JR is in love with Buick Grand Nationals. In the 90's JR's Uncle bought a 1987 Buick Grand National and it was love at first sight. JR always told himself that when he got older he would own a Buick Grand National someday. That day came in 2003 when JR bought his first GN. Unfortunately he got into an accident which lead him to the GN he has now, and makes our Car of The Month! The GN was stock with 58,000 miles on it. JR kept it that way until he got the itch to make it faster.
JR added Ported and Polished Heads with mtahching Intake, Alky Kit, 212 Cam, PTE 6262BB Turbo, PTE Front Mount Intercooler, H&R Full Rear Suspension and Bobs 2 Step. All this makes for some nice and quick upgrades, but JR didn't just care about Performance. JR put in some custom gauges along with LED interior lights, LED tailights and a set of Billet Specialties Street Lites wheels. Everything was done by JR himself and all the Tuning was done by Otto at Otto Performance. After everything was said and done, JR's GN made 600HP on the Dyno, and at EMC's Track Rental in October 2011 the car blew a head gasket 3/4's of the track. JR turned the car off once that happened and still ran a high 11. Not bad, right? JR's Grand National is nicely done, built right and has some cool upgrades that have finally come into the market for the G-Body cars. JR does plan on putting a new motor in the GN and is ready to go full on at EMC's next track rental.
JR also owns a really nice 1967 Ford Mustang that is on our site and For Sale. If your a Ford lover you should go look for it after reading this. JR is a very active Member and a great guy... Nothing he wouldn't do for any Member and makes the trips out to any Long Island meet all the way from the Bronx. A great guy that is a lot of fun and fun to have around. We at EMC are lucky to have such a loyal, caring Member. To speak to JR go to our Members Section - JR'sQUICK86
