I am selling my 1986 Buick Regal T-Type  Black with Burgundy Interior with T-Tops A/C, P/W, P/Locks, Cruise, Tilt and 6 way Power drivers seat that is in Excellent Condition. I bought this car 9 years ago in decent shape with a blown motor. I spent a couple of years collecting new parts and restoring the car. For the purpose of this listing I will make evey effort to represent this car accurately.

The orignal block was junk so I purchase a block from a 86 Grand National. I then sent it to an engine builder that I knew with a great reputation. This is what was done:

The block was boiled and checked for cracks. It was then bored .30 over, decked and balanced and filled with Speed Pro Forged pistons and rods with new rings and pins.

The steel crank was magnafluxed, polished and balanced. New bearings were added.

A new Full Throttle 208 Buick cam, bearings and brass freeze out plugs were added.

I reused the orignal heads that were 1.77/1.50.  They were ported, polished and decked. New valves, guides, seals and springs were installed. Head studs were installed and cometic .60 gaskets were used to keep the compression at the stock level. High rev lifters from Kirban performance and Manley pushrods were installed with a high volume oil pump.

A 65mm thottle body and plenum with a RJC power plate topped the motor with 42 1/2 injectors with a new chip to match and a new injector harness

A new timing chain, flywheel and an adaptor for a larger oil filter were installed.

The turbo that was in the car is a Garrett. I had it completely rebuilt with a adjustable wastegate and was told that it was from a 1987 GNX.

The intercooler was stock and in good condition. I added a new shroud and scoop.

Ceramic coated hedders and cross over pipe with copper hedder gaskets were installed. A 3" down pipe leads to a low restriction cat and a set of Hooker mufflers.

The radiator was removed boiled out and a new electric fan motor installed.

The 200R4 transmission was rebuilt by Select Performance with a 9 1/2 inch 3000 stall converter.

The stock driveshaft was balanced and new universal joints were installed. A driveshaft loop was also installed.

The rear is a Buick 8 1/2". I replaced the gears with a new set of 3.42s. I also replaced both axles with new stock ones. All the bearings, seals and gaskets were also replaced

I installed a new gas tank and sending unit with a high proformance fuel pump from Kirban with a hot wire kit added to the pump. A adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a fuel pressure gauge was installed under the hood.

I had a rebuilt (can't find them new) powermaster unit  installed. I installed new front brakes, calipers, slotted rotors, brake hoses and bearings. New rear soft brakes, drums and all the hardware was replaced. The proportioning valve was also replaced.

I replaced the tires and wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/As 215/65/15s on 15x7 Weld Prostars in front and 275/60/15s on 15x8 Weld Pro Stars in rear.

The body was painted in 2008 and is in great condition with only a few nicks in it from driving it. The t-tops were completely rebuilt. I was able to find rebuilding kit with all new parts. All the weatherstripping was replaced on the t-tops, doors,door sills and trunk with new GM original pieces. The doors close like when they were new. I also had the D/S floorpan replaced with a new one as the t-tops were leaking on that side. They do not leak any more. The t-tops and the floor pan was coated with POR-15. I also replaced the headlight bezels and the emblems with new GM ones. The front air dams and both front and rear bumper fillers were also replaced. The windsheild was replaced and a new rear veiw mirror was attached.

The interior is burgundy cloth with a 45/55 split bench. The front drivers seat is 6 way power. The front seat bottoms was the only thing wrong with the seats. I had them removed and rebuilt with new foam and new material from a company in California who had bought up all the old GM material. The headliner was also replaced. The dashboard is in excellent condition. I replaced the power window motors with GM ones. The carpet was replaced and new carpeted floor mats with a T Type logo in front and turbo 6 emblem in back.

I added Auto Meter Ultra Lite gauges. The tach is 3 3/8 big and is mounted in the cigarette lighter. There are 2 5/8 Boost/vacuum, Oil pressure, Water temp and Volts gauges mounted above glove box. A Scanmaster 2 was also installed. I also installed a JVC am/fm/cd/ipod deck with new 6x9 speakers in rear an new 3 1/2 speakers in the dash. The radio is hooked up to a power antenna.

The car runs and drives great. I have never raced it on the track or street. I have gotten on it several times and was very happy with the proformance. I put about 3,500 miles on the car mostly driving it to car shows and weekend cruises.

The things that the car needs is the a/c needs to be charged, I charged it about 5-6 years ago and it worked fine but never used it since. The rear brakes sometimes lock up when cold. This in from the soft brake pads and new brake hardware. Every time I back it into the garage the new brake adjuster tightens up the brakes. I've had to loosen them up every couple of months. 

I have a folder full of receipts that will go with the car. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. The buyer will pay a non returnable 500.00 deposit via Paypal. The buyer is also responsible for shipping or picking the car up within 2 weeks. I know its a good amount of money but I perfer cash. If you want to pay by certified check you will have to wait until my bank has cleared it.

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.

Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.

GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits

Tue, Apr 25 2023

General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion.  GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday.  North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million.  The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
