1987 Buick Regal Turbo "t" on 2040-cars
Westfield, Indiana, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1987 Buick Regal Turbo "T" WE4 with 24,670 original documented miles. For the record, if you are looking for a show car this is not the car for you. I am a very picky owner, and I will be 100% honest. I have nothing to hide, and if the car doesn't sell, well it doesn't sell. There are no funny stories here.. My kids or my wife aren't forcing me to sell it, I'm not under financial hardship, I don't need to sell it to finance another project, and I'm not oblivious to how rare this car is. The car comes with a number of receipts and documentation including maintenance records, repairs, and upgrades. I believe I am the 4th owner. I purchase the car just before winter of last year with 23,680 miles. I have documentation that this is former Dennis Kirban owned car (purchased by previous owner in 2000). I had looked for a long time for a low mileage turbo Regal before I purchased this car. I actually bought the car sight unseen after speaking with Dennis. Here are the list of modifications: Turbo TA49 with a polished compressor housing from Limit Engineering and HD actuator Mease Performance big-neck, stock appearing IC with customer aluminum shroud Big Mouth Cold Air Kit RJC powerplate Powdercoated stock plenum BOP angle boss IAC relocator Walbro 307 (hotwired) Accufab adjustable fuel pressure regulator 009 - 42.5lb injectors GNX 02 sensor Terry Houston SS downpipe mated to a Terry Houston Jersey Dump pipe ATR SS2.5" dual exhaust with two stainless steel ATR Pitbull mufflers Alumimum driveshaft by Dynotech Performance Engineering Aluminum brake drums Bilstein shocks Protorque 10.5" L/U converter 3,000 stall Dynotech Performance Shift Kit by (Eric Shertz) Spohn Rear Drag Bar Red Armstrong Plug Wires (AC Delco C443TS plugs) Custom embroidered hood insulator by IMM Auto Specialties (I don't have the stock insulator) Polished aluminum battery cover, radiator cover, and turbo shield. Buick Motorsports valve covers Gbodyparts Aluminum radiator with "Turbo 6" engraved cap Autometer Ultra-lite 35 psi boost gauge mounted on a custom hood bracket that mounts to the under-hood light Spectra Premium gas tank (replaced in 2000) but still looks brand new. I also have an extra set of straps that go with the car. Front and rear Kirban frame braces. The car comes with a couple of chips. (100 octane custom programmed chip by Jim Testa, a 100 Oct TurboTweak Chip, and a 93 octane Jim Testa chip - currently in car) At 24,000 miles I had the following work done: Valve cover gaskets, rear main seal, oil pan gasket (currently oil is Mobile 1 Synthetic) The accumulator ball was replaced due to a the original one failing (I still have the part if the new owner wants it). The Power Master switch has been changed out. I also had all new body mounts installed, and had the Eibach Pro Series Kit installed which dropped the rear 0.8" and the front 1". The front brakes have slotted rotors installed and may have 1500 miles on them. The key would occasionally stick in the ignition, so I had the shop that performed the above work, fix that too. When I purchased the car, the boost was set at 25psi which was more than I was comfortable with. The turbo is currently adjusted to a modest 12psi. I have documentation dating back to when the car was purchased new, and I believe I have all of the manuals that came with the car. There are two sets of rims and tires with this car. The 1st set is a stock set of wheels. These wheels are in perfect shape. There are no signs of clear coat peeling due to tire weights. The tires that are on the stock rims are Toyo Proxies TPT (Directional) P215/65 R15. They have >95% tread on them and about 4,000 miles total. They have not been mounted on the car since I purchased it. The stock center caps (which are in perfect shape) come with these wheels as well. The 2nd set of wheels are the GTA wheels. The rears are offset to resemble the GNX wheels. The tires on these rims are the BFGoodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2. The rear tires are 255/50 R16 and the front tires are 245/50 R16. The car fires right up and drives as you expect it to. Everything works on the car including the AC/Heat. The power antenna works too! The reason I say this isn't a show car, because it does have it's share of issues - remember I am very picky. The Exterior: Overall I would rate this car a 7 out of 10. There is absolutely no rust issues with this car. The previous owner never washed the car in the time that he had it. (I will give you his contact information if you would like to talk to him). The car has a number of car door size dings in it from years of storage - I counted five. The most noticeable dent is an impression on the hood (I attempted to take a picture of it) from someone trying to close the hood. The paint on the car is not original and there a number of places to prove it. At some point in the cars life the drivers side rear quarter and door had some damage and it was repaired and not very well. I can take a picture of the quarter panel from inside the trunk. There is evidence of a 3" scrape mark (crease), which makes me believe that the car may have been hit in a parking lot or side swiped a garage door. I was not concerned with the previous repair because I planned on stripping the car down and having it repainted anyway. The paint on the car is not cracked, chipped, or damaged it's just not a show quality paint job. It does clean up very well and has a deep shine to it. Over the winter the front drivers side bumper filler cracked. The bumper fillers are original and turn a milky white color within 24 hours of waxing them. They need to be replaced. Please note that the car retains all of the original RPO codes on the drivers door and the options sticker in the trunk. The floor pans are perfect, the trunk is perfect, the frame rails are perfect with no rust. The bottom of the door jams are clean (for a 30 year old car) with no rust. The usual problem areas for this car are clean. I do have a California Car cover that goes with the car too... The Interior: Overall I would rate it a 8.5 out of 10. The only issue with the interior is the headliner. Over the winter it also decided to start to sag. It too will need replaced. The seats are clean with no weathering or dry rotting to speak of. The carpet is not stained or have wear marks from excessive use - again it's a low mileage car, and the interior shows it. The radio is original and the cassette player works. The speakers are original and need to be replaced but still work fine. (Concert Sound option) The trunk has a finished kit installed and is original. There are a couple of spots that are worn (not sure from what) but it's the trunk. The Motor: The previous owner installed the 93 octane chip back into the car prior to me purchasing. The car could use a good tuning, but runs as expected with no service engine lights or funny sounds. The exhaust rattles occasionally, but I haven't really figured out why. It doesn't do it all the time usually when the car is in park-idling. Again, the car comes with a number of chips, but I have never used any of the others. I'm sure there is more, but I just can't think of anything else. Now for the legal stuff.... I would highly recommend that you come see and drive the car if you are a serious buyer (I will be present on all test drives). If you damage the car on the test drive - well you buy it. This car is being sold "as-is-where-is" and there is no warranty or guarantee. Please ask questions. If you bid on this car, you are entering a legal agreement to purchase the car, not a chance to come look at it. I have tried to be as fair and honest about the car as possible. It is a 30 year old car. If you have concerns about the car, come look at it. If you have less than 10 bids, please contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. I will not sell this car overseas, so don't even ask. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I will work with the shipping company of choice to make sure the car gets loaded properly. Payment methods accepted are cash or certified funds (NO PAYPAL). I have the title in hand, and the car will not be released until all funds have cleared. A $1,000 deposit is required within 24 hours of action end. You can contact me via my cell at (317) 750-2962 between 8AM-9PM. |

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
