Overview

This is a true Grand National made to look like a GNX. Badging is only on the front grill and rear bumper as the GNXs were done, has wheel flares, side heat extractors, GNX turbo cover, 16 inch GNX style wheels and center caps. Also has the GNX gauge cluster in dash in lieu of the original analog 0 to 85 speedometer. This car is beautiful, almost flawless, has tons of power. Very quick. I am the fourth owner and have the previous titles.

Paint/Body

The paint is 6 years old and I would rate it a 9.5. Near perfect! Original metal all around, very sound body. It has both the upper and lower front fender bracing, and the bracing behind the rear seat. Stock Grand Nationals did not come with this, and the bracing certainly helps the rigidity for the torque this car has. New GNX door sill plates.

Interior

Impeccable with the exception of a wear or thin spot on the driver's seat right where your left knee would be. Not a burn mark or stain, just thin. Can't see it in the pictures as the color still matches the rest of the gray portion of the seat. Power antenna, power windows, locks, etc., all mechanicals work as they should. T-Top bags included, regular floor mats and GNX floor mats, and original owners manual. Again, GNX style gauges with 39,500 original miles. (original gauge set up included with car) Car Fax will verify, Auto Check will add 100,000 miles to it. A New York inspection in 2004 added 100,000 miles of driving since the previous inspection in 2002. Car Fax researched it and corrected it, Auto Check would not respond.

Suspension/Exhaust

New springs and Bilstein shocks added in 2009. Hooker high flow aluminum exhaust and mufflers, cat delete. GNX 16 inch wheels with BF Goodrich g-force tires, P245/50zr front and 255/50zr back with less than 4000 miles on them. Note the GNX differential cover, but car does not have the unique GNX ladder bar suspension.

Engine/Transmission

Now for the fun stuff. Engine and transmission are original and have not been apart. In lieu of the stock 28 pound injectors are 36 pound injectors. Car also has big mouth K&N air filter, polished air plenum, larger stage III turbo bell, billet fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge on fuel rail, hot wire set up for fuel pump, 93 octane chip, new alternator and battery. Air conditioner has been converted in 2008.

Summary

You'll notice my description is very factual and to the point, so you know exactly what you are getting. In my view, this is one of the most stunning beauties you'll find. It is an extremely quick and fast car that is a blast to drive, yet has all the comfort of a Buick. The Grand Nationals came loaded with options from concert sound AM/FM/Cassette, cruise, tilt, etc. You name it. You will not be disappointed. Feel free to ask questions via eBay.

Buick working on Encore refresh

Tue, Jun 9 2015

It's been three years now since the model we know as the Buick Encore (sold overseas as the Vauxhall/Opel Mokka) first hit the scene. That makes it about due for a bit of a facelift, and judging from these latest spy shots, that's precisely what General Motors seems to be up to. The nose of this prototype (intriguingly wearing Buick badges but German plates) is all covered up, so it's hard to tell what Buick and its European counterparts have in store for the front-end restyling, but the fact that they've covered it so extensively tells us that somethings afoot. The tail should also get new lights and bumper as well. You can fully expect GM to take the opportunity to refresh the cabin while it's at it with tweaked ergonomics and new equipment. Meanwhile our sources tell us the 1.0-liter inline-three from the new Corsa could find its way under the Opel/Vauxhall's hood to join the current lineup of four-pots, but it's too early to say whether that engine might find its way across the pond to the Buick version as well.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

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.
