 HERE IS A BUICK WITH THE GROUND SHAKING 425 NAILHEAD DUAL QUAD MOTOR, TURBO 400 TRANS AND POSI REAR. DRIVELINE HAS BEEN REBUILT. MOTOR HAS VERY MILD CAM, AND TRANS (BS-65) REBUILT WITH SYNTHETIC FLUID. TRANSMISSION LEAVES A COUPLE OF DROPS HERE AND THERE AFTER SITTING. I BELIEVE IT IS FROM THE PAN.  IT IS NOT COMING FROM THE FRONT SEAL.   REAR WAS FINE AND LEFT UNTOUCHED.

RUNS LIKE A CHAMP.  HANDLES AND STOPS LIKE A 1965 BUICK.

BOTH CARBS WERE PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS

MOTOR SHOWS A CASTING # B1364704 WHICH MAKES IT A 63-66 425 BLOCK. THERE ARE NO #'S IN FRONT OF THE VALLEY PAN.  MOTOR DOES HAVE THE "L" OR DOG LEG ON THE REAR OF THE BLOCK WHICH IS TO INDICATE IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A 425

STORY ON THE MISSING #'S.......... WHEN WE PULLED THE MOTOR FOR A REBUILD, THE MACHINIST INDICATED TO ME THAT THERE WERE NO STAMPED NUMBERS ON THE FRONT EDGE OF THE MOTOR, WHERE THEY ARE NORMALLY FOUND.  WHEN THE MOTOR WAS DISMANTLED, IT APPEARED TO HAVE NEVER BEEN REBUILT, SO THE MISSING NUMBERS ARE A MYSTERY.  HE OFFERED TO MAKE IT A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR WITH HIS STAMP KIT, BUT I FIGURED THAT IF ALL IT TOOK TO MAKE A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR WAS A STAMP KIT,  I WOULD JUST LEAVE IT AS I FOUND IT. 

CAR IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS:
A/C,
P/S,
P/B,
P/W,
SPORT WOOD/STAINLESS STEERING WHEEL,
CRUISE CONTROL,
POWER TRUNK RELEASE,
POWER DRIVER SEAT,
POWER ANTENNA,
REMOTE DRIVERS MIRROR
TILT WHEEL,
REAR SEAT ARMREST,
OPTIONAL CHROME INTERIOR TRIM,
REAR SPEAKER,
TINTED GLASS,
RIBBED ROCKER PANEL COVERS

MANY OF THE OPTIONS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL, AS THE VACUUM LINES WERE NOT RECONNECTED WHEN THE MOTOR WAS REINSTALLED.  DRIVERS SEAT ONLY MOVES SLIGHTLY, BUT I NEVER WORRIED ABOUT IT AS IT IS COMFORTABLE FOR ME.

CLAMSHELLS WORK VIA A TOGGLE SWITCH AND ARE OPERATED BY A FORD BRONCO POWER WINDOW MOTOR ADAPTED TO FIT THE ORIGINAL LINKAGE. 
NOTE:  CLAMSHELLS HAVE QUIT WORKING ON THEIR OWN, AND NEED A LITTLE HELP OPENING AND CLOSING.  IT MAY BE LUBRICATION, OR A TIRED MOTOR.  MY SHOULDER HURTS, AND I CAN'T FIX IT.

THE A/C WORKED WHEN I GOT THE CAR , BUT NOW I GUESS IT HAS RUN OUT OF GAS.

INTERIOR IS PRESENTABLE....NOT NEAR PERFECT. 6 OUT OF 10

ITEMS NOT STOCK ARE THE RADIO W/AMP (YES, I CUT THE DASH) AND A 10 DISC CHANGER IN THE TRUNK THAT HAS STOPPED READING CD'S, PERTRONIX IGNITION, DUAL MASTER CYLINDER AND THREE POINT SEAT BELTS.

CAR HAS SOME RUST BUBBLES HERE AND THERE, BUT THEY REALLY HAVE NOT CHANGED MUCH IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. I TRIED NOT TO DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN, AND IT ALWAYS SLEPT INSIDE. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE THEM IN THE PICS, THERES A FEW AROUND EACH WHEEL WELL. UNDERSIDE WAS UNDERCOATED LONG AGO AND IS PRETTY CLEAN FOR ITS AGE. DON'T EXPECT A 100 POINT CAR AT THIS PRICE. THIS IS A REALLY COOL DRIVER, AND ITS NOT A TYPICAL CHEVY OR FORD (NO OFFENSE, I HAVE BOTH MYSELF)

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY OPTIONED GS I HAVE EVER SEEN.  CHECK OUT MECUM AUCTIONS, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THESE CARS CONSISTENTLY COMMAND $50,000 AND UP ON THE AUCTION BLOCK.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

Third 1987 Buick Regal GNX will be auctioned in January

Mon, Nov 13 2017

A 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.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
