 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

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.

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.

2016 Buick Cascada First Drive

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Florida became a state in 1845. It is the third most populous state in the United States, home to the most-visited theme park in the world. It is where you'll find every convertible ever sold in the United States, be it a pasty white Infiniti M30 or a Lamborghini. And soon, many examples of the 2016 Buick Cascada will call it home. Florida is full of Buicks. Wonder if anyone bought a Rendezvous Ultra? It's in Florida. The Buick Reatta, the company's last convertible before this? Also there. Buick, however, is eager to get those who better remember Bush vs. Gore than Nixon vs. Kennedy to ask, "That's a Buick?" Which is how we arrive at the Cascada. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. It's been on sale for about three years as the Opel Cascada in Europe, along with badge-engineered siblings sold by Vauxhall and Holden in other parts of the world. Buick took that time to make several hundred changes to the Cascada for US consumption and then found it without many rivals. The Chrysler 200 convertible, Volkswagen Eos, and Volvo C70 would all be prime targets for the Cascada here, were they not all dead now. Buick's gamble is that these Chrysler, VW, and Volvo (also Saab, for that matter) customers are looking for somewhere to go next. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. One thing is certain: the Cascada is eye-catching to Floridians. I had no fewer than six people in Miami and Key West walk up to me and ask what kind of car it was, or even say, "That's that new Buick convertible, right?" Despite being three years old, the Cascada's looks have aged pretty well. And it's been spared many of the tacked-on details, like fake portholes and chrome wheels, that were adhered to the Regal when it made its trip over from Opel-land. Top up or down, the Cascada is attractive. Unlike the Audi A3 or BMW 2 Series convertibles (the former being the Buick's prime target), there's no abruptness to the design, no sharply ending lines. The Buick looks relaxed in a Palm Beach or Palm Springs way, even on the inside with the convincingly stitched dash top and standard heated leather seats (one of the pieces redesigned for the Buick). That being said, the pattern on the seat material is a misstep, looking like it was inspired by Aunt Flora's 1972 patio furniture. Then it's surprising that you don't exactly sink into the Cascada. While the seats are mounted low, they're not pillow soft.

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.
