Under 2000 T Types made in 1986, and is essentially a Grand National as a different trim package.

This is a non-smoker hardtop car with 152000 kms (95000 miles) that includes power windows, power door locks, A/C, electronic touch climate control, and cruise control as factory options. Has a CD Player from a Le Sabre that keeps the stock look. It's a clean car inside and out, that's comfortable, handles great, and plenty of power from the turbocharged and intercooled V6 when you need it. Runs and drives great, and maintenance is all up to date with new fluids, new spark plugs, and new spark plug wires. Have receipts/records as well. It has brand new roof rail seals installed, and brand new outer door sills are included with the car (will probably install before pick-up). Center caps, spare shifter handle, and some other miscellaneous stuff is also included. *Seat cover on driver's seat in interior picture for protection.

There are some bolt-on modifications such as: Larger Precision turbo, 3" Downpipe to Hi-flow Cat to 3" exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers, T/A Performance Competition headers, 57lb Siemens Fuel Injectors, Walbro 340 fuel pump with hotwire kit, custom braided #6 fuel return line, aluminum gas tank, Precision Front Mount Intercooler, GSCA Valve Springs, 204/214 non-roller cam, 3000 Stall D6 lock-up converter with a manual switch, Deep transmission pan, line-lock brake kit, TurboTweak chip, Scanmaster 2.0, Bilstein Shocks, Eibach Springs, Founders Performance rear lower control arms, rad support brace, and Chassis bracing behind rear-seat. Stock engine block with ported stock heads, and stock 8.5" posi rear-end with T/A Performance Girdle.
Engine, transmission, and rear end are numbers matching to the car.
Engine was rebuilt in 2001, and transmission was rebuilt in 2004 according to previous owner.

Currently sitting at 16psi of boost on 94 Octane. Plenty fast, and also easy to drive. Could use better tires since I have cheap ones on there due to the other ones becoming too worn. Some oil likes to sit in the vacuum block
at times, and will burn off on start-up. NO OIL BURNING, OR SMOKE, OR THE LIKE DURING IDLE, CRUISING, TAKE-OFF, UNDER LOAD, OR UNDER BOOST.

I'm not shipping the car, PICK-UP ONLY in Calgary, Alberta. If paying with bank draft, you WILL have to come to the bank with me.
If there are any questions, just ask.

Neil Young's 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark brings $400,000 at auction

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Singer-songwriter Neil Young's extensive collection of model trains have fetched nearly $300,000 at auction, along with classic cars and musical equipment owned by the 72-year-old folk-rock icon. Young, a model train enthusiast for decades, offered more than 230 pieces at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles from his collection of Lionel trains, including a custom-painted Commodore Vanderbilt 4-6-4 locomotive that sold for $10,000. Several cars that Young owns were also sold. A 1953 Buick code 76X Roadmaster Skylark convertible with a steering wheel hub that says, "Customized for Neil Young," went for $400,000, the auction house said on Saturday. Young, best known for his Woodstock-era songs as well as his work with the bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has said the vast model train layouts at his California ranch helped him connect with his son Ben, who has cerebral palsy. Other items auctioned off on Saturday included some of Young's guitars, amplifiers and microphones. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bridge School in California, which Young's ex-wife Pegi Young co-founded in 1986 for children with severe speech and physical impairments.Reporting by Joseph AxRelated Video:

China-market Buick Envista rumored possible replacement for the Encore

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Buick currently sells four crossovers, the Encore, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave. That number will soon be whittled to three, the Encore expected to end production after this model year. If speculation provided by GM Authority is correct, there could be changes afoot in the middle of the line in time for the 2024 model year. Buick has said it will maintain four ICE-powered crossovers, so the brand will need something to fill the coming gap. GMA sources suggest the China-market Buick Envista could get the nod. Buick launched the coupe-esque model across the Pacific in August, a relation to the Chevrolet Seeker that appeared on the Chinese market in April. The Envista debuted the brand's latest design language inspired by pure-electric concepts like the Electra-X and WIldcat. Thin, angled headlights frame a wide, low grille, leading back to a roof that slopes into a high back and double spoilers. GM applied to trademark the Envista name in the U.S. in early 2019, then maintained it with extension requests until earlier this year. Then, in September 2022, the automaker abandoned the application, which could bode ill for whatever chance there was, if any. Another snag could be that the Envista is 182.5 inches long, 71.5 inches wide, and 61.6 inches high on a 106.3-inch wheelbase. Various reports have pitched the Envista to fill the (small) space between the Encore GX and the Envision; however, the Envista falls just 0.10 short of the Envision's length, and it's three inches smaller in every other dimension. On the other hand, the Envista is 11.1 inches longer and 0.1 inch wider than the Encore GX, with a wheelbase 4.1 inches longer. That makes a lot of overlap in the dimensional Venn diagram. Were the Envista to come as-is, it wouldn't so much be a replacement for the Encore as be a different kind of compact SUV from the Envision on a more modern platform. Further speculation from "sources familiar with the matter" says a U.S.-market Envista could get the Avenir treatment. Avenir marks the ultimate in Buick luxury, an appellation currently restricted to the Envision and Enclave. According to a separate report, the Encore GX is also headed into the Avenir club with the compact crossover gets refreshed for the 2024 model year. An Encore GX Avenir would adopt some exterior tweaks like 18-inch alloys, and turn a load of optional equipment available for the Encore GX Essence trim into standard equipment. Related video:

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
