Up for sale is a 1986 Buick Regal Turbo T-Type. One of only 2,384 T-Types produced in 1986. I imported this car from Canada about a month ago with plans of doing a full restoration and giving it to my dad as a present. However, plans have changed (we got him a 69' Skylark GS instead) and I have no space to keep it. The car has 64K original miles (odometer is in KM and reads 102K). I drove this car down from Toronto - 1700 miles in just two days, without a glitch. That should tell you quite a bit. The following are New in the last year
I have documentation for all of the above work, which was done by the previous owner and will be glad to share a file with the new owner. What the car might need:
Mechanically this car runs awesome (I dare say it is quicker than my GNX), probably a 9 or a 10. Cosmetically, I would rate it a 7. The paint is a bit tired and it has typical for the age chips, dings, touch ups, etc.. Car also has some nice factory options like the G80 posi. This is also a more desirable non T-Top car. The previous owner did quite a bit with the car in the last year. Best as I can tell at some point in its life the car has been repainted the original factory color and the transmission was rebuilt (with a shift kit) as it has very nice crisp shifts. Based on the import documentation I had to provide customs identifying all previous owners and transfer dates/mileages between them, I believe this car to have an original 64K miles. All in all, I would call this a basically stock plus a few bolt-ons (awesome running) daily driver in presentable shape. It could be a lot more in the right hands, but more than an excellent place to start as a lot of the bigger jobs have been done. I am taking a loss on this car because of the costs to bring it down to Texas (at the buy it now price offered), but with all my other projects, I simply need it gone now. It just past state inspection. All the import documentation was done correctly and I have a clear Texas title in hand. The car has a clean Carfax and is straight/accident free. Please don't ask me how much I would take for the car. This is a no reserve auction and there is a "buy it now" option too. If the "buy it now" is not taken, high bidder gets it, plain and simple. Auction terms: $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end time. Full payment due within 72 hours via cash, cashier's check or wire transfer. Car must be picked up by July 31st latest. If you do not agree to these auction terms, DO NOT BID. Also, if you have any questions, please ask them before you bid, not after you have won the auction and the car is already yours. Sorry for being so blunt, I just want to make sure there are no hiccups with the sale as I don't want to relist it. I would not to hesitate driving this car anywhere if you want to fly into Houston and drive it home (obviously I can say this haven driven it from Toronto!). Otherwise, shipping will be up to the buyer to arrange (location is zip code 77479). If you have any questions, please contact me via Ebay and provide your phone number. I will be glad to call you back, but do not wish to put my phone number in this listing. I will also be more than glad to show the car to you if you are local and want to see it before the auction ends. The car has been listed for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. I have tried to be as honest and transparent as I could (maybe to a fault). I am not a dealer, this is a private sale. All pictures were taken in the last few days at my home. Again, this is not a mint cream puff garage queen. If you want one of those, please look elsewhere. This is however a nice, tight, solid un-abused and mechanically sorted quick running car that would make a reliable daily driver and get you the occasional thumbs ups while cruising! Good luck! Here is a walk around video of the car, taken in Toronto before I picked it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R2orWyyYlbo |

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories
Sat, Feb 29 2020DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
Question of the Day: Best recipient for supercharged GM V6?
Wed, Apr 20 2016The good old Buick V6 engine was built from 1961 through 2008 (including a decade of production by Kaiser-Jeep) and went into way too many General Motors vehicles to list here. In 1991, the supercharged version of the 3800 was introduced, with a Roots-style Eaton blower on top, and now you can find these engines in just about every junkyard in North America. The 3800 shares a bellhousing pattern with the also-made-by-the-zillions GM 60° V6 engine, which means that it will install (with varying levels of sledgehammer clearancing and/or axle mix-and-matching) into plenty of GM vehicles that never received the 3800 from the factory. That means one thing: engine swaps! An excellent example of this is the 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV "Dustbuster" minivan, which is a fully caged high-performance road-racing machine that features a supercharged 3800 and 5-speed manual transmission under its long, vacuum-cleaner-snout-like hood. The RaceVan, in Springfield Monorail livery, will compete this weekend at the Michigan 24 Hours of LeMons race with Autobloggers Mike Austin, David Gluckman, and Alex Kierstein at the wheel. My personal choice for supercharged 3800 power, though, has to be the Cadillac Cimarron, preferably the not-so-sought-after Cimarron d'Oro Edition. Some bashing and welding and cutting and pasting and this lightweight Cavalier sibling could have well over double its original horsepower. So, what's your blown 3800 engine-swap choice?
