This is a 1976 Buick Century Regal Replica Pace car with 40,257 original miles. It was purchased new and never driven much just sat in a garage with a cover over it which is included with the sale. It started life as a fully equipped Regal S/R including power steering and brakes, power windows and door locks, power bucket seats with recliners, tilt steering, air conditioning (converted to R134A and is ice cold), cruise control (works great), speed warning, AM/FM cassette (also works), I added a trunk mounted FM modulated CD changer and replaced the old factory speakers with new Polk Audio 6X9's in the back and 5X7 in the front. I also added a hidden amplifier under the rear package tray and the whole system sounds great. All power options are in excellent working order and the car is also equipped with Hurst Hatch T-Tops which are in perfect condition and don't leak or have any wind noise. There is a factory Hurst box in the trunk to hold the T-Tops when they are off the car so you can take them with you and all the original literature from Hurst. All the rubber seals and weatherstripping are in perfect condition with no cracking or leaking. The car also came factory equipped with the space saver inflatable spare and has the inflator bottle with it as well as factory equipped superlift air shocks which are in great shape and hold air well with no leaks. The car was repainted about three years ago in two stage base/clear original pewter grey metallic and all of the pace car decals were meticulously reproduced and are in perfect condition. The pictures show the car with the original Buick Rally wheels with Goodyear Eagle II tires and also with a set of 15X8 and 15X10 Cragar SS wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The car will come with the factory wheels but the Cragars will be extra if you want them as well. The engine starts, idles, and runs smooth and the transmission shifts cleanly and smoothly as well. There are NO fluid leaks at all under the car and No rust anywhere either as the car was never driven in cold or rainy weather. It runs, drives, stops, smells and feels like a brand new car still and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. There is a new exhaust system from the cat back with a flowmaster muffler that is still very quiet but has a nice low rumble to it. Other than that, everything is stock as equipped from the factory. I also have the original build sheet, dealers brochure, owners manual, specification sheet, 1976 Buick press release kit, copies of letters from Buick motor division to the dealer network introducing the pace car option, dealer order form, Buick public relations press photos and letters, original advertising, one ticket to the 1976 Indianapolis 500 60th annual race that was paced by the Buick equipped with a V6 for the first time and there is a pit and press pass and souvenir program also. Buick maintenance schedule, warranty information, consumer information booklet, Buick accessories catalog, exterior color chart, dealer price guide with leather folder, Buick product information booklets and several old magazines from 1976 featuring the Buick pace car. This is a really low mileage and unique car and you will be virtually guaranteed not to see another one driving down the street or at a car show. It gets a lot of looks and stares when I drive it and people are constantly asking me about it. I can help with shipping if you need a car carrier and also have additional pictures including the trunk and under side so just e-mail me if you would like them or have any questions.

Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
