Project Grand National

This is my current Project - a 1986 Buick Grand National. The car is going through a minor restore currently. Going to be keeping it pretty much stock.

The photos at the bottom of the page are from when I was buying the car. The photos at the top of the page are the most recent.

I am Currently thinking of selling the 1986 Grand National for more of a weekend driver that has already been restored - IE a (87/88) IROC 5.7 Blue, (86/87) Conquest TSI Blue, 80's 911 turbo or 944, or a Turbo Trans AM (80/81). The GN Project has been sitting for so long it might be time for a trade for a less rare car that I can enjoy with my family.

A 88-93 Mustang Supercharged Notch might be nice to. I am pretty much open to all trade options at this point.

If you have something intresting to trade please contact me - saleen90181@gmail.com. I do not check this mail to often but I will get back to you if I have intrest in your trade. No SPAM or BS will be excepted.

Be aware - from the pics posted - that the car is now in pieces and please review the extensive list of new parts that come with the car in a trade. You will find this information at the bottom of this page. (If not avaiable when you click this page please check back after 4/5/2011)

Problems

T-Tops and all hard ware have been removed because I found a leak - a non professional repair was attempted before I took it apart - a body shop will need to strip the body filler out and repair

Door bottoms have some rust - not bad but will need to be addressed for show car

Fuel rails and other metal parts in motor show surface rust - will need to be striped for show car - does not affect running of motor

Driver side Exaust manifold has a leak - gasket must be replaced - Have gaskets with the refreshed heads that come with the car

Pass Side Valve cover has an oil leak at the back of the motor

Small Rust hole on driver side rear 1/4 just infront of rear tire - again non professional repair was attempted - small cut and replace of sheet metal (Less than a 1/2 dollar)

Small dings on doors and Pass rear 1/2 - not major

Needs paint on entire car - car has orginal paint - NO BODY WORK DONE YET

Over all a great find - was a senior car - found in a barn - was a good driver but I took it apart to find the issues for a show car because of the rare VIN and Codes and this is what I found

Injured my shoulder and do not have the time to restore at this time. If you have a complete car that is something like I listed I will be intrested. As listed I have all the parts nessary - just not the time.
