This auction is for a 1983 Pro Touring Buick Regal Project car. I started the car a few years ago and no longer have the time to finish is. The car does not currently run, it needs finishing. I have almost every part needed to finish the project and several extra parts. I bought the car several years ago, I built a custom stereo, custom interior and did a complete sound deadening job and also rewired the car front to back. I drove it like that for a couple of summers and then I decided to take the car to the next level. I bought a second frame for the car and went through the entire frame and boxed and reinforced every aspect (used both Lowrider and Drag Racer techniques) of the frame to make sure it would hold up to anything I did with the car. Once the frame was done it was powder coated to match the car. I also built a custom front and rear coil over system for the car and replaced every steering, suspension and bushing component in the car with all new fasteners, most of which are all custom ARP 12 point stainless. The brakes are all Baer

I bought a 2004 Escalade 6.0 Gen III motor and had it torn down and completely rebuilt with the Probe Industries kit punching it out to a 6.8 Liter Gen III with 620 hp roughly. The heads were redone top to bottom and I but in a Monster Transmission 4L65E with a billet servo, it's good to 1500hp. I also installed a brand new Ford 9" G-Body housing with an Eaton TruTrac diff and all new components with Strange Axles. I was originally going to use a FAST intake on the car (as seen in some of the pictures) but decided on using the new Holley Dual Throttle Body intake and throttle bodies. All of the intake system is still brand new in the boxes along with all of the Holley fuel system. The car is currently plumbed with all Fuelab components but have a complete Holley system if you wanted to replace it. Most of the engine fastners are also all custom 12 point ARP stainless and everything internal is ARP.

I have a dedicated website for the build of the project www.projectstressrelief.com where you can see pictures from every aspect of the build and you can also see the quality of the build and the quality of the parts used.

I have literally thousands of pictures for the car since the day I bought it.

This is a near complete list of all of the components in the car, I am sure there is things I have missed so please ask any questions.

The pictures of the car complete shows what it looks like when all assembled. The current state of the car is the pictures of it on the flat deck when I moved it from my house to a storage warehouse. The front end is mounted to a pallet (how I had it stored at my shop) along with the front and rear bumpers. The front end is in great shape, the bumpers might need a bit of touch up paint on them. The only real issue with the car as far as damage is the rear bumper fillers are very brittle (common on all G-body's) and have started breaking. I have replaced the fronts and had them painted but the rears need to be replaced.

What is left to finish is to put the top end of the motor on, wire up the motor and computer, plumb the coolant, oil and power steering hoses (have them all) along with the brake lines from the master cylinder to the prop valve (rest of the car is done) Put the front end back on, connect up the front wire to the firewall, install a battery and rad/cooling fan. Install the steering column and run a throttle cable through the fire wall (hole there). The car has a full blown Clifford 2-way alarm system but needs a head unit installed to run the stereo.

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016

Thu, Jul 24 2014

It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore. Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013. According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.). The other issue plaguing Buick's lineup is a lack of a midsize crossover. This is particularly damning for the brand as most of its showrooms are shared with GMC, which boasts its own midsizer in the form of the Terrain. With the upcoming Envision (see here for teasers), that problem should be addressed. Like the LaCrosse, the Envision will likely be a 2016 model. It will debut and launch in China early next year, while we can expect it to arrive stateside later next year, or even early in 2016. For American consumers, both a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the aforementioned 2.0T could see action in the Envision. Finally, while Buick can boast a pair of vehicles available with manual transmissions, it's still far from what we'd call a brand for fun driving experiences. Of course, one way of solving that problem is with a two-door convertible. Yes, it's extremely likely that the Euro-market Opel Cascada convertible will be sold in the US early in 2016. Whether it keeps the Cascada name is unclear (all in favor of Skylark, say "aye"). Regardless, adding a reasonably priced, relaxed, two-door droptop to the Buick range to fill the space left by the not-so-dearly departed Chrysler 200 Convertible seems like a no brainer.

2018 Buick Enclave: How engineers made it larger, lighter, more sophisticated

Wed, Apr 12 2017

Buick used the unveiling of the 2018 Enclave at the New York Auto Show to introduce its new range-topping Avenir sub-brand to the world. With fancier interior finishes and exterior details, it's Buick's latest effort to make itself a proper luxury brand (or perhaps re-establish itself as such). However, lost in the Avenir song and dance is the fact that the 2018 Buick Enclave is a (very) long-awaited all-new model regardless of the trim level one selects. Like the Chevrolet Traverse upon which it is based, the new Enclave is bigger than the vehicle it replaces but considerably lighter, by about 400 pounds. "We told every engineer, 'get your job done, but then take the weight out,'" said engineer Rick Spina as we hovered next to his larger yet lighter creation. His team therefore set about taking a little bit of weight out from just about everywhere, from using additional aluminum in the suspension to varying the thickness of the frame (thicker in places that needed to be stronger, thinner and therefore lighter in places that didn't). Only about 100 pounds came out of the body with the rest coming from elsewhere. Not only will the reduced weight improve fuel economy (Buick-estimated at 19 mpg combined with FWD versus 18 for the 2017 model) and presumably the old Enclave's rather ponderous handling, but it should only make things easier for the new powertrain: General Motors' now-familiar 3.6-liter V6 and its latest nine-speed automatic. With 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, Buick says the new engine will need 7.2 seconds to reach 60 mph with FWD or 7.5 seconds with AWD. That's a second quicker than before. Besides acceleration, towing is also bumped up by 500 pounds to 5,000. For those models with all-wheel drive, the Enclave has the same basic system featured on range-topping versions of the Buick LaCrosse. Besides power being sent front and rear, it can also differ from right to left in the back, although Spina is quick to point out that capability is for traction-enhancing purposes rather than sporty, handling-enhancing torque-vectoring ones. Buick owners already appreciated the Enclave for its quietness so the engineers decided to take it that much further. This included altering the exhaust, improving body sealing (there are triple door seals), including active sound deadening and utilizing advanced materials that absorb sound as opposed to simply being thick, dense and heavy enough to keep it out.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?
