Rust Free Southern Car, T-tops, Power Locks, Windows And Driver's Seat on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
Up for sale is a 1987 Buick Grand National. It has 141k miles but is in very good condition given the mileage. It has factory T-Tops and power locks and windows. It is in good, rust free condition but has small scratches and paint chips. The car spent most of its life in Florida, then North Carolina, which is where I bought it from. It looks good, but I would consider it to be a 5-10 footer. I planned on getting it painted to bring it to "show quality" condition but given my current priorities, I won't be able to do that for a long time, which is why I'm selling it. I will miss it dearly. It is in good mechanical condition and has been well maintained. It runs perfectly, is a comfortable cruiser and is fast too! I had the air conditioning serviced/charged last year and it worked great, but after sitting, it's not cooling again, so it must have a slow leak. There are a host of new or newer performance upgrades (listed below) that were chosen to improve the performance without affecting normal drivability in any way. I've included some photos, I can take more if you'd like. I will include everything below plus a big box of stock parts. -----I will be adding more photos in the next day or two----- Body / Exterior Stock exterior with T-Tops Rear X braces Tinted windows Engine / Transmission Stock 3.8 liter V6 engine 60 lb/hr fuel injectors TurboTweak chip Comp Cams 980 valve springs RJC Power Plate H&R PartsNstuff motor mounts Precision Stock Location Intercooler Walbro high pressure in-tank fuel pump with rewire kit Accufab rising rate fuel pressure regulator Hallman ES manual boost controller AlkyControl progressive alcohol injection system using a Coolingmist VC-II Controller LS1 Mass Airflow Sensor & MAF Translator K&N air filter with 3" intake pipe Precision TE-44 Turbocharger GBodyParts.com 3" downpipe. 2.5" Hooker cat-back exhaust system Custom flanged off-road pipe Rebuilt transmission with shift improver kit PTC 10 inch 2800rpm lockup torque converter B&M Supercooler transmission cooler Metco driveshaft loop Stock, rebuilt posi-traction rear differential New F-body radiator, 160 degree thermostat radiator hoses and G-Body parts silicone coolant hoses Many other small maintenance items like brakes, spark plugs, fuel filter, new vacuum lines, valve cover gaskets, etc. Interior ScanMaster 2.1 Innovate wideband O2 sensor Coolingmist VC-II digital progressive alcohol injection controller/boost gauge Wheels/Tires Suspension 16x8 American Racing "GNX style" black mesh/chrome wheels Kuhmo ECSTA Tires KYB shocks 2" drop front spindles UMI Performance upper and lower rear control arms Also have stock GN wheels with new street tires in the front and new Mickey Thompson Drag Radials in the rear (see pictures) Thanks for viewing and let me know if you have any questions.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
