Fly High or Fly Low, this '87 GN Buick was photographed at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum, located only minutes from our showroom. Be sure to visit our friends at the Flight Museum if you find yourself in Dallas, Texas.

Buick's Grand National was in a class of its own. This was one of the fastest American production cars of its time. This is a true 1987 Buick Grand National with GNX trim added throughout. This is not one of the original 547 GNX Grand Nationals. This car has just had the GNX aesthetics added for the look.

This car can't be told from an original GNX from the exterior or interior. This '87 GN has some extra curb appeal to it for sure.

The exterior showcases one repaint completed in 2013 of the original black. The paint is in good condition. There are some paint chips and flaws when you look closely. The door jambs could have been finished out better.

Under the hood is the powerful 3.8 liter turbo-charged V6 engine. This engine was rebuilt in 2013 to stock specifications for reliability / driveability sake. We have receipts for much of the parts and work performed. Brass freeze plugs have been installed. The brake booster was upgraded to the newer GM booster to avoid future issues. The original Grand National power brake system was notorious for problems later in life. Further inspection of the engine compartment will reveal original sheetmetal throughout the firewall, inner fenders and core support. The intercooler piping is polished along with the turbo heat shield.

The interior features factory bucket seating in the original two-tone configuration. The upholstery is in good condition, front to back.

The dash displays the original instrumentation and radio, all functional. An aftermarket A-pillar gauge setup has been installed with an Air/Fuel ratio gauge and fuel pressure gauge. The fuel pressure gauge has some LEDs burned out. The dash itself is clean and straight, free of cracking or distortion that can occur with this generation with improper care and storage. There is a dual gauge pod just in front of the shifter with an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, again some of the LEDs are burned out.

The door panels are in decent condition and the door undersides are solid, indicative of a dry climate Grand National. This car needs some odds and ends to really finish it out. The outer window wipes are cracked and worn, in need of replacement. Also the door weatherstripping is worn and cracked in areas.

The undercarriage displays original flooring throughout. The front end suspension has been aligned and worked on recently. The U-joints have been recently replaced along with the tie rod ends with verifying receipts. The rubber frame bushings have been replaced with polyurethane bushings. The frame itself is in excellent condition throughout.

Buick's Grand National is equally at home on the track or the street. This example has not been raced. It is a street machine. The GNX-type wheels are fitted with recent radial tires sized at 245/50R16s and 255/50R16s.

Enjoy our remaining photos and again feel free to contact Dave at 214-213-7072 or Maris at 214-616-2317 with any questions. This is your opportunity to own a true 1987 Buick Grand National.

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles

Mon, Oct 19 2015

An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
