Greetings Turbo Regal Inner Circle Members 04-25-2018 -
RESULTS FROM OUR KIRBAN SPRING OPEN HOUSE -
Although it was cool in the early morning hours, the weather for our Open House was absolutely picture perfect. The turn-out was one of the biggest we have had in recent years. According to Jason, at one point in the day he counted 75 Turbo Regals in attendance and 4 real GNX cars. This is in addition to several other performance muscle cars.
It was great seeing many familiar faces and there were quite a few people that came for the first time to one of our events. The winner of the 50/50 drawing took home a little over $400 in cash! Nicholas Stillo won the M&Ms contest. It took almost 2 hours to hand out all the great door prizes. In addition to our door prizes, many vendors we deal with had sent us lots of items to raffle off. Special thanks to all those who generously contributed. The No Reserve Auction bidding was hot and heavy on many of the unique items we had, including the prototype banners.
There were quite a few cars from the MAGNA group. We appreciate your club coming to our events. Also, several cars came from Brooklyn and other parts of New York.
If you are on Facebook, out the terrific photos and videos posted on the “Mid-Atlantic Grand National Association (MAGNA)” group.
As you can imagine my wife, Eileen was quite surprised as many people brought her a 50th Anniversary card. She had no idea I had planned this surprise for her. Russ and Nancy presented her with a special cake to mark the occasion.
PHOTO 1 - We show 6 different photos that Jordan Polites took at the Spring Open House and posted on the MAGNA Facebook page. Thanks Jordan, for allowing us to share your photos with our Inner Circle readers.
MATT BLAIR ORIGINAL ARTWORK -
Unfortunately, our No Reserve Auction was the last part of the program and we did not start to auction any of Matt Blair’s original Turbo Regal artwork until the very end of the Auction. Because of this, some people had already left, so we weren’t able to explain the various illustrations properly. So, we have a number of original artwork that can be purchased at a set price. The actual artwork pictured is all about the same size -14 inches by 12 inches. Each one has been professionally matted and wrapped in plastic to prevent damage, as shown in Photo 2. These are the original illustrations.
PHOTO 2 - We show 4 different original Matt Blair Turbo Regal cartoons from the 1990s that he did for us. We will probably feature 4 more in next week’s Inner Circle. Each of these original illustrations is listed for sale in our Rare Parts section.
SPOOLFOOL DRIP-LIP - NEW PRODUCT -
The new product - Spoolfool Drip-Lip - that Mike made was also a hit. The few we had in stock quickly sold and we took orders for ones we have on order. This Spoolfool Drip-Lip replaces the stock dust cover and keeps oil from dripping on the ground by trapping it in a special tray that attaches to the bottom of this custom-made cover. It has a removable cloth that absorbs any oil that would normally drip and stain your floor or driveway. This fiberglass dust cover replaces the factory dust cover. You simply reuse the factory bolts and install this dust cover in place of the plastic or metal one.
This is a clever product that Mike has been working on for the last 2 years. Watch for final pricing next week.
PHOTO 3 - The photos on the left show this Spoolfool Drip-Lip cover that Mike now has in production. The photo on the right shows the Drip-Lip on the left and an original cover on the right as a comparison. The small cloth on the Drip-Lip that catches any oil from dripping is easy to remove and replace when it becomes fully soaked. Like all of Mike’s fiberglass products, the quality is excellent. You use the original factory bolts and simply switch this out with the factory dust cover. It will be on our website soon.
2004 CADILLAC CTS-V - FOR SALE -
We now have this unique 2004 Cadillac CTS-V for sale at our warehouse. The CTS-V has always been garaged and has never been smoked in. I know the past two owners. The last owner recently passed away and I am selling it for his wife who can’t drive a manual shift car. It has only gone 3,000 miles in the last 3 years. The car has 91,000 miles on it. The car is absolutely show quality inside and out. It does not look like it has that many miles on it. The price is $9,995. Since I have a salesman license, a partial trade would be considered. This would save you a portion of the Pennsylvania sales tax, if you are a resident of Pennsylvania. The car is well optioned. It has the latest Pennsylvania inspection and the tires are like new.
PHOTO 4 - We show four photos of this 2004 Cadillac CTS-V. You can email me direct [email protected] for more information and photos.

1985-1987 Buick GRAND NATIONAL -
ONE-PIECE BUCKET SEAT COVER
Because the original grey and black pallex Grand National seat material is so costly, here is a simple and inexpensive method to protect it.
We offer a one-piece form-fitting seat cover for the front bucket seat. No tools are required and it’s easy to clean. You simply slide it over the seat. It can be removed easily.
This seat cover has the same two-color color (black and grey) design, so it looks like it was made specifically for the Grand National.
The durable and breathable material is double nylon mesh cloth with 2mm thick sponge in the middle. The spandex back provides a universal fit that conforms to the Grand National’s bucket seat.
It’s an inexpensive investment to protect your Grand National bucket seats from damage.
To purchase one cover, order #7821. To order two covers, order #7822.
Another excellent way to protect the seats.

Also, we are still buying dead or partially dead 1984-1987 Turbo Regals under $4,000 that are within 250 to 350 miles of our location.
NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -
We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.
When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.
Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer. If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.
You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be use you are using the current version.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
ABOUT OUR EMAILS -
Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me direct - [email protected] - I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again. Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.
IN CLOSING -
I went home Saturday after the Spring Open House exhausted and took a nap. I am very grateful for such a huge turnout and I hope those that came enjoyed it. Thanks for coming.
RESULTS FROM OUR KIRBAN SPRING OPEN HOUSE -
Although it was cool in the early morning hours, the weather for our Open House was absolutely picture perfect. The turn-out was one of the biggest we have had in recent years. According to Jason, at one point in the day he counted 75 Turbo Regals in attendance and 4 real GNX cars. This is in addition to several other performance muscle cars.
It was great seeing many familiar faces and there were quite a few people that came for the first time to one of our events. The winner of the 50/50 drawing took home a little over $400 in cash! Nicholas Stillo won the M&Ms contest. It took almost 2 hours to hand out all the great door prizes. In addition to our door prizes, many vendors we deal with had sent us lots of items to raffle off. Special thanks to all those who generously contributed. The No Reserve Auction bidding was hot and heavy on many of the unique items we had, including the prototype banners.
There were quite a few cars from the MAGNA group. We appreciate your club coming to our events. Also, several cars came from Brooklyn and other parts of New York.
If you are on Facebook, out the terrific photos and videos posted on the “Mid-Atlantic Grand National Association (MAGNA)” group.
As you can imagine my wife, Eileen was quite surprised as many people brought her a 50th Anniversary card. She had no idea I had planned this surprise for her. Russ and Nancy presented her with a special cake to mark the occasion.

NOTE - ABOUT LINKS IN THE INNER CIRCLE -
We have heard from a couple people that have had problems with the links in our Inner Circle.
When we check the links, they work fine. However, if you are not able to be directed to the exact website page or internet site, you can "copy" and "paste" the link into the URL in your browser (such as Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) If it doesn't link in one browser, it may work in another.
Most people having problems are using Internet Explorer. If you are having issues with links, try another browser to see if it works.
You may need to "UPDATE" your browser to be use you are using the current version.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS ON THE WEBSITE -
We have heard from a couple people that have viewed the photos on the website. Because these must be low-resolution photos to work on the Inner Circle segments on the website, any photos of text don't appear clear when enlarged. This is a problem when you are trying to see numbers, such as those on the VIN labels or pages from Options booklet. Also, because of photo reproduction and computer screen variations, the colors may not be true to the actual product or photo.
If you would like to have us email you any photo at the higher resolution for viewing, just email us and we will email them to you. Be sure to be specific on which pictures you want to see - Reference Inner Circle date and photo number 1, 2, 3 or 4 - [email protected]
ABOUT OUR EMAILS -
Any inquiries concerning used parts, you must email me direct - [email protected] - I will answer you. However, if I fail to answer you within 24 hours, please email us again. Since expanding into used parts, I get a lot of emails and sometimes I may forget your request or may not remember who requested the item.
IN CLOSING -
I went home Saturday after the Spring Open House exhausted and took a nap. I am very grateful for such a huge turnout and I hope those that came enjoyed it. Thanks for coming.
