That is an absolute bargain!


I think it is priced right but nothing but strokers have come to look at it. The bumper fillers are a deal breaker for the negative people that see the cup half empty. I was trying to offer it out there and let the next guy save some money and do the work themselves. So I purchased a new set and will take the car to the next level and then if it doesn't sell I might put it away for the winter and drive it in the spring.

If you sell it I will buy it I am starting to keep an inventory and that would be a good addition. I am going to get the test kit for mine over the winter from Julio

For Sale/Trade/Want To Buy / 87 Buick Turbo T Limited 4 sale

« on: August 12 2017, 08:34:55 AM »

I have an 87 Buick Regal Turbo-T Limited for sale. It is a T-top car and one of the rarest turbo Buick’s made. This is a Grand National in sheep’s clothing. This car is truly a survivor, no performance mods and even has the stock chip.The odometer shows 70,00 kms and I believe it is 170,kms The body is in great shape with no rust. It was heavily undercoated and under the wax type undercoat is a non rusty foundation. The paint is an 8 out of 10. It needs a mirror and bumper filler that I have already purchased and will paint and install them for the asking price as well as a couple touch up spots. However I am negotiable on these items.
Under the hood is very clean and has a newly rebuilt alternator , battery as well as an new o2 sensor and recent tune up. The car runs as it came from the factory. The transmission shifts nice and is all original. The exhaust was updated to dual mufflers and rear is a stock 3.42 posi.
The interior is the Limited style pillow top seat and casket door handles. Everything is stock as it came from the factory. The trunk has an aftermarket trunk kit that finishes it off as Buick should have and can be easily removed.
$12500 CDN

No idea but did it ever haul the mail. It was a turbo car by the way it staged.

Thanks! These are great... but, why no Ponchos?

The Pontiac crowd was invited at one time but they want there own race! I hope more Buicks go because it is a great facility and a good group to hang around with. We will go back next year for sure.

It sounds like it is starting on the fuel pump prime circuit and the pump is not running after the key goes from start to the run position?

I see you tested  intake air temps but how much faster was it in the 1/8 mile with the cai installed?

« on: July 06 2016, 01:05:18 PM »

I would be pulling the pan and checking the rod bearings. Take the bearing out and measure it to see if it was pounded from the over boost at max rpm. Just and easy check for peace of mind.

Napcar is boring unless their is "the big wreck".The cars all look alike,when did Toyota build a v8 pushrod motor What is with all the single file racing and spotters making"deals" to see who is your "friend" and help you win the race   When the belts are tightened no body is my friend   BUT I like to watch Danica Patrick(especially in a bathing suit)
