Overview

This is a true Grand National made to look like a GNX. Badging is only on the front grill and rear bumper as the GNXs were done, has wheel flares, side heat extractors, GNX turbo cover, 16 inch GNX style wheels and center caps. Also has the GNX gauge cluster in dash in lieu of the original analog 0 to 85 speedometer. This car is beautiful, almost flawless, has tons of power. Very quick. I am the fourth owner and have the previous titles.

Paint/Body

The paint is 6 years old and I would rate it a 9.5. Near perfect! Original metal all around, very sound body. It has both the upper and lower front fender bracing, and the bracing behind the rear seat. Stock Grand Nationals did not come with this, and the bracing certainly helps the rigidity for the torque this car has. New GNX door sill plates.

Interior

Impeccable with the exception of a wear or thin spot on the driver's seat right where your left knee would be. Not a burn mark or stain, just thin. Can't see it in the pictures as the color still matches the rest of the gray portion of the seat. Power antenna, power windows, locks, etc., all mechanicals work as they should. T-Top bags included, regular floor mats and GNX floor mats, and original owners manual. Again, GNX style gauges with 39,500 original miles. (original gauge set up included with car) Car Fax will verify, Auto Check will add 100,000 miles to it. A New York inspection in 2004 added 100,000 miles of driving since the previous inspection in 2002. Car Fax researched it and corrected it, Auto Check would not respond.

Suspension/Exhaust

New springs and Bilstein shocks added in 2009. Hooker high flow aluminum exhaust and mufflers, cat delete. GNX 16 inch wheels with BF Goodrich g-force tires, P245/50zr front and 255/50zr back with less than 4000 miles on them. Note the GNX differential cover, but car does not have the unique GNX ladder bar suspension.

Engine/Transmission

Now for the fun stuff. Engine and transmission are original and have not been apart. In lieu of the stock 28 pound injectors are 36 pound injectors. Car also has big mouth K&N air filter, polished air plenum, larger stage III turbo bell, billet fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge on fuel rail, hot wire set up for fuel pump, 93 octane chip, new alternator and battery. Air conditioner has been converted in 2008.

Summary

You'll notice my description is very factual and to the point, so you know exactly what you are getting. In my view, this is one of the most stunning beauties you'll find. It is an extremely quick and fast car that is a blast to drive, yet has all the comfort of a Buick. The Grand Nationals came loaded with options from concert sound AM/FM/Cassette, cruise, tilt, etc. You name it. You will not be disappointed. Feel free to ask questions via eBay.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
