1987 Buick Regal Limited Turbo-T. 1 of 1035 made. Car is stock except for a Hooker cat-back exhaust. Astroroof, cruise, power windows and locks, Concert Sound II, trunk carpet kit. I've had this car for 10 years and only drive it once every couple of months to keep everything fresh. It would make a great daily driver, garage queen, or something to modify since it's been untouched it's whole life. Over the past year I replaced the speedometer cable, TCC solenoid, power window motors, battery, vacuum brake conversion, and upgraded the stereo. I put Sony speakers in the front doors and Pioneer 6x9's in the rear deck with the correct adapters. The JVC headunit has HD Radio and an AUX input for mp3 players. I have the stock headunit and Powermaster system still. The Powermaster can be shipped back to Kirban Performance for a $100 credit. I bought this car with the intentions of having something to cruise around in on Sundays once in a while and it's been great for that. Fast forward ten years and now I have kids that are getting older and a basement that needs to be finished.

Car is clean and drives well. All stock except for the exhaust. I replaced it because the original mufflers were starting to rattle inside. I rebuilt the rubber exhaust hangar at the "Y" connection and replaced the transmission mount with an HRpartsNstuff poly mount because the rubber had deteriorated. Exhaust has a nice low rumble at idle and no drone while driving. It does have the test pipe in place as the cat suffered a casualty during removal. Brakes are awesome since the Kirban conversion. I had ONE near-miss with the garage door when I still had the Powermaster. I walked inside to my computer and ordered the conversion 5 minutes later. I replaced the speedo cable at the same time because I was working right by it and the speedo used to bounce. I did the speakers and power window motors at the same time too. The stereo sounds sooo much better than stock. Nothing fancy, just better than crumbled speakers. The Regal does not smell like an ash tray because I'm a non-smoker and as far as I can tell the previous owner was not as well.

Full disclosure:
The Regal is very original and clean but as any older car it is not perfect. I will list any problems here:
Small dent in drivers door.
There is paint checking on the decklid. You do have to look close to see it but it is there.
The tops of the door panels and front seats is faded compared to the rest of the interior.
Rear main seal has a small leak, takes about a week to get a few drops on the ground.
A/C compressor is starting to get a little noisy. That just started this year. Still has R-12.
No cat. I don't have IM testing here, but if you need a cat they can be purchased from gbodyparts.com


I'm located about 45 minutes north of Salt Lake International airport so if you wanted to fly here and drive back I'd be willing to meet there, or if transporting I can deliver the car to a transporter in the Ogden or Salt Lake area.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

Chevy Bolt-based prototype may be a Buick EV for China

Thu, Jan 9 2020

Late last spring, we got a look at a GM prototype that was clearly based on the Chevy Bolt EV, but with updated styling. It seemed like it could be a more crossover-styled Bolt, given the recently trademarked name of EUV. Now we get another look at the prototype, but the bodywork seems less suggestive of a Chevy, and more of a Buick. This vehicle definitely still appears to be based on the Bolt, rather than on another small GM platform. In the photos of it next to the current model, the size, wheelbase and profile are extremely similar. There are differences, though. The nose isn't as sloped or as rounded, and the rear window kicks up a little earlier. The biggest changes are in the front and rear fascias, and it's here that we see hints of Buick. There are prominent air inlets on each side of the front bumper that give the car a more aggressive look. The headlights still have a fairly rounded, organic look, but with little extensions like fangs underneath. The styled running-light section, rounded shape and the smoked lenses seem very Buick-like. The grille features a large badge that doesn't fit the shape of a bow-tie, and is more that of a round logo like Buick's. Around at the back, the full-width taillights stand out, and in the middle there is obviously a round badge, again like a Buick. The wide taillights would also be a natural evolution of Buick's current light design language that uses somewhat wide and thin lights. The rear bumper has been redesigned with new lower taillights. Now that we've established that this seems very much like a Buick, we don't think we'll see this particular version offered here with the badge. This is more likely a Buick version of the Bolt for the Chinese market, where the brand is associated with luxury and has been the spearhead for GM's electric and hybrid models. In fact, the Chevy Volt hybrid was sold there as the Buick Velite 5, which was part of a family of a electrified Velite models. This would probably also carry a Velite badge as well. While we might not see this specific Buick variant, we probably will see it offered as a Chevy in some form. With its more aggressive, crossover shape, it could be the rumored EUV model. Or it could be just a refresh of the current Bolt, since the model has been largely unchanged since its introduction for the 2017 model year. And extrapolating from this prototype, we can see how the headlights could be tweaked to tie into those air scoops as on the Suburban and Silverado.

Question of the Day: Coolest factory-supercharged car?

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Last week, we discussed possible engine-swap recipients for the plentiful-in-every-junkyard Eaton-supercharged GM 3800 V6 engine. The Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs that came with that engine from the factory were reasonably cool, of course, but when you look at all the production cars that have been available with supercharging over the decades you can find some pretty amazing stuff. My personal favorite has to be the Paxton-blown Studebaker Larks of the early 1960s, partly because the Lark was just about the stodgiest-looking, sleepiest little sedan available in America, possibly the most ridiculous recipient of a howling force-fed V8 imaginable, and partly because of the name of the optional supercharged 289-cubic-inch V8 you could get in the Lark: Jet-Thrust! What do you say is the coolest factory-supercharged car of all time? Related Video: Auto News Buick Automotive History Performance Classics supercharger questions
