1986 Buick Grand National GNX Clone.
Engine rebuilt about 4300 miles ago by BASKO Engines and Joe Martin Racing Engines of Arizona. Engine: Ported and Polished Heads. Limit Engineering GT70 turbo 224 Cam Forged Pistons Hooker Headers and Down Pipe with Single 3" Exhaust Ported and welded Intake Larger Throttle body and plenum with RJC Plate ATR Liquid to Air Intercooler Optima Red Top Battery Fuel: Upgraded Inline Pump 50 lb injectors ATR 7th Injector with 60 lb injector Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Transmission: 10" Non Lockup Convertor Valve Body Kit Billet Servo Rebuilt by Gary Rogers at AZ Precision Transmission Suspension: Lowered Higher Rate Springs KYB Shocks G-Tech Front Sway Bar....The biggest you can buy Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar Boxed Rear Control Arms Air Bags Paint and Body: Painted around 10 years ago with the GNX kit put on by Heath Elmer Restorations New Body Bushings Installed at that time I have owned this car for 26 years. I have the classic car insurance appraisal on 4/17/2010 for $23,000 with mileage of engine and transmission rebuild at 2,207 miles. Today there is 4,287 miles on the odometer which I zeroed out when the engine, transmission, and GNX VDO Gauge Panel was installed. I have only driven this car 2,080 miles since the appraisal in 2010. As you can see, I just don't drive this enough to keep it anymore and my interests are elsewhere now. This is not a perfect car, as it has a small passenger seat tear, the paint is around 10 years old but is 2 stage, 2 brand new tires and 2 really good tires, drives nice, A/C is cool but will probably need a recharge before it gets too hot, windows are slow and the locks don't always pop up. It stays cool in the AZ heat thanks to an Aluminum Radiator and 3 Fans. Has a B&M Huge Transmission Cooler, B&M Huge Oil Cooler. The car probably has around 200000 miles on the body but it doesn't look or drive like it. As far as the engine and transmission setup are concerned, the ATR Air to Water Intercooler works great in the AZ heat, always had a cooler core than front mounts, it has an external ice box to add ice to if you want to go to the track. The front mounts would always overheat the cars here in AZ, and with this set up it runs about 200F in traffic, with the A/C on, and it being 115F out. It is well sorted out for the heat. The non lockup convertor only revs about 200-300 rpm higher at cruise than my old lockup but it helps spool that turbo alot quicker. During cool weather, this car is powerful enough to lose traction at highway speeds when you floor it at over 20 lbs of boost, normally I keep it at 18 for pump gas and is monitored by an ATR air/fuel/knock meter and the Scanmaster. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is up for sale or trade locally. |

Buick working on Encore refresh
Tue, Jun 9 2015It'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.
Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.
