1986 Buick Regal T-type / Wh1 Turbo Regal on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Model: Regal
Drive Type: RWD
Year: 1986
Mileage: 88,900
Trim: T-Type
This is a factory WH1 hardtop car which come 3 tone, with blackout package and this one came with gray bucket seat interior. At the time of this writing, the car has approximately 88K miles, but I still drive this occasionally so the miles may increase a bit. Some highlights pertaining to the car and general descriptions of condition are outlined below:
Mechanical:
This car has been converted to E85 specifications for superior performance, reliability and exceptional idle quality. This conversion includes a “Turbo Tweak” chip, low impedance 57# injectors, Scanmaster, hotwire kit, Red's Double pumpers and a Red Armstrong volt booster. It also has a Hooker 2 1/2 ” exhaust. Modified ECM/ New Valve springs, ported throttlebody/intake. I replaced the stock Electric Fan with a high low unit from a 2006 LS1 Camaro. It also has a 160 degree thermostat and this car never runs above 180 degrees with ac on a hot summer day. It is still running the factory turbo and intercooler 19-24 lbs. boost. Adjustable FPR regulator, EGR Block off plate. This combination results in a very quick-spooling, streetable package that is loads of fun which also allows a solid foundation for future upgrades. I have not run this car in the 1/4 mile nor am I interested in doing so...my intended goal with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 300 mile road trip without worry. The drive train is in great condition and runs, shifts and drives great. The transmission is a fully built unit with hardened input shaft alto bands deep pan. Shifts are very firm and positive. As for the converter it is a re-stalled D5. This car also has g80 posi rear end with performance upper and lower control arms with an upgraded heavy duty sway bar for better handling. The rear end is also "girdled" with a TA cover and ARP fasteners.
Body:
I bought this car when it had just received an all black paintjob a few years ago. Paint looked good so i never worried about bringing it back to the 3 tone original paint scheme until it showed some wear. Since then the car has been always stored in a carport with a cover but thru the years has had various nicks, chips and regular street driven vehicle wear. I have some pictures of the car prior to paint which I can provide upon request. The chrome bumpers have no dings, rust or blemishes.The trunk and passenger compartment floors are clean.
Interior:
Aside from the addition of an in dash CD player, Scanmaster, pillar gauges afr/boost and console gauges which consist of oil and water temp gauges and custom floor mats as pictured, the interior is as it left GM in 1986. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet does show some staining in the typical areas. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 7 out of 10. The car has COLD AC and hot heat. The cruise control works great as well.
Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
Summary/Price:
Overall, this is a very, very nice, rare car that you could be proud to drive or show anywhere. I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal in the years I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am not faced with a “must sell” situation. General inquiries may be directed to me via text or call 786-487-9775 This car is located in Miami, FL I encourage interested buyers to come see and drive the car as I don’t want to deal with any sight unseen/buyer’s remorse issues following the sale. I hold clean/clear FL title and due to my personal circumstances outlined above, I am not interested in trades.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]
Sun, Jan 25 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
