This is a 1976 Buick Century Regal Replica Pace car with 40,257 original miles. It was purchased new and never driven much just sat in a garage with a cover over it which is included with the sale. It started life as a fully equipped Regal S/R including power steering and brakes, power windows and door locks, power bucket seats with recliners, tilt steering, air conditioning (converted to R134A and is ice cold), cruise control (works great), speed warning, AM/FM cassette (also works), I added a trunk mounted FM modulated CD changer and replaced the old factory speakers with new Polk Audio 6X9's in the back and 5X7 in the front. I also added a hidden amplifier under the rear package tray and the whole system sounds great. All power options are in excellent working order and the car is also equipped with Hurst Hatch T-Tops which are in perfect condition and don't leak or have any wind noise. There is a factory Hurst box in the trunk to hold the T-Tops when they are off the car so you can take them with you and all the original literature from Hurst. All the rubber seals and weatherstripping are in perfect condition with no cracking or leaking. The car also came factory equipped with the space saver inflatable spare and has the inflator bottle with it as well as factory equipped superlift air shocks which are in great shape and hold air well with no leaks. The car was repainted about three years ago in two stage base/clear original pewter grey metallic and all of the pace car decals were meticulously reproduced and are in perfect condition. The pictures show the car with the original Buick Rally wheels with Goodyear Eagle II tires and also with a set of 15X8 and 15X10 Cragar SS wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The car will come with the factory wheels but the Cragars will be extra if you want them as well. The engine starts, idles, and runs smooth and the transmission shifts cleanly and smoothly as well. There are NO fluid leaks at all under the car and No rust anywhere either as the car was never driven in cold or rainy weather. It runs, drives, stops, smells and feels like a brand new car still and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. There is a new exhaust system from the cat back with a flowmaster muffler that is still very quiet but has a nice low rumble to it. Other than that, everything is stock as equipped from the factory. I also have the original build sheet, dealers brochure, owners manual, specification sheet, 1976 Buick press release kit, copies of letters from Buick motor division to the dealer network introducing the pace car option, dealer order form, Buick public relations press photos and letters, original advertising, one ticket to the 1976 Indianapolis 500 60th annual race that was paced by the Buick equipped with a V6 for the first time and there is a pit and press pass and souvenir program also. Buick maintenance schedule, warranty information, consumer information booklet, Buick accessories catalog, exterior color chart, dealer price guide with leather folder, Buick product information booklets and several old magazines from 1976 featuring the Buick pace car. This is a really low mileage and unique car and you will be virtually guaranteed not to see another one driving down the street or at a car show. It gets a lot of looks and stares when I drive it and people are constantly asking me about it. I can help with shipping if you need a car carrier and also have additional pictures including the trunk and under side so just e-mail me if you would like them or have any questions.

2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
