(GARAGED CAR: SOME PICTURES WERE TAKEN AFTER THE CAR WAS PULLED OUT OF A HEATED GARAGE FOR BETTER LIGHTING)
1986 Buick Grand National Just under 55,000 original miles Documented history: Owned from 89-2009 by a Maine police officer, sold to a collector in 2009 in the same Maine town, sold to me in 2013 (NH) This is a garaged car, that has not been exposed to the elements. Not molested and mostly original with the exception of the radio, and power antenna, and brakes were recently done, from what I can see. I do not see evidence of repaint and the car was sold me as having 'original paint' and familiarity back to 1989 with the local ownership history. As you can see by the pictures the car is very straight and beautiful. If you look at the roof line at the right angle you will see a few dings (I believe a dent doctor can remove this and the former owner said something fell from garage racks some year back). There are a few paint chips and several minor blemishes around the car that I would characterize as normal wear for a 55k mile car that is 28 years old. There is one 'nickel sized' chip that has moisturized into the beginning of surface rust that I am monitoring (see picture) in rear quarter panel. I've debated having this fixed. Headliner is excellent but is starting to sag in some places. Interior is exceptional: Very clean, no stains, wear, or evidence of smoking/food. Dash is near perfect. The car runs and drives as it should. 1986 is my personal favorite of the Grand Nationals due to the rarity and equal performance to the fastest of the cars. There is file of receipts, magazine with a road test from the 80's, and a car cover that comes with car. CARS IN THE STATE OF NH ARE NOT TITLED OVER 15 YEARS OF AGE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A BILL OF SALE + REGISTRATION (YOUR STATE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND PROVIDE YOU WITH A TITLE IF YOU TITLE CARS IN YOUR STATE) SOLD 'AS-IS' If you have any questions: 603-715-7519 I PRODUCE THOSE MATS THAT THE CAR SITS ON IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PERSONALIZING A BLUEPRINTED MAT FOR YOUR COLLECTIBLE! |

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.
Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.
