Circumstances are forcing me to sell (kids and a mortgage).

Here is my 86 Grand National.  Car is a blast to drive and is driven to cruise nights and to get the groceries.

Will tell the good first -

Motor overhauled 20000 miles ago give or take.

Full ARP fasteners, bored 30 over with TRW pistons, billet main center caps, Comp cam 206/206 roller, comp roller chain, comp roller lifters, 3' terry Houston down pipe, nos gm front cover, new timing gears, bigger core radiator, hi-flow water pump, k-motion valve springs, new gm oil pump gears, new fuel injector harness, metco lower rear trailing arms, boxed uppers, 60 lb injectors, CPT 61 ball bearing turbo, PTE stock location intercooler, 3.5' mass air flow sensor with translator, razors alky single nozzle injector, vacumm brakes with s-10 rear wheel cylinders, Scanmaster,  powerlogger, innovative NIB wideband (new in box not yet installed), tires are 75%, Transmission was rebuilt in april 2014 with stock converter and has a year warranty by a local shop. New alternator, K&N air filter. New headliner 3 weeks ago. , Hardtop car with power windows and locks, and the turbo tweek chip for the set up

Car starts and runs like it should.

The bad -

Needs a front ball joint. In original paint - looks good at 20 feet but @ 27 yrs old the paint has typical signs of age.  Drivers door has rust on the skin, the deck lid has some bubbling , RR quarter has some bubling and small ding.  Interior is a 6 of 10 - drivers seat has small tear in back,  needs carpet, front dash speaker cover is missing, sun visors are sagging.  Needs a new fuel pump has hot wire kit with walbro pump but will not maintain consistent pressure.  Windshield has crack in it.  The mileage on odometer reads 50400 - title does not state if it is accurate. passenger window rolls up real slow, a/c needs charged

It is a great car for a driver with all the right upgrades - a blast to drive.  If you have any questions feel free to call 217-357-1167 if no answer leave a message I will call back.  There is a lot of money in just the upgrades.  Some paint and a couple of minor things and it would be an excellent car to enjoy.  I sure do.

Car is for sale local also  I reserve the right to end early thanks

The pictures was taken while installing new alternator it is on and working so never mind the battery charger thanks

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

GM issues CUV stop-sale due to Goodyear tires [UPDATE]

Thu, Jan 22 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that only 6,281 tires were installed on the CUVs, when in actuality, there were 6,281 CUVs affected by the stop-sale order, totaling 25,124 tires. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on some 6,300 of its Lambda platform crossovers due to a pending recall on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. The affected vehicles include all three flavors of GM's large CUV platform, consisting of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. Goodyear is recalling a total of 48,500 Fortera HL tires after discovering "very small" cracks in the tread, found during internal testing. Of the affected tires, 32,100 were made for GM, Goodyear told Automotive News. According to GM, 6,281 CUVs were fitted with the questionable rubber, totaling 25,124 of the company's 32,100 tires. The remainder were stocked as replacements, a GM rep told Autoblog. The remaining 16,400 tires were built specifically for the aftermarket. Goodyear reports that the cracks do "not indicate a safety issue." Meanwhile, a GM spokesman told AN that stop-sale "will eventually lead to a non-compliance recall by GM."
