Overview
This is a true Grand National made to look like a GNX. Badging is only on the front grill and rear bumper as the GNXs were done, has wheel flares, side heat extractors, GNX turbo cover, 16 inch GNX style wheels and center caps. Also has the GNX gauge cluster in dash in lieu of the original analog 0 to 85 speedometer. This car is beautiful, almost flawless, has tons of power. Very quick. I am the fourth owner and have the previous titles.
Paint/Body
The paint is 6 years old and I would rate it a 9.5. Near perfect! Original metal all around, very sound body. It has both the upper and lower front fender bracing, and the bracing behind the rear seat. Stock Grand Nationals did not come with this, and the bracing certainly helps the rigidity for the torque this car has. New GNX door sill plates.
Interior
Impeccable with the exception of a wear or thin spot on the driver's seat right where your left knee would be. Not a burn mark or stain, just thin. Can't see it in the pictures as the color still matches the rest of the gray portion of the seat. Power antenna, power windows, locks, etc., all mechanicals work as they should. T-Top bags included, regular floor mats and GNX floor mats, and original owners manual. Again, GNX style gauges with 39,500 original miles. (original gauge set up included with car) Car Fax will verify, Auto Check will add 100,000 miles to it. A New York inspection in 2004 added 100,000 miles of driving since the previous inspection in 2002. Car Fax researched it and corrected it, Auto Check would not respond.
Suspension/Exhaust
New springs and Bilstein shocks added in 2009. Hooker high flow aluminum exhaust and mufflers, cat delete. GNX 16 inch wheels with BF Goodrich g-force tires, P245/50zr front and 255/50zr back with less than 4000 miles on them. Note the GNX differential cover, but car does not have the unique GNX ladder bar suspension.
Engine/Transmission
Now for the fun stuff. Engine and transmission are original and have not been apart. In lieu of the stock 28 pound injectors are 36 pound injectors. Car also has big mouth K&N air filter, polished air plenum, larger stage III turbo bell, billet fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge on fuel rail, hot wire set up for fuel pump, 93 octane chip, new alternator and battery. Air conditioner has been converted in 2008.
Summary
You'll notice my description is very factual and to the point, so you know exactly what you are getting. In my view, this is one of the most stunning beauties you'll find. It is an extremely quick and fast car that is a blast to drive, yet has all the comfort of a Buick. The Grand Nationals came loaded with options from concert sound AM/FM/Cassette, cruise, tilt, etc. You name it. You will not be disappointed. Feel free to ask questions via eBay.

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
