1960 Buick Turbo Rat Rod Custom Made One Of A Kind!!! on 2040-cars
Cheshire, Connecticut, United States
|
This is a one of a kind project and rare as it is i have to let it go im looking for a certain car so trades can be entertained im going to try my best to describe the 4 year work thats been done to this car in full detail this is a turnkey driver so make no mistake thinking your buying a 10 year project so lets start with the good then we can go to the bad!!! It has a fully built 1987 Buick grandnational engine with only 22k on it before i wrecked the car in a street race!!! The engine was rebuilt by Eastcoast machine shop and it pushed 612 on the dyno with the old turbo thats in the picture but all that is gone i wanted to go back to stock bcuz the hood would close so i sold the injectors, turbo, front mount intercooler and the accufab throttle body and fuel rails i just about took everything that made it a monster and sold it all!! the engine still has the crane custom grind camshaft and the custom chain bcuz at that time it was hard as hell to find good buick shit so i spent money like hell!!!.the heads have a mild port i did myself for more flow wich made them very efficient and squeezed a shit load of CFMs out of them...people this motor is capable of way over 800hp but i never took it to that level bcuz buick shit is very costly!! the TA racing intake was removed and i installed a stock one with stock injectors and a BRAND NEW!!! stock turbo was also installed i wanted an everyday car so i can rely on..the cam is big but not too big for the street if you wanna here it run go on UTUBE and type 1960 buick lesabre turbo and you will here how ratical it is... the tranny has only 11k n it bcuz i fried it once so a local tranny shop name Dynamic did that for me and a good converter was installed so all that is just about bullet proof!! the mounts are custom made bcuz of the 60s struckture was soo diferent i had to basically build around it so it would look stock...hell that alone took 3 days to perfect!! it has the factory headers along with the factory intercooler and fans and injectors running on a factory tune but it still has the MSD 3 bar map sensor in it radiator is also factory the harness from the wrecked 1987 grandnational was completely removed and installed into this car so even the cruise control works!! I installed the Hydroboost brake system bcuz it was part of the harness and under high boost it helps this 8 thousand pound car stop very well!! I took a 1984 buick Le Sabre and used its fuel tank and straps using the grandnational sending unit with a brand new Aeromotive Stealth 320 fuel pump and it all went together very well!! I custom made a 3 Inch exhaust system from front to back tucked and clean so it doesnt hit the ground and this car sits about 3 inches from the ground and let me tell you nothing hits!! it has 30 series flowmasters so its tamed!! All the piping and i mean ALL!!! brakes,,,fuel,,,return are all made of stainless steel so u never have to worry about any of that!!! No one had a disk brake set up so i took 2 1964 spindles and machined them to the uppers and lowers so now i have disk brakes in front!! the frame on this car is incredibly solid with absolutly zero surface rust nevermind rust i couldnt believe it myself thank God for that one!! everything in the brake category its all new nothing has been reused in any sense.. the 1987 Grandnational rear was also custom fitted with redesigned lower trailing arms and custom made uppers were also made for the car as well as a pan hard bar to keep it steady and i also installed the original stablizer bar !!! i kept the alluminum drums in the rear i didnt think it needed disk but if it doesnt sell then i might go that route who knows!! the rear tail lights were a task bcuz back in the 60s there werent too many cars with reverse lights so my insanity took over me and not only ut a reverse light in there but if you look close i put all 5 bulbs in that circle making the regal lights all work!!! daamn im good!! as you can see i wired the 87 harness into the 60s dash so everything works!!! high beams signals oil even the cold light works until the car warms up letting you know its time to haul ass!! the check engine light and warning lights were also custom made into the dash!! the dash was i have to say the hardest bcuz i had to put the VSS into the 60s dash so the car would shift properly and as u can see i custom made a slot right in the middle for the factory digital tach and boost sensor!! i used the tilt column bcuz of the harness but also bcuz of that big ass steering wheel that was in the car was too daamn big so i trashed it and wipers signal high beam....all that shit works!! fans turn on only when the car needs them to so like i said its really a 1987 grandnational trapped in a 60 LeSabre!! Now lets do the bad!!! the I put an aftermarket shifter bcuz the original one got messed up in the accident but its all good... the original magic mirror dash still works so dont worry about that heres the part your going to laugh about....i wrapped this car with 4 2005 BMW 19 inch wheels out of a 850 series and they were expensive but it was the only thing i can get at the time but they look good as hell on this car!!! thr fronts are 19 by 9 1/2 and the rears are 19 by 13 so they are beefy in the back!! the whole bottom of the car i painted and undercoated so no need for any kind of undercarage work period!!! now the bad!!! i already installed one of the rockers and if you know anything about these cars the rocker panels are 3 of them...inner ...center...and outer...i can install it for you but i have to charge of course but it can be done!! the 2 foot sections of the front floor pans as u can see in pics need to be replaced...i did find them and i have them but like i noted if you want them installed you have to pay but i do have them both and they go with the car!! the interior needs to be redone completely including door panels but i do have all the original seats and covers.. it needs a carpet right rear bumper needs replacing bcuz of rust look at pictures it needs new front shocks and a alighment heater and climate control needs to be installed as well the radio also PLEASE READ THIS INFO!!! in the wonderful state of CT our DMV does NOT!! issue titles for cars this old but they do give us Q1 notorized by them wich is pretty daamn close to one if u ask me.... ALSO A NON REIMBURSED deposit of 500.00 is due 24 hours after auction ends and please dont waste my time remember ebay charges us to put these cars in here and they charge us to sell them so if you dont pay we still have to!! lets make this a smooth transaction bcuz your going to love the car!! all sales are final so if you cant buy it bcuz you found a T-Bird for half the price its really not my issue to deal with!!!...i will entertain some trades as long as its not your dads motor home lol my number if you have any questions is 475-201-2551 ok??? hey thanx for looking you guys rock!! good luck and happy biddings!!! |

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6. Cars Acura NSX Alfa Romeo Giulia Audi A4 Audi R8 Bentley Mulsanne Buick Cascada Buick LaCrosse Cadillac CT6 Chevrolet Bolt Chevrolet Cruze Fiat 124 Genesis G90 Hyundai Elantra Infiniti Q60 Jaguar XE Kia Cadenza Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Mercedes-Benz S550 Maybach Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class Mini Clubman Mitsubishi Mirage/G4 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman Rolls-Royce Dawn Toyota Prius Prime Volvo S90 SUVs Audi Q7 Bentley Bentayga Buick Envision Cadillac XT5 Chrysler Pacifica GMC Acadia Infiniti QX30 Kia Sportage Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Jaguar F-Pace Mazda CX-9 Nissan Armada Trucks Ford F-Series Super Duty pickups Ford F-150 Raptor Honda Ridgeline Nissan Titan half-ton Related Video: Featured Gallery Bentley Bentayga View 23 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub.
Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
Buick Enclave gets continental makeover with Tuscan trim
Fri, Mar 27 2015Buick is trying to lend an air of Italian elegance to the Enclave with its newly announced Tuscan Edition that's available on the crossover for the 2016 model year. Named after the famously hilly and fertile region of Italy, the package brings some bronze accents to the CUV. As the very specific trademark filing for the Tuscan suggests, the special edition adds bronze trim to the uprights in the grille, and the metallic color finds its way into the embellishments on the 20-inch chrome wheels, too. Buyers also get to choose from three shades when ordering the package: White Frost Tricoat, Dark Chocolate Metallic and Ebony Twilight Metallic. Beyond those trim upgrades, the Tuscan Edition is just like any other Enclave. The package can only be ordered on the Leather and Premium trims, and all of their features are still available including a power moonroof, park assist, HID headlights and many luxury features inside. As with the rest of the range, power comes from a 3.6-liter V6 with 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque that routes through a six-speed automatic. There's also a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The Italian-inspired CUV makes its debut at the New York Auto Show in just a few days and brings its bronzer to dealers this summer. Buick Introduces 2016 Enclave Tuscan Edition Bronze accents distinguish crossover that ignited brand's renaissance 2015-03-26 DETROIT – Buick today introduced the 2016 Enclave Tuscan Edition – a more distinctive expression of the popular crossover, highlighted by a bronze-tone grille and 20-inch chrome-clad wheels with bronze accents. The Enclave sparked Buick's renaissance eight years ago and continues to fuel its momentum, with 2015 sales building on record sales of 62,300 in 2014. "Buick's quality, refinement and style continues to attract more customers and this modern resurgence started with Enclave," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. "It was a pioneer for three-row luxury crossovers and remains one of the segment's most popular. The new Tuscan Edition celebrates Enclave's achievement and rewards owners with a higher level of distinction." The 2016 Buick Enclave Tuscan will be on display at the New York International Auto Show and goes on sale this summer on the Leather (1SL) and Premium (1SN) trims. It is offered in three premium exterior colors: White Frost Tricoat, Dark Chocolate Metallic and Ebony Twilight Metallic.
