Historic Rare & Extremely Low Miles Original Paint Interior Drivetrain 11sec Car on 2040-cars
Moorestown, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1986 Buick Grand
National with 8,361 miles and the original paint, interior, engine, trans and
front tires. This is one of the lowest mileage Grand Nationals
you will ever find. I am the second owner. I bought it MAR 2006 when
it had 6,492 miles on it. I put 1,100 miles on it the first two years and
added the remaining 750 miles over the past six years. I change the oil
& lube the chassis every fall with Castrol GTX and a Delco filter. I drive it during the spring through fall in the
morning or at dusk. After she cools down I dust her off and spray polish
the exterior then cover her back up with a dust cover in the garage.
Before getting parked for the winter she gets a top off with 93 octane and fuel
stabilizer. In the spring she gets a can of octane booster. The car
sits on a trickle charger when not in use. Battery was replaced ~ NOV 2013 due
to a bad cell. Car runs strong, doors have that new car closing sound and
the A/C is cold. Freon was switched to R-134 when I bought it in 2006.
1986 had a production run of ~ 5,000 units vs the ~ 20,000 units in 1987. The original owner of the car is a friend of my father's from high school. He worked for GM and bought the GN from Dearden Buick in Langhorne, PA. He had a car collection of ~ 12 cars in a 100' long pole barn. In 2006 he was selling his house and cars to move to another state and sold her to me.
What was done...that I know of. The original owner did not do any internal engine mods. Everything was bolt-on. The original inter cooler and emissions gear are in a box and come with the car. I have to look to see if the original turbo is in the box.
Original Window Sticker, owner’s manual, warranty book included Copy of
original title included
Total base 1986 was: $14,153 Codes on Window Sticker:
After adding the mods and tuning, the original owner trailered the car to Atco Raceway (Southern
NJ) for a private rental and on the 1st or 2nd pass it hit the expected
ETA. Total passes on the car are no more than six to dial-in the tune with the fastest being 11.962 @ 113.02 mph with 1.701 60 ft on drag radials. I am including the time slip. The car was tuned to run 11.6's with slicks. She wears street radials
now and never had slicks on due to the fact slicks will destroy a rear. No roll bar is in the car or has ever been installed. Assuming a 200 lb driver and 3500 lb vehicle, to hit a 11.6-11.9 sec time @ 113-119 mph requires 425 - 470 HP at the rear wheels. There is minor etching in the door paint under the side moldings and along the trunk edge (1980’s GM products had horrible original paint). I have taken photos to document this. Car has been in a garage for 28 years so it could be a lot worse. It is only original once. When I was swapping garages last fall, I noticed around the driver’s coat hook in the back the headliner has started to sag. There are a few small sags on the left rear side along with the sun visors showing signs of the headliner glue failing. It decided to leave it alone to further keep it original. Pictures document these. No matter how many times I buff the plastic bumper to body inserts the fade always comes back. This is just a product of 28 year old plastic. It is not cracked…just keeps fading. Pictures document it. I will be available to show the car locally within a reasonable distance and time. Car is located near Moorestown, NJ 08057 zip code (across from Philadelphia, PA). Buyer is responsible to ship the car from my place to their destination. I will work with the buyers transportation company to move the car to a nearby location (an open parking lot) for them to load. Car has a clean title. By bidding, the buyer understands and agrees the car is sold as-is…where-is…no warranties are expressed or implied. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also for sale locally. Send me a message via ebay with any questions. Send me your phone number or personal email if you want to discuss the car or need more photos taken. |

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
2018 Buick Regal GS : The 310-hp American hot hatch
Wed, Jul 19 2017Buick has spent the last decade shredding its perception as the low-level luxury vehicle for geriatrics, but the brand hasn't always been associated with that crowd. In fact, ask some enthusiasts and you'll hear about the GM 3800 series engines, IndyCar racing, and the mythical GS and GNX. In that high-octane theme, GM pulled back the curtain on the all-new, all-wheel drive, 310-horsepower 2018 Buick Regal GS Wednesday morning in Milford, MI. The GS is basically a sport-tuned version of the all-new Buick Regal. We've seen the standard and high-riding wagon variants, but this is our first look at what's likely to be the enthusiast pick. The Regal GS uses the five-door sportback bodystyle from the standard car (though a GS version of the TourX would be awesome), swiped from GM's soon-to-be former German division, Opel. While a number of automakers are downsizing engines, Buick is soldiering on with its tried and true naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, in this guise making 310 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic. The all-wheel drive system uses a twin-clutch setup and has been tuned specifically for the GS. The Regal GS makes more power than both the Acura TLX A-Spec (290 horsepower) and the Lexus IS350 F-Sport (306 horsepower). The V6 features both cylinder deactivation and auto stop/start for better fuel economy. The fully independent suspension uses the second-gen Continuous Damping Control (CDC), capable of 500 adjustments per second. Selectable modes allow the driver to tailor the car to fit the situation. Large Brembo front brakes are surrounded by standard 19-inch wheels and tires. The exterior gets a few styling changes like a sporty front and rear fascias, a small rear spoiler, and plenty of GS badges. Inside, the Regal GS gets unique sport seats with integrated headrests and adjustable lumbar and thigh bolsters. They even come standard with heating, ventilation, and massaging functions. The driver faces a GS badged flat-bottom steering wheel and GS-specific pedals. A full-color heads-up display is optional. Available safety features include front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warnings, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. The real key for the success of the Regal GS could be pricing.
BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card
Thu, Feb 16 2023Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
