1987 Buick Regal T-Type with 455 Engine
Questions: wahlehw at att dot net
DESCRIPTION: This Regal is a real T-Type that came with a non-turbo 3.8 V6. I bought it used with 36,000-miles. A rebuilt 455 Stage 1 Buick engine was swapped in at 52,100 miles. Current mileage is 138,100 with 86,000 miles on the engine. This is a non-smoker vehicle.
Engine: 455 Stage 1 Buick engine with 9.5 to 1 compression ratio (462 cu-in).
Drive Train: Grand National drive train: torque converter, TH200-4R trans, driveshaft and 3.42 posi-differential.
Induction System: Holley ProJection throttle body on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. The 900 cfm throttle body contains four 85-lb/hr injectors. MegaSquirt digital fuel controller and K&N air filter. The MegaSquirt digital fuel controller is programmed with a laptop computer via a free graphical interface. This system requires some knowledge of digital fuel injection systems. The MegaSquirt web site contains a great deal of free information on all aspects of their controller and digital fuel control.
Exhaust: Magnaflow 2-1/2" stainless steel X-crossover dual exhaust system with stainless steel straight-through mufflers and head pipes. Stock lightly ported exhaust manifolds
Suspension: Regal diesel front springs, KYB gas shocks, GN front and rear sway bars
Ignition: HEI electronic ignition
Brakes: Complete new brake system in 2012 including master cylinder, vacuum power booster, proportioning valve, all steel brake lines, front rotors and calipers, rear wheel cylinders, and flexible brake hoses
Fuel System: External electric fuel pump mounted on side rail. All fuel lines replaced with rubber hose or braided stainless steel hose
Cooling System: 4-core radiator with clutch fan. New water pump in 2013
Wheels: T-Type aluminum rims with Firestone black-wall radial tires (P235/60-R15) with about 20,000-miles
Interior: Very clean gray interior with front bucket seats and center console
Power Accessories: Power windows & power driver’s seat
CONDITION: The car starts and runs well. Engine oil and filter changed at 3-4000-mile intervals. All mechanical parts were on a regular maintenance schedule. The digital fuel controller replaced an unreliable Holley analog fuel controller. The digital system has been driver for 23,000-miles over 7-years and has been very reliable. An oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold is the primary sensor that controls air-fuel ratio. All sensors can be viewed on a laptop computer including air-fuel ratio, air and water temps, RPM, throttle position, injector pulse width, manifold air pressure, plus many more operating parameters. The interior is still very nice and clean for 138,100 miles. The chrome bumpers are in good condition. The aluminum T-Type rims have a gray oxidized coating.
KNOWNN MAJOR DEFECTS: Rust is the primary reason I’m selling this car that has been driven year-round. Salty Ohio winters have taken their toll on the undercarriage and body panels. All undercarriage fuel and brake tubing was replaced. Door panels have rusted and separated on their lower edge. Rust spots show on body panels. The brake pedal is too low in spite of installing a complete new brake system. Maybe the new owner will figure out why the pedal is low. In hot weather, the engine has a tendency to overheat in stop-and-go traffic. Engine runs well but leaks oil around the front cover/seal. Air conditioning currently operating but weak- needs some Freon.
SHIPPING: The car can be picked-up in Canal Fulton, Ohio but arrangements can be made to pick it up in the vicinity of Canton, Ohio.
RETURNS: The car is used and sold "as-is" without a warranty.
PAYMENT: Cash or cashier’s check. I accept PayPal for a down payment.

2016 Buick Regal prices slashed
Tue, Aug 4 2015The Buick Regal is getting an aggressive price cut for the 2016 model year to keep pace in a crossover-centric world and its own hyper-competitive midsize sedan segment. The 2016 Buick Regal GS now starts at $35,915, after a $925 destination charge, which amounts to a $3,320 price cut compared to 2015. There's no de-contenting associated with the cost decreases either, and the vehicles are now available with Apple CarPlay. The lower prices follow through much of the lineup. The 1SP Premium model sees a $2,535 savings at $33,415 after destination; the 1SL trim falls $1,000 to $30,840; and the 1SV maintains at $28,915. The decision to make these cuts is meant to better position the midsize sedan against its rivals. "We know consumer sentiment towards sedans has decreased," Buick spokesperson Nick Richards said to Autoblog. CUVs like the company's own Encore are where buyers are moving. "Repositioning the Regal to more aggressively compete in the midsize sedan segment is the first of many steps we are taking in advance of next year's product offensive," Buick sales vice president Duncan Aldred said in a letter to dealers, according to USA Today. The decision probably couldn't have come at a better time because the Regal has suffered so far in 2015. Through July, the company has delivered 10,928 of them, down a significant 19.3 percent from the same period last year. A recent study also found that the model was among the most likely in the US to be sold after just one year of ownership.
Buick begins offering 24-hour test drives
Mon, Jul 20 2015Even as the year's sales charts show a decline, Buick says its brand image is improving. To bolster that soft metric while it works on overhauling its lineup - consumers are clamoring for more crossovers - the brand will begin offering overnight test drives as of July 23. Buick trialled the program in Phoenix and got a good response, so it rolls out as an ad-supported nationwide campaign called "24 Hours of Happiness" as of July 22. The push is on probation for three months while Buick evaluates it, but they expect it to continue beyond 90 days. Cars will be sourced from the loaner fleets that dealers offer customers whose cars are in for service, so only dealers with such fleets will be able to participate. General Motors did the same thing in 2003 and 2004, at the time saying it led to more than 500,000 "extended" test drives and close to 190,000 sales. That program had a cash component, in that buyers were offered $250 if they chose a non-GM vehicle after their test drive. 24 Hours of Happiness won't come with any inducements; Buick is taking the long view, positioning this as support for the brand instead of as bait for immediate returns. The Phoenix dealer who ran the program first said that it got fewer bites than he expected, but that customers who took a car home "were far more likely to buy the vehicle." Cue the Regal GS hooning in three, two... Related Video:
2013 Buick Encore

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.
