I am the executor of my brother’s estate, and his 1986 Grand National is the last item to be sold before I can close the estate. This is what I know about the car:
It’s been in the family since it was new. My uncle bought it in Aug. 1986 from the Buick dealership in Monroeville, PA. At the time he was 75. Other than wanting to buy a car that night, I don’t know why he would buy a GN--he was not the fast car type. Anyway, he died 2 years later, and my aunt kept the car but didn’t drive it. When she died 3 years later, she left it to my brother.
My brother was a meticulous mechanic. He did all of his own work. Once the car was titled to him, it was garage kept most of the time…except when he was visiting my father in Leeper, PA. Once while there, he parked the car under a few pine trees, and that left pine sap on the hood…it looks like water marks, and it cannot be seen in the photos, but the hood needs repainted.
When the car is sold, I will give its new owner the 2 volume set of GM shop manuals that covers the car. Also, there’s a bunch of newsletter-type publications by Applied Technologies & Research, Inc. that he had. I don’t know what my brother did to this vehicle, but I know it’s not all stock.
Mileage is 64,000, and it got its new PA state inspection 3 weeks ago.
The only thing I know the car needs is a radio antenna; it is not on the car.
Price: $10,000. It’s priced to sell.
Please call: 412-271-4592
Thanks.
