1982 Buick Grand National on 2040-cars
Alburtis, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for sale is a non-running 1982 Buick Grand National. I am
selling this car for my best friend. He passed away a few months ago and his
wife has asked me to sell his cars to help her financially. He was a Buick enthusiast
and I am selling 2 other cars and will be listing parts and other Buick related
items. The car is located in the 18011 zip code. I would prefer local
pick up since I do not live close to the location of the car. Here is the
summary of the car when he bought it on e-bay in August of 08 with a few edits.
If you have questions I will try to answer them the best I can but I do not
profess to know anything about Buicks or the condition of this car. This is a 1982 Buick Regal Grand National, equipped with a
non-turbo 4.1 v6. The car has a clean Pennsylvania title and is registered on
the Before Black website. The car is not running. Even though the engine and drivetrain
look to be complete I would expect the car would need a complete rebuild to see
it run and drive again. The car’s interior is in need of total restoration and
is dissembled and may not be complete. The body of the car is enacted but has
rust with some holes through the bottom of the doors, rear quarters and floors.
The frame is in good shape with no rot in the rear rails at all. The glass is
in good shape, it has its original spoiler, T-tops, GN badging, and Lear Siegler
seats. The radio and special dash applique are missing. This car is one of 216 Grand Nationals built in 1982 and can
make a great restoration. This vehicle is to be picked up only, either by the
purchaser or the shipping company you hire. The car is to be paid in full
within 7 days of auction end unless prior arrangements have been made. Since I
am not a professional seller or dealer I will not accept pay-pal only money
order or cash upon pick up. There is no warranty on this non-running car in need of
total restoration and I strongly encourage a physical inspection of the car to validate
and verify the accuracy of the description above. Thank You. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
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.
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
