1986 Buick Regal T-type 3.8l Sfi Turbo W/t-tops Burgundy/burgundy on 2040-cars

Year:1986 Mileage:111604
Location:

Clanton, Alabama, United States

Clanton, Alabama, United States

Selling the T-type to make room in the shop - no time to drive it and she needs a new home.  This car was maintained with Mobil 1 Synthetics and has a few minor upgrades that were done prior to my owning the car in the summer of 1988.  This car has a watercooled turbo but I still idled the car for approx 60 seconds prior to shutoff. 3-inch exhaust with flowmaster mufflers. Solid intake tube, new gas tank, fuel pump, sending unit and fuel filter.    

Car is a good daily driver with minimal work - 

Here's what I know of that needs to be addressed on the car to get it show ready:
  
-Needs to be painted - car has original factory paint that has weathered - 
-Top of dash is cracked (Vinyl and the plastic grill need to be repaired or replaced)
-T-top gaskets, and window gaskets on the doors need to be replaced.
-Needs (and comes with) bumper fillers, hood badges, OEM style floor mats.  
-Visors need to be re-covered
-Carpet on back deck (speaker deck) needs to be replaced
-AC isn't cold, but we had replaced the compressor with GM factory unit in 1992 before the car was garage stored around 1995 till sept of last year - definitely gonna need a recharge.
-Need center-caps for original wheels
-Hood blanket needs to be replaced to show the car
-Rubber bumpers (black) that ran on mid-section from front to rear were removed a long time ago when one started to fall off - so you'd probably want to get those to get it to the factory look
-Heater Core (comes with one, but hasn't been installed as of right now)

Runs great - I always ran this car with Mobil 1 Synthetic, always cooled down the turbo - even after water injected turbo upgrade was added.
New tires, new tank, fuel pump, sending unit, radiator.  New heater core *(not installed yet). 
Serviced last month with Royal Purple trans fluid, differential fluid, and synthetic oil.
Seats, carpet, doors, and console are in great shape. All chrome is in excellent shape
Never wrecked - NO RUST, NO BODYWORK done except on front left fender had a grocery cart hit it and was repaired + parking lamp replaced

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.

Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
