1987 Buick Turbo T-solid+rust Free Car-missing Short Block-grand National-cheap on 2040-cars
Kelso, Washington, United States
Nice and solid 1987 Buick Turbo T, rare and very fast car. VIN# 1G4GM1176HP432370 Garaged all of its life, it is completely rust free. Very well maintained throughout history with 165,155 original miles on the car. Painted bright red almost 20 years ago so there are some minor nicks and dings from rocks and parking lots, look closely at pictures for extent. Never wrecked or rust repaired, all original steel and glass…front to back. New seal kit for car included and in packages still, including roof seals(2), door seal(2), trunk Seal(1) GNX front undercar braces are included, just need to be bolted into existing stock holes. Nice professional Stereo system, Alpine HD Radio/CD player, center channel, all upgraded speakers and amps. Sherwood Alarm system with remote door locks and power trunk release. Replacement NOS Door sill plates, above door chrome, Perfect Steering wheel center cap/horn piece, etc. Spare Computer and chips to tune to your desire. Flowmaster exhaust with big downpipe, Weld Super Single wheels…etc Everything worked perfect including power trunk release, power steering, air, cruise, power windows, all electrics unmolested. Very low owner car, I have owned it for 11 years and know the history for the life of car. I had many nice weather cars when I lived here and this was my favorite one to drive. Great gas mileage and all the power you could EVER want in a street car. The trim package in this is very comfortable on long trips and a thrill to drive and hear the air pushed in as you are pushed into the seat!
The bad: I broke the crank under boost and snapped a cap. I had new caps installed and lined bored, then moved out of the country. The engine is no longer owned by me, but can be purchased after car is sold to buyer only for $1000.
NEEDS: Power Antennae, Short Block 3.8 V-6; The original ready to go block with new turbo pistons and crank installed is available separately from third party for $1000 only to buyer of car. I can arrange to pick up with the car. Headliner is out of car and needs the “soft” cover replaced onto the hard shell. All motor parts and accessories included and put in boxes when shop removed them. Tires are old and should be replaced, as it has been in storage for 8 years. Minor interior defects, minor paint defects (see Pics)
Thanks for looking….very low reserve. I am going back home and time to get this out of storage and back on the road....under another's control |

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Buick boss shuts down idea of importing Opel Adam
Wed, Mar 30 2016Anyone hoping for Buick to sell small city cars in America, you're not going to like this story. Buick boss Duncan Aldred has effectively ruled out importing the stylish Opel Adam city car for US drivers. Yep, this is us being bummed. Admittedly, the business case for Adam is not as strong as it used to be. Gas is cheap and consumers have fallen back in love with the idea of high-riding crossovers instead of efficient cars. That's why Buick sold twice as many teeny, tiny Encore CUVs in 2015 as it did its smallest car, the Verano. With that in mind, slotting in another car, let alone one below the Verano, isn't a great idea. Of course, Aldred didn't come out and say as much, even though he campaigned for a US-market Adam in the past. "I very much did feel when I came over that that could really help accelerate the Buick brand story," the executive told Automotive News at last week's New York Auto Show. "I don't see that as much. Whether the market shifted or the fashion nature of those cars has changed, I don't know. But I wouldn't be looking for a small, B-segment car today." That, friends, is a real bummer. Adding a car like the Adam, even in a small, captive-import capacity would add a real dose of fun to Buick showrooms and (we're guessing) would bring in younger foot traffic. Related Video:
