1986 Buick Regal T-type / Wh1 Turbo Regal on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Model: Regal
Drive Type: RWD
Year: 1986
Mileage: 88,900
Trim: T-Type
This is a factory WH1 hardtop car which come 3 tone, with blackout package and this one came with gray bucket seat interior. At the time of this writing, the car has approximately 88K miles, but I still drive this occasionally so the miles may increase a bit. Some highlights pertaining to the car and general descriptions of condition are outlined below:
Mechanical:
This car has been converted to E85 specifications for superior performance, reliability and exceptional idle quality. This conversion includes a “Turbo Tweak” chip, low impedance 57# injectors, Scanmaster, hotwire kit, Red's Double pumpers and a Red Armstrong volt booster. It also has a Hooker 2 1/2 ” exhaust. Modified ECM/ New Valve springs, ported throttlebody/intake. I replaced the stock Electric Fan with a high low unit from a 2006 LS1 Camaro. It also has a 160 degree thermostat and this car never runs above 180 degrees with ac on a hot summer day. It is still running the factory turbo and intercooler 19-24 lbs. boost. Adjustable FPR regulator, EGR Block off plate. This combination results in a very quick-spooling, streetable package that is loads of fun which also allows a solid foundation for future upgrades. I have not run this car in the 1/4 mile nor am I interested in doing so...my intended goal with these modifications was to have a quick, reliable and streetable package that I could jump in and take on a 300 mile road trip without worry. The drive train is in great condition and runs, shifts and drives great. The transmission is a fully built unit with hardened input shaft alto bands deep pan. Shifts are very firm and positive. As for the converter it is a re-stalled D5. This car also has g80 posi rear end with performance upper and lower control arms with an upgraded heavy duty sway bar for better handling. The rear end is also "girdled" with a TA cover and ARP fasteners.
Body:
I bought this car when it had just received an all black paintjob a few years ago. Paint looked good so i never worried about bringing it back to the 3 tone original paint scheme until it showed some wear. Since then the car has been always stored in a carport with a cover but thru the years has had various nicks, chips and regular street driven vehicle wear. I have some pictures of the car prior to paint which I can provide upon request. The chrome bumpers have no dings, rust or blemishes.The trunk and passenger compartment floors are clean.
Interior:
Aside from the addition of an in dash CD player, Scanmaster, pillar gauges afr/boost and console gauges which consist of oil and water temp gauges and custom floor mats as pictured, the interior is as it left GM in 1986. It is in exceptional condition given its age and the seats and door panels show very little wear. The factory original carpet does show some staining in the typical areas. Given these issues, I would critically rate the interior an 7 out of 10. The car has COLD AC and hot heat. The cruise control works great as well.
Wheels/Tires/Suspension:
Summary/Price:
Overall, this is a very, very nice, rare car that you could be proud to drive or show anywhere. I would not consider this a quality trailer queen, but a decent turbo regal that runs and drives beautifully. I have enjoyed this car a great deal in the years I have owned it. I no longer have the time or interest in this car I once had. Although I am looking to sell the car, I am not faced with a “must sell” situation. General inquiries may be directed to me via text or call 786-487-9775 This car is located in Miami, FL I encourage interested buyers to come see and drive the car as I don’t want to deal with any sight unseen/buyer’s remorse issues following the sale. I hold clean/clear FL title and due to my personal circumstances outlined above, I am not interested in trades.

Buick Encore GX expected to come to the U.S. alongside the popular Encore
Mon, Apr 22 2019When we posted on Buick unveiling the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai 2019 as a longer-wheelbase version of the Encore, we though the GX trim could supplant our local Encore. According to Automotive News, citing "sources familiar with the plans," Buick will sell both the Encore and the Encore GX here. Brand boss Duncan Aldred told Buick dealers in January to expect a new model this year, and it appears the slightly larger subcompact crossover is that product. GM Authority reported the same news in March, the outlet saying that Buick intends to re-create in the U.S. the "model family" strategy the carmaker employs in China. Over there, our rebadged Verano sold as the first-generation Excelle, Excelle GT and Excelle GX, the GX being the wagon version of the sedan. When the Excelle trio moved a less expensive platform for the second generation, Buick introduced a Verano model in China in both sedan and Verano GS hatchback forms. AN reported that Buick is also planning a smaller three-row Enclave for China. The Encore GX differs fundamentally from both the Chinese- and U.S.-market Encores. Our Encore, a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, rides on the Gamma II platform. The second-generation China-market Encore rides on GM's new Global Emerging Markets (GEM) platform, an updated version of the Gamma II for regions like China and Latin America. The Encore GX rides on the Vehicle Strategy Set - Front (VSS-F) architecture. AN wasn't sure yet where our U.S.-market Encore GX will be built, but doesn't expect it to come from China. The Encore GX here will slide into the lineup between the $23,200 Encore and $31,995 Envision. Whereas the Chinese model aims to stop hemorrhaging Encore sales in China, our version will want to expand the Encore success story. Since it went on sale in 2013, the model has posted double-digit sales increases here every year save for last year. In 2018 the model sold 93,073 units, accounting for 47 percent of brand sales. There's no reason to doubt the Encore GX will boost that number.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.

JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles.

These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
