1986 Buick Regal T-type / Wh1 Turbo Regal on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Model: Regal
Drive Type: RWD
Year: 1986
Mileage: 88,900
Trim: T-Type
This is a factory WH1 hardtop car which come 3 tone, with blackout package and this one came with gray bucket seat interior. At the time of this writing, the car has approximately 88K miles, but I still drive this occasionally so the miles may increase a bit. Some highlights pertaining to the car and general descriptions of condition are outlined below:
Mechanical:
This car has been converted to E85 specifications for superior performance, reliability and exceptional idle quality. This conversion includes a “Turbo Tweak” chip, low impedance 57# injectors, Scanmaster, hotwire kit, Red's Double pumpers and a Red Armstrong volt booster. It also has a Hooker 2 1/2 ” exhaust. Modified ECM/ New Valve springs, ported throttlebody/intake. I replaced the stock Electric Fan with a high low unit from a 2006 LS1 Camaro. It also has a 160 degree thermostat and this car never runs above 180 degrees with ac on a hot summer day. It is still running the factory turbo and intercooler 19-24 lbs. boost. Adjustable FPR regulator, EGR Block off plate. This combination results in a very quick-spooling, streetable package that is loads of fun which also allows a solid foundation for future upgrades. I have not run this car in the 1/4 mile nor am I interested in doing so...my intended goal with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 300 mile road trip without worry. The drive train is in great condition and runs, shifts and drives great. The transmission is a fully built unit with hardened input shaft alto bands deep pan. Shifts are very firm and positive. As for the converter it is a re-stalled D5. This car also has g80 posi rear end with performance upper and lower control arms with an upgraded heavy duty sway bar for better handling. The rear end is also "girdled" with a TA cover and ARP fasteners.
Body:
I bought this car when it had just received an all black paintjob a few years ago. Paint looked good so i never worried about bringing it back to the 3 tone original paint scheme until it showed some wear. Since then the car has been always stored in a carport with a cover but thru the years has had various nicks, chips and regular street driven vehicle wear. I have some pictures of the car prior to paint which I can provide upon request. The chrome bumpers have no dings, rust or blemishes.The trunk and passenger compartment floors are clean.
Interior:
Aside from the addition of an in dash CD player, Scanmaster, pillar gauges afr/boost and console gauges which consist of oil and water temp gauges and custom floor mats as pictured, the interior is as it left GM in 1986. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet does show some staining in the typical areas. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 7 out of 10. The car has COLD AC and hot heat. The cruise control works great as well.
Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
Summary/Price:
Overall, this is a very, very nice, rare car that you could be proud to drive or show anywhere. I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal in the years I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am not faced with a “must sell” situation. General inquiries may be directed to me via text or call 786-487-9775 This car is located in Miami, FL I encourage interested buyers to come see and drive the car as I don’t want to deal with any sight unseen/buyer’s remorse issues following the sale. I hold clean/clear FL title and due to my personal circumstances outlined above, I am not interested in trades.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
2020 Buick Encore GX is a really attractive middle child
Tue, Nov 19 2019The 2020 Buick Encore GX is officially a thing in North America. The compact crossover slips into the space between the slightly smaller Encore and the larger Envision, adding extra room behind the rear seats to pack in a lot more than the Encore, and only a little less than in Envision. Beyond the additional room, every trim of the Encore GX comes with safety tech that — for the moment, at least — can only be had as an optional extra on the standard Encore, if it's available at all on the smaller model. The six included features are automatic emergency braking, following distance indicator, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, IntelliBeam headlamps with automatically-adjusting high/low beams, and lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning. IntelliBeam, for instance, isn't available on the Encore, and doesn't come standard on the Envision until maxing out at the AWD Premium II trim. What's more, the new bigger Encore brother puts a list of substantial safety features on the options sheet, such as Automatic Parking Assist with Braking, a heads-up display, camera-based adaptive cruise control, high-definition Surround Vision camera system, rear park assist, rear cross traffic alert, and a hands-free power liftgate with logo projection. Convenience touches in the cabin are found in wireless charging, Bluetooth pairing for two phones simultaneously, and Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Sirius XM with 360L compatibility. The 360L version of Sirius XM combines satellite services with streaming to provide more channels and access to live and on-demand shows. Buyers can luxe it up inside with optional perks like leather-appointed seats, a heated steering wheel, and an ionizing air filter. Buick says the Encore GX swallows 25.3 cubic feet of goods behind the second row. According to the dimension stats on the Buick site, that's 6.5 cubic feet more than the load space in an Encore and a measly 1.6 cubic feet less than the available volume in an Envision. The carmaker wants buyers to get the most flexibility out of the Encore GX area as well, serving up an adjustable load floor in every trim that can be raised to lie level with the folded rear seats and provide extra under-floor storage.
