1986 Buick Regal T-type 3.8l Sfi Turbo W/t-tops Burgundy/burgundy on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:111604
Location:

Clanton, Alabama, United States

Clanton, Alabama, United States

Selling the T-type to make room in the shop - no time to drive it and she needs a new home.  This car was maintained with Mobil 1 Synthetics and has a few minor upgrades that were done prior to my owning the car in the summer of 1988.  This car has a watercooled turbo but I still idled the car for approx 60 seconds prior to shutoff. 3-inch exhaust with flowmaster mufflers. Solid intake tube, new gas tank, fuel pump, sending unit and fuel filter.    

Car is a good daily driver with minimal work - 

Here's what I know of that needs to be addressed on the car to get it show ready:
  
-Needs to be painted - car has original factory paint that has weathered - 
-Top of dash is cracked (Vinyl and the plastic grill need to be repaired or replaced)
-T-top gaskets, and window gaskets on the doors need to be replaced.
-Needs (and comes with) bumper fillers, hood badges, OEM style floor mats.  
-Visors need to be re-covered
-Carpet on back deck (speaker deck) needs to be replaced
-AC isn't cold, but we had replaced the compressor with GM factory unit in 1992 before the car was garage stored around 1995 till sept of last year - definitely gonna need a recharge.
-Need center-caps for original wheels
-Hood blanket needs to be replaced to show the car
-Rubber bumpers (black) that ran on mid-section from front to rear were removed a long time ago when one started to fall off - so you'd probably want to get those to get it to the factory look
-Heater Core (comes with one, but hasn't been installed as of right now)

Runs great - I always ran this car with Mobil 1 Synthetic, always cooled down the turbo - even after water injected turbo upgrade was added.
New tires, new tank, fuel pump, sending unit, radiator.  New heater core *(not installed yet). 
Serviced last month with Royal Purple trans fluid, differential fluid, and synthetic oil.
Seats, carpet, doors, and console are in great shape. All chrome is in excellent shape
Never wrecked - NO RUST, NO BODYWORK done except on front left fender had a grocery cart hit it and was repaired + parking lamp replaced

2013 Buick Encore

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.

Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
