1 of 2000 made. It was stripped and painted with a base/clear. Fiberglass bumper fillers, new marker lights, headlight bezels, 87 grill, and all new gaskets/seals. The floor pans have been POR'd and there is zero rust in the body. All original panels, doors, etc. It has GTA wheels, wide off-set in the back, normal off-set up front. It has 5/16 spacers up front with 2" studs. The rims were blasted, powered coated, and cleared and it has GNX center caps with the correct GM lugs with caps. The rims are wrapped in brand new Firestone tires. The interior is the Lier Ziegler (leather) with new front and rear seats. All plastic panels were cleaned and painted with the correct Sandstone Gray flex paint for plastic. The interior looks new but does have tiny imperfections but nothing of concern. It has a dual gauge piller with boost and knock gauge. The center console has oil and temp gauges. All gauges except for the knock gauge are Auto Meter. The speedometer and tach are off but I use the Scanmaster for those indicators. The car has 101,000 miles. I put an 1986 engine in it and it still retains the 84 tranny. I replaced the valve body and servo with one from an 86 (BRF). Tranny was rebuilt 2k miles ago and has the D5 converter. A 3200 stall will come with it. The engine has a new starter, alternator, AC compressor, 59mm turbo, 60lb inj., billet fuel regulator, 160 thermo, front mount intercooler, poly motor mounts, and 3" down pipe. I converted it to vacuum brakes and put aluminum drums on the back. I have the original engine, wiring harness, brackets, etc. It does have flaws as I have owned the car for 12 yrs and originally bought it in GA. Its spent most of the time in SC and OK and I dont drive it in the rain. The AC blows cool, not cold. Everything works even the cruise control. The vehicle is sold "as is".

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Trademarks indicate Buick Regal wagon could be on the way
Wed, Dec 23 2015American wagon fans have been waiting for General Motors to import a Buick-badged version of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer since the current Insignia-based Regal hit dealers. If a new patent filing is any indication, that day could be coming soon. Then again, it might not mean anything. AutoGuide reports that Buick has filed two trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office for "Motor land vehicles, namely automobiles." You can see the trademarks for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx" here and here. "Tour" smacks of wagon models, while the "x" – for all-wheel drive – makes us wonder if maybe we'll be seeing a rebadged version of the high-riding Opel Insignia Country Tourer (shown above). This isn't the first time Buick has stoked the hopes of US wagon fans, though. Earlier this year, trademarks were filed for the "Regal Sport Touring," a name that's very close to the Euro-market wagon's title. In fact, that trademark had the same description as the Tourx/Regal Tourx filings. As we've established before, automakers file trademarks all the time. It's far from a guarantee that anything will come of such trademarked names. Still, two wagon-ish filings with the USPTO from Buick in under a year makes it seem like there's at least someone at the Trishield brand that's campaigning for a long-roof Regal. Fight the good fight, friend. Related Video:
