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 make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Buick Cascada dies the death everyone expected
Sun, Feb 17 2019Four months ago, the Grim Reaper came for the Opel Cascada. Groupe PSA, which bought Opel from General Motors in 2017, announced the two-door convertible would be phased out. On sale here since 2016 as the Buick Cascada, GM told us it had nothing to say about PSA's announcement. On Friday, the U.S. automaker spoke up, telling Automotive News the droptop "has reached the end of its originally-planned lifecycle and 2019 will be the last model year offered. Dealers have been notified and many will have stock through the rest of this year." Buick paid big money to advertise its first convertible since the 1991 Reatta. Buick threw money at Super Bowls ads and a gaggle of celebrities two years in a row. And when sales began in 2016, Buick enlisted The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Ellie Kemper for a series of television and online spots. U.S. dealers have been instructed to file final orders this month, and production will continue at the factory in Poland until this summer. Yet the fact we're in February and dealers are predicted to have stock for the next ten months says everything necessary about the state of play. The brand sold roughly 17,000 units in three years, and both 2017 and 2018 saw sales declines of more than 25 percent. Buick didn't expect huge sales from the import, though, and the Cascada earned conquest buyers. A spokesman said, "The Cascada has played its role in the portfolio perfectly, outselling many other premium convertibles while bringing in [6 of every 10] buyers from outside GM." Last we heard, the LaCrosse ceases production next month. Unless the situation changes before the end of the year, Buick will have only the Regal on its passenger car books come 2020. GM will only have two convertibles in its portfolio worldwide, the Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette. Related Video:
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.
