1987 Jet Black Buick Regal "Grand National" V-6 TURBO. This car was only made for 5 years (1982- 1987) and this vehicle was the last production year of this awesome car (ONLY 20,193 of these cars were made in 1987). It is equipped with a 3.8 SFI V-6 TURBO! This is the FASTEST production car that Buick ever made and it is THE FASTEST production car I have ever owned or driven. This car SCREAMS to be let loose on the road (it has beat a 2010 Corvette and a 2011 Rally SS Camaro without breaking a sweat!). Vehicle has detachable black smoke T-Tops with original storage covers in the trunk, original floor mats with the "GN" logo, original seats (driver's seat cloth has small tears from age and wear as well as minor ones on passenger seat). Full set of front and backseat seat replacement covers included with the purchase (they are BRAND NEW in the box and were purchased from "Highway Stars" who specializes in Grand National replacement parts, NOS parts and OEM parts and GN restorations. These cost me over $500 and they look as close as possible to the original seats. I have received verbal estimates of about $250 to have them installed by a local upholstery shop). "T" steering wheel. Custom, rare and limited original GNX speedometer/gauge/dashboard (gauges work along with the "knock" sensor gauge" (you cannot buy these and no one makes them anymore. This instrument panel is a ONE OF A KIND feature on this GN). Vehicle has power windows, power seats, power door locks, power trunk release, cruise, power disc brakes, am/fm/cd/mp3/satellite radio (I purchased an "original" radio that I have never installed and it is included with the vehicle.....I don't know if it works as I have never connected it yet), a/c & heat work, tilt steering wheel, rear window defroster, lighter, driver's remote passenger mirror (doesn't work as well as it should). Radio has a BOOMING amp/base speaker setup in trunk and sound output is PHENOMENAL (manual with radio included)! Has original 1987 Texas tag issued to the vehicle and sale includes pictures, magazine articles, DVD, manuals, owners manual (not original but those can be found on ebay regularly if you are wanting that), pictures, GN turbo logo value stems, GN turbo logo key chain, GN mini-car keychain, extra original parts, all paperwork of car since purchase, model car kit of GN, GN Watch, original window sticker, two (2) laminated window stickers, car show displays and three (3) trophies where the car won first place in its class. This car has won in EVERY car show it has ever been entered into but one! This car turns heads EVERYWHERE it goes and it is an automatic conversation starter when/wherever I drive it. Car garage kept and covered at all times. Only driven to/from car shows, car washing/gas and the occasional joyrides. This car purrrrs down the road and only premium fuels have been used. Oil fresh, tires look new and battery about one year old. Full size original spare tire in truck. Too many extras to list here, but this car is ready to show with all the extras. You WILL NOT be disappointed with this MONSTER of a classic car!

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
2017 Buick Encore freshens up for New York debut
Tue, Mar 22 2016Buick has rolled in to the New York Auto Show this year with a revised version of the Encore, bringing with it a series of revisions to what's billed as "America's most popular small SUV." Most obvious is the new front end that adopts the brand's latest design language with a fresh grille and headlamps – full LEDs on top-spec models. The taillights are also new, the exhaust tips are now chromed, the door mirrors color-keyed to the bodywork, and of course it all rides on a new set of wheels. The updates continue inside, where you'll find new trim, new gauges, and an eight-inch color touchscreen display to run the IntelliLink system that now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as OnStar 4G LTE with on-board wifi. Buyers will be able to choose between five trim levels and between front- or all-wheel drive. There are three new exterior paint choices as well. The Encore is based closely on the European-market Opel Mokka, which was similarly revealed in updated form at the Geneva Motor Show just last month. In Buick guise, the Encore has only been on the market now for three years, but already stands as the brand's top seller. Last year it alone accounted for nearly one in every three vehicles Buick sold, and has risen 34 percent so far this year as well. Subtle though they may be, these updates ought to keep the Encore at the top of its game for another few years to come.
