This is a PROJECT car I bought from a couple in Colorado and had shipped to my builder in Watertown, South Dakota, 57201. The pictures I've included are from the previous listing when I bought it in late-2012, and they are all that I have. I live outside the US and can't readily get more pictures. If you have specific questions, I'll do my best to get a timely answer.

What you see is what you get, and the mileage is unknown. I haven't had it running; so I can't say for sure what shape the engine or transmission are in. I have no reason to think that either is bad, but after sitting so many years, I'd expect that one or both need some attention. It's not a Grand Sport car; so the rear end (if still original) would be a 3.23:1 open (non-Posi) differential. The driver's seat is missing, but I know of a place in California that probably has one.

There is rust in the passenger-rear quarter, but my builder didn't seem to think it went into anything structural in the trunk. He also said the inside of the front lip of the hood looked rusty & thin, but that shouldn't be to hard to fix for someone who can do the metal work themselves. A replacement hood probably runs $250 or so. The only other damage I'm aware of is on the rear panel where you can see it's a bit dented. The front bumpers need re-chromed, but the rear bumper and tail lights are excellent. Most of the interior & exterior trim is there, but there are a few side & rocker molding pieces that I can tell from the pictures are either missing or bent. These aren't too hard to find, but if you want to make a hot-rod out of the car, you can play around with cleaning up the look.

That's all I know about the car's condition. I do not have a title, only the bill of sale I received from the couple I bought it from. For a car this old, most states don't require a title, but you should definitely check your state's laws before bidding/buying.

I'm only trying to get back most of what I have in the car; so here's a chance to pick up a cool project for not much money. Good luck bidding.

Buick GN and GNX will return

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.

Buick to add more GS models?

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
