Engine:3.8 sfi turbo
For Sale By:Private Seller
Drive Type: rear wheel drive
Make: Buick
Mileage: 15,215
Model: Grand National
Trim: coupe
I thought that I would never ever sell this car, but things change. I am selling my dream 1987 Buick Grand National that is in mint condition with only 15,215 miles on it. It is all stock except for: newer high dollar show paint, newer battery, brand new headliner, brand new floor mats, brand new valve cover gaskets, chrome turbo cover, brand new GNX/GTA rims, tires, lug nut covers, and center caps. The only reason for the base/clear paint was because the original paint was checking as all Grand Nationals did. This paint job is better than the factory paint ever was. The paint and body are a strong 9.7 out of 10, and that is being picky. The interior is a a 9.5 out of 10 only because it is not a brand new car. Never smoked in. Interior still smells new. Body has NO rust at all and never has. Everything works except for the A/C. It just needs a recharge. I have the original rims with all of the original caps and lugs. The rims even have the original tires on them still. The rims would need to be re-chromed to be in show condition. The previous owner stored them in his musty basement and they have some surface rust. The only other flaw in the whole car is the driver side window weather strip that runs diagonal and vertical has a tear in it.
My car runs, drives, shifts, and handles just like it did when it came from the factory as a new car. It is 99% stock and still has the factory 1987 exhaust system. It has never been beaten, raced, crashed, or pushed beyond its limits. It has been a show car and weekend toy its whole life. Always kept in a climate controlled garage and stored properly during the winter. Look at all of the pictures. You can take my car to your favorite car show as it sits. It is fully detailed and just waxed with Pinnacle wax (the best you can buy). If you are in the market for one of the nicest Grand Nationals under $25,000 in the country, this is it. This very rare, low mile, stock, investment quality, beauty would look incredible in your garage...wouldn't it???
Note: I still owe a few dollars on the loan that I used this car as collateral for. The title is at my local credit union, and can be easily obtained. If you have any questions or would like to see the car in person, just e-mail. Thank you for looking.

Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
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.
