I spared no expense in restoring this 74k mile 1987 Grand National. WARNING: IMMEDIATE DEPOSIT OF $1,000 required at auction end. If you bid, be prepared to close immediately. I will pursue a non paying bidder with all available options. It's unfair to myself and real buyers when faux bidders run up prices with no intention to close.

If you have questions please call JT 561-702-6478. The Story Behind this 1987 Grand National. My father repaired and sold these, and similar, cars in NYC in the 80s. I graduated HS in 1987 and this was the car (Along with the Monte Carlo SS) that I dreamed of owning. My Dad passed away of cancer, and left me his tools (and many rare small parts). A year later I was stricken with cancer. I took 3 years off of work for the battle. Soon after my first operation I purchased this car, and began to restore her. Rebuilding the car was therapy to me, and gave me the chance to use my Dad's tools. It was a great distraction. As a result, I spent hundreds of hours sourcing, and installing parts, very likely more so than any reasonable person would normally put into a vehicle. However, in my circumstance it wasn't about the cost, it was about keeping busy. As a result, this car is over built. There are so many brand new parts you'll save yourself years of headaches. I even went so far as to change things just because they "Might" go soon, such as the new power antenna, new door lock actuators, and new power window motors. Meticulous? While restoring and upgrading the original Delco Bose Concert Sound Radio with EQ, I noticed that the radio was "hard wired" (the harness was missing). I went and got the harness, wired it, and plugged in the radio properly. If I noticed it, I made it like it was new or better. There is more done to this car than I would be able to describe in an Ebay Auction. List of Work, (Copies included with purchase) New Exact Match Show Quality Front Seats. New Exact Match Show Quality Back Seat New Shifter handle. Four new tires, less than 50 miles on tires! New Interior Carpet W/ rubber backing 2nd Battery Relocation Kit (second battery added in trunk) New Front Bumper inserts New Rear bumper inserts New Fuel Sending Unit New Seat Belt Plastic New Dash Speaker bezels (the entire length of windshield - always broken on these cars) New Front Power Seat Plastic Set New Manual Seat Plastic Set Transmission fluid Change New Transmission Gasket and Filter New Power Seat Switch NEW one piece speedo cable New Hoses New Seatbelt Guides T-Top Shades in Grand National Grey (Removable) New Buick Door Escutcheon ( pull straps ) & covers New Show Quality upper door panels New Lower Door Weather stripping seal Both left and right New Battery New Sound Deadening / Moisture Seal Material under seat New Delco Bose Concert Sound Radio w/ built in EQ and custom pre-amp outs and ipod jack (Radio looks like it's 1987 and plays like 2014 - amazing) New Mylar Water Shield for Sound Deadening / Moisture Seal Installed Anti Rattle Kit Both D/S and P/S Door latch mechanism replaced (with used) New Tach boost gauge New hot wire kit New door handle springs New sending unit, fuel pump, installed hot wire kit New cruise control and wiper arm New sound deadening moisture barrier New Steering wheel and center hub New Replaced rear shocks New Rear Springs New mass air pipe New vac block New & Installed trunk release (Was not an option on this car.

Car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Car will be sold.

Buick Envision arrives in US next year
Fri, Jul 24 2015In a detailed piece on what General Motors has planned for the Buick brand stateside, Automotive News reports that the Envision will finally come to the US a little more than a year from now, in the latter half of 2016. The size gap between the small Encore and the large Enclave is a perfect fit for the Chevrolet Equinox-sized Envision. Assuming this actually happens, it should excite both customers and Buick dealers. In China, the Envision uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed transmission. Before then, dealers sales forces will be preparing for the Cascada convertible, expected in Q1 next year. Later in 2016, around the same time as the Envision gets here, we can expect a redesigned Verano sedan. AN says it "should grow in length and interior roominess, similar to the Chevy Cruze," but the Verano already roughly matches or exceeds many Cruze dimensions. The Chinese-market Verano that premiered at the Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year probably holds some clues to what we'll see, but our version might not be an exact copy. A redesigned, lighter, and slightly larger LaCrosse will be right there with it. In 2017 the redesigned Regal appears. Following the trend, it also gets larger, but that's required because it needs to be more distinct from that larger Verano. AN suggests a new base engine will go in the Regal, perhaps something as small as the 1.5-liter turbo being lined up for the 2016 Chevy Malibu. At the other end, executives are said to be considering importing the diesel Opel Insignia wagon for the Regal lineup. If they bring the manual over, auto scribes will probably take the day off when the first one arrives, and make it an industry holiday.
GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
