1987 Buick Grand National 3.8 Turbo 81,xxx Miles Original Paint Interior Built on 2040-cars
Alpine, California, United States
This is the Grand National to have. Plain and simple. Original California car. The car has 81,000 original miles on the chassis. Mileage matches with the title. The engine was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago with bigger pistons, roller rocker cam, new seals and gaskets, and everything else in a rebuild. The turbocharger is a larger TA-40 Garrett with a matching larger intercooler as well. The transmission was rebuilt less than 7,000 miles ago with upgraded components and a shift kit as well as a deep sump transmission oil pan. Rear end is posi-traction with deeper gear oil pan. Aftermarket sway bars are wider diameter than stock. Upgraded Vacuum brake booster system with larger diameter bore brake calipers for better braking. Aftermarket traction bars. Air ride suspension which can be adjusted with air valves installed in the rear bumper. Centerline racing wheels and good tires, wider in the back for more traction. Engine also has aftermarket MAF sensor, air intake tubes, Kenne Bell Ram air intake system and air filter, aftermarket fuel injector ecu, adjustable crank positioner, gutted catalytic converter, dual exhaust, Kenne Bell gauge panel, 140 mph speedometer, aftermarket chips, and computer terminal for engine tuning and dyno runs.
The interior and exterior are original. The mirrors and spoiler have been repainted but everything else in original paint. The clear coat has very small cracks in it but it looks fantastic. There is a dent on the passenger side door, couple dings on the hood, and a much fainter one on the driver side door but besides that there isn't much else. The car is beautiful. These are getting very hard to find and one in this shape with this few original miles is very limited. I absolutely love this car. It hauls ass. Will smoke any Honda or Mustang on the road but I'm on my out of the country for awhile and want someone who can keep it maintained and in its excellent condition. The car has been garaged its whole life and you can tell by looking at it. Also has an Eclipse Subwoofer, Kenwood amplifier, Kenwood stereo with auxillary port for your MP3. I have receipts for everything listed in this ad. Over $16,000 in parts alone have been spent on this car. That's not including labor. The title is clean and in my name. Registration is up to date. If you are in California I will need to smog it before you pick it up or ship it. I know I'm forgetting other things on this car. You wouldn't be able to build this car for less than $30,000. The buyer is responsible for shipping. Nonrefundable deposit of $500 within two days of winning the auction. ORIGINAL Wheels are included with the vehicle along with the Centerline wheels. |

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met
Sat, May 9 2015After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
Buick confirms 2017 Encore for New York Auto Show
Thu, Feb 4 2016Buick will unveil the refreshed 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show in March, company spokesperson Stuart Fowle tells Autoblog. The brand isn't ready to divulge info about the updated compact crossover, but a recent revision to the Encore's European platform-mate, the Opel Mokka (above), might provide hints about what to expect. "While we have no additional details to announce, we're excited to confirm that media and customers will see the new 2017 Encore at next month's New York Auto Show. The Encore joins the Cascada convertible, Envision crossover, and LaCrosse sedan as the fourth new product arriving in Buick showrooms this year," Fowle said to Autoblog. Expect the 2017 Encore to have its own twist on the the Mokka's (now called the Mokka X) exterior styling, and spy shots hint the Buick has a new front end with a smaller grille. The Encore could benefit from the Opel's redesigned dashboard, which integrates the infotainment system into the center stack. It's a very attractive change, and we hope to see the switch in the US. The Mokka X also gets improved safety tech. The German compact CUV now sports adaptive LED headlights that adjust to traffic. US law doesn't allow these intelligent parts, but the Encore might get dumber LED lights. The Opel's improved front-mounted camera also increases the traffic sign detection rate. The Mokka X is available with the updated powertrain from the Encore Sport Touring, so there might not be any engine upgrades for the Buick. Buick needs to keep the Encore fresh, as the compact CUV is the brand's best selling model. It delivered 67,549 of them in 2015, a 38.2-percent jump over the previous year. The popularity continued into January 2016 with 4,920 deliveries – up 42 percent. Related Video:
