Up for sale is my 1987 Buick Regal Turbo "T" WE4 with 24,670 original documented miles. For the record, if you are looking for a show car this is not the car for you. I am a very picky owner, and I will be 100% honest. I have nothing to hide, and if the car doesn't sell, well it doesn't sell. There are no funny stories here.. My kids or my wife aren't forcing me to sell it, I'm not under financial hardship, I don't need to sell it to finance another project, and I'm not oblivious to how rare this car is. The car comes with a number of receipts and documentation including maintenance records, repairs, and upgrades. I believe I am the 4th owner. I purchase the car just before winter of last year with 23,680 miles. I have documentation that this is former Dennis Kirban owned car (purchased by previous owner in 2000). I had looked for a long time for a low mileage turbo Regal before I purchased this car. I actually bought the car sight unseen after speaking with Dennis. Here are the list of modifications: Turbo TA49 with a polished compressor housing from Limit Engineering and HD actuator Mease Performance big-neck, stock appearing IC with customer aluminum shroud Big Mouth Cold Air Kit RJC powerplate Powdercoated stock plenum BOP angle boss IAC relocator Walbro 307 (hotwired) Accufab adjustable fuel pressure regulator 009 - 42.5lb injectors GNX 02 sensor Terry Houston SS downpipe mated to a Terry Houston Jersey Dump pipe ATR SS2.5" dual exhaust with two stainless steel ATR Pitbull mufflers Alumimum driveshaft by Dynotech Performance Engineering Aluminum brake drums Bilstein shocks Protorque 10.5" L/U converter 3,000 stall Dynotech Performance Shift Kit by (Eric Shertz) Spohn Rear Drag Bar Red Armstrong Plug Wires (AC Delco C443TS plugs) Custom embroidered hood insulator by IMM Auto Specialties (I don't have the stock insulator) Polished aluminum battery cover, radiator cover, and turbo shield. Buick Motorsports valve covers Gbodyparts Aluminum radiator with "Turbo 6" engraved cap Autometer Ultra-lite 35 psi boost gauge mounted on a custom hood bracket that mounts to the under-hood light Spectra Premium gas tank (replaced in 2000) but still looks brand new. I also have an extra set of straps that go with the car. Front and rear Kirban frame braces. The car comes with a couple of chips. (100 octane custom programmed chip by Jim Testa, a 100 Oct TurboTweak Chip, and a 93 octane Jim Testa chip - currently in car) At 24,000 miles I had the following work done: Valve cover gaskets, rear main seal, oil pan gasket (currently oil is Mobile 1 Synthetic) The accumulator ball was replaced due to a the original one failing (I still have the part if the new owner wants it). The Power Master switch has been changed out. I also had all new body mounts installed, and had the Eibach Pro Series Kit installed which dropped the rear 0.8" and the front 1". The front brakes have slotted rotors installed and may have 1500 miles on them. The key would occasionally stick in the ignition, so I had the shop that performed the above work, fix that too. When I purchased the car, the boost was set at 25psi which was more than I was comfortable with. The turbo is currently adjusted to a modest 12psi. I have documentation dating back to when the car was purchased new, and I believe I have all of the manuals that came with the car. There are two sets of rims and tires with this car. The 1st set is a stock set of wheels. These wheels are in perfect shape. There are no signs of clear coat peeling due to tire weights. The tires that are on the stock rims are Toyo Proxies TPT (Directional) P215/65 R15. They have >95% tread on them and about 4,000 miles total. They have not been mounted on the car since I purchased it. The stock center caps (which are in perfect shape) come with these wheels as well. The 2nd set of wheels are the GTA wheels. The rears are offset to resemble the GNX wheels. The tires on these rims are the BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2. The rear tires are 255/50 R16 and the front tires are 245/50 R16. The car fires right up and drives as you expect it to. Everything works on the car including the AC/Heat. The power antenna works too! The reason I say this isn't a show car, because it does have it's share of issues - remember I am very picky. The Exterior: Overall I would rate this car a 7 out of 10. There is absolutely no rust issues with this car. The previous owner never washed the car in the time that he had it. (I will give you his contact information if you would like to talk to him). The car has a number of car door size dings in it from years of storage - I counted five. The most noticeable dent is an impression on the hood (I attempted to take a picture of it) from someone trying to close the hood. The paint on the car is not original and there a number of places to prove it. At some point in the cars life the drivers side rear quarter and door had some damage and it was repaired and not very well. I can take a picture of the quarter panel from inside the trunk. There is evidence of a 3" scrape mark (crease), which makes me believe that the car may have been hit in a parking lot or side swiped a garage door. I was not concerned with the previous repair because I planned on stripping the car down and having it repainted anyway. The paint on the car is not cracked, chipped, or damaged it's just not a show quality paint job. It does clean up very well and has a deep shine to it. Over the winter the front drivers side bumper filler cracked. The bumper fillers are original and turn a milky white color within 24 hours of waxing them. They need to be replaced. Please note that the car retains all of the original RPO codes on the drivers door and the options sticker in the trunk. The floor pans are perfect, the trunk is perfect, the frame rails are perfect with no rust. The bottom of the door jams are clean (for a 30 year old car) with no rust. The usual problem areas for this car are clean. I do have a California Car cover that goes with the car too... The Interior: Overall I would rate it a 8.5 out of 10. The only issue with the interior is the headliner. Over the winter it also decided to start to sag. It too will need replaced. The seats are clean with no weathering or dry rotting to speak of. The carpet is not stained or have wear marks from excessive use - again it's a low mileage car, and the interior shows it. The radio is original and the cassette player works. The speakers are original and need to be replaced but still work fine. (Concert Sound option) The trunk has a finished kit installed and is original. There are a couple of spots that are worn (not sure from what) but it's the trunk. The Motor: The previous owner installed the 93 octane chip back into the car prior to me purchasing. The car could use a good tuning, but runs as expected with no service engine lights or funny sounds. The exhaust rattles occasionally, but I haven't really figured out why. It doesn't do it all the time usually when the car is in park-idling. Again, the car comes with a number of chips, but I have never used any of the others. I'm sure there is more, but I just can't think of anything else. Now for the legal stuff.... I would highly recommend that you come see and drive the car if you are a serious buyer (I will be present on all test drives). If you damage the car on the test drive - well you buy it. This car is being sold "as-is-where-is" and there is no warranty or guarantee. Please ask questions. If you bid on this car, you are entering a legal agreement to purchase the car, not a chance to come look at it. I have tried to be as fair and honest about the car as possible. It is a 30 year old car. If you have concerns about the car, come look at it. If you have less than 10 bids, please contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. I will not sell this car overseas, so don't even ask. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I will work with the shipping company of choice to make sure the car gets loaded properly. Payment methods accepted are cash or certified funds (NO PAYPAL). I have the title in hand, and the car will not be released until all funds have cleared. A $1,000 deposit is required within 24 hours of action end. You can contact me via my cell at (317) 750-2962 between 8AM-9PM. |

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series
Thu, Apr 9 2015Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
