Model: Grand National
Trim: coupe
I thought that I would never ever sell this car, but things change. I am selling my dream 1987 Buick Grand National that is in mint condition with only 15,215 miles on it. It is all stock except for: newer high dollar show paint, newer battery, brand new headliner, brand new floor mats, brand new valve cover gaskets, chrome turbo cover, brand new GNX/GTA rims, tires, lug nut covers, and center caps. The only reason for the base/clear paint was because the original paint was checking as all Grand Nationals did. This paint job is better than the factory paint ever was. The paint and body are a strong 9.7 out of 10, and that is being picky. The interior is a a 9.5 out of 10 only because it is not a brand new car. Never smoked in. Interior still smells new. Body has NO rust at all and never has. Everything works except for the A/C. It just needs a recharge. I have the original rims with all of the original caps and lugs. The rims even have the original tires on them still. The rims would need to be re-chromed to be in show condition. The previous owner stored them in his musty basement and they have some surface rust. The only other flaw in the whole car is the driver side window weather strip that runs diagonal and vertical has a tear in it.
My car runs, drives, shifts, and handles just like it did when it came from the factory as a new car. It is 99% stock and still has the factory 1987 exhaust system. It has never been beaten, raced, crashed, or pushed beyond its limits. It has been a show car and weekend toy its whole life. Always kept in a climate controlled garage and stored properly during the winter. Look at all of the pictures. You can take my car to your favorite car show as it sits. It is fully detailed and just waxed with Pinnacle wax (the best you can buy). If you are in the market for one of the nicest Grand Nationals under $25,000 in the country, this is it. This very rare, low mile, stock, investment quality, beauty would look incredible in your garage...wouldn't it???
Note: I still owe a few dollars on the loan that I used this car as collateral for. The title is at my local credit union, and can be easily obtained. If you have any questions or would like to see the car in person, just e-mail. Thank you for looking.

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
