See many pics at: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/24538457 1988 Buick LeSabre Estate Station Wagon with Indy 500 graphics added - inspired from the 1976 Buick Regal Pacecar. The graphics are all smooth, crisp, and sharp - they look very impressive! Dual outside Sport mirrors. White painted Buick Rally wheels. White-letter tires in excellent condition. I bought this wagon in 2004. It spent much of its life in Arizona, until I bought it. Its always been garaged and well-kept its whole life. Body is super clean, straight, never had any rust anywhere. White paint is original glossy and smooth. All chrome and bright trim is in excellent shiny condition - no cloudiness, no pitting. Vinyl bumper fillers are all in great condition - and original - as this car was always kept garaged. Interior was never smoked in.
Runs and drives beautifully. Idles smooth. No leaks underneath. Original 5.0 liter 307 V8 engine - uses no oil. Automatic transmission shifts properly and works perfectly. No leaks. Loaded with all the major options - like power windows, power seats, power door locks, cruise control. Problems are: the air conditioning isn't cold, the power antenna is stuck in the up position, sometimes there is a crackling sound in the original stereo, and some of the headliner is getting loose in the back cargo area. White-lettered tires are a matching set of 4 in excellent condition. Deep tread.
Fly in, or Amtrak, or Greyhound - and drive home. I'm in Milwaukee, WI 53227. |

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?

Buick GN and GNX will return
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
