Hello,

Up for sale is my Sunday driver Muscle Car that turns a lot of heads and get's a lot of compliments while on the road. It's a solid automobile and runs very strong and very fast. She has about 650hp and if ran down the 1/4 mile, I'd say she'd probably run in the low 10's. That's an educated guess because I never had the chance take it to the drag strip. The car is running great and you could probably drive it to the drag-strip right now if you wanted. There's been around a total of $30k-$40k worth of work done to her over time which you can see for yourself and it's tuned just right.

Reason why I'm selling her is because I recently had lower back surgery and now I cannot bear sitting in the bucket seats for more than a minute or two before I get sharp pains! I strategically purchased this car so I could cruise to "Houston's Coffee & Cars" gatherings and take pride in having one of the fastest street legal cars there...

Here's a quick rundown of what she's got:

-1972 Buick 350 short block is all stock and a deep true y-block

-Original steel heads

-Mild cam and big crank

-Ported Heads

-Poston 114 cam/roller rockers

-Aluminum X-Factor intake (one of only three ever produced)

-Holley 650 w/full annular swap, aftermarket metering blocks, and new baseplate w/four corner idle (massively modified for blow through)

-All new top end gaskets

-Aluminum radiator with two speed fan

-Tri-Y turbo headers

-HEI distributor w/vacuum advance/boost retard

-MSD CD ignition box w/rev limiter

-Taylor 8mm wires

-High amp chrome one wire alternator

-Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump and Mallory referenced bypass regulator

-TA Performance high volume oil pump

-Two 50mm hybrid turbo's running through a 2 in, 1 out style intercooler and tuned conservatively at 8 psi

-Twin 35mm wastegates and dual blow off valves

-Full mandrel bent 3" exhaust

-Stainless perforated tube race mufflers

-TH350 transmission w/alto reds, kolene steels, stage 2 shift kit, extra frictions, and stand alone cool w/10" fan

-3800 rpm 9" nitrous converter

-B&M dual lockout Pro-Stick shifter w/custom aluminum .44 magnum revolver cylinder handle that holds live rounds (minus their primers)

-Stock driveshaft w/heavy duty universals

-Buick 10 bolt rearend with Richmond 4.56 ring and pinion, and Zytanium locker

-Back half suspension is made from 1/8" wall, 2x3" rectangular steel w/Camaro/Nova monoleafs

-Custom traction bars integrated into the spring plates

-6 point roll bar (.135 wall 1 3/4" steel)

-Summit racing bucket seats w/drivers side RCI harness

-Grant woodgrain/polished aluminum steering wheel

-Aluminum dashboard full of Autometer Sport Comp gauges

-Innovative wideband AFR system (electronic tuning)

-All new 1970 Buick GS fiberglass bumpers, hood, fenders, and truck lid from VFN

-New custom fabricated aluminum core support

-Battery in the trunk

-RCI 16 gallon fuel cell in the trunk

-Original drum brakes (pads are not original of course)

To go with the car, I have a brand new Stage 2 hood scoop with "Stage 2" stickers, Stage 1 fender badges, and all the Buick GS badges required to make this car resemble one of the last two Stage 2's left in this world: "The Jones and Benisek" (last picture/red car) and "Reynolds" 1970 Buick Skylark Stage 2's. I also have a water proof car cover and DOT approved helmet which I'll throw in for the winning bidder. The car is not a show car by all means as she is still in black primer, has scratches, and the windshield is cracked. But again, she turns heads like no other car I've had before and you will enjoy the attention too as you drive it down Main Street.

Please feel free to shoot me an email through eBay with any question you may have and Good Luck bidding! Car is sold as is with no warranty implied or expressed.

Some more photos of the car can be found on photobucket by looking up my library. My user name is blondknight.

To best answer some common questions I am receiving, I did not build the car. I bought it the way it sits from the owner of an auto performance and custom fabrication shop because I new it was built right. All parts and work done performed are of the highest quality.

1) Do you have the dyno data to substantiate the HP rating?
No, I don't have it.

2) If you built this car for the street, why 4.56 gears and no overdrive? And, why have the tailpipes exit under the car?
I bought it this way.

3) Are the wastegates adjustable?
No, they're not adjustable so some work will needed to be done to increase boost.

4) Does the title have any restrictions as to use?
Title is clear, car is registered in Texas, and it is street legal. Barely.

5) Are all lighting systems and gauges fully operational?
Yes and yes. The blinkers and high beams do not work.

Thanks and good luck bidding.

On Feb-10-13 at 17:07:30 PST, seller added the following information:

It has aftermarket Autometer gauges so I do not know the actual mileage. It reads about 29,000 and because the car is pretty solid, I just estimated it to be 129,000 FYI.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
