I bought this the other day , so I need to sell my Grand National. It is a very nice car, and it runs great. Here are the details: 1986 Buick Grand National Inter-cooled Turbo V6.

All emblems, door locks and handles, wheel mouldings, mirriors, window trim, spoilers, bumpers, lights, weatherstrips were removed, cleaned, painted then put back on. There was not ANY patch panels or body work done to this car in ANY WAY. It was and is a no rust car and all the factory seams for all the panels are visibile and are just the way they were in 1986. All paints were Dupont B/C of the highest quality. New emblems, marker lights, park lights, new Wagner Halogen headlights were installed. New Soft Seal COMPLETE weatherstrip kit, T-Top, trunk, hood to cowl, door sill, inner and outer belt line, window, and door seals were installed. There are no runs, sags, or "orange peel" in the paint. Many hours of prep time were spent to give it the look, shine, and straight body that it has. Interior: New headliner, front bucket covers, headrest covers, upper door panels, sun visors. No cracks, tears or rips in the seats, carpet or panels.

This is a proven set up from Aggressive Automotive that gives a dependable car for the daily and weekend driver with no problems. Kenne Bell cold air intake with 3" chrome induction tube, and 2 1/2 " polished SS down tube, hot wired fuel pump, Garrett inter-cooler. New water pump, battery, Belden plug wires, radiator and cooling system flush and fill. Known problems are as follows: Power antenna does not work, never has. There is a 2" crack on the top seam of the dash pad, was there when I bought it. The rear bumper filler is cracked in 1 place, at the rear by the tail light. The front fillers were just replaced and were professionally painted and are perfect. There is a small red stain on the driver's seat. I have all the paperwork that was given to me by the previous owner showing all the work that has been done to this car over the past 20 years, receipts, manuals, stock parts, and history of owners. Engine and trunk compartments are clean and detailed, the wheels are perfect with no rust, pits or " curbing. " The A/C is perfect-- all fan speeds work properly and it blows ice cold. It is still R-12. This car gets compliments every single day I drive it, including today. It will spank anything (well, almost anything) on the road, and is very quiet and reserved in it's manners. This is a true and exceptional example of the Buick motto: fast with class. I am the owner, and I am not a dealer. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. I can help with shipping that you arrange. Here are some pictures: I only have room for one car in the garage, so I need to sell this one. It is located in Austin, Texas, and the price is a very competitive $12000.00. Thanks
Ok, have to ask....what is taking so long to change your avatar to your newly acquired Wildcat???? :laugh: :laugh:
Hey Frank, TTT for ya....(if its still for sale) Im looking at getting another turbo car and have a few questions, 1) Do you have smog testing ( I assume you do) and does the car pass ok? Im not speaking of the visual aspects, Im refering to the sniffer test. Im in Dallas area and need ask.... 2) hows the glass (ttops and doors) on rattles and leaks? 3) Have you done a car fax on the car, and if so, get a clean bill of health? 4) Any coolant, oil, trans leaks? 5) performance wise, how does the car perform in contrast to a totally stock unit with your upgrades? 6) Is it a posi (G80) rearend? I went through the ad and may have missed that being mentioned I wouldnt bother you with the questions if I wasnt tossing the idea around to purchase, and answered here or PM is fine. Thank you!
