I have here a Very Rare 1978 Buick Regal with the 4 spd. option and Hurst shifter. You can see the last item at the bottom of the second column of options on the original Build-Sheet as being M20-Tran 4spd FS. Unfortunately the original 3.8 litre v-6 motor and 4spd. trans were not intact, so I did the next best thing. The car now has a freshly rebuilt 3.8 litre straight six backed by a 5 spd. w/overdrive manual trans. The trans is from a late 70's Chevy Monza and has the rallye racing shift pattern which is the same as a column shift pattern with 4th and 5th added to the right. The car is a 2-owner, and was driven by the first owner for about 10 years and then luckily stored indoors. There body was completely solid, taken down to bare metal and repainted in laquer with 3 coats of clear which were all hand-sanded and buffed. The car has many modifications: 16" Z-28 wheels, power front buckets and console (in place of the bench seat), gauges and tach., am/fm CD, p/windows, p/remote locks, tinted glass, Turbo Regal steering wheel, t-roofs, half padded Landau roof w/factory trim, etc. The motor is a 1964 Pontiac Lemans 194 cu. in. bore out to 230. The head is ported and polished with hardened seats and 3 angle valve job, oversized exhaust manifold dual exhaust and 2-bbl carb. Everything on the car is either new or rebuilt and I have a box of receipts to support this. The car runs and drives and handles very nicely, has good acceleration and good fuel economy too. I have seen other G-Bodies with a factory stick, but I have yet to find even one Buick with this option.

2025 Buick Enclave changes trim names and pricing

Sun, Jun 2 2024

Buick loves to fiddle with its trim names. In 2020, the Enclave offered Base, Essence, Premium and Avenir trims. Two years later, the trim steps went Preferred, Essence, Premium and Avenir. Two years later, in 2022, only Essence, Premium, and Avenir remained. And the 2025 Enclave has done another presto change-o, with Essense becoming Preferred, and Premium switching to Sport Touring. And while we knew that, what we didn't know were the prices for these reshuffled trims, which GM Authority sniffed out. MSRPs for the 2025 Enclave after the $1,395 destination charge, and their differences from 2024, are: Preferred: $46,395 ($1,100) Sport Touring: $48,795 (New trim) Avenir:  $59,395 ($500) These are all front-drivers, sending power to the rear wheels adds $2,000 to the price.  The Sport Touring costs $2,490 more than the entry-level Preferred, nearly 40% more than the current option price. Also, since it's a spiffier version of the Preferred, the Sport Touring is $3,800 less than the current middle trim, the 2024 Enclave Premium.     Mechanically, the Enclave gets the same turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder as the Acadia and Traverse as its sole engine option. Output comes to 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, sent through an eight-speed automatic. Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds,  All Enclaves except the Avenir get a standard 30-inch instrument and infotainment display, floating center console, adjustable ambient lighting, wireless device charging and a 12-speaker. The range-topper takes the sound system to 16 speakers, adds a panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation and massage function, rear seat heating, a head-up display, plus adaptive shocks working larger 22-inch wheels. The Sport Touring (ST), as one might expect, adopts black trim, including in the grille, and black 20-inch wheels.  Buick added standard ADAS perks like automatic emergency braking with intersection support, blind-spot monitoring with steering assist, plus lane-keep assist as standard. And Super Cruise will be an option. All told, it's a healthy improvement in features for relatively small price increases.

Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
