You are bidding on a one of a kind 1987 Buick Grand National. I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle. I purchased the car 2 years ago from the original owner with 22,000 original miles on it. The car was sitting in a garage for 16 years. I had the entire motor rebuilt by Paul at No Limit Performance. A well renowned race engine builder with a reputation second to none. I explained I wanted the original car and engine to be built with todays technology. I have a complete build sheet on the car but I will list here with the exact details to be issued to a serious buyer. The interior of the vehicle is in pristine condition with no faults or blemishes what so ever. The car was sanded and painted by M3 Auto in Neptune NJ and was taken completely down to bare metal, epoxy primed and painted with 6 coats of paint and 12 coats of clear coat. The car has yet to be wet sanded and buffed and you will still see in the photos it has a mirror finish. The engine is an original matching numbers engine and has as follows:

3250 Stroker Crank with Chevy Journals Made in USA
Oliver racing Rods
Ross Pistons
Comp Cam Shaft
Engine was honed .25 and completely Glyptoned
Ported and Polished Heads
Crane Roller rockers and Rods
72MM GN1 Throttle Body
Edelbrock Manifold
Edelbrock Racing Fuel Rails
Edelbrock Plenum
70lbs HO Injectors
T72 Precision Turbo Charger
3" Down Pipe
External Waste Gate
Oversized Chrome intercooler
Aluminum Pulley System
High Volume oil pump
High Volume Fuel Pump
Level 10 Transmission with shift kit
9" Torque Converter
Aluminum 3" Radiator

Engine has 500 miles since rebuild.

There is way too much work that has been done to this GN but the car purrs like a kitten and will run low 11's on the track.
This is an adult driven GN and the car has been babied and well taken care of. You will not find a cleaner GN anywhere online. This car is a 5 time best of show winner and a 12 time top 5 winner in Northeast car shows. I have 16 GNX wheels on the car with the original 15" wheels in the garage and available. I have all the original parts as well. This auction is for the serious buyer that appreciates a meticulously done vehicle. This car is a must see. Please don't bid if you are not serious. I have a complete build sheet for the serious buyer. I am selling the car because I want to move on to the next project which is an old Chevelle rebuild/restore. 

Please only bid if you are serious.

Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.
