Abandoned 1 Owner 32K Turbo Buick Grand National! Will It Drive Home? 

I love story's like that .

Most don't get to do that these days dad's are absent and don't raise their kids congrats

I literally cried. You heard me! 😢😭

I've let my car go for 5 years or close to it on a full tank, BUT-that is sitting in a temp controlled shop. I say temp controlled, "well insulated" for now. It has gas heat on a T-Stat. Doesn't get below 50. I plan to put A/C in it. On a 100 ish degree day here in the south with 100% humidity, in there with doors and windows closed it's 75-80 degrees. Anyway, I've pumped the old gas from my GN to my daily driver and never had an issue.

I put Fuel Stabilizer in my GN... works great!!

This guy was 1 of my best friends. Thanks for watching 👍

187.5 K is some miles. I hope your friend didn't just abandon the car "outside in the weather like my friend did.! I can't believe Randy just abandoned this 32k mile car in his back yard. I'm thankful to have the car now, it's inside out of the weather so I have stopped the bleeding. But man--what it's gonna cost to restore it! Thanks for watching and telling me your story.

@@buickdude69 no, I had to leave outside for 6 years though. i didn't have a 2 car garage & I'm jealous of yours though!. that's 1 huge mancave!

it's now kept in a garage & I want my daughter to learn how to drive it & make it her 1st car! they're heirlooms!!

I do have some original GN parts that I'd be willing to sell, let me know if you're interested

@@philcollins932 Thanks for the offer. I'm really not in that frame of mind at the moment. Focused on business and making money, not spending it. :)

Thank you. The next video will be out in 2 ish weeks and progress will be made. Thank you for watching! 👍😊

@@buickdude69 thanks for sharing. Looks way better washed up. If i was closer i would help you polish that black paint up nice!

I am all Buick for sure. At 1 time I had 2 turbo cars and 4 V8s -Buick Powered Buicks. I got down to my ‘72 GS and ‘87 GN. I had em both for sale in ‘00 and of course one of the Buick guys from the Michigan Chapter wanted the ‘72. So I gave up on selling the GN and shoved it in the corner of my shop. Still have it unfortunately today. My friend who passed and left me this car also had a restored 70 GS that is now his daughters. She has promised to sell it to me should she ever decide to sell it. There is a link to it in this videos description. The 3rd video on this car will be out around new years. Thanks For Watching! 👍😊

That definitely was not the answer either. 😊The car was full of fuel, which didn’t allow condensation or rust. I know from my own experience of leaving the tank full and starting it 4-5 years later, and it running fine. I was barely able to pump 2 gallons in it sloshing out the fill neck. What the problem was, isn’t what anyone thought of. I started changing parts and found it in the next video. 😊 Thanks for watching.

I like the old V8 Buick Powered Buicks better myself, but these cars are ok- like u said if you can ever get them right. But they are inconsistent and won’t run the same each pass 10 out of 10 times. The paint on top is rougher in places than it looks. We will see in time what happens with it. Thanks for watching 👍

@@buickdude69 looking forward to future content.

@Sub250 aerial shots Thanks. I've got as many or more years with them myself. I'm a Buick guy, and by that I mean I'm more into the V8s but love all "Buick Powered Buicks". At one time I had 4 V8 Buicks and 2 turbo cars back in the 90s. Sold everything but 1 GN and a '72 GS. They both were for sell. No one wanted the GN but they were knocking down my door for the GS. A guy from the Michigan chapter bought my GS. I stuck the GN in the corner and that's were it's been all these years. I'm not a chebby or Generic Meatheads guy that likes the turbo V6 like most guys out there now a days. Back when these cars were new, it was a lot of V8 Buick guys buying them. Guys who already had Skylarks and GS's, Wildcats, etc. A lot of them have died off through the years. I met a lot of them at the GS Nationals over 30 years ago. I've got 2 455s, 1 of them is going to be over 1600 hp with an F1X or next size up Procharger on it running on E85 before I do anything with the 2 turbo cars. :) If Randy's daughter Katie will ever sell me his GS, that's what it's going in. Or I'll put it in a C5 Vette just to piss off some chebby guys. :)

With extra Boost... Oil leaks develop.... it's not if .. but when lol...loved my GN ❤️...but it was a little spotty at times...O ring oil cooler is obsolete... just Hele-Arc it, and JB Marine Weld as needed....

Thanks for watching. I’m a Buick guy though so I hope to have more videos on the Real Buicks-the Buick Powered V8’s 👍😎 This guy was 1 of my best friends and I did a walk around video of his GS 11 years ago. That link is in the description of this video. The purpose of it was sand bagging hoping to pick on some chevys to street race but we never did. The car had more than 455 cubes and I wasn’t even really driving it or manually shifting it in the video. I’ll be buying it from his daughter hopefully if she ever decides to sell it. In the mean time I’d like to cover more V8 Buicks as well . Thanks again for watching. 😊

@@buickdude69 my first car at 15 was a 1972 Buick GS Original 455-4 speed car but had a 70 olds 442 350 rocket engine Traded that car do an 84 z28 lol Sure like to have it back

​@@mikep47 Junk the Olds engine! Why in the world would someone do that? I'd want the Buick engine. Buick engine only for me!

Lol well through simple deduction with no scan tools, I figure it out in the next video but had to work my way to it. Stand by, but it's running almost perfect now

I-65, KY -TN border. Franklin KY and Portland TN. This was October. Thanks for watching.

@@buickdude69 Must have been another lucky guy!!!!

Thanks but that’s not the answer, it’s not what u think, or what I thought either, but the answer is in the next video. Thanks for watching. 😊

It definitely needed a fuel filter and got one. However, that didn’t take care of it. I finally get to the bottom of it in the next video. Thanks for watching 👍😊

Thanks for watching. The 3rd video will be out in a couple weeks.

They can’t bring these back cause Buick doesn’t exist anymore! Just name only. I’m a Buick enthusiast as was my friend who owned this car and bought it brand new. He also has a beautiful 70 GS that his daughter now owns and has owned many other Buick powered Buicks through the years. The point to my rambling is, if it don’t have a Buick engine under the hood, it’s not a Buick. Period!! The thought of bringing any legendary Buick back is nothing but pure blasphemy!! However, of Generic Meatheads aka “GM” would ever allow there to be a real Buick Motor Division like there once was, and cast their own engine, I’d be all for it. I’d love to see a new “Buick V8” engine with a procharger or turbo. Sadly Generic Meatheads will never allow it. 😪

@@buickdude69 Pontiac... I miss the old cars... the stuff looks nice but all are way over priced shit from all over smashed together... hell everything is like that anymore ya'll stay safe frosty and free
