1987 Buick Regal with 'T' package (Option code Y56), Exterior Sport Package (W02), and rare T-Tops with V8 307 Engine

I had this beautiful 87 listed last week and found out that there was an odometer error.  I had bought this car last year and was told that it had 75K miles but when I checked the free car history on Ebay last week, I was astonished that the car has an extra 100K miles.  To be honest, you would never know this car has mileage above 100K; it truely rides and handles like a low mileage car.   My Virginia title states 75K.   Has current Virginia inspection and is currently registered.  

 What I found out from the previous owner is the following new items for restoration in early 2009 (only 8K miles ago): 

* New professional paint with two stage clear coat painted at a Chevrolet dealer

* New Weatherstripping

* New Converter

* New Front Brakes

* New Shocks

* New Radiator

* New Belts

* New  Carpet

* New Headliner

* Rebuilt Transmission with Shift kit

* New turn signal lever

* New Shift Cable

* New Hood Release cable

New items in 2010 totalling $1,644 w/reciept:

* New Water pump

* New Thermostate and seal

* Upper and lower hoses

* New By pass  and heater hoses

* New Master switch

New items in 2012 totalling $354 w/receipt:

* Evacuate and recharge AC system for R134 freon

* New Transmission Mount

* Replace new rear brake line

 

Why am I selling this beauty?  I just got laid off and I need to sell it to pay bills...  ;-(

Body:  All panels are rust free.  Needs touch-up on front drivers side filler panel.  Also, has a few dings on hood. 

Chrome: Nice front bumper but the top of the rear bumper has wear; see picture.

Paint: Was painted the original blue metallic at a Chevy dealer in 2009 and still shows very nice but with several chips and blemishes

Tires: Lots of tread (see pics) **has extra full size tire and aluminum rim spare in trunk**

Transmission:  Was told by the previous owner that the owner before him was a mechanic and he rebuilt the transmission with a shift kit in 2009.  

Motor:  V8 307 Engine runs perfect with no leaks (was told motor was rebuilt from a previous owner) and does not blow any smoke.  

Exhaust:  Has custom duel exhaust and SOUNDS GREAT...has a nice rumble sound

Interior: Nice interior with no rips or tears.  Dash has a little warping and top edge has slight cracks.  Right Power Window goes up very slow

T-Tops:  Very nice; has new rubber but does leak; perhaps needs a little tweaking

Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
