller profile, mainly because of the nose. Buick hasn't released any other details about the crossover, preferring to save them for the car's launch later this year. Since it seems so closely related to the Bolt, it probably has the same drivetrain: a single electric motor sending 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission.
