This auction is for a 1983 Pro Touring Buick Regal Project car. I started the car a few years ago and no longer have the time to finish is. The car does not currently run, it needs finishing. I have almost every part needed to finish the project and several extra parts. I bought the car several years ago, I built a custom stereo, custom interior and did a complete sound deadening job and also rewired the car front to back. I drove it like that for a couple of summers and then I decided to take the car to the next level. I bought a second frame for the car and went through the entire frame and boxed and reinforced every aspect (used both Lowrider and Drag Racer techniques) of the frame to make sure it would hold up to anything I did with the car. Once the frame was done it was powder coated to match the car. I also built a custom front and rear coil over system for the car and replaced every steering, suspension and bushing component in the car with all new fasteners, most of which are all custom ARP 12 point stainless. The brakes are all Baer

I bought a 2004 Escalade 6.0 Gen III motor and had it torn down and completely rebuilt with the Probe Industries kit punching it out to a 6.8 Liter Gen III with 620 hp roughly. The heads were redone top to bottom and I but in a Monster Transmission 4L65E with a billet servo, it's good to 1500hp. I also installed a brand new Ford 9" G-Body housing with an Eaton TruTrac diff and all new components with Strange Axles. I was originally going to use a FAST intake on the car (as seen in some of the pictures) but decided on using the new Holley Dual Throttle Body intake and throttle bodies. All of the intake system is still brand new in the boxes along with all of the Holley fuel system. The car is currently plumbed with all Fuelab components but have a complete Holley system if you wanted to replace it. Most of the engine fastners are also all custom 12 point ARP stainless and everything internal is ARP.

I have a dedicated website for the build of the project www.projectstressrelief.com where you can see pictures from every aspect of the build and you can also see the quality of the build and the quality of the parts used.

I have literally thousands of pictures for the car since the day I bought it.

This is a near complete list of all of the components in the car, I am sure there is things I have missed so please ask any questions.

The pictures of the car complete shows what it looks like when all assembled. The current state of the car is the pictures of it on the flat deck when I moved it from my house to a storage warehouse. The front end is mounted to a pallet (how I had it stored at my shop) along with the front and rear bumpers. The front end is in great shape, the bumpers might need a bit of touch up paint on them. The only real issue with the car as far as damage is the rear bumper fillers are very brittle (common on all G-body's) and have started breaking. I have replaced the fronts and had them painted but the rears need to be replaced.

What is left to finish is to put the top end of the motor on, wire up the motor and computer, plumb the coolant, oil and power steering hoses (have them all) along with the brake lines from the master cylinder to the prop valve (rest of the car is done) Put the front end back on, connect up the front wire to the firewall, install a battery and rad/cooling fan. Install the steering column and run a throttle cable through the fire wall (hole there). The car has a full blown Clifford 2-way alarm system but needs a head unit installed to run the stereo.

Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates

Mon, 26 Nov 2012

Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.

2014 Buick Regal GS

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

A few months ago I drove the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and wrote up a First Drive review of it. For all of my quibbles with that sedan (and I had a fair number), I understand that it speaks to the heart of what new Buick loyalists like in a car; it's roomy, has a cushy ride and is as placid as a summer's morning at highway speeds.
Those qualities, while undeniably desirable, don't mean a whole lot to me personally. I prefer sedans that conjure up words like "nimble," "punchy" or even "raucous" on occasion. So, directionally, the high-performance GS version of the 2014 Buick Regal is more my cup of tea than any other car in the company's current range.
In fact, I'd already come to know the Regal GS from its 2012 model year introduction, and grown more than a little fond of the sporting sedan in its original front-wheel-drive, six-speed-manual guise. The fast, sweet-handling car with well-sorted controls may have suffered from a slight identity crisis in terms of pricing (and may still), but it was undeniably fun to drive. So, when I heard that the GS was coming to market for 2014 with optional all-wheel drive (albeit only in combination with a six-speed automatic transmission), I was stoked to have another go and concentrated my driving impressions on the AWD car.

2017 Buick LaCrosse an evolution of sharp Avenir concept

Wed, Nov 18 2015

After years as a bloated, uninspiring, but comfortable near-premium sedan, Buick has taken the wraps off a leaner, lither, far more stylish LaCrosse. The third-generation model has just made its debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Motor Show. While there's a lot to talk about, let's first address the new, Avenir-inspired sheetmetal. The fascia is basically the concept car smoothed over into production form, featuring the same winged trishield. In place of the chrome-trimmed waterfall, the LaCrosse gets a blacked-out, recessed grille with a chrome surround. It looks good in photos but it's better in person, adding a real sense of complexity and depth to the front end. The headlights and lower fascia, meanwhile, adhere closely to the concept. The same cannot be said of the LaCrosse's tail. While the taillight lighting pattern is similar, the overall shape of the lighting element is radically different, refining the design featured on the back of the Regal. Also gone, sadly, is the Avenir's boattail rear deck. Instead, the LaCrosse gets a small rear deck that curves up into a pleasant duckbill spoiler. The rest of the tail is pleasantly restrained. Perhaps the weakest point is the profile, where Buick has instituted a "split-spear" design, featuring a strong shoulder line above the rear wheel well, which sits below an even stronger character line that curves down and towards the front of the car. It strikes us as just a little too much, like the Impala. Underneath that sheetmetal, Buick has managed to trim nearly 300 pounds of body fat, nearly half of which came from the vehicle's actual structure. That 300 lbs, according to Buick's engineers, is equivalent to a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, in case you needed a helpful comparison. Despite the weight savings, Buick has upped the torsional rigidity for this new model by 15 percent. The LaCrosse's cabin features a strong, cockpit-like design, with a high, floating-bridge center console. This is possible due to Buick's adaption of the Electronic Precision Shift system, introduced earlier this month on the new Cadillac XT5. Despite the new-fangled console design, Buick's retained the wraparound cabin style introduced on the second-gen model. Based on a quick crawl around the interior, space is great in front, although ingress in back is somewhat difficult due to the roofline. You're probably wondering why we haven't said anything about the mechanicals just yet.
