Pro Touring Project Vehicle - 1983 Buick Regal 6.8 Gen Iii Motor / 4l65e / Baer on 2040-cars
Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada
This auction is for a 1983 Pro Touring Buick Regal Project car. I started the car a few years ago and no longer have the time to finish is. The car does not currently run, it needs finishing. I have almost every part needed to finish the project and several extra parts. I bought the car several years ago, I built a custom stereo, custom interior and did a complete sound deadening job and also rewired the car front to back. I drove it like that for a couple of summers and then I decided to take the car to the next level. I bought a second frame for the car and went through the entire frame and boxed and reinforced every aspect (used both Lowrider and Drag Racer techniques) of the frame to make sure it would hold up to anything I did with the car. Once the frame was done it was powder coated to match the car. I also built a custom front and rear coil over system for the car and replaced every steering, suspension and bushing component in the car with all new fasteners, most of which are all custom ARP 12 point stainless. The brakes are all Baer
I bought a 2004 Escalade 6.0 Gen III motor and had it torn down and completely rebuilt with the Probe Industries kit punching it out to a 6.8 Liter Gen III with 620 hp roughly. The heads were redone top to bottom and I but in a Monster Transmission 4L65E with a billet servo, it's good to 1500hp. I also installed a brand new Ford 9" G-Body housing with an Eaton TruTrac diff and all new components with Strange Axles. I was originally going to use a FAST intake on the car (as seen in some of the pictures) but decided on using the new Holley Dual Throttle Body intake and throttle bodies. All of the intake system is still brand new in the boxes along with all of the Holley fuel system. The car is currently plumbed with all Fuelab components but have a complete Holley system if you wanted to replace it. Most of the engine fastners are also all custom 12 point ARP stainless and everything internal is ARP. I have a dedicated website for the build of the project www.projectstressrelief.com where you can see pictures from every aspect of the build and you can also see the quality of the build and the quality of the parts used. I have literally thousands of pictures for the car since the day I bought it. This is a near complete list of all of the components in the car, I am sure there is things I have missed so please ask any questions.

The current state of the car is the pictures of it on the flat deck when I moved it from my house to a storage warehouse. The front end is mounted to a pallet (how I had it stored at my shop) along with the front and rear bumpers. The front end is in great shape, the bumpers might need a bit of touch up paint on them. The only real issue with the car as far as damage is the rear bumper fillers are very brittle (common on all G-body's) and have started breaking. I have replaced the fronts and had them painted but the rears need to be replaced. What is left to finish is to put the top end of the motor on, wire up the motor and computer, plumb the coolant, oil and power steering hoses (have them all) along with the brake lines from the master cylinder to the prop valve (rest of the car is done) Put the front end back on, connect up the front wire to the firewall, install a battery and rad/cooling fan. Install the steering column and run a throttle cable through the fire wall (hole there). The car has a full blown Clifford 2-way alarm system but needs a head unit installed to run the stereo. |

Next Opel Insignia to adopt sleeker looks
Fri, Aug 21 2015The very first set of spy photos of the next-generation Opel Insignia have dropped, giving us a look at the more svelte, aggressive, and stylish look of the popular sedan. As a reminder, the Insignia is sold here in the United States as the Buick Regal. There's only so much we can discern from these photos, thanks to the very heavy camouflage. But we can get a look at the new Audi A7-like roofline, which our spies citing similarities to the Opel Monza concept car from the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Monza link fits with our previous reports, which claimed the gullwinged wagon would serve as a prime source of inspiration for both the Insignia and US-market Regal. Aside from the significantly redesigned sheetmetal, Opel is also increasing the size of its flagship sedan, adding nearly four inches between the axles. According to our spies, the goal is to build a vehicle comparable in size to the Skoda Superb, a roughly Volkswagen Passat-sized sedan based on the VW Group's MQB platform. What's most interesting for US customers, though, is the body style shown here. Like the aforementioned A7, the next Insignia will be offered as a five-door model, rather than a traditional sedan. The five-door hatch would later be joined by a traditional wagon. It's unclear whether the US market Buick will take a similar route, or whether General Motors will demand a four-door variant exclusive to North America. Check out the spy photos above, and keep an eye open for more on the next Insignia/Regal. Don't plan on seeing it at an auto show any time soon, though. It's not slated to debut until the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
