1987 Buick Grand National Turbo, Coupe, Black. on 2040-cars
Rolling Meadows, Illinois, United States
This car is in good condition but like most GNs it could use a little work. It runs and drives fine and the body has no visible rust or dents.
As for work done to the car, I have only done routine maintenance and replace the battery myself. From the paperwork I received from the previous owner, it appears the engine has been rebuilt, and the turbo was serviced as well. There is a "boost leak" when the turbo kicks in, it sputters. I have not had the time to look into this. From time to time the brakes seem "spongy" although the lines have been bled. There is also a minor squeal which sounds like a bearing, but I'm not sure. The interior is in great condition with the exception of the headliner which needs to be replaced and the dash which is cracked (you can see from the photos). The exterior has some minor flaws as well, such as minor chips, peeling at the bottom, clear coat spots, small paint blisters, the headlight surrounds are faded and cracked (also shown in the photos), and the wheels also have chipped paint. There is a slow leak on both rear right and front left tires, and looks as though they could use replacing. All in all it's a solid car for someone who has more time and a little extra money to enjoy it. The buyer is responsible for shipping and costs. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction or the car will be relisted. Arrangements for shipping/pickup must be made within 7 days or the sale will be void and the deposit will be forfeited. |

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
