1986 Buick Regal T Type Turbo Like Grand National 1987 Gnx 64k Miles No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:64000
Location:

Sugar Land, Texas, United States

Sugar Land, Texas, United States

 

Up for sale is a 1986 Buick Regal Turbo T-Type.   One of only 2,384 T-Types produced in 1986.   I imported this car from Canada about a month ago with plans of doing a full restoration and giving it to my dad as a present.   However, plans have changed (we got him a 69' Skylark GS instead)  and I have no space to keep it.   The car has 64K original miles (odometer is in KM and reads 102K).   I drove this car down from Toronto - 1700 miles in just two days, without a glitch.  That should tell you quite a bit.   

                The following are New in the last year

  • Tires

  • Headliner

  • Alternator

  • Walbro in-tank pump

  • Racetronix hot wire kit for the fuel pump

  • Fuel Filter

  • GM Discs and pads

  • 3 Core Radiator

  • Transmission Cooler

  • Rear differential service

  • Dew strips

  • Lower window strips

  • Factory GM shifter

  • Chrome GM NOS entry sills

  • Engine detail

     

    The following are a bolt on improvements the car has:

     

  • 2  1/2" dual Exhaust

  • Adjustable fuel pressure regulator

  • 42lb injectors

  • TT Chip

  • K&N Intake with aluminum mass air pipe

 I have documentation for all of the above work, which was done by the previous owner and will be glad to share a file with the new owner.

                What the car might need:

  • A/C has been converted to R134 but does not blow cold.   It worked fine on my drive down and was ice cold.  It just stopped working.

  • Paint job possibly?  That's a judgment call, but I am a perfectionist.

  • Front seats reupholstered possibly

  • Front speakers and possibly the factory stereo  (it has an aftermarket JVC)

  • One of the rear bumper fillers has a crack

  • Door seals

Mechanically this car runs awesome (I dare say it is quicker than my GNX), probably a 9 or a 10.   Cosmetically, I would rate it a 7.  The paint is a bit tired and it has typical for the age chips, dings, touch ups, etc..  Car also has some nice factory options like the G80 posi.  This is also a more desirable non T-Top car.  The previous owner did quite a bit with the car in the last year.   Best as I can tell at some point in its life the car has been repainted the original factory color and the transmission was rebuilt (with a shift kit) as it has very nice crisp shifts.  Based on the import documentation I had to provide customs identifying all previous owners and transfer dates/mileages between them,  I believe this car to have an original 64K miles.   All in all, I would call this a basically stock plus a few bolt-ons (awesome running)  daily driver in presentable shape.  It could be a lot more in the right hands, but more than an excellent place to start as a lot of the bigger jobs have been done.   I am taking a loss on this car because of the costs to bring it down to Texas (at the buy it now price offered), but with all my other projects, I simply need it gone now.  It just past state inspection.  All the import documentation was done correctly and I have a clear Texas title in hand.  The car has a clean Carfax and is straight/accident free.   

Please don't ask me how much I would take for the car.  This is a no reserve auction and there is a "buy it now" option too.  If the "buy it now" is not taken, high bidder gets it, plain and simple.   Auction terms: $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end time.  Full payment due within 72 hours via cash, cashier's check or wire transfer.  Car must be picked up by July 31st latest.  If you do not agree to these auction terms, DO NOT BID.  Also, if you have any questions, please ask them before you bid, not after you have won the auction and the car is already yours.  Sorry for being so blunt, I just want to make sure there are no hiccups with the sale as I don't want to relist it.   I would not to hesitate driving this car anywhere if you want to fly into Houston and drive it home (obviously I can say this haven driven it from Toronto!).   Otherwise, shipping will be up to the buyer to arrange (location is zip code 77479).    If you have any questions, please contact me via Ebay and provide your phone number.  I will be glad to call you back, but do not wish to put my phone number in this listing.  I will also be more than glad to show the car to you if you are local and want to see it before the auction ends.  The car has been listed for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime.

I have tried to be as honest and transparent as I could (maybe to a fault).   I am not a dealer, this is a private sale.   All pictures were taken in the last few days at my home.  Again, this is not a mint cream puff garage queen.   If you want one of those, please look elsewhere.  This is however a nice, tight, solid un-abused  and mechanically sorted quick running car that would make a reliable daily driver and get you the occasional thumbs ups while cruising!   Good luck!

Here is a walk around video of the car, taken in Toronto before I picked it up.

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Neil Young's 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark brings $400,000 at auction

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Singer-songwriter Neil Young's extensive collection of model trains have fetched nearly $300,000 at auction, along with classic cars and musical equipment owned by the 72-year-old folk-rock icon. Young, a model train enthusiast for decades, offered more than 230 pieces at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles from his collection of Lionel trains, including a custom-painted Commodore Vanderbilt 4-6-4 locomotive that sold for $10,000. Several cars that Young owns were also sold. A 1953 Buick code 76X Roadmaster Skylark convertible with a steering wheel hub that says, "Customized for Neil Young," went for $400,000, the auction house said on Saturday. Young, best known for his Woodstock-era songs as well as his work with the bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has said the vast model train layouts at his California ranch helped him connect with his son Ben, who has cerebral palsy. Other items auctioned off on Saturday included some of Young's guitars, amplifiers and microphones. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bridge School in California, which Young's ex-wife Pegi Young co-founded in 1986 for children with severe speech and physical impairments.Reporting by Joseph AxRelated Video:
