Save this car. This Grand National has set outside for last 12 years , the last owner did not give it the respect it should have got. Said he was going to restore it some day!, after years of trying to buy the car, he gave in and sold me the car, I already have two 442 project cars, but had to get the car out of there before he changed his mind, so I’m putting on here in hopes someone will restore this Grand National back to it’s glory days.
As you can see in pictures motor is apart and on a motor stand, all the parts are in the trunk,( turbo, brackets, valve covers, ect.) the parts I know are missing are ,fan shroud, heads, and the aluminum turbo wheels. There were no keys for car, I drilled out trunk lock, so you will need one, and I removed ignition lock, so car would steer, no damage was done doing this. Please look at all pictures before bidding, I know little about Grand Nationals, and the trunk sticker with all the RPO codes should help with options and shows this is a Grand National. Please ask all questions before you bid.
I have a clear Title in Hand in my name. You will need to have all shipping arrangements made, I will help load if possible, all money must be paid before this car moves from my garage. A 100.00 deposit must be made through pay pal within 24 hours of the sale, unless we have made different arrangements . Thanks for looking.
I have took good look at seats, and they will need recovered, both fronts have rips but not at seam. Also, if car get's no bids by Friday , I will pull car, I have a offer for the drive train (motor, trans, rear end), and I will part out rest of car,( let me know if you need something) and scrap what I don't sale.

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.
2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
