1987 Buick Grand National 3.8 Turbo 81,xxx Miles Original Paint Interior Built on 2040-cars
Alpine, California, United States
This is the Grand National to have. Plain and simple. Original California car. The car has 81,000 original miles on the chassis. Mileage matches with the title. The engine was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago with bigger pistons, roller rocker cam, new seals and gaskets, and everything else in a rebuild. The turbocharger is a larger TA-40 Garrett with a matching larger intercooler as well. The transmission was rebuilt less than 7,000 miles ago with upgraded components and a shift kit as well as a deep sump transmission oil pan. Rear end is posi-traction with deeper gear oil pan. Aftermarket sway bars are wider diameter than stock. Upgraded Vacuum brake booster system with larger diameter bore brake calipers for better braking. Aftermarket traction bars. Air ride suspension which can be adjusted with air valves installed in the rear bumper. Centerline racing wheels and good tires, wider in the back for more traction. Engine also has aftermarket MAF sensor, air intake tubes, Kenne Bell Ram air intake system and air filter, aftermarket fuel injector ecu, adjustable crank positioner, gutted catalytic converter, dual exhaust, Kenne Bell gauge panel, 140 mph speedometer, aftermarket chips, and computer terminal for engine tuning and dyno runs.
The interior and exterior are original. The mirrors and spoiler have been repainted but everything else in original paint. The clear coat has very small cracks in it but it looks fantastic. There is a dent on the passenger side door, couple dings on the hood, and a much fainter one on the driver side door but besides that there isn't much else. The car is beautiful. These are getting very hard to find and one in this shape with this few original miles is very limited. I absolutely love this car. It hauls ass. Will smoke any Honda or Mustang on the road but I'm on my out of the country for awhile and want someone who can keep it maintained and in its excellent condition. The car has been garaged its whole life and you can tell by looking at it. Also has an Eclipse Subwoofer, Kenwood amplifier, Kenwood stereo with auxillary port for your MP3. I have receipts for everything listed in this ad. Over $16,000 in parts alone have been spent on this car. That's not including labor. The title is clean and in my name. Registration is up to date. If you are in California I will need to smog it before you pick it up or ship it. I know I'm forgetting other things on this car. You wouldn't be able to build this car for less than $30,000. The buyer is responsible for shipping. Nonrefundable deposit of $500 within two days of winning the auction. ORIGINAL Wheels are included with the vehicle along with the Centerline wheels. |

Buick rolls out more potent Encore Sport Touring
Mon, Jul 20 2015Buick has announced a new Sport Touring version of the Encore. And more than a trim level or special edition, we're glad to report that the new model packs a more potent engine. Instead of the 1.4-liter turbo four that produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque in the standard Encore, the new Sport Touring model features a newer, more powerful engine that GM says shares little with the existing unit aside from its displacement. The new 1.4-liter turbocharged, direct-injection engine produces a more commanding 153 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, which is up a good 11 percent and 20 percent, respectively, over the existing engine. It's still mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and features a stop/start system to optimize fuel efficiency. Buick wasn't willing to estimate where the mile-per-gallon numbers might land, though that information will be available closer to sale. Along with the upgraded engine, Buick is also throwing in 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and the features from the Convenience package as well. The new Encore model follows just a couple of months after we first caught wind of a trademark filed for the Sport Touring name. At the time, it looked like it was set to be applied to the Regal and LaCrosse sedan, which could still follow as well.

It is distinguished by unique exterior cues and driven by an exclusive, all-new 1.4L turbocharged engine featuring direct injection and stop/start technology. The exterior features include a winged rear spoiler, 18-inch aluminum premium-finish wheels and body-color door handles, while the technologically advanced 1.4L turbo is part of a new, global family of small, power-dense engines developed to balance performance and efficiency with exceptional refinement. Direct injection helps it generate an estimated 153 hp (112 kW) and 177 lb-ft of torque (240 Nm), for about 11 percent more horsepower and nearly 20 percent more torque than the Encore's standard engine – and a greater feeling of power on demand, particularly at low- and mid-range engine speeds. It's matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stop/start technology contributes to reduced fuel consumption in stop-and-go driving.
Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats
Wed, 02 Apr 2014The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.
2022 Buick Envision Plus three-row crossover is like an Envision, plus
Wed, Apr 7 2021Buick exited the sedan segment when it axed the Regal, but it's going all-in on crossovers and SUVs. It released a dark preview image that gives us an early look at a three-row family-hauler named Envision Plus. Announced only for the Chinese market as of writing, the Envision Plus is — as its name implies — positioned above the Envision in the company's range, though it's smaller than the Enclave. It's mechanically related to the crossover it shares its nameplate with, but it appears to receive a specific design with a new-look front bumper and a more upright grille. It also wears a boxier silhouette that allowed Buick to add a third row of seats. Extra seating aside, we expect the Plus will offer an interior close to the standard Envision's, which we described as "a scaled-down take on the Enclave's interior" in February 2021. Similarly, Buick will likely offer the Envision Plus with the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the smaller model. It produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the front or the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Buick will release more details about the 2022 Envision Plus in the coming weeks, and it will unveil the model at the 2021 edition of the Shanghai auto show opening its doors on April 21. While the company hasn't confirmed plans to sell its latest crossover in its home market, we wouldn't be surprised if it arrives here before the end of 2021. Auto shows were put on hiatus in 2020, at the height of the on-going coronavirus pandemic, and the upcoming Shanghai show is the first major industry event in over a year. In addition to the Buick people-mover, we'll discover Toyota's first global electric car. It will arrive as a near-production concept close in size to the hot-selling RAV4.
