I spared no expense in restoring this 74k mile 1987 Grand National. WARNING: IMMEDIATE DEPOSIT OF $1,000 required at auction end. If you bid, be prepared to close immediately. I will pursue a non paying bidder with all available options. It's unfair to myself and real buyers when faux bidders run up prices with no intention to close.

If you have questions please call JT 561-702-6478. The Story Behind this 1987 Grand National. My father repaired and sold these, and similar, cars in NYC in the 80s. I graduated HS in 1987 and this was the car (Along with the Monte Carlo SS) that I dreamed of owning. My Dad passed away of cancer, and left me his tools (and many rare small parts). A year later I was stricken with cancer. I took 3 years off of work for the battle. Soon after my first operation I purchased this car, and began to restore her. Rebuilding the car was therapy to me, and gave me the chance to use my Dad's tools. It was a great distraction. As a result, I spent hundreds of hours sourcing, and installing parts, very likely more so than any reasonable person would normally put into a vehicle. However, in my circumstance it wasn't about the cost, it was about keeping busy. As a result, this car is over built. There are so many brand new parts you'll save yourself years of headaches. I even went so far as to change things just because they "Might" go soon, such as the new power antenna, new door lock actuators, and new power window motors. Meticulous? While restoring and upgrading the original Delco Bose Concert Sound Radio with EQ, I noticed that the radio was "hard wired" (the harness was missing). I went and got the harness, wired it, and plugged in the radio properly. If I noticed it, I made it like it was new or better. There is more done to this car than I would be able to describe in an Ebay Auction. List of Work, (Copies included with purchase) New Exact Match Show Quality Front Seats. New Exact Match Show Quality Back Seat New Shifter handle. Four new tires, less than 50 miles on tires! New Interior Carpet W/ rubber backing 2nd Battery Relocation Kit (second battery added in trunk) New Front Bumper inserts New Rear bumper inserts New Fuel Sending Unit New Seat Belt Plastic New Dash Speaker bezels (the entire length of windshield - always broken on these cars) New Front Power Seat Plastic Set New Manual Seat Plastic Set Transmission fluid Change New Transmission Gasket and Filter New Power Seat Switch NEW one piece speedo cable New Hoses New Seatbelt Guides T-Top Shades in Grand National Grey (Removable) New Buick Door Escutcheon ( pull straps ) & covers New Show Quality upper door panels New Lower Door Weather stripping seal Both left and right New Battery New Sound Deadening / Moisture Seal Material under seat New Delco Bose Concert Sound Radio w/ built in EQ and custom pre-amp outs and ipod jack (Radio looks like it's 1987 and plays like 2014 - amazing) New Mylar Water Shield for Sound Deadening / Moisture Seal Installed Anti Rattle Kit Both D/S and P/S Door latch mechanism replaced (with used) New Tach boost gauge New hot wire kit New door handle springs New sending unit, fuel pump, installed hot wire kit New cruise control and wiper arm New sound deadening moisture barrier New Steering wheel and center hub New Replaced rear shocks New Rear Springs New mass air pipe New vac block New & Installed trunk release (Was not an option on this car.

Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX
Wed, Dec 3 2014Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.
