1987 Buick Turbo T-solid+rust Free Car-missing Short Block-grand National-cheap on 2040-cars
Kelso, Washington, United States
Nice and solid 1987 Buick Turbo T, rare and very fast car. VIN# 1G4GM1176HP432370 Garaged all of its life, it is completely rust free. Very well maintained throughout history with 165,155 original miles on the car. Painted bright red almost 20 years ago so there are some minor nicks and dings from rocks and parking lots, look closely at pictures for extent. Never wrecked or rust repaired, all original steel and glass…front to back. New seal kit for car included and in packages still, including roof seals(2), door seal(2), trunk Seal(1) GNX front undercar braces are included, just need to be bolted into existing stock holes. Nice professional Stereo system, Alpine HD Radio/CD player, center channel, all upgraded speakers and amps. Sherwood Alarm system with remote door locks and power trunk release. Replacement NOS Door sill plates, above door chrome, Perfect Steering wheel center cap/horn piece, etc. Spare Computer and chips to tune to your desire. Flowmaster exhaust with big downpipe, Weld Super Single wheels…etc Everything worked perfect including power trunk release, power steering, air, cruise, power windows, all electrics unmolested. Very low owner car, I have owned it for 11 years and know the history for the life of car. I had many nice weather cars when I lived here and this was my favorite one to drive. Great gas mileage and all the power you could EVER want in a street car. The trim package in this is very comfortable on long trips and a thrill to drive and hear the air pushed in as you are pushed into the seat!
The bad: I broke the crank under boost and snapped a cap. I had new caps installed and lined bored, then moved out of the country. The engine is no longer owned by me, but can be purchased after car is sold to buyer only for $1000.
NEEDS: Power Antennae, Short Block 3.8 V-6; The original ready to go block with new turbo pistons and crank installed is available separately from third party for $1000 only to buyer of car. I can arrange to pick up with the car. Headliner is out of car and needs the “soft” cover replaced onto the hard shell. All motor parts and accessories included and put in boxes when shop removed them. Tires are old and should be replaced, as it has been in storage for 8 years. Minor interior defects, minor paint defects (see Pics)
Thanks for looking….very low reserve. I am going back home and time to get this out of storage and back on the road....under another's control |

Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
