1987 Buick Grand National 9 second Street Car with multiple folders receipts and documentation all custom with only the best and most expensive parts and builders
I am a Physician and had the best builders, tuners and fabricators build this car from ground up for street and strip. There was no budget placed on the car and it ended up over 100K. The car was almost 20,000 initially and began about 5 years ago as an original undamaged 38,000 mile car. Engine and transmission was removed and stored and the car was taken apart professionally focusing on suspension and safety while engine and transmission were constructed.
the car is totally fresh only to car shows and work this year.
NO RUST!!! No accidents
Its ready for whatever the new intends to do, drive or race or both.

Upgraded GNX dash and Gauges
The Bad
there is any not bad but a few things to be aware of
AC need charging, I dont use it
Speedometer works but is jumpy, probably needs calibrated or replaced cable
Car had less than 300 miles on engine and trans and only been to track once since all freshened and literally every piece of suspension, brakes, battery alternator etc is brand new
I have the origianal dash odometer prior to GNX dash added that foes with care
total car miles less than 45 K on the body
Why would I sell after all this crazy money was spent?
Because I dont have time to race as a busy Specialist Physician and I just bought a Gallardo and deal was I quit racing if got a Lambo with the wife and I have way too many cars, I have a crazy mustang notch back available with and without drive train I will also be listing as well
Ask questions as there is literally no way to list everything done to this car and the receipts and paper work alone require several large folders
I have it all and it goes with car.
More pics available if needed
Car located right by Cincinnati OHIO
thanks for looking
Please no bidding if you do not have funds to buy in hand, car will appraise much higher than insured for, I only insured for 45,000 $ to keep the collector care insurance rate low
Car for sale locally and reserve right to end early.

Junkyard Gem: 1985 Buick Somerset Regal Limited
Fri, Aug 10 2018The Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac divisions of The General's mighty army got serious about their attempts to compete with futuristic and stylish German and Japanese coupes during the second half of the 1980s, with cars such as the Cadillac Allante, Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo, and Buick Reatta. They featured edgy styling, wild digital dashes, and other interesting gadgetry. Before them, however, came the Buick Somerset. Built for the 1985 through 1987 model years, only the '85s were badged as Somerset Regals. Here's one of those ultra-rare cars, spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. This badging confused many Buick shoppers at the time, because the 1985 Regal was a "traditional" midsize rear-wheel-drive car, based on the increasingly antiquated G-Body platform, and the Somerset Regal was an N-Body front-wheel-drive compact. For 1985 and 1986, the car became the Buick Somerset. The interior is your standard Whorehouse Red velour, a theme used by everybody from Nissan to Chrysler during the 1985-1995 period. This cloth looks pretty nice for a car from sunny California. Digital dashes became very trendy during this period, with Mitsubishi, Subaru, Nissan, and even Toyota getting into the act during the first part of the decade, and everyone else jumping on the bandwagon a bit later. The radio face went into this weird pod perched over the HVAC controls, which looked like something from the Mars Base and made aftermarket audio-system installation nearly impossible. The factory cassette deck, if desired, had to go elsewhere in the console. The base engine in the Somerset Regal was the decidedly un-European Iron Duke four-cylinder with 92 horsepower, but this car has the optional 120-horse 3.0-liter V6. In theory, a 5-speed manual transmission was available, but I'm guessing that the quantity of so-equipped Somerset Regals was numbered in the high dozens. There's plenty of hard red plastic and fake wood inside, of course. Base price on a V6 Somerset Regal Limited came to $10,026 (about $24,000 in 2018 dollars). Meanwhile, a Pontiac Grand Am LE with the 3.0 V6 was nearly the same car and listed at $8,970. If you wanted even crazier electronics and an interior that looked like something out of a jet fighter, the 1985 Subaru XT GL had a $9,899 price tag. Give me savvy. Give me cool. Give me a car that breaks all the rules. Give me the look. Give me the feel. Give me the magic. Give me the wheel.

Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
