Up for auction is one of the best Grand Nationals I have ever owned. I have had about 6 of these including a WE4 and a GNX which I sold in a pinch for $32K. Seems like every time money gets tight the first thing to go is the Grand National. This time it’s a 1987 Buick Grand National. Highly optioned car including power seats, concert sound, (all power everything works), Posi rear end etc. This car has close to 90 RPO codes on the trunk label. It is a highly optioned, body by Fisher 1987 GN. This car's mechanicals have less than 11,000 miles on them. This engine which is very well broken in now is like new. Suspension like new. Drives like a newer car.

Over the years I have just come to terms that any Grand National with 75K miles on it needs certain things done. Especially if the car has been abused at all. This car came to me from a NJ guy that moved to Florida. I bought the car from him after he threw a ton of money into it. He did the entire suspension and undercarriage as well as the mechanicals so the car would drive like new for his wife. It was her driver here in South Florida. I bought it as a driver too. I drive it in 100 degree weather with the AC blasting and it runs between 167-182 all day – even in traffic. The oil pressure is super strong since the car has a high volume oil pump. Oil pressure stays North of 35lbs at idle while hot and usually stays above 50lbs driving around at 1500 rpm. It can be as high as 75lbs when it’s cold. There are more than $8,000.00 in high performance parts just from the rebuild. There is far more than $10,000 under the hood. So that is basically what I will take for the car. The car is basically free you are just paying for the engine and engine work done to the car.

The brakes have been converted/upgraded for safety from powermaster (Death Trap) to Kirban’s Hydroboost vacuum operated system. Also done by trackside performance here in South Florida.

Car is a highly optioned car.

Jeff Rodick- Trackside Performance (google him – Jeff Rodick Trackside Performance) did the work on the car and has been taking care of the car for the past 2 years. He runs a Buick Grand National race and tuning shop in South Florida. His car was into the low 10’s before it was stolen in Bowling Green at the Buick National a couple of years ago. He built this car’s mechanicals. It is rock solid. (lots of receipts provided with sale):

GN1 Steel Crank

SCAT Connecting Rods

New Main Bearings Set

Cometic Head Gasket

Replaced Timing valve cover – High Volume

JE Pistons and Rings

Tranny filter kit – Shifts very strong

Pit Bull Exhaust

Upgraded fuel injectors

Entire block was hot tanked, line honed, complete valve job, internally balanced, blueprinted

Entire rotation was measured, weighted and balanced

Bobweight total 811.77 and reciprocating total 901

People say their engine has been balanced and blueprinted. This one actually has at a cost of over $10,000 under the hood.

Alignment

Custom EGR plate

High Volume oil pressure pump

All work performed by one of the best in the business

Machined heads

Performance intake

New camshaft position sensor

New Ignition Module and Ignition Control Unit

Ignition module Multilayer head gasket

High AMP alternator

All new hardware – Studs, Stainless Steel bolts for headers.

Dyno runs after the build…. Engine produced 385hp at the wheels and 431 torque at 10 lbs of boostin the Florida heat 92 degrees outside. Any low mileage GN for sale, over 100k miles, is going to need all this work done in short order due to tremendous under-hood heat that wears out components and quality of OEM parts. This car is a driver but it also a modified performance car. It can be driven anywhere with the AC on, wipers running, windows functioning, radio and cassette playing. It drives like a new car down the highway. No shakes, rattles or leak issues. This car is beyond tight.

I run Mobil 1 synthetic + Zinc Additive(every 3500 miles) and engine idles smoothly and rumbles (has a great sound of course) at 30-45 psi oil pressure hot. Also as a bonus, this car comes with an appraisal completed in 2008 by Auto Appraisal Group. The car appraised at that time for $18,000.00 for insurance purposes based on a “sound” determination by the appraiser which means the car is daily driven. The only difference is that the car is mechanically much stronger now, with safer braking system thanks to Kirban’s and the bumper inserts need to be replaced. This car is basically a resto-mod without the body restored. The suspension and the mechanicals are done. (The hard part). You can finish the body to your liking.

In addition to the appraisal, this car comes with all of its original paperwork from day 1. Even the bill of sale and finance contract, long expired warranty paperwork etc. No surprises with this car. No gremlins. I took pictures of this car to feature its shortcomings (which are body), nothing mechanical is listed in the car’s shortcomings. It needs cosmetics but I would not hesitate to drive this car coast to coast to coast and back right now. It loves the highway although it will run 11’s as it sits. I baby it though. I am too old for headaches and have spent a lot of hard earned money making it mechanically sound and a beast (a fine balance). Had it built special so it would never give me any problems- not overpowered like some cars. Car is sold as is and where is and the buy it now is very close to the reserve. If the car does not meet the reserve I will not sell it. There is $10,000 easy under the hood. Like I said before, the car is basically free. So as is, where is. No warranties expressed or implied. Happy bidding. Car comes with all its original paperwork since birth with even the GM warranty card. Too much to list here. It also comes with a clean Florida title. Heck, it even has a factory alarm.

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.

2018 Buick Regal's base price is almost $2,500 cheaper than last year's

Wed, Jul 19 2017

Along with the launch of the Buick Regal GS, Buick released official pricing for all three versions of the Regal, and they're very competitively priced, especially the Sportback. The part-sedan, part-hatch Regal Sportback starts at just $25,915. That's more than $2,000 cheaper than the previous generation 2017 Buick Regal sedan, which started at $28,385. Along with the savings in cost comes a standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque - 295 pound-feet with optional all-wheel drive. That's a significant step up from the standard naturally aspirated engine in the previous-generation Regal that makes just 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. The new Regal's hatch also provides more flexibility for loading cargo, and the cargo space expands from 14.2 cubic feet in the old model to 31.5. View 12 Photos The TourX wagon, or crossover depending on your opinion, comes with a $4,000 premium over the Sportback, with a base price of $29,995, matching what was revealed last month. It gains only about an extra cubic foot behind the rear seats, but with the seats folded, it has 73.5 cubic feet to play with. It also comes with standard all-wheel drive and the engine with 295 pound-feet of torque. Plus, it has the added ride height and plastic body cladding that gives it the same trendy look shared with the Subaru Outback, Volvo V60 Cross Country, and Audi A4 Allroad. It is a few thousand more than the Outback, but it undercuts the Volvo by roughly $10,000 and the Audi by almost $15,000. Then, for performance, there's the Regal GS. It starts at $39,990 and has a 310-horsepower V6 and standard all-wheel drive. It also features all of the versatility of the regular Regal Sportback. All-in-all, the Buick Regal line seems to pack a lot of value, at least on paper. Related Video:

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents."
