Up for Bidding today is my Father's 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T or T-Type as some may call it. This is a Genuine 3 owner car that has not had the normal life most of these cars went through. It never was a street racer, weekend warrior, or some spoiled kids toy that got beat on a daily basis. I am a close friend with the second owner and was best friends with the third owner ( my 77 year old Father) who passed away on Veterans Day 2011 (11-11-11). Since he passed I have driven the car to a handful of car shows and cruise nights just to keep it exercised and to remember my father with my two sons. This car had one complete repaint about 14 years ago and still looks very nice. there are no scratches, scrapes or any other notable blemishes in the paint or body that I am aware of. All the black trim is still in nice shape and the bumpers still shine well with no dings or dents. Even the bumper fillers are still in excellent shape for their age, but that is what happens when the car is GARAGED from day it rolled off the dealers lot. Interior is all original as far as I know except the headliner and sun visors which we had professionally recovered 4 years ago. The drivers seat cushion on the r/h side has a small 1/8" defect in it ( barely noticeable ) and the t- top trim has 3 small cracks in the plastic on the ends, otherwise it is very nice. The carpet looks like it might have been replaced at one time because it is so clean but the original design heel pad is there so it might have an OEM GM piece used. The car is equipped with Concert Sound II and a power antenna that still works. I have replaced the rear speakers and the door speakers but the original dash ones still remain. Mechanically it retains its original drivetrain as far as I can see, no replacement parts tags or anything out of place, original g80 limited slip rear that works well. All factory braces and brackets appear to be in place. No exhaust leaks, engine is dry and transmission is also. It has a replacement catalytic converter on it and aftermarket stainless steel dual exhaust (very very nice). Has KYB gas adjust shocks at all 4 corners, Wheels are in nice shape, no bends or curbings but the clear is getting thin in some areas around the edges. Tires are not the stock sizes has bigs and littles on it for a neat stance, some may like it, some may not, but the tires are in excellent shape so why change them until they need to be. Has original spare tire in trunk with all hardware for the jack unused and accounted for. Everything in the car works as it should, all lights and accessories function as designed, no cracks in the lenses etc. Seatbelts are all present and function as designed. I think I thought of everything but I will probably add to the description over the course of the auction, any Questions ? Feel free to contact me thru Ebay and I will answer them asap, thanks Greg

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating
Wed, May 18 2022It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score. SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category. Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested. The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.
