Hey everyone!   Up for sale is my 1986 Buick Regal T-Type.   This T-Type has been a Texas car it’s whole life until 2 years ago when it was moved here and kept in a heated and dehumidified garage while the entire car was overhauled.   No expense was spared while building this car!   Body is RUST-FREE and has 97k original miles with only one repaint and still looks great!  Engine and all parts have less than 500 miles on them.  Transmission has 50 miles on it, yes 50 miles and was just done by Jimmy’s Performance Transmission in Mudelein, IL.   If you’re into the Turbo Buick scene you’ll know that Jimmy’s is the only place in the Midwest you want your 200-4R done at. 

Here is a list of things done to the T-Type:

-#’s matching motor/transmission

-Stock block, rebuilt, king bearings, new front cover, high pressure oil pump, water pump, Cometic head gaskets and Felpro gaskets throughout engine.   This is a stock rotating assembly.  Heads have been completely rebuilt with new guides, seals, valve job with new Manley Stainless valves and 100# valve springs.

-Painted heads and block black, powder coated the upper and lower intake.

-Brand New Jimmy’s Performance Transmissions 2004-R Transmission and Jimmy’s Torque converter.  Fresh with 50 miles on the while setup!  This was build to handle mid-10 second ET’s.

-Brand new Billet Precision 58/58 turbo with HD actuator.

-Converted to E85, all new stainless lines, braided from tank to fuel rail and the return as well from rail back to tank,  Racetronix Dual In-tank Pump System G7X 510LPH, G7 DP Fuel Pump Wiring Harness, Fuel Pump Sender, G7, 2x255LPH Pumps AN, Pressure Switch, 4PSI, SPST M/P280S, Hobbs Interface Harness 72" -- DPK, body ground kit.th brand new AN fittings.  -8an feed with -6an return.

These are just some of the items I can think of off the top of my head.  WAY TOO MUCH to list!  I have tons of receipts! 

I still have a few things left to finish on the car but nothing that will stop anyone from driving it and turning heads!   Here are a few things that are next on my list.  It needs a new headliner, needs new rubber trim around doors/windows/trunk (there are complete kits made that are easy to install).   Typical stuff you’d see on a 28 year old Texas car.  Also passenger power window motor is slow, I would replace this sooner than later.

These cars are getting harder to find, and are very hard to find in this shape.  There are tens of thousands of dollars into this car in addition to originally buying it. 

This setup is enough to run into the 10’s all day long.  Build with the intention of running 28#’s of boost.  Currently on 22psi boost.  You could run this on regular 93 octane gas with a different chip (very easy to get and not expensive).  E85 is cheap by me and is the choice of fuel for forced induction.

I have many more pictures of this car, I’ll send them to serious buyers upon request.


If you have any questions please message me or call/text me @ 847-420-31FiveOne

 

Thanks,

Tim

Buick envisioning a refreshed Envision crossover

Tue, Sep 19 2017

Buick's first fully Chinese-built vehicle in the U.S., the Envision crossover, is now getting its very first refresh. Cars grow up so fast, don't they? There's no time to be wistful, though, so we need to take a look at this prototype. It looks like the Envision refresh is going to be very mild and focuses on strengthening the family resemblance between it and other Buicks. The waterfall grille now has a horizontal bar that intersects with the badge, as seen on every new and updated Buick since the latest LaCrosse. And although that badge is covered, we wouldn't be surprised if it changes from the all-silver design to the classic red, white and blue version that was reintroduced on the LaCrosse. The lower grilles have been changed, too. The outboard grilles that house the fog lights look smaller and less pronounced than on the current model, and the center piece appears to be thinner and wider. It also more naturally merges into the plastic air dam. The tail of this Envision, though more heavily camouflaged, also shows some minor updates. The most significant of them are the new taillights. They appear to have a similar boomerang shape as those on the LaCrosse, a distinct change from the ovular units of the current model. The lower edge of the bumper seems to have more of a faux diffuser look, and the exhaust tips now blend into the shape of the bumper, rather than ending in simple round shapes. Since this update is clearly a mild one, we would expect to see the new Envision on sale sometime next year, probably as a 2019 model. It will join a rather fresh Buick lineup alongside the new Regal and Enclave.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Buick 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.
