Historic Rare & Extremely Low Miles Original Paint Interior Drivetrain 11sec Car on 2040-cars
Moorestown, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1986 Buick Grand
National with 8,361 miles and the original paint, interior, engine, trans and
front tires. This is one of the lowest mileage Grand Nationals
you will ever find. I am the second owner. I bought it MAR 2006 when
it had 6,492 miles on it. I put 1,100 miles on it the first two years and
added the remaining 750 miles over the past six years. I change the oil
& lube the chassis every fall with Castrol GTX and a Delco filter. I drive it during the spring through fall in the
morning or at dusk. After she cools down I dust her off and spray polish
the exterior then cover her back up with a dust cover in the garage.
Before getting parked for the winter she gets a top off with 93 octane and fuel
stabilizer. In the spring she gets a can of octane booster. The car
sits on a trickle charger when not in use. Battery was replaced ~ NOV 2013 due
to a bad cell. Car runs strong, doors have that new car closing sound and
the A/C is cold. Freon was switched to R-134 when I bought it in 2006.
1986 had a production run of ~ 5,000 units vs the ~ 20,000 units in 1987. The original owner of the car is a friend of my father's from high school. He worked for GM and bought the GN from Dearden Buick in Langhorne, PA. He had a car collection of ~ 12 cars in a 100' long pole barn. In 2006 he was selling his house and cars to move to another state and sold her to me.
What was done...that I know of. The original owner did not do any internal engine mods. Everything was bolt-on. The original inter cooler and emissions gear are in a box and come with the car. I have to look to see if the original turbo is in the box.
Original Window Sticker, owner’s manual, warranty book included Copy of
original title included
Total base 1986 was: $14,153 Codes on Window Sticker:
After adding the mods and tuning, the original owner trailered the car to Atco Raceway (Southern
NJ) for a private rental and on the 1st or 2nd pass it hit the expected
ETA. Total passes on the car are no more than six to dial-in the tune with the fastest being 11.962 @ 113.02 mph with 1.701 60 ft on drag radials. I am including the time slip. The car was tuned to run 11.6's with slicks. She wears street radials
now and never had slicks on due to the fact slicks will destroy a rear. No roll bar is in the car or has ever been installed. Assuming a 200 lb driver and 3500 lb vehicle, to hit a 11.6-11.9 sec time @ 113-119 mph requires 425 - 470 HP at the rear wheels. There is minor etching in the door paint under the side moldings and along the trunk edge (1980’s GM products had horrible original paint). I have taken photos to document this. Car has been in a garage for 28 years so it could be a lot worse. It is only original once. When I was swapping garages last fall, I noticed around the driver’s coat hook in the back the headliner has started to sag. There are a few small sags on the left rear side along with the sun visors showing signs of the headliner glue failing. It decided to leave it alone to further keep it original. Pictures document these. No matter how many times I buff the plastic bumper to body inserts the fade always comes back. This is just a product of 28 year old plastic. It is not cracked…just keeps fading. Pictures document it. I will be available to show the car locally within a reasonable distance and time. Car is located near Moorestown, NJ 08057 zip code (across from Philadelphia, PA). Buyer is responsible to ship the car from my place to their destination. I will work with the buyers transportation company to move the car to a nearby location (an open parking lot) for them to load. Car has a clean title. By bidding, the buyer understands and agrees the car is sold as-is…where-is…no warranties are expressed or implied. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also for sale locally. Send me a message via ebay with any questions. Send me your phone number or personal email if you want to discuss the car or need more photos taken. |

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.
2014 Buick LaCrosse updated with new styling, tech
Mon, 25 Mar 2013Buick might have one of the smallest lineups among major automakers, but by the time the 2014 model rolls around, it will definitely have one of the freshest. Debuting at the New York Auto Show this week, the 2014 Buick LaCrosse receives numerous styling changes inside and out, and it benefits from many of the same new features found on closely related models like the Cadillac XTS and the 2014 Chevrolet Impala.
Exterior changes are relatively minor, but they still help give the car a fresh, new look. The new face of the 2014 LaCrosse fits in with recently new or redesigned Buick models with its oversized waterfall grille, LED-trimmed headlights and the signature hood vents being moved to the side of the hood rather than the top. Similar changes have been made to the rear, like the reshaped LED taillights, the full-width chrome trim and a new fascia design; LaCrosse models equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 will still get the integrated exhaust finishers but they're executed in a more stylish manner than the current model. Finishing off the exterior, new wheel designs are also being introduced, which will include bringing 20-inch wheels to the sedan's option list.
Inside, Buick redesigned almost the entire cabin to create a more luxurious and upscale appearance. The instrument panel is essentially carried over, but pretty much everything else has been redesigned and updated with the biggest change being to the driver's area. Dual eight-inch configurable displays make up the center stack and gauge cluster, while the overall number of buttons have been reduced from 17 down to just seven. The 2014 LaCrosse will also be offered with the next-generation IntelliLink, which receives many of the same enhancements as Chevy's latest version of MyLink adding better customization, improved voice commands and more features including Pandora. Additionally, new door panels, seat and center console complete the LaCrosse's interior redesign.
Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.
