1987 Buick Regal Limited Turbo T on 2040-cars
Willard, Utah, United States
|
1987 Buick Regal Limited Turbo-T. 1 of 1035 made. Car is stock except
for a Hooker cat-back exhaust. Astroroof, cruise, power windows and
locks, Concert Sound II, trunk carpet kit. I've had this car for 10
years and only drive it once every couple of months to keep everything
fresh. It would make a great daily driver, garage queen, or something to
modify since it's been untouched it's whole life. Over the past year I
replaced the speedometer cable, TCC solenoid, power window motors, battery, vacuum brake
conversion, and upgraded the stereo. I put Sony speakers in the front
doors and Pioneer 6x9's in the rear deck with the correct adapters. The
JVC headunit has HD Radio and an AUX input for mp3 players. I have the
stock headunit and Powermaster system still. The Powermaster can be
shipped back to Kirban Performance for a $100 credit. I bought this car with the intentions of having something to cruise around in on Sundays once in a while and it's been great for that. Fast forward ten years and now I have kids that are getting older and a basement that needs to be finished.
Car is clean and drives well. All stock except for the exhaust. I replaced it because the original mufflers were starting to rattle inside. I rebuilt the rubber exhaust hangar at the "Y" connection and replaced the transmission mount with an HRpartsNstuff poly mount because the rubber had deteriorated. Exhaust has a nice low rumble at idle and no drone while driving. It does have the test pipe in place as the cat suffered a casualty during removal. Brakes are awesome since the Kirban conversion. I had ONE near-miss with the garage door when I still had the Powermaster. I walked inside to my computer and ordered the conversion 5 minutes later. I replaced the speedo cable at the same time because I was working right by it and the speedo used to bounce. I did the speakers and power window motors at the same time too. The stereo sounds sooo much better than stock. Nothing fancy, just better than crumbled speakers. The Regal does not smell like an ash tray because I'm a non-smoker and as far as I can tell the previous owner was not as well. Full disclosure: The Regal is very original and clean but as any older car it is not perfect. I will list any problems here: Small dent in drivers door. There is paint checking on the decklid. You do have to look close to see it but it is there. The tops of the door panels and front seats is faded compared to the rest of the interior. Rear main seal has a small leak, takes about a week to get a few drops on the ground. A/C compressor is starting to get a little noisy. That just started this year. Still has R-12. No cat. I don't have IM testing here, but if you need a cat they can be purchased from gbodyparts.com I'm located about 45 minutes north of Salt Lake International airport so if you wanted to fly here and drive back I'd be willing to meet there, or if transporting I can deliver the car to a transporter in the Ogden or Salt Lake area. Paypal or cash only. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of action ending. Full payment due 10 days after action ends, cash or Paypal transfer. |

Third 1987 Buick Regal GNX will be auctioned in January
Mon, Nov 13 2017A member of the 1987 Buick press fleet is hitting the auction block next year and it's a rarified gem: a low-mileage Regal Grand National GNX, serial No. 003 and one of just 547 models built for that year, and the last of the traditional body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive Grand Nationals. It'll be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in January. The GNX No. 003 was loaned out to publications including Autoweek, Motor Trend and Road & Track, where it racked up around 8,200 miles. "Through it all, a constant sad undertone was the understanding that 1987 was to be the final appearance of the traditional body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive G-body (which also underpinned the best-selling Chevy Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix and Olds Cutlass)," reads a the description published on Barrett-Jackson's website. "A totally redesigned W-body Somerset Regal, with front-wheel drive and unitized body construction, was slated to replace the popular midsize Buick in 1988." So Buick opted to make "a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals" with the '87 GNX, partnering with ASC/McLaren to equip them with wheel lip flares, fender vents, 16-by-8-inch BBS rims and more aggressive tires. It left untouched the Grand National's standard Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection 3.8-liter V6 but added a larger Garrett T-3 turbocharger with a ceramic impeller, a larger intercooler, more aggressive fuel, spark and waste gate tables, and a dual exhaust system that boosted output from 235 horsepower and 330 foot-pounds of torque to 276 hp and 360 lb-ft. That was enough, Barrett-Jackson reports, to make the performance coupe quicker and faster in quarter-mile tests than the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 930 Turbo. After making the test-drive rounds in the automotive media, the car sold in 1988 as a brass hat/company official car to Fischer Buick in Troy, Mich. with approximately 8,200 miles on it. From there, it quickly sold to a local resident who drove it very little, and sold it in the spring of 1989. Since 1992, it has reportedly been kept in climate-controlled storage, totally original, unmodified and undamaged, with just 10,790 miles on the odometer today. It recently underwent a complete mechanical service and cosmetic reconditioning. You can check out the listing on Barrett-Jackson here. The first '87 GNX ever produced resides in the General Motors Heritage Collection and No. 002 is at the Sloan Museum in Flint, Mich. Interestingly, another '87 GNX, No.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
