This is a 1987 Buick Regal "Grand National" 3.8L Turbocharged Intercooled tribute/clone. The car started its life as a clean, rust free loaded 87 Regal and has since been cloned into a Grand National. The car is driven daily, runs and drives perfect with only 120k miles. The car has an older paint with chips and flaws but still looks pretty good as you can see in the pictures but not a show car by any means. A/C blows ice cold, Sony CD player with iPod jack and remote. This is as close to a GN that you will get minus the turbocharger. The naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 gets great gas mileage and the car gets a thumbs up gesture multiple time a day! You can not pull into a gas station without several people coming over to check her out. Really nice interior showing only minor wear (thumbnail size tears in drivers seat). This car needs nothing but a new home. Drive the car as it is, install a turbocharger, or maybe even do a V8 swap. No trades offers please. The car has OEM Grand National hood, GN spoiler, GN air dams, GN wheels, GN emblems, GN coil springs, GN front and rear sway bars, etc. New tint, new floor mats, four new fiberglass bumper fillers installed. I have more into the parts on the car than I'm selling the entire car for. Also, I will include with the sale a matching center console with floor shifter. The car starts right up, runs like a champ and all the lights, wipers, turn signals, hi/low beams, parking lights, etc. work as they should although horn is not. Drive her anywhere. I just did a 12 hour trip this past week (630 miles) in the car and she ran absolutely perfect! This is a great car for a fraction of the cost of a real Grand National. Nobody will ever know the difference unless you pop the hood. Please note, the GN is being sold "as is" and "where is" to the highest bidder so if you are not sure about something then please ask. It is the bidders responsibility to inspect the vehicle personally before the auction ends, just send me a message and we can set up a time for you to view the car in person. Also, I do have the car for sale locally so in the event it is sold, I will end the auction. Thanks for your interest. Bid to win, clean and clear title in hand.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
