Buick Gran Sports were built in relatively small numbers. In 1973, just 6,637 were assembled, of which only 979 were 455 - powered cars, and of that, 728 were 455 Stage 1 optioned, while this one is in an even smaller production group with only 251 assembled . This car has the Buick Gran Sport "T" designation in the Vin # which makes it among that very rare 251 . That "T" added dual exhaust, 4 barrel carburetor and power front disc brakes. Power disc brakes didn't even really start to appear in production until the 1973 model year and was only produced in a few rare models.
It is important to note that the engines in these cars were Buick V-8's, and weren't utilized in any other A-body at the time. The 455 was the same 430-derived 455 that was available from 1968 to 1972.
The Buick cast-iron V-8's are known for longevity and reliability, and are also excellent starting canvases for performance modifications. Parts for these engines are very easy to find and can be obtained any afternoon at your local auto parts store, and better and performance parts are just a phone call away.
This Gran Sport has had a great pedigree with only 2 owners for the last 44 years. It started out it's life with an owner who cared for it like a new born. He knew it was going to be in the family for a long, .... long time because he had the car "Ziebarted" which at that time was a great way to protect your car for many years against rust and corrosion . Ziebart dealers would strategically inject their anti-rust products into the body of the car and warranty the car from rust and corrosion over the life of the car. I ask you to look over the photos carefully and realize that it is 100% original (other than once being repainted the original color), this car is in amazing shape for a 44 year old car. It was always kept immaculate and well cared for and it shows. Look at the photos (and in one of the last photos), along with the original window sticker and factory build sheet is a little book in which the owner wrote down the date and what work was performed on the vehicle. So the car comes with records, original window sticker, the factory build sheet, its original 1973 Buick sales booklet and 3 spare original chrome wheels. It runs like the day it was new, and other than a few small imperfections looks great.
Now normally this would be referred to as a rare barn find but in no way shape or form did this car ever see the inside of a barn, it more likely would be referred to as a rare original gem that has been pampered it's whole life with the intentions of being the collectible piece of history that it is . As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so look the photos over carefully and that will tell the whole story. It's not very often you come across a time capsule like this one.

* 455 CU. IN. Engine W/4BBL. Carburetor

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.

2018 Buick Regal TourX First Drive Review | Pop the champagne, it's another wagon!
Tue, Jan 30 2018As a newborn member of an endangered species, we should probably pop open the Dom to fete the arrival of the 2018 Buick Regal TourX. It's a wagon, after all, and if there's anything we automotive writers have been clamoring for is more wagons. "Forget those SUVs," we've implored. "This wagon over here is better! Just as much cargo space, better to drive! And have you seen it in brown?" Well, it seems like our collective proselytizing is starting to pay off, or perhaps far more likely, consumer tastes are shifting a bit to appreciate the wagon. Sure, they need to be lifted a bit and sport plastic fender flares to add a wee bit of SUV-ish flavor, but who the hell cares? Beggars, choosers, etc. It's a wagon, and we should be happy it's here. And we are, the Regal TourX is a pretty good one that thankfully offers more than just its mere existence. It especially delivers on the space front, which is refreshing since most of today's wagons are not as cargo friendly as the collective "we" would like to admit. An Audi Q5 regrettably does have more cargo space than an Audi A4 Allroad. Yet, the TourX has more than both – considerably more in fact, coming in at a certifiably huge 73.5 cubic feet of maximum space. The difference is palpable between it and the 53.5-cubic-foot Allroad, which Buick considers the TourX's closest competitor. As the below video (somewhat) demonstrates, I was able to cram 12 Patagonia duffle bags into the Allroad, filling up most of the cabin. The same amount in the TourX left tons of residual space, you could still see out the back and loading it all in didn't require a degree in Advanced Tetris. There's also a far more useful amount of space with the back seat raised (32.7 vs. 24.2). That area is especially lengthy, and with the large rear quarter windows and reasonably square roofline, it should be a good choice for dog owners. There's no built-in dog net behind the back seat as you'll find in the Allroad and BMW 3 Series wagon (you'd have to go the aftermarket route), but your four-legged buddy should at least appreciate the lower liftover/jump-aboard height. Which brings us to the next wagon benefit: the lower roof height. According to Buick's marketing folks, people who buy off-roadish wagons like the Regal TourX are far more likely to actually live the outdoorsy active lifestyles the owners of SUVs usually only envision for themselves.
