Miami, Florida, United States

VIDEO** http://youtu.be/YmfPPuynpII 1987 Grand National T-tops W/ Digital Dash Mechanical: This car has a rebuilt motor .30 over block new pistons new timing set, all new gaskets new water pump new front cover and HV oil pump. I have receipts for everything. Heads were re-done with minor port / bowl work, new valve springs new cam/lifter kit from comp. Fuel: 37# injectors and Billet adjustable Accufab fuel pressure regulator to support the new motor i bought a new hotwire kit and Walbro pump and ac filter were installed. I also decided on a Casper's volt booster. Intake: Touched up the intake and dog house / ported TB - RJC powerplate with a 3 inch cold air kit. K&N filter. LT1 MAF & Translator. Exhaust: Header's were welded so no crack on the headeers. We added a THDP 3 inch downpipe with a 21/2 dual exhaust to the back. JET turbine whistle is ridiculous with the ta49 !! Cooling : The cooling in Miami's heat is extremely important! The sun wreaks havoc on bad cooling setups. So to tackle it i installed a 160 degree thermostat. New fbody Radiator with dual electric fans and thermoswitch. Currently running purified water. AC is absolutely new bought the lines on here, had to buy a new Ac compressor, new drier, new expansion valve. To complete the job properly we cleaned, flushed and vacuumed the complete Ac system. Transmission: Stock rebuild has firm and positive shifts. Converter is a red stripe, stall speed seems to be right around 2600. TA49 spools instantly. Stock 8.5 Rear with new fluid looks great. Brakes/Suspension, 8.5 Rear stock with 3.42 gears new fluid installed. Posi ! New Disc up front with new bearings new bushings nice and tight. Body: Paint is nice and straight i would easily rate it 7 out of 10 small scratches very small door ding barely noticeable. Doors look good underneath and per pics you can see no holes on the floor! This combo is a quick-spooling, put you in your seat combo. My goals for the car with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 500 mile road trip with no worries!! The drive train is in great condition with under 1,500 miles on engine. She runs, shifts and drives great! Interior: Clean no rips, Scanmaster, boost and water temp console gauges, the interior is as it left GM in 1987. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet is clean. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 8/9 out of 10. Wheels/Tires/Suspension: Grand National Rims with Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, Summary/Price: Overall, this is a very, very nice car I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal since I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am NOT faced with a "must sell" situation. General inquiries may text or call - 786-487-9775 The bad: Rebuilt title , History shows it was branded in 1994 no type of case information available. Honestly i have exhausted my search on any info on why it was branded. I checked chassis everything is straight. From what i have researched these car's were easily branded at that time. In 94 these car's had a very low book value. This car has been taken care of this isn't a POS by far! |

Buick GN and GNX will return
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
