1985 Buick Regal 350 Vortec V8 And Grand National Interior on 2040-cars
Springfield, Ohio, United States
This is a 1985 Buick Regal. I have had the car since 2007. The car was redone in 2005 from the guy that I bought it off of. It has a 350 Vortec V8 from a 1994 suburban, T5 % speed manual transmission,and the factory rear end. The engine still runs great but the battery is dead so it needs a new battery. The car has ran great the whole time I have had it but it seems like the clutch hydraulic system needs to be replaced because I can't shift through the gears anymore. I looked it up at Autozone and they said it would be $179 for the system. The speedometer doesn't work anymore due to the transmission being electrical and the speedometer being mechanical. The tires on the car have about 5000 miles on them so they have plenty of tread on them. On the highway, the best I have gotten was 26 mpg due to the 5 speed and 2.70 gears in the rear end.
The engine modifications are Eldelbrock torker II intake manifold, edelbrock 600 cfm carburetor, camshaft from a Trans am, and MSD plugs and coil. I have had no problems with this engine ever. It truly is a tank. The car also comes with a 750 cfm quadrojet Carburetor from a corvette The Body is in rough shape. It is rusted on the back wheel wells, doors and on the back bumper. The car does come with a lot of extras also. It comes with the two Weld racing drag lites that are on the front of the car, A Grand National hood that is primered, Maroon interior carpet and pieces with power windows, and extra side window and back glass. All it needs to drive on the road is the Clutch Hydraulic system and a new Battery. The windows and some of the car have frost on them due to the cold morning we were having in the pictures A good Winter hot rodder project! |

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
Buick prepares Super Bowl ad blitz to introduce Cascada
Wed, Jan 27 2016Super Bowl 50 will kick off on February 7, and Buick will use the big game's massive audience to get the word out about the new Cascada convertible. The the broadcast spot will be paired with a humorous digital campaign to advertise the convertible online. Buick hasn't released the 30-second Super Bowl commercial yet, but a teaser image shows that it stars New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. and actress Emily Ratajkowski, known for roles in the films Gone Girl and Entourage. The ad is part of the "Experience the New Buick" campaign, which aims to position the brand to appeal to a younger demographic. The brand also has Ellie Kemper, the star of Netflix's hilarious Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Erin on The Office, to sell the Cascada, Regal, Encore, and Enclave in a new online campaign. She plays an exaggerated version of herself and flirts with a guy who thinks Kemper owns Buick's new convertible. The spot tries to capitalize on the quirky charm of the actor's Kimmy Schmidt character. Buick will cut the longer clip (below) into vignettes for ads on sites like YouTube. Buick spokesperson Crystal Wilson told Autoblog that viewers' reactions to Kemper's commercial have been "totally positive" so far. First-Ever Buick Super Bowl Ad Features Odell Beckham Jr. and Emily Ratajkowski Latest "Experience the New Buick" ad spotlights new Cascada convertible 2016-01-26 DETROIT – Buick's first-ever Super Bowl ad will bring the brand's award-winning "Experience the New Buick" campaign to the biggest night in TV advertising. The campaign launched in 2014 and challenges consumers' false perceptions of the brand. The 30-second spot, scheduled to air during Super Bowl 50, features Buick's all-new Cascada luxury convertible and stars New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and actress/model Emily Ratajkowski. The spot will be the first new Buick commercial to air in 2016, a year where the brand will launch three new products. The Cascada, Buick's first convertible in 25 years, arrives in dealerships in the coming weeks. It features an athletic and sculptural beauty that delivers a distinctive profile, whether the top is up or down. Along with the perception-shifting Cascada, Buick showrooms will soon feature a redesigned LaCrosse sedan and the new Envision, a compact crossover. Both go on sale this summer.
