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!

Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
The Chinese experiment | 2017 Buick Envision First Drive
Fri, Sep 23 2016The 2017 Buick Envision is a very good five-passenger crossover. The "but" you should anticipate will come in good time. First it's worth understanding why it exists at all. Out of the ashes of GM's bankruptcy a few flowers blossomed and the carmaker is doing exceptionally well, certainly far better than Chrysler has done in the wake of its free fall into Chapter 11. But of all the surprises at GM's turnaround, Buick surely ranks highest, without question the least likely player to thrive if you only study the North American market. Look farther than our shores, to China, however, and you won't be shocked. Note that the Envision, which has been on sale in China for a year and a half, will reach about 200,000 units this year; the entire Buick portfolio in the US only totaled 223,000 cars in 2015. Not only is China Buick's primary market, but what it makes there, like the Envision, is intended for a different sort of buyer. Here, we'd call it a compact crossover. In China the Envision is a relatively large car, and the buyer there is far more likely to use it as a tall limo, or at the very least, as a big-time status statement. That buyer is also very likely to be in his or her mid-30s – the average Buick buyer in the US is getting younger, but, at 58, is hardly a millennial. Still, Americans who buy the Envision will benefit from all of this China focus. Huge effort went into its development since the target competitor in China is the Audi Q5, according to Rick Spina, Executive Chief Engineer for the Envision. Spina explained that Buick went to the trouble and expense of isolating the entire chassis from engine, suspension, and driveline vibration and sound penetration. "If you look at non-luxury models like Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, nothing's isolated, everything is hard-bolted to the body, and so all that vibration goes into the frame." Spina says that even though you'd guess the China-built Envision shares the general parts bin of the Chevy Cruze and Equinox, it's almost entirely unique. "It's kind of an orphan," he says, because GM couldn't afford to invest in the ride tuning Buick had to have to compete with Audi in China for a volume Chevy product, so nothing from Chevy (for now) is on this platform. And although it would have made sense to have Cadillac or GMC share it, Cadillac's XT5 and GMC's Acadia were already on a different development cycle. Besides, he's pretty proud that the Envision was developed strictly for Buick.
