1987 Buick Regal T-Type with 455 Engine
Questions: wahlehw at att dot net
DESCRIPTION: This Regal is a real T-Type that came with a non-turbo 3.8 V6. I bought it used with 36,000-miles. A rebuilt 455 Stage 1 Buick engine was swapped in at 52,100 miles. Current mileage is 138,100 with 86,000 miles on the engine. This is a non-smoker vehicle.
Engine: 455 Stage 1 Buick engine with 9.5 to 1 compression ratio (462 cu-in).
Drive Train: Grand National drive train: torque converter, TH200-4R trans, driveshaft and 3.42 posi-differential.
Induction System: Holley ProJection throttle body on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. The 900 cfm throttle body contains four 85-lb/hr injectors. MegaSquirt digital fuel controller and K&N air filter. The MegaSquirt digital fuel controller is programmed with a laptop computer via a free graphical interface. This system requires some knowledge of digital fuel injection systems. The MegaSquirt web site contains a great deal of free information on all aspects of their controller and digital fuel control.
Exhaust: Magnaflow 2-1/2" stainless steel X-crossover dual exhaust system with stainless steel straight-through mufflers and head pipes. Stock lightly ported exhaust manifolds
Suspension: Regal diesel front springs, KYB gas shocks, GN front and rear sway bars
Ignition: HEI electronic ignition
Brakes: Complete new brake system in 2012 including master cylinder, vacuum power booster, proportioning valve, all steel brake lines, front rotors and calipers, rear wheel cylinders, and flexible brake hoses
Fuel System: External electric fuel pump mounted on side rail. All fuel lines replaced with rubber hose or braided stainless steel hose
Cooling System: 4-core radiator with clutch fan. New water pump in 2013
Wheels: T-Type aluminum rims with Firestone black-wall radial tires (P235/60-R15) with about 20,000-miles
Interior: Very clean gray interior with front bucket seats and center console
Power Accessories: Power windows & power driver’s seat
CONDITION: The car starts and runs well. Engine oil and filter changed at 3-4000-mile intervals. All mechanical parts were on a regular maintenance schedule. The digital fuel controller replaced an unreliable Holley analog fuel controller. The digital system has been driver for 23,000-miles over 7-years and has been very reliable. An oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold is the primary sensor that controls air-fuel ratio. All sensors can be viewed on a laptop computer including air-fuel ratio, air and water temps, RPM, throttle position, injector pulse width, manifold air pressure, plus many more operating parameters. The interior is still very nice and clean for 138,100 miles. The chrome bumpers are in good condition. The aluminum T-Type rims have a gray oxidized coating.
KNOWNN MAJOR DEFECTS: Rust is the primary reason I’m selling this car that has been driven year-round. Salty Ohio winters have taken their toll on the undercarriage and body panels. All undercarriage fuel and brake tubing was replaced. Door panels have rusted and separated on their lower edge. Rust spots show on body panels. The brake pedal is too low in spite of installing a complete new brake system. Maybe the new owner will figure out why the pedal is low. In hot weather, the engine has a tendency to overheat in stop-and-go traffic. Engine runs well but leaks oil around the front cover/seal. Air conditioning currently operating but weak- needs some Freon.
SHIPPING: The car can be picked-up in Canal Fulton, Ohio but arrangements can be made to pick it up in the vicinity of Canton, Ohio.
RETURNS: The car is used and sold "as-is" without a warranty.
PAYMENT: Cash or cashier’s check. I accept PayPal for a down payment.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
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.
