Hi all,
This is your lucky day! I have no luck when I say no luck I mean it. I have invested at least $8,000 into this car in the past 4 years I have owned it and I have yet to enjoy the car. Here are the Specs:
1985 BuicK Grand National
65k apx have to check odometer to verify
Hard top car - Cloth GN Gray and Black Interior - Power Steering - Power Brakes - Power windows - A/C - New Speakers and Stereo. Bought car for a fun cruiser kept most all stock Garaged most of the time she spent with me.
I had car repainted 3 years ago looks great except inside drivers side drip rail I will send photos.
Some of the work I had done:
4 New KYB shocks
New timing chain old one lost a tooth so I had to have the heads rebuilt because of this.
Rebuilt heads
Had trans rebuilt at 61,000
Drivers side Power window motor and control.
New Computer
1986 GN Turbo clocked to fit the 85
So many more things I cant even repaired and replaced
Heres the Problem Thinking I had a turbo problem I replaced the stock turbo with that of a good rebuilt 86' as i started the car trying to get it running the other day I noticed squeaking and clunking noises well after 2 minutes with no oil pressure before I figured out the oil pump or the crank sensor went bad. I don't know which one and don't care anymore I want this car gone come take it away. I am guessing the lack of oil probably made me spin a bearing somewhere who knows.
As you can tell I am frustrated
and my wife is nagging me to get rid of 1 of my 2 projects
Call anytime (908) 892-9678
I will email pictures or come see for yourself.
