Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This car is a wonderful example of a driver quality collectible. The engine and transmission have been rebuilt within the last 2k miles, with papers to prove it. Tranny has a mild shift kit that makes the shifts nice and crisp. The engine was rebuilt to stock specs sans a double roller timing chain. It was painted and installed with new GN1 valve covers, 10mm spark plug wires and a hard mass air flow pipe that replaced the old dryer hose. Also installed was a hooker header exhaust with headers. In addition there is an adjustable fuel pressure gauge to compliment the walboro 255 in the tank. The A/C compressor is new at the time of the rebuild and blows cold on the hottest of Florida days. Other than that the car remains as it drove off the assembly line. Tires are 60% and not dry rotted or cracked. The wheels have a little bit of rust but look great from 20 feet.

The interior is in excellent shape as well. I just had new seat covers ordered and installed. They look just like the factory material and fit perfect. The carpet looks outstanding and not sure if it has been replaced or not. The center console is also in impeccable shape. Even the hinge on the armrest is still intact. The only thing not original is the shifter. It is a machined aluminum piece that has Buick Grand National etched into it. The car has all the options for a 1987 Grand National.

If you are looking to make a very nice car this will be a great base. There is virtually zero rust in the t top area and the doors, which is the main culprit to g-body's. The quarters and trunk areas are clean as well. Only the c pillar on the passenger side has a very minute area of bubbling, the size of a quarter. This is a very easy fix. The rear bumper filler has been replaced at some point and was not painted. It is black so I am assuming it was a fiberglass unit but have not inspected it any closer. The previous owner had new door hinges and pins installed to resolve the saggy door and hard closing problems these cars experience. There is no need to slam the door anymore with this done, it closes like a new car. I have put a thousand miles on this car and have had zero issues out of it. It rides and drives tight for the year and mileage.

I have a lot of original paperwork with the car as well. From the owners manual to the first registration showing its Florida heritage. All the work done was by local shops and I will gladly give numbers so a perspective buyer can talk to them about the builds.

Flaws:

The car will need a new driver side bumper filler but if it meets the reserve I will buy and install one.

Paint is very oxidized and will need a complete respray to be show quality.

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

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.
