For sale is a MINT condition low mileage 1987 Grand National in stock form with GNX wheels. I bought this car as part of a local collection. It came with a 1957 Chevy, 1990 ZR1 and I just do not have the room keep all of them.
I would say this car is SHOW condition. It was repainted and done right. All windows taken out, all moldings replaced with OEM. all bumper inserts replaced, all paint work is high quality 2 stage and I think this is the best paint job I have ever seen on a black car. It is better than new as there is orange peel, ZERO rust or damage repair. I can not even find a paint chip, very well kept. The door weatherstrips, roof rails and trunk weather strips are new.
The engine is stock and kept well, no oil leaks, no smoke on start up. Starts everytime, shifts perfect in all gears and no noises or other issues. I have driven this car over 100 miles and would feel safe taking it anywhere. All electrical works as it should and has new brakes, rotors, shocks. The a/c works perfect and is now 134A.
The interior is near perfect, I added a factory CD player from a 1990 Iroc and sounds and looks great. (I have the original) The seats look new, headliner perfect, sill plates are polished. It has a boost gauge on the piller and oil pressure and water temp in center console. Nice touch adding needed gauges the factory forgot.
Trunk is as new with jack and spare still where they were installed. I don't think they were ever used. If you noticed in the pictures I took the trunk edging is very nice and very detailed, new weatherstrip.
In closing this is a low mileage, great driving, fun car that needs absolutley nothing and can be taken right to any local show and be proud or even keep as a collection that will go up in value. The buy it now is a steal and you find better for the money.
I ask for a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of auctions end and balnce due within 5 business days. Shipping is be paid by winning bidder. Thank you for looking and feel free to ask any questions. I will be happy to take any picture of the car you need. If in Houston I can show the car in person. It is tough to buy a car long distance but look at my rating, I will do whatever you need to feel good about this purchase.

GM expanding Lansing Lambda CUV plant
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Considering that crossovers are a rapidly growing portion of the US auto market, it's not surprising to hear that General Motors is preparing to build even more of them. The company is investing $63 million to expand its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant that builds Lambda platform CUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave.
According to GM, the expansion will add roughly 263,000 extra square feet of space to the plant. Of that, 181,000 square feet will be for an updated body shop with cutting-edge robots. There will also be 54,000 square feet of additional room in the paint shop and 28,000 square feet of more area for general assembly.
GM isn't saying as much, but there is the possibility that this extra space could allow for additional models produced at the factory. Cadillac reportedly dropped plans to build a three-row SUV on the Lambda platform earlier this year, however, dealers for the luxury brand were recently pitched the possibility of adding large and small CUVs, an ATS convertible or a sedan below the ATS.
Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
