1986 Buick Grand National/t-type on 2040-cars
Joliet, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is my Buick Grand national of about 7 years. I was told it is a Grand National from the previous owner. I have found no reason to believe different. The Vin shows it to be a T-type which is correct for a GN in 1986. The vehicle history shows it as a GN. I did not see this vehicle roll off the assembly line. I purchased this car from the second owners as a roller. Vehicle check says four owners. I believe the guy I bought it from had to change the title to his name after his dad gave it to him. Second owner had car repainted by a local body shop in early 2000's. I finished the rest of the car. I had the engine professionally built with many aftermarket parts. Only things stock under the hood is the crank, block and fuel injector rail that I can think right now. Car runs good and strong. Does not burn oil or drink coolant. I have never had it at the track so I can't tell you what it runs. It's set around 18 psi now. Had it up to 23 psi and it's incredbily fast! It was a cruise night car for me then I bought a Cobra. This car went to the backburner. I have had the car out three times in the last two years. I may have put 300-400 miles tops on it since it's been running. So I'm looking to make room for a new project. This car is not a museum piece. It shows well and is a great show and cruise night car. But if your looking for a 10 out of 10 mint car this is not for you. The bad. Digital dash doesn't work all the time. Fuel pressure gauge mounted on hood isn't showing accurate readings. No a/c or heat. Manual brakes. It had a powermaster but I prefer the piece of mind that the brakes won't fail me. I built a custom exhaust and it may be to loud for some. Hood insulator is gone. It was dirty and I didn't like the way it looked. Some seepage from oil pan gasket. Very little. The paint looks good. People always commented on how good the car looked. There is some (very little) surface rust on the bottoms of doors. No rot or holes. You can see in pics the bottom inside lips of doors were repaired. I do not know where else there may be bondo. I am very particular on vehicles. Pictures do not show imperfections well. There are some here and there. Serious buyers should see car in person. Note that in some pictures leaves on the ground are reflecting off of paint. It's not rust. The paint shines and reflects well. Car hasn't seen rain since I have owned it. Interior is in good shape. Seats look very good. Some wear shows on dash and doors. Headliner is good. Steering wheel leather is very good. Stock radio works. Sometime it takes a few seconds to come on. Power antenna works. Power windows work but are slow. Common with these cars. Glass is all good. Pro comp boost/vac, water temp, oil pressure mounted above glove box. Pro comp tach middle of dash. Scan master. Coolmist controller. The engine consist of. $1950 spent at machine shop. Large K&N, Ls1 air meter, MAF translator, Precisions intercooler, Coolmist progressive alky, GN 1 polished large throttle body and dog house, GN1 ported and polished intake, RJC power plate, JE forged pistons, H rods, Comp 212 roller cam kit, roller rockers, RJC head gaskets and aluminum head clamps, ARP studs and bolts, GN 1 aluminum heads and valve covers, poston headers, Precisions turbo, pre turbo oil filter, stainless down pipe, new front cover with high volume oil pump, new water pump, new oil pan, RJC biggie oil filter adaptor, aluminum underdrive pullies, voltage booster, A/C delete accessory bracket, aluminum radiator, low profile electric fan, Mini starter, complete new wiring harness, 50 lbs injectors, holley fuel pressure regulator, RJC RM plug wires, turbo tweak alky chip, PCV air/oil separator, brand new battery, brand new GM ignition box, RJC rear motor brace. Pats torque converter, new transmission, old one had a crack in the housing. Aluminum driveshaft, Aftermarket rear end upper and lower control arms. Stock rear end in great shape. Gas tank is in good shape with walbro pump that is hot wired. Weld wheels with brand new tires. Nitto drags on the back. I have a aftermarket big front sway bar that isn't on the car but will come with it. There are many extras I will include if buy it now is reached. Front drag skinnies I bought but never put on car. They are used but nice, spare fuel pump, car cover, another turbo and lots of other stuff I have lying around. Anyone who knows these cars and how much their parts cost will know how much money is into this car. Over 10k in drivetrain. Any questions please ask. I'm sure I have missed some things. Money scammers can move on to your next victim. If you do not have the funds please don't bid. I am a honest seller. Check my feedback. Looking for a F250, F350 in good shape no rust with low miles. Diesel 2wd. + or - cash. Thanks! |

Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share
Fri, Jan 17 2014Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

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.
GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan
Wed, Mar 15 2017GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
