1985 Buick Grand National, I made a 87 clone out of it. It does have the 87 drive train. It is a real Grand National. The G in the vin proves that its a Grand National. It is an Arizona car with ZERO RUST! The car has new paint, windows, glass bumpers front and rear, grille with emblem, new badges (both fenders, trunk lid and hood.) I do have new carpet but its still in the box. I do have new head rests in the box as well. The engine is a 3.8L V6 with a T61 precision turbo. 45.5# injectors with Alkycontrol alcohol injection. It has a translator Pro with extender chip. Mild Ported iron heads, and ported stock throttle body with RJC Power Plate. Has billet adjustable fuel pressure regulator with gauge. I just bought and installed a PTC 3400 Stall converter that has 200 miles on it. The rear end has new fluid and cover gasket. The tires are three years old with maybe 100 miles on them. I was in the Army and didnt drive the car much; only when I came home on leave. The car does have AC but the lines are cracked and needs the line that runs on top of the radiator. When you work on the car you lean on the lines and they crack. The interior is in decent shape but need to have the uppers redone to be perfect. The driver side seat has a new seat cover on it but the passenger side does not. The car has ATR pitbull stainless exhaust with stainless headers and a Bowling Green Custom 3" downpipe. The intercooler is from a F350. I had the front bushings replaced 5 years ago. I bought all new weather stripping when I painted the car. I had the car painted in 2012. I always run synthetic oil in the engine. I have an AEM wideband with scanmaster and boost gauge. I replaced the Universal joints in 2013. The trans (TH200R4) has been rebuilt in May when the converter was installed. The car ran back to back 12.4@110 and 12.4@ 109 with both 60ft being 1.88 on P275 MT drag radials. There is a lot more left in the car. It does have the G80 rearend code for posi rear. This car would have no problem driving to Phoenix or California. I am sure I missed out some things. If interested, text or call. I work 2pm-11pm, but shoot a text or call anyway if its in the morning. If I do not answer leave a message and I will call back. I'm not interested in straight trades. Maybe trade plus cash for Pontiac Trans Ams/Muscle cars/Drag cars/ Fox Mustangs or parts/AR15. I do not need help selling the car. Odometer says 20,XXX could be 120,XXX. The engine is not original.
Some issues: The powermaster brakes is going out, I did a self diagnostic and I believe its the actuator ball going out. The brake gets a hard pedal sometimes. The driver power seat works other than going back and forth. The plastic axle that connects both sides broke. The dash is cracked and I didnt want to pay 200 for a new one. AC doesn't work from statement above. The car randomly shuts off sometimes, but I turn it off and it starts up again. Fuel pressure is fine and its not a fuel issue. Could be ignition module. Give me a call or text if interested at 520-248-6699. My name is Junior. |

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.
