Previously listed this car last fall and the buyer back-out at the last minute. This car is in excellent condition, with only minor wear on interior and exterior as displayed in the pictures. I have performed a few engine and transmission mods., such as larger turbo, front-mount intercooler, 42lb. injectors, 3" stainless exhaust from turbo, back (single-shot). chrome pipes and covers under hood, and cold-air induction. This car has never been driven in the winter and much of its life spent in the garage being stored. It just received its every-spring service with full synthetic oil and is ready to go! The modifications that have been performed are more for show than for strip. I have NEVER raced this car during my 12 years of ownership. If racing is what you want, all the provisions are here to gain 450+ HP with a simple "tune". Multi-stage ECM Prom is installed that allows for a varying change in fuel/ignition/boost management. Original transmission was overhauled less than 3 years ago/300 miles, and a Coan 3200 stall converter (non lock-up) was installed. TE-63 turbo under hood that would allow for 20+ psi. of boost. Currently boosting to 16, additional frame to body mounts were installed as well as body bracing. The engine runs very strong and transmission shifts firm and crisp.
The body is near flawless with only minor scuffs and a few small "parking lot" dents. No body surface rust except for minor rust under drivers carpet/floor pan (see pics). T-tops and all glass are in excellent condition. Minor interior wear to drivers seat and door panel. Sun visors have been removed due to the steel parts being cracked, causing the visors to be loose and not staying in place (Included). Original wheels are in storage and are included with the sale, as well as any misc. original parts. The only know defects are fuel gauge that shows about 1/4 tank less that what it actually has, and clear-coat that was painted on the bumper guards (rear) that is peeling off, and a small dent on the drivers side roof that looks like a hail stone dent (caused by a tree branch that fell). The car was painted just before I purchased it from the dealership that took it in on trade from the original owner, for a new Jaguar. The windows were tinted during my ownership and look real nice.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Inside 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.
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
