Under 2000 T Types made in 1986, and is essentially a Grand National as a different trim package.

This is a non-smoker hardtop car with 152000 kms (95000 miles) that includes power windows, power door locks, A/C, electronic touch climate control, and cruise control as factory options. Has a CD Player from a Le Sabre that keeps the stock look. It's a clean car inside and out, that's comfortable, handles great, and plenty of power from the turbocharged and intercooled V6 when you need it. Runs and drives great, and maintenance is all up to date with new fluids, new spark plugs, and new spark plug wires. Have receipts/records as well. It has brand new roof rail seals installed, and brand new outer door sills are included with the car (will probably install before pick-up). Center caps, spare shifter handle, and some other miscellaneous stuff is also included. *Seat cover on driver's seat in interior picture for protection.

There are some bolt-on modifications such as: Larger Precision turbo, 3" Downpipe to Hi-flow Cat to 3" exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers, T/A Performance Competition headers, 57lb Siemens Fuel Injectors, Walbro 340 fuel pump with hotwire kit, custom braided #6 fuel return line, aluminum gas tank, Precision Front Mount Intercooler, GSCA Valve Springs, 204/214 non-roller cam, 3000 Stall D6 lock-up converter with a manual switch, Deep transmission pan, line-lock brake kit, TurboTweak chip, Scanmaster 2.0, Bilstein Shocks, Eibach Springs, Founders Performance rear lower control arms, rad support brace, and Chassis bracing behind rear-seat. Stock engine block with ported stock heads, and stock 8.5" posi rear-end with T/A Performance Girdle.
Engine, transmission, and rear end are numbers matching to the car.
Engine was rebuilt in 2001, and transmission was rebuilt in 2004 according to previous owner.

Currently sitting at 16psi of boost on 94 Octane. Plenty fast, and also easy to drive. Could use better tires since I have cheap ones on there due to the other ones becoming too worn. Some oil likes to sit in the vacuum block
at times, and will burn off on start-up. NO OIL BURNING, OR SMOKE, OR THE LIKE DURING IDLE, CRUISING, TAKE-OFF, UNDER LOAD, OR UNDER BOOST.

I'm not shipping the car, PICK-UP ONLY in Calgary, Alberta. If paying with bank draft, you WILL have to come to the bank with me.
If there are any questions, just ask.

Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.

Don't buy that crossover! Buy a cladded wagon instead!

Fri, Nov 10 2017

If you're looking to buy a car soon, and you're like most Americans, there's a strong chance you're considering buying a crossover SUV. That's what people want nowadays. People like the tough, tall exterior that suggests adventure and preparedness, they like the high seating position, they like the all wheel drive many have and they like the practicality. Because of this, crossovers have rapidly supplanted typical cars such as sedans, wagons, and more as the most popular vehicles in the country. But they're compromised, too. They're often heavy, thirsty, and expensive compared with more conventional cars. The good news is, there's an alternative, a happy medium between the straight crossover and the traditional car. They're lifted wagons, and they're the best crossover SUVs around. And for those who may not know what we're talking about, we're talking about cars and wagons that have been given a suspension lift for more ground clearance and a higher ride height, and often have all wheel drive standard or optional. They also usually have chunky plastic body cladding to make them look tough and durable. Examples include the Subaru Crosstrek, Audi A4 Allroad, Buick Regal TourX, and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, among others. Because of the suspension and body modifications, these vehicles fit the trendy crossover mold quite well. And in the case of long-running nameplates such as the Subaru Outback and Volvo Cross Country models, they even have some heritage as outdoorsy machines. They also provide the higher driving position that crossover buyers love. And in some cases, such as with the Golf Alltrack, we've learned they offer better ride quality than their road-oriented siblings. View 9 Photos So these tall wagons offer the key things crossover buyers want, but what makes them better than traditional crossovers is that they have the advantages of the cars they're based on. For instance, the aforementioned Golf Alltrack still drives mostly like a Golf, which is to say, it's nimble, feels peppy, and is easy to maneuver because of its relatively small size. We can't really say the same for the Tiguan, which feels generally more sluggish and uninteresting than the Alltrack. And we mention Volkswagen's compact crossover because it starts at nearly the same price as the Alltrack. Some of the difference in giddy-up can be explained by weight. Normal crossovers can be fairly portly, while these lifted wagons are notably lighter.

Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?

Tue, 07 Aug 2012

We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
