 The 86 turbo regal I bought 15 years ago from a middle age couple who just drove it on the street till they had too many kids. It had 87k on it with 1 repaint. It was originally a white car and still is (black trim) white painted rear bumper, chrome front. Body is straight, no bondo and no rust holes, some bubbling starting in a couple of places down low just in the last 2 years. Couple of areas had paint chips that started some surface rust, and need repainted. See pics. I've never driven in on salt or snow, no winters at all. But we have wet ground 6 months out of the year, and it has sat out 1-2 winters on gravel. Needs front bumper fillers now, drivers seat has a spilt and needs headliner, analog dash. Couple minor bumps and a light crease in rt front fender. I think my son smacked the edge of the roof when he was an angry teen and put 2 smaller dents on the roofs edge. Inside trunk is perfect with perfect trunk mat, original spare and jack.  Bucket seat, console car loaded. Engine never been apart and has 135k on it now.

On Jan-23-13 at 02:28:41 PST, seller added the following information:

After several inquiries about possible hidden rust, let me add more details to calm your concerns. This car is a rust-free car with NO bondo anywhere. I've owned hundreds of Indiana cars and several of these. I know the weak spots. That's why I have an extra pair of rust-free doors and trunklid, NOT selling with the car (unless winning bidder wants them) I bought this car in 97 with 94k miles on it and it was rock solid then with NO rust anywhere and a perfect body and had been repainted a few years earlier (nice original white paint again) likely due to the clearcoat peeling as that was common on mid-80's cars. I've been thru EVERY inch of this car over all the years I've owned it and never saw 1 sign it was ever wrecked or had any bondo anywhere (thus the clearcoat theory) I'm a BIG car guy and know cars and paint and rusted car issues. I drove it on the street the first few years (weather permitting) but never in the winter so it has NOT seen snow, salt since I've owned it. I garaged it every winter (and many summers until 2 years ago. The body was perfect then and only developed a couple of bubbling spots over the past 2 years from sitting outside with a cover over it (not fastened to the ground so air could get under it) on gravel. Two spots of paint bubbling emerged last year the size of a quarter at the bottom of the left quarter, but you can access the back side of those areas from the wheelhouse and see there is no rust emerging from the backside. I've seen bubbling like this before from poor adhesion of the primer. The frame is rustfree and perfect. The trunk is also rustfree and perfect everwhere (looks practically new). The floorboards seem perfect but the passenger side front is getting weak from a leaky window or windshield and dampness under the carpet (never did see exactly where the trouble was. From 99 on it's just seen occasional track action. The doors are solid on the bottom edge where they normally rust out. The trunk lid is solid along the bottom inside edge where they rust out. Both are starting to get some rust stains emerging from the welds at the bottom inside seams and will only get worse if not garaged, thus the reason for selling. The car has a few dings and chips that have surface rust starting and needs garaged. My garage spaces are full of Mopars, 68 Camaro and 69 427 Vette  so SOMETHINGS gotta give. I can't bear the thought of my beloved Turbo Regal rusting away outside another day. That's the ONLY reason I'm selling it. I don't need money. I HATE Indiana weather. I value my Ebay reputation tremendously as I sell often on here and have sold several cars and MANY motorcycles by giving accurate, detailed descriptions but avoid giving opinions, thus the flawless feedback score of many years and many transactions.. You will find nicer things about this car than you expected and some things not at nice. I try to describe as much as possible in order of importance with the limited time and space here, but can't describe every inch. Use the "ask seller a question" if I missed something important to you. Hope that helps.


On Mar-11-13 at 03:13:10 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have decided to include the extra  R & L doors complete with glass and electric window motors and mirrors. They are rustfree and straight. Also included with sale is a rustfree trunklid with center section of the GN spoiler. Also included is a pair of rustfree front fenders, a perfect grill, a GN front bumper(lighttweight aluminum brace) a perfect hood insulator and some other misc parts.

Buick Cascada dies the death everyone expected

Sun, Feb 17 2019

Four months ago, the Grim Reaper came for the Opel Cascada. Groupe PSA, which bought Opel from General Motors in 2017, announced the two-door convertible would be phased out. On sale here since 2016 as the Buick Cascada, GM told us it had nothing to say about PSA's announcement. On Friday, the U.S. automaker spoke up, telling Automotive News the droptop "has reached the end of its originally-planned lifecycle and 2019 will be the last model year offered. Dealers have been notified and many will have stock through the rest of this year." Buick paid big money to advertise its first convertible since the 1991 Reatta. Buick threw money at Super Bowls ads and a gaggle of celebrities two years in a row. And when sales began in 2016, Buick enlisted The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Ellie Kemper for a series of television and online spots. U.S. dealers have been instructed to file final orders this month, and production will continue at the factory in Poland until this summer. Yet the fact we're in February and dealers are predicted to have stock for the next ten months says everything necessary about the state of play. The brand sold roughly 17,000 units in three years, and both 2017 and 2018 saw sales declines of more than 25 percent. Buick didn't expect huge sales from the import, though, and the Cascada earned conquest buyers. A spokesman said, "The Cascada has played its role in the portfolio perfectly, outselling many other premium convertibles while bringing in [6 of every 10] buyers from outside GM." Last we heard, the LaCrosse ceases production next month. Unless the situation changes before the end of the year, Buick will have only the Regal on its passenger car books come 2020. GM will only have two convertibles in its portfolio worldwide, the Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette. Related Video:

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries

Tue, Apr 24 2018

Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
