2,627K MILE ORIGINAL TURBOCHARGED BUICK GRAND NATIONAL

Grand Nationals that have not been modified and been kept in outstanding original condition are getting very rare indeed. How about one that has only 2,627K miles and has been kept original and pampered its entire life. The ones in this condition don’t come up for sale often. The market on these has been climbing making these GN's clearly collectible and desirable for all car collectors. Check out the Hagerty website on-line car value guide and you will see the value for GN’s increasing and GNX decreasing. This GN is outstanding and matching numbers in all aspects. It was an occasional driver and trailered to shows and never modified or driven hard. 100% stock and original.

There are some GN’s that are considered ‘lightweights’ by the GN collectors. These are cars did come with T-tops (that DOES NOT leak), NO power windows, NO power door locks, NO power seats, and NO cruise control. Very desirable.  This is one of those rare ‘lightweights’. I have never seen another with the T-top option as a ‘lightweight’. Simply put, original and very fast. It does have AM/FM stock radio and the G80 posi rear-end.

This Buick Grand National is sure to satisfy even the most discriminating 80’s muscle car enthusiast.

Mechanically:

This GN performs exceptionally - as new.  It is very quick and aggressive.  It needs no mechanical attention in its completely stock form.  New battery installed January 2014.  The AC unit needs to be recharged, minor detail.  The vehicle does not have a hint of rust. It is tight and handles and stops superbly.  It still wears its original tires that are not dry rotted or flat spotted.

Exterior cosmetics:

The black paint is original and looks great; the car has never been hit or been repaired.  The paint and body panels are exactly as it left the manufacturing plant in September 1987.  The GN’s only modification is the professional installation of side and rear window tinting.  

Interior cosmetics:

The interior is exceptional!  No wear, stains or cracks.  It smells like a factory new GN when you open the doors.  Never smoked in or mistreated in any fashion and no alterations from stock equipment have been made.

Special Note:

Vehicle comes with full ownership documentation, purchase & sales brochures, and the original sales agreement. Additionally, the GN comes with DUSTOP cover for maximum dust protection for indoor storage and with an exterior Weathershield car cover.  Even signed by Molly (now deceased) on the 20th reunion celebration for the Buick GN (in 2007)!  

As with all used collector cars this is sold as is and there is no warranty expressed or implied.  It is your responsibility to bid and purchase based only on your own inspection/examination of the vehicle and the facts.  Please feel free to contact me with your questions and with any assistance you might require in bidding or finalizing the sale.

A very reasonable reserve has been set for this magnificent vehicle!

Payment and deposit for this vehicle is to be by Wire Transfer or Certified Funds (cashier check).  The required deposit for this superb GN is $1,000.00 within 48 hours following the end of the auction and full payment is due within 5 days following the end of the auction.  Pickup and/or shipment is the sole responsibility of the buyer. IF THE TRANSACTION IS NOT PAID WITHIN THE TIME ALLOWED, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN YOUR DEPOSIT AND RESELL TO THE NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER OR RE-LIST THE ITEM.

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
