HERE WE HAVE A NICE AND AUTHENTIC 1986' BUICK GRAND NATIONAL 3.8 LITRE V6 INNERCOOLED TURBO. IT READS 98,294 ON THE ODOMETER, PAINT JOB IS LESS THAN 1 MONTH OLD, AND I SPENT OVER $2500 TO GET IT RIGHT, 4 COATS OF SINGLE STAGE BLACK, IT LOOKS GREAT BUT WILL STILL NEED TO BE COLOR SANDED BY THE NEW OWNER, HAS THE ORIGINAL 3:42 GEARS IN THE ORIGINAL 8.5" REAR END, REBUILT ORIGINAL 200R TRANNY WITH A SHIFT KIT AND HIGH STALL DONE 2 MONTHS AGO. 16" ENKEI WHEELS WITH 85% TREAD ALL THE WAY AROUND,HOTCHKIS UPPER REAR CONTROL ARMS,GRANNATELLI MASS AIR METER, K& N AIR CLEANER, AND A FLOWMASTER. REST IS STOCK. THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR BY ANY MEANS, NOR IS IT PERFECT, BUT IT IS A VERY SOLID FOUNDATION FOR A TON OF POTENTIAL, VERY RARE CAR, LESS THAN 60000 WERE MADE IN 86' AND THIS IS A VERY LIGHT VERSION OF THE GN BEING AS IT HAS MANUAL ROLLUP WINDOWS,MANUAL SEATS, MANUAL DOOR LOCKS. A/C STILL WORKS GREAT AND BLOWS COLD, HEATER CORE WAS BYPASSED BY PREVIOUS OWNER FOR REASON UNKNOWN, TENSIONER OR IDLER PULLEY NEEDS REPLACING AS IT MAKES SOME NOISE, MAY EVEN BE THE A/C CLUTCH PULLEY, PASSANGER SIDE VALVE COVER LEAKS A LITTLE OIL, AND COULD USE NEW BUSHINGS IN THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS. RUNS VERY HARD UNDER BOOST AND DRIVES AS A GN SHOULD BUT IDLES RICH AND A LITTLE ROUGH, MAYBE DUE TO THE GRANNATELLI MASS AIR METER WHICH ARE NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING A VERY POOR IDLE MIXTURE. INTERIOR IS DECENT, NOT BAD, ONLY BAD AREA IS THE TOP OF THE REAR SEAT THAT HAS BRITTLRED AWAY DUE TO AGE AND SUN. CAR HAS A CLEAN AND CLEAR CA. TITLE AND IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED THRU THE MIDDLE OF MAY, BUT TAGS ARE PAID THRU MAY OF 2011' JUST NEEDS THE SMOG DONE TO GET STICKER. IF BUY IT NOW IS USED, I WILL SUPPLY THE SMOG SO STICKERS WILL BE READY TO TRANSFER INTO NEW OWNERS NAME. AGAIN, NOT MINT AND HAS SOME ISSUES, BUT NOTHING MAJOR AND IS IN FACT A REAL GRAND NATIONAL WITH A CLEAN TITLE.
