Up for Bidding today is my Father's 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T or T-Type as some may call it. This is a Genuine 3 owner car that has not had the normal life most of these cars went through. It never was a street racer, weekend warrior, or some spoiled kids toy that got beat on a daily basis. I am a close friend with the second owner and was best friends with the third owner ( my 77 year old Father) who passed away on Veterans Day 2011 (11-11-11). Since he passed I have driven the car to a handful of car shows and cruise nights just to keep it exercised and to remember my father with my two sons. This car had one complete repaint about 14 years ago and still looks very nice. there are no scratches, scrapes or any other notable blemishes in the paint or body that I am aware of. All the black trim is still in nice shape and the bumpers still shine well with no dings or dents. Even the bumper fillers are still in excellent shape for their age, but that is what happens when the car is GARAGED from day it rolled off the dealers lot. Interior is all original as far as I know except the headliner and sun visors which we had professionally recovered 4 years ago. The drivers seat cushion on the r/h side has a small 1/8" defect in it ( barely noticeable ) and the t- top trim has 3 small cracks in the plastic on the ends, otherwise it is very nice. The carpet looks like it might have been replaced at one time because it is so clean but the original design heel pad is there so it might have an OEM GM piece used. The car is equipped with Concert Sound II and a power antenna that still works. I have replaced the rear speakers and the door speakers but the original dash ones still remain. Mechanically it retains its original drivetrain as far as I can see, no replacement parts tags or anything out of place, original g80 limited slip rear that works well. All factory braces and brackets appear to be in place. No exhaust leaks, engine is dry and transmission is also. It has a replacement catalytic converter on it and aftermarket stainless steel dual exhaust (very very nice). Has KYB gas adjust shocks at all 4 corners, Wheels are in nice shape, no bends or curbings but the clear is getting thin in some areas around the edges. Tires are not the stock sizes has bigs and littles on it for a neat stance, some may like it, some may not, but the tires are in excellent shape so why change them until they need to be. Has original spare tire in trunk with all hardware for the jack unused and accounted for. Everything in the car works as it should, all lights and accessories function as designed, no cracks in the lenses etc. Seatbelts are all present and function as designed. I think I thought of everything but I will probably add to the description over the course of the auction, any Questions ? Feel free to contact me thru Ebay and I will answer them asap, thanks Greg

2018 Buick Regal TourX starts right around $30,000
Wed, Jun 28 2017The all-new Buick Regal is coming, and it's ditching the sedan bodystyle in favor of two liftback variants. This week, CarsDirect reported pricing on the more interesting of the two, the Regal TourX. While we're waiting on an official confirmation from Buick, at $29,995 (presumably before destination), the lifted-wagon will significantly undercut competitors from BMW, Volvo, and Audi. With standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged inline-four, the Regal TourX has the potential to steal som sales from the Europeans. CarsDirect bases its report on the latest Buick order guides. All versions of the Regal TourX come with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four making 250 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic. Push-button start, active-noise cancellation, and 18-inch wheels are part of the package. The Regal TourX Preferred bumps the price to $33,575. For the extra few hundred dollars, you get an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver's seat, and door sill plates. There are also more colors available than on the base model. Further options include a $1,240 driver's assistance package with blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, and cross-traffic alert, and a $1,200 panoramic moonroof. A fully loaded, top-trim Regal TourX rings in at $38,860. Direct competitors are difficult to name. The pricing is above something like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, but far less than the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, or a BMW 3 Series wagon. It ought to offer more power and refinement than a Subaru Outback, but we'll have to wait to drive it before we can make a final call.

Two nearly new 1987 Buick Grand National 'twins' found in garage after 30 years
Fri, Apr 7 2017Back in the '80s, a Buick Grand National could leave a lot of vehicles in its dust. The final, 1987 version of the menacingly styled performance coupe produced 245 horsepower and 355 pound feet of torque, and it was never designed to sit still, let alone for 30 years. But two low-mile Grand Nationals did just that. At the time, it was widely known that nothing like the Grand National would be built again, as the Regal platform would be moving to front-wheel drive. So a lot of buyers stockpiled Grand Nationals and rarer GNX versions with the idea of making a buck on them when they gained value. Some people even bought several. That's what happened to these two cars, recently unearthed from their slumber. Thirty years of storage has turned them into barn finds instead of showroom beauties, and they haven't exactly been flawlessly preserved. A story reported on gm-efi.com shows the cars – the "Twins," as they're called – parked side to side, the way they were laid to rest decades ago, with thick dust on them. Two enthusiasts, Shawn Matthews and William Avila, originally contacted the owner, who had posted them for sale on Facebook with a staggering $200,000 asking price. After inspecting the cars and confirming they were legit, the prospective buyers managed to strike a deal for an undisclosed sum. The story does say the seller was a bit eccentric, demanding money in hand before the cars could be touched at all, but the cars were eventually acquired and transported to a shop for desperately needed refurbishing. Time has caused the headliners on both cars to droop, and it's obvious all gaskets and fluids will need to be addressed, but both cars have extremely low odometer readings: One has 807 miles on the clock, while the other hasn't even reached 600. The car with a more miles was moved "once in a while," so clearly the original owner couldn't resist giving it a go while the other one slept. We couldn't've, either.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
