Hello, up for bid is a very nice tribute Grand National / T-Type . It was originally a 3.8 v6 car with 200metric trans and a 241 rear differential.
This car has been extensively redone in the GN/T-Type style. Just some Items that I have installed on vehicle.
- vortec 350 engine with fuel injection
- 283 roller comp camshaft specs are, int.283, exh. 303 part # is 08-600-8 comp cams
- duel exhaust w/ flowmaster mufflers
- 200r4 transmission
- 8.5 rear end with 342 gears out of a real GN
- duel cooling fans
- new radiator
- new water pump
- floor shifter
- bucket seats
- new carpet
- steel GN/T-Type turbo hood
- 3.8 turbo header panel ornament
- paint job done over 4 years ago
- hurricane alloy wheels
- and many many more items. you will have to see pics
- The engine , transmission, rear end are all in good shape. the interior is in above condition I have installed bucket seats but I do have seat covers over them they are not ripped just not a match to the rest of the interior.
- I replace the factory cam in this engine with the 283 comp cam and upgraded the valve springs to match this cam, but I haven't driven the car many miles since then.
- This was a bench seat car with column shifter, and I have converted it to a floor shifter.
- Now for the bad:
- The paint has a few places it has chipped off.. on front fender and hood, also has chip around rear glass. this paint is over 4 years old
- I haven't been able to hook up shifter , the cable is there as well as the brackets needed on the transmission but I may have purchased a Camaro shifter cable and its about 2 inches to short .
- The duel exhaust is home made and it is functional, how ever its not pretty , since the car looks so good would recommend a exhaust shop do it better
- I lost my job and I have to sell my friend that I love dearly. The bills are piling up and I have to sell her . If you by her please give her a good home. She's a survivor.
- Don't forget she's a older car, so she's not perfect, but she has a whole lot of life left in her.

Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
