Up for sale is a very well restored 1986 Buick Grand National. I am the documented 2nd owner of this car and purchased from the original owner in 2010 out of Atlanta. Car was a very nice car and was kept very well. Car had 121k miles when purchased and well maintained and never modified or raced. The paint was standard for that era (crows feet and cracking everywhere), so that is where we started. Car was taken down to metal and repainted and it is a VERY nice, deep paint job. Very straight, no waves and panels align nicely. Car has less than 250 miles since restoration. PLEASE READ...Here we go:
Paint and Body - Taken down to metal and repainted base/clear. New body bushing installed at the same time and all the plastic was replaced with NOS parts (front air dams, 87 blacked out grill, headlight bezels, bumper strips, wheel housing trim, etc). All emblems were left off except for BUICK in front grill - I like the blacked out look on these cars. I do have emblems, so those go with the car. All new weatherstripping all the way around. I also have new 3.8 SFI Turbo emblems that go on the hood...again, I prefer the blacked out look. New hood pad with the GN Logo. New rubber bumpers on hood, fenders, and trunk deck as well as doors. New black lock cylinders on doors as well. On a scale of 1-10, the exterior of this car gets a 10 with ease! Interior - Dash is completely original and looks great! No tears, rips, or cracks. Kind of amazing. Headliner, door panels, door handles (pulls), carpet, floor mats, shifter handle, and seat covers all replaced with NOS parts! Interior looks and smells like new. Dynomat was used inside doors and under carpet as well as along sail panels and roof area. New door hinges, striker bolts and doors shut nice and solid - do not sag. All new door and window switches, dome light trim and bezel, etc and everything is functional. Stereo was replaced with a new Alpine with Bluetooth technology, satellite radio (HD) and electric antenna mounted to windshield. Speakers were replaced with high dollar Infinity all the way around (6x9s in rear) and it sounds nice. I do have the factory stereo and speakers as well. AC blows Cold and heat blows hot. All gauges work. I rate the interior a solid 9.5 out of 10. Wheels, Tires, Suspension, Steering, Brakes - Brake components (rotors, calipers, etc) are factory and work fine. I did convert the car to hydro boost to get rid of that horrible power master design. I still have the power master set up, just this one works better. Wheels are OER GNX wheels bought brand new ($1200 for set) and tires are Kumho - all new. Alignment is also fresh. Suspension and Steering is all factory stuff and work great. Factory wheels are here and come with the car as well. I rate this area a solid 9. Exhaust - 3" ceramic and heat barrier coated down pipe through 3" Full Throttle exhaust all the way out of the back. Exhaust manifolds are factory, but also ceramic coated with heat barrier. Sounds great and runs even better. I rate the exhaust a solid 10. Drive train - Car was fully optioned, so it has 342 ratio rear end and it is stock posi. Engine was built by professional builder for these cars, balanced, forged internals, roller billet cam and lifter set with matching timing chain and valve springs, roller rockers, port matched heads and intake, upper intake ceramic coated with heat barrier and upper powder coated black, all powder coated brackets, HUGE front mount inter cooler (I have stock one), slightly larger turbo (have stock one), matched injectors, turbo intake pipes are all ceramic coated with heat barrier, all new sensors, relays, switches, ignition module, coil, radiator is a 4 row aluminum design with huge dual fans ($1200 set up), valve covers were a very nice choice with baffled breathers that work well. Transmission was built nicely by professional that specializes in 200R4 designs for these cars. Shifts nice and shift. A lock up style converter was used matched to the turbo. I rate this a solid 9.5. Overall, car is super clean and fun to drive. I built to be a daily driver if needed, but lately it has been a car show cruiser. All modifications were slight and all original parts are here as well and come with the car. Will consider trades of equal value, specifically 1970-72 Chevelle/Malibu, 65-70 Mustang, 68-72 Camaro. |

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
