THIS IS MY BABY, BUT I HAVE TO PASS HER ON. TIMES ARE HARD OR I WOULD NEVER SELL HER. SHE IS ALMOST SHOWROOM PERFECT- NOT RESTORED, BUT WELL KEPT. SHE HAS NEW ORIGINAL PAINT AND CARPET, INCLUDING THE TRUNK AND I SMOOTHED OFF THE FAKE PORTHOLES AND REAR PANEL, ADDING DEEP DISHED CHROME WHEELS. FOR THE PURISTS I JUST HEARD GASPING, IT GOES BACK TO STOCK EASILY! STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS AND PERFECT COVERS.
AT THE PORTLAND ALL BUICK SHOW A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THEY DEDUCTED FOR MY REPLACED CARPET AND RENEWED PAINT- ALMOST A PERFECT SCORE. IT RUNS OUT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS AND WE COMPLETED THE 400 MILE OREGON TOUR TWO YEARS AGO WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'D DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, INCLUDING TO YOUR PLACE FOR EXPENSES, IF YOU BUY IT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, IT JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES WHICH I WILL ATTEST TO. THERE ARE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SPARE PARTS, INCLUDING A REBUILDABLE SPARE MOTOR, REBUILT TRANS STILL IN BOX, SWITCHES, CHROME, BODY PARTS, LIGHTS, ETC. I SPENT OVER FOUR YEARS COLLECTING THESE INSURANCE PARTS- THE BEST OUT THERE.
THIS IS A REAL PIECE OF AMERICANA, A UNIQUE BIT OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY. THIS IS THE FIRST (ONLY?) STOCK BLOCK AMERICAN ENGINE TO QUALIFY AT INDY, AMERICA'S FIRST ALL ALUMINUM ENGINE, AND COMES TANTALIZINGLY CLOSE TO THAT OLD HIGHLY SOUGHT 'ONE HORSEPOWER PER CUBIC INCH' GOAL- THE '63 MODEL HAD 200 HP! THIS ONE IS 190. I THINK ONE OF THESE DAYS THESE RARE CARS WILL BE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF CHROME MUSCLE CARS, ON A SMALL SCALE. VERY DEPENDABLE AND A HEAD-TURNER, YOU'LL LOVE IT!

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats
Wed, 02 Apr 2014The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
