1987 Buick Regal with 'T' package (Option code Y56), Exterior Sport Package (W02), and rare T-Tops with V8 307 Engine
I had this beautiful 87 listed last week and found out that there was an odometer error. I had bought this car last year and was told that it had 75K miles but when I checked the free car history on Ebay last week, I was astonished that the car has an extra 100K miles. To be honest, you would never know this car has mileage above 100K; it truely rides and handles like a low mileage car. My Virginia title states 75K. Has current Virginia inspection and is currently registered.
What I found out from the previous owner is the following new items for restoration in early 2009 (only 8K miles ago):
* New professional paint with two stage clear coat painted at a Chevrolet dealer
* New Weatherstripping
* New Converter
* New Front Brakes
* New Shocks
* New Radiator
* New Belts
* New Carpet
* New Headliner
* Rebuilt Transmission with Shift kit
* New turn signal lever
* New Shift Cable
* New Hood Release cable
New items in 2010 totalling $1,644 w/reciept:
* New Water pump
* New Thermostate and seal
* Upper and lower hoses
* New By pass and heater hoses
* New Master switch
New items in 2012 totalling $354 w/receipt:
* Evacuate and recharge AC system for R134 freon
* New Transmission Mount
* Replace new rear brake line
Why am I selling this beauty? I just got laid off and I need to sell it to pay bills... ;-(
Body: All panels are rust free. Needs touch-up on front drivers side filler panel. Also, has a few dings on hood.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
