The Buick Grand National It is a most interesting car. It may just look like an old American coupe from the eighties, clearly out of date aesthetics. But the Grand National was at the time the fastest car made by General Motors. Instead of mounting the V8 that could mount the Chevrolet Camaro or Corvette, mounted a brand new 3.8 liter V6 and electronic injection, turbocharged up to 245 hp. In Columbus (Ohio, USA) someone bought it, and before doing 100 km, he left it to languish in a garage for 34 years. Until today.
The former owner of the car never got to use it, hoping to resell it years later. Unfortunately, he passed away years ago, and the car was sold by his widow to the current owner, whose idea is to resell the car for a handsome profit. With only 56 miles on the odometer, the car sat in a garage for 34 years, with no protection. Fortunately, Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC is in charge of return it to its former splendor by means of a quick detailed. A detailed that seeks to prepare the car for sale, valuing its originality.
The top-of-the-line GNX version accelerated to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. It was a fearfully fast car for the time.
Although the car was dirty, the most worrying thing was the scratches from a dog on the car doors. By gently polishing so as not to damage the lacquer – the cars of the time had little lacquer in their paint – the black paint shines again. Other beauty treatments restore the shine to chrome rims, your original tires or the passenger compartment, in which some mold was starting to grow. The video you need to watch after a long day at work, comforting you in bringing a beautiful classic car back to life.
Mechanical restoration will be another problem, but visually, this Grand National is already exceptional.
