    FS: 1987 Buick Grand National



    I've been getting bored of my car lately and have been wanting a new bike for a while so I figure now may be the time to sell or trade. It's a great car but I baby it and sadly enough I've never even done a burn out in it.

    What I am looking for:
    KTM 690
    Husqvarna SM610
    BMW XMoto
    Honda XR650R street legal motard
    08+ Triumph Speed Triple
    Buell 1125R/CR
    KTM Duke 990
    Ducati Hypermotard
    Other liter bikes may be considered

    I would value the car at $8000/obo, so in the situation of a trade cash may also be needed.

    The short: This car is a great driver's car. It is not a show car (even though I won 2nd best GM at the UMass car show this past May) but certainly turns heads and gets compliments every where I go. It has some scratches and a few small dents on it but they're hardly noticable. The car needs nothing and is ready to go. It just passed inspection in September.

    Car specs:
    1987 Buick Regal Grand National
    ~168k Miles
    3rd owner

    Mods include:
    93 Octane performance chip from Turbotweak
    GTA Wheels w/center caps and custom decals + 3 extras
    Delphi 37 lb injectors
    Walbro Fuel Pump
    Fuel Pressure gauge on fuel rail
    Bosch 231 fuel pressure regulator
    3" Downpipe to 2.5" dual exhaust with cat and mufflers
    Cold air intake with 9" K&N cone filter
    F-Body radiator with dual electric fans
    Biggie oil filter adapter
    Optima red top battery
    Console armrest/storage with cupholders that I built - craftsmanship is ok not great
    Scanmaster 2.1 (tells you important info about the car, a must for tuning)
    Python 990 2-way remote start/alarm with proximity sensor (may remove)
    Clarion headunit with Polk SR speakers, sub and MOMO series amps (may remove)

    Extras include:
    Emissions chip
    Factory service manual
    7 Biggie ACDelco oil filters (these are hard to find and very sought after!)
    3 extra Sylvania long life lowbeams
    Some extra rear floor mats
    Extra console lid
    2 core MAF sensors (they're bad but will net you $25 each from Kirbans)
    A set of mismatching lug nuts with 4 matching lock lugs
    Adjustable wastegate actuator


    Background about the car:

    I purchased the car from a Springfield Police officer in August 2006. He had the car for 3 years and put very minimal miles on it. For the most part all he did was upgrade things on it. Before he owned it, it was owned by a old lady who I believe was the original owner. The car was serviced by the dealer regularly. I may have records of that somewhere, I'll have to see. The car did fail inspection in 2007 for bad ball joints, I had all four replaced at Firestone in Northampton and the car passed after that. I also had the front shocks replaced at the same time.


    CARFAX from after I purchased the car below: There is a odometer inconsistency listed on the CARFAX, it is not correct. The odo only shows 5 digits and the inspector didn't add the 1 to the front when I got it inspected.

    Forgot to mention I have replacement rocker panels. Never got around to having someone do the body work though.

    Did I see this thing infront of some independent coffee shop in Ludlow about 3 months ago? If so I asked you (or who ever was driving the car exactly what it was.)

    Wasn't me but people ask me all the time. Or they tell me I have a nice Monte Carlo.

    nine times out of ten its an electric razor, but...every once in a while...its a dildo. of course its company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite article "a" dildo ...and not..."your"...dildo...

    Holy blast from the past Batman

    Had a friend in HS who had one of those and Goddamm did he work the fuck outa his. I vividly remember him racing a camaro on the 114 in East Providence RI.. right after the Cemetary under the bridge from a rolling 20mph start at 2 in the morning.. He punched it, the nose came up and that car took off like a rocket and left that Camaro in the dust
    We went everywhere in that car and it always turned heads, maybe more so from it's low rumble and glass packs than looks but damm was it fun.

    Bump. I don't think my beater will pass inspection this year so I gotta free up some cash.
