1987 Buick Regal with 'T' package (Option code Y56), Exterior Sport Package (W02), and rare T-Tops with V8 307 Engine

I had this beautiful 87 listed last week and found out that there was an odometer error.  I had bought this car last year and was told that it had 75K miles but when I checked the free car history on Ebay last week, I was astonished that the car has an extra 100K miles.  To be honest, you would never know this car has mileage above 100K; it truely rides and handles like a low mileage car.   My Virginia title states 75K.   Has current Virginia inspection and is currently registered.  

 What I found out from the previous owner is the following new items for restoration in early 2009 (only 8K miles ago): 

* New professional paint with two stage clear coat painted at a Chevrolet dealer

* New Weatherstripping

* New Converter

* New Front Brakes

* New Shocks

* New Radiator

* New Belts

* New  Carpet

* New Headliner

* Rebuilt Transmission with Shift kit

* New turn signal lever

* New Shift Cable

* New Hood Release cable

New items in 2010 totalling $1,644 w/reciept:

* New Water pump

* New Thermostate and seal

* Upper and lower hoses

* New By pass  and heater hoses

* New Master switch

New items in 2012 totalling $354 w/receipt:

* Evacuate and recharge AC system for R134 freon

* New Transmission Mount

* Replace new rear brake line

 

Why am I selling this beauty?  I just got laid off and I need to sell it to pay bills...  ;-(

Body:  All panels are rust free.  Needs touch-up on front drivers side filler panel.  Also, has a few dings on hood. 

Chrome: Nice front bumper but the top of the rear bumper has wear; see picture.

Paint: Was painted the original blue metallic at a Chevy dealer in 2009 and still shows very nice but with several chips and blemishes

Tires: Lots of tread (see pics) **has extra full size tire and aluminum rim spare in trunk**

Transmission:  Was told by the previous owner that the owner before him was a mechanic and he rebuilt the transmission with a shift kit in 2009.  

Motor:  V8 307 Engine runs perfect with no leaks (was told motor was rebuilt from a previous owner) and does not blow any smoke.  

Exhaust:  Has custom duel exhaust and SOUNDS GREAT...has a nice rumble sound

Interior: Nice interior with no rips or tears.  Dash has a little warping and top edge has slight cracks.  Right Power Window goes up very slow

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.

The new Buick Regal looks like a Mazda, and we're totally cool with that

Mon, Dec 5 2016

Yes, this undisguised Opel Insignia, which will be brought here as the next Buick Regal, looks a lot like a Mazda. You can see it in the grille and headlights, especially – in fact, if you look at one of the photos with tape blocking out the badge in the middle of the winged grille, you might think this is a new Mazda6. The thing is, Mazdas look pretty darn good, so no one's complaining. And when you look at the rest of the car, there's a fair amount of originality going on. Aside from the GM-generic taillights (they look like they could fit on a Chevy, right?) the lines and details are all pretty fresh, and there are some design elements pulled from Buick's gorgeous Avista concept. A sweeping roofline leads to some healthy shoulders at the back, creating a coupe-ish profile with a very abbreviated rear deck. This appears to be a hatchback model and not the four-door sedan, but the general look should carry over. This is definitely a big improvement over the somewhat bulbous current-generation Regal, which also started life out as an Insignia. The car shown here is the Insignia OPC model, with Brembo brakes, big wheels, side skirts, and a front end with big (likely fake) intakes. It will most likely translate to a Regal GS for our market, as is the case with the current OPC and GS. The new Regal/Insignia is expected to use the same platform as the new Buick LaCrosse, which is also shared by the Chevy Malibu and Impala. They should once again be available with front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Rumor has the Opel versions debuting at the Geneva show March, and the Buick would likely follow, possibly in New York in April. View 13 Photos And then there's the wagon. All signs point to Buick finally bringing the most practical Insignia to our market as a Regal. We got wind of a focus group testing the idea, Buick has trademarked the name Regal Tour X. That version would likely go up against the Audi Allroad in the classy, slightly lifted all-wheel-drive wagon category, basically acting as an almost-crossover for people who want a wagon but won't admit it to themselves. The Insignia wagon caught here is also an OPC, and we think it looks even more handsome than the hatch-sedan shown above. The trim piece stretching from the base of the A-pillar all the way up and back down to the tail is a nice touch in profile view, although we're not so sure about how it terminates abruptly at the taillight.
