This is a project that I have just finished, it is not a high end original show car but a very very nice ProStreet Tribute version of a 71 Buick GS that you can drive on the street anywhere as well as the drag strip on weekends. I started with a body from Texas that is 100% Rust Free, all mechanical is new as well as paint, weather stripping, tires, headliner-carpet-sails & deck lid-rest of interior is original and in good condition, driver side of bench seat has a couple little nicks on lower side as can be seen in pic. Car has a very nice low side bar -for easy in & out- 6 point cage which was taken thru floor & trunk pans and welded to frame as it should be to tighten up the structure of car in order to handle and distribute the power which I estimate to be right at 600 HP, motor is a 455 bored .030 over with TRW fly cut pistons at 12:1 comp., steel heads ported & polished with TA stainless valves, valve springs & push rods, TA Roller cam-lifters-rocker arms & dbl. roller timing chain, TA rods & bolts & high vol. oil pump, TA Stage 1 aluminum intake & 800 Holly dbl. pumper with Paxton electric fuel pump mounted on frame just in front of stock gas tank with 1/2" aluminum line back to front, MSD Dist. & 6AL Box for firepower, TA 2" headers with 3" exhaust along with Flow Master mufflers, 350 Turbo trans worked to handle power with ATI 4000 Stall, not a manual valve body so your girl friend can drive this one, however it has a easy to use Hurst Qtr. Shifter and if she's inclined she just may be pulling them, LOL, 4 core radiator, shroud filled with stock fan along with electric fan set up which allows this motor to run at a consistent 170 deg., 12 Bolt GM rear with HD Eaton Posi, 32 spline axils with 5/8 studs & 410 gear, adj. upper rear control arms, car has new M/T ProStreet tires all 4 corners, 30X12.5 street slicks on rear, with this entire combination car will run 55 MPH at 3K RPM and again with a consistent 170 deg., Comp. Engineering shocks- 90/10 front & 50/50 rear, motor will run on pump gas with a heavy mixture of octain booster additive or min. of 30% racing fuel, this is to drive and enjoy, however if you are going to run it all out I recommend 100% Racing Fuel by all means. I could go on and on but I think you got it, this car is sweet, I have not installed interior door panels yet because I'm waiting on OPGI to send backing plates for arm rest-they are on back order. Car is 100% ready for you if this is your cup of tea, be ready for the ride cause it is bad A''''''
Note: I did not use a GS style grill because OPGI wants $ 600. for that piece of plastic, I instead refinished original grill in flat black and it looks plenty GOOD !

Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy
Wed, 31 Oct 2012Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales
Wed, 12 Nov 2014General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats
Wed, 02 Apr 2014The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.
