1986 Buick Regal T-type 3.8l Sfi Turbo W/t-tops Burgundy/burgundy on 2040-cars
Clanton, Alabama, United States
Selling the T-type to make room in the shop - no time to drive it and she needs a new home. This car was maintained with Mobil 1 Synthetics and has a few minor upgrades that were done prior to my owning the car in the summer of 1988. This car has a watercooled turbo but I still idled the car for approx 60 seconds prior to shutoff. 3-inch exhaust with flowmaster mufflers. Solid intake tube, new gas tank, fuel pump, sending unit and fuel filter. Car is a good daily driver with minimal work - Here's what I know of that needs to be addressed on the car to get it show ready: -Needs to be painted - car has original factory paint that has weathered - -Top of dash is cracked (Vinyl and the plastic grill need to be repaired or replaced) -T-top gaskets, and window gaskets on the doors need to be replaced. -Needs (and comes with) bumper fillers, hood badges, OEM style floor mats. -Visors need to be re-covered -Carpet on back deck (speaker deck) needs to be replaced -AC isn't cold, but we had replaced the compressor with GM factory unit in 1992 before the car was garage stored around 1995 till sept of last year - definitely gonna need a recharge. -Need center-caps for original wheels -Hood blanket needs to be replaced to show the car -Rubber bumpers (black) that ran on mid-section from front to rear were removed a long time ago when one started to fall off - so you'd probably want to get those to get it to the factory look -Heater Core (comes with one, but hasn't been installed as of right now) Runs great - I always ran this car with Mobil 1 Synthetic, always cooled down the turbo - even after water injected turbo upgrade was added. New tires, new tank, fuel pump, sending unit, radiator. New heater core *(not installed yet). Serviced last month with Royal Purple trans fluid, differential fluid, and synthetic oil. Seats, carpet, doors, and console are in great shape. All chrome is in excellent shape Never wrecked - NO RUST, NO BODYWORK done except on front left fender had a grocery cart hit it and was repaired + parking lamp replaced 111,604 miles Let me know if you have specific questions.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
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.
Malaise Era Junkyard Gem: 1979 Buick Electra Limited
Wed, Jun 22 2016In the fall of 1973, the Arab members of OPEC shut off the oil taps, and Detroit got busy making many of their full-sized land yachts a lot smaller. By model year 1977, the downsized fifth-generation Buick Electra was ready to go ... just in time for the 1979 Iranian Revolution to squeeze the supply of the black stuff even further. You won't see many of the 1977-85 Electras these days, but I spotted this faded but solid '79 Limited sedan in a Denver self-service yard last week. General Motors must have bought up the entire world's supply of blue velour around this time, because you'll see this stuff in just about every car they made for the following decade or so. By this time, GM was doing a lot of mixing-and-matching with engines from its various divisions, which meant you could buy an Oldsmobile 88 with a Chevrolet 350 V8 engine, a Chevrolet Monza with a Buick 231 V6 engine, or— as in this case— a Buick Electra with an Oldsmobile 350 V8 engine. Do you want to know how many horses this engine delivered to this 3,631-pound car? 155 horsepower out of 5.7 liters of engine displacement. Times were tough during the Malaise Era.
