Greetings Turbo Regal Inner Circle Members 06-10-2020 –
UPDATE ON DELIVERIES AND SHIPMENTS –
The supply chains are still lagging in timely deliveries. FED EX, UPS, and USPS have had vast increases in shipments, which has also caused delays in deliveries.
ORIGINAL SET OF FOUR 1986-1987 GRAND NATIONAL WHEELS - FOR SALE –
Darrell just brought me a set of 4 real nice 1986-1987 Grand National wheels to sell for him. He has had these stored inside one of his buildings for several years. They are listed for sale under the Rare Parts section.
PHOTO 1- We show four views of the set of 4 original Grand National wheels, and the set of four center caps. All the wheels look the same as far as quality and shine. They are in very nice condition. Wheels are not show quality, but very nice original driver quality.
LT1 MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR -
The supply of replacement rebuilt original metal LT1 mass air flow sensor has started to dry up. Buick owners never had a LT1 mass air sensor core to return since it was never a part on the 1986-1987 Turbo Regal models.
One manufacturer now makes them brand new in plastic. They come with a short adapter plug so they will plug into the translator like the original. Because they are plastic, they are actually a full pound lighter over the original metal LT1 mass air flow sensor.
One of our customers a few years back makes a nice bracket to secure the translator under the hood so it is secured. The part number for the translator is #7326. The part number for the LT1 mass air flow sensor is #7342. The part number for the translator bracket is #7785. This combination has become very popular in recent years since original mass air flow sensors are starting to fail.
PHOTO 2 – We show both the original metal LT1 mass air flow sensor alongside the new plastic replacement. The price structure remains unchanged. You still may get the original metal one as we still get a few in stock once in a while, but more than likely it will be the new plastic mass air flow sensor. The new replacement LT1 mass air flow sensor may not yet be pictured on our website. The original metal one may still be shown.
SPID LABEL – OPTIONS CODES –
Most of these codes on the SPID label refer to the options in the car. These codes were not just codes for options, but also listed specific features. The other codes on the SPID label refers to specific suspension parts as well as other standard features. I think of the 325-plus Turbo Regals that passed through my hands, I had fewer than 5 that had crank windows and at most 2 that had no tilt column. Those two options alone were very common. If you look at the SPID label (also referred to as the “trunk ID” label) it has all the codes listed in alphabetical order.
Most of these codes refer to the options in the car. For example, a low-optioned Turbo Regal may have fewer than 50 codes listed. On a well-optioned Turbo Regal the number of codes could be 95 or more in some cases. These codes were not just codes for options, but it also listed specific features. The other codes on the SPID label refers to specific suspension parts as well as other standard features.
In one of my recent dealings I acquired a very interesting book – 1929 THRU 1978 GM NUMERICAL ACCESSORY PARTS LIST. Unfortunately, it only covers all the Chevrolet models from 1929 thru 1978. In that time span, they listed 6,000 parts with the factory part number, the year Chevrolet, the model, and a brief description about the accessory. Accessory is just another word for option. The booklet is 335 pages long.
Although it is not Buick related I found it fascinating reading. For example, in 1950-1953 they had an optional shaver available. In 1952, they offered a woman’s and a man’s garment bag. Again, options I never realized GM offered. Floor mats and cigarette lighters are two very popular options that had different part numbers almost every year.
In my opinion, the most unusual option was a vacuum controlled system to remove cigarette smoke from the ashtray into a canister. It’s true, this was a dealer installed option. Actually it has been reproduced and I did see one for sale on ebay for $599. Probably to a 1957 Chevrolet owner, this would be one of the rarest options available or it could definitely be the most unusual.
The real trick is not to let anyone smoke in your car which would eliminate the need for that option. But remember that smoking was quite popular during the time frame of mid-1950s. Doctors were not exactly doing warnings on TV as to the harm cigarettes can do over the course of many years of heavy usage.
It’s a cool book that puts every possible option Chevrolet offered in all their models from 1929 thru 1978.
PHOTO 3 - We show this book and two of the typical pages from the book. The book is listed for sale under the Rare Parts section.
THE HISTORY OF MY BLACK HAT –
The black hat I wear has been my trademark since the late 1970s. I know that to be true because it was part of my logo on my tow trucks. I have always been a Clint Eastwood fan and in some of his western movies he wore a similar hat. Clint just celebrated his 90th birthday.
I only wear one style black hat. It is a Stetson Gun Club model. The first hat I wore for so many years was so worn out that it even had a huge rip on the lip of the brim. My Dad surprised me one year by having it bronzed and mounted. I am probably on my 4th Stetson Gun Club hat by now.
PHOTO 4 – The photo in the top left shows a picture of the side of my 1973 Ford pickup with the hat as part of the logo on the door. The top right photo shows a license plate we had made years ago for our tow trucks. The bottom left photo shows me alongside our 1985 Mustang GT. Notice the GNX-style wheels on the car. The bottom right photo shows me when my Dad presented me with my first black hat bronzed. Originally, he had it designed to hold a lamp. Later I would remove the lamp part and for the last dozen years it has hung in my pole building above my work table. It is something I will always cherish.
2003 BUICK RENDEZVOUS FWD CXL - FOR SALE –
This is a real nice example of a 2003 Buick Renezvous. As I write this week’s Inner Circle, the dealership has had the Buick inspected. It required new rear brake pads and 4 new tires.
This 2003 Buick Rendezvous is unusual for several reasons. One reason is that it was traded in at O’Neil Buick, which is the dealership I sold over 325 Turbo Regals though over the years and at one time I held a sales license with Mike O’Neil. Mike and his brother run a bid lot auction every 2 weeks. Another reason is that it is in extremely nice original condition whereas many bid cars of that vintage are in poor shape.
Bid lot cars generally are at the low end of the market, but every so often a Kirban-quality car shows up. Over the years, I have bought two to keep. I also found one that our granddaughter uses at college. This is one of those vehicles. Like other cars we have purchased that were extremely nice, this one was also owned by a woman.
This is a two-owner SUV. Unlike most that were bought to haul kids or pets, this Buick shows no signs of neglect. Most of the seating looks like they were never sat in. It is the top-of-the line model with both front seats 6-way power and heated. It has leather seating and has the optional 3 row seat. It even has the original Window Sticker which was still in the glove box. I see no evidence of any paint work. It looks like it was garaged most of its life. Mileage is 96,000. Comes with a 3-month warranty.
It has that popular two-tone exterior against a medium oak tan leather interior. Interior is close to mint. No wear issues on any of the knobs. The steering wheel looks like it was installed 2 months ago, it is that nice. The door jambs shine as bright as the exterior does.
It will have the latest PA inspection. The price is $3,895. the interior. The vehicle is located about 10 minutes from our home in Kintnersville, PA. If you are local and looking for a low-end SUV, you would be hard pressed to find a better one for this price.

1997 MUSTANG COBRA - FOR SALE –
This car has been sold.
UPDATE ON NEW GRAND NATIONAL T-SHIRTS AND HATS –

NEW PRODUCTS FROM US –
1984-1987 Buick Turbo Regal -
SEMI-BLACK EXTERIOR TRIM SPRAY PAINT
This spray paint is semi-black and is an excellent color match for the black-out trim moldings that was used on certain Turbo Regal models.
It is made by the same company that color matches the grey, dark blue, burgundy paint we also sell from this same source.
It dries within minutes. While many variations of semi-black exist we found this to be a very close match. Remember, no paint color is going to match trim that has been exposed for over 30 years of sun and weather.
This is ideal to do the taillight trim parts and the plastic headlight bezels.
NOTE - You may also be interested in these other spray paints - #7419 - Aluminum Grey Last Blast High Temperature Formula Spray Paint and #6822 - Interior Spray Paint (grey, dark blue or burgundy
NOTE - Spray paint can ONLY be shipped by UPS GROUND… because of restrictions, we CANNOT ship paint by AIR.
Another excellent product for any restoration.
Here is a link to this semi-black spary paint on our website.

The reproduction Air Cleaner Decal measures 1-5/16″ x 1-1/4″ and is white with black lettering, which is the identical size and color as the original.
It goes on the side of the top portion of the metal factory air cleaner box. There is no precise location but generally can be found on the side towards the driver’s fender.
The reproduction Brake Switch Recall Decal measures 2″ x 1″ and is white with black lettering, which is the identical size and color as the original.
There was no exact placement for where the Service Department would put the Recall decal showing it was completed. Generally, it was put on the core support near the Belt Routing decal. A date was written in along with the other related information, which showed the recall was completed. The recall related to the powermaster brake switch was not issued until the fall of 1990.
NOTE - You may also be interested in these related parts - #6502 Reproduction “ACCESSORY BELT ROUTING” Decal, #6507 Reproduction “FAN CAUTION” Decal, and #6537 STOCK Replacement K & N Air Filter.

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] - and 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.

UPDATE ON DELIVERIES AND SHIPMENTS –
The supply chains are still lagging in timely deliveries. FED EX, UPS, and USPS have had vast increases in shipments, which has also caused delays in deliveries.
ORIGINAL SET OF FOUR 1986-1987 GRAND NATIONAL WHEELS - FOR SALE –
Darrell just brought me a set of 4 real nice 1986-1987 Grand National wheels to sell for him. He has had these stored inside one of his buildings for several years. They are listed for sale under the Rare Parts section.
PHOTO 1- We show four views of the set of 4 original Grand National wheels, and the set of four center caps. All the wheels look the same as far as quality and shine. They are in very nice condition. Wheels are not show quality, but very nice original driver quality.
LT1 MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR -
The supply of replacement rebuilt original metal LT1 mass air flow sensor has started to dry up. Buick owners never had a LT1 mass air sensor core to return since it was never a part on the 1986-1987 Turbo Regal models.
One manufacturer now makes them brand new in plastic. They come with a short adapter plug so they will plug into the translator like the original. Because they are plastic, they are actually a full pound lighter over the original metal LT1 mass air flow sensor.
One of our customers a few years back makes a nice bracket to secure the translator under the hood so it is secured. The part number for the translator is #7326. The part number for the LT1 mass air flow sensor is #7342. The part number for the translator bracket is #7785. This combination has become very popular in recent years since original mass air flow sensors are starting to fail.
PHOTO 2 – We show both the original metal LT1 mass air flow sensor alongside the new plastic replacement. The price structure remains unchanged. You still may get the original metal one as we still get a few in stock once in a while, but more than likely it will be the new plastic mass air flow sensor. The new replacement LT1 mass air flow sensor may not yet be pictured on our website. The original metal one may still be shown.
SPID LABEL – OPTIONS CODES –
Most of these codes on the SPID label refer to the options in the car. These codes were not just codes for options, but also listed specific features. The other codes on the SPID label refers to specific suspension parts as well as other standard features. I think of the 325-plus Turbo Regals that passed through my hands, I had fewer than 5 that had crank windows and at most 2 that had no tilt column. Those two options alone were very common. If you look at the SPID label (also referred to as the “trunk ID” label) it has all the codes listed in alphabetical order.
Most of these codes refer to the options in the car. For example, a low-optioned Turbo Regal may have fewer than 50 codes listed. On a well-optioned Turbo Regal the number of codes could be 95 or more in some cases. These codes were not just codes for options, but it also listed specific features. The other codes on the SPID label refers to specific suspension parts as well as other standard features.
In one of my recent dealings I acquired a very interesting book – 1929 THRU 1978 GM NUMERICAL ACCESSORY PARTS LIST. Unfortunately, it only covers all the Chevrolet models from 1929 thru 1978. In that time span, they listed 6,000 parts with the factory part number, the year Chevrolet, the model, and a brief description about the accessory. Accessory is just another word for option. The booklet is 335 pages long.
Although it is not Buick related I found it fascinating reading. For example, in 1950-1953 they had an optional shaver available. In 1952, they offered a woman’s and a man’s garment bag. Again, options I never realized GM offered. Floor mats and cigarette lighters are two very popular options that had different part numbers almost every year.
In my opinion, the most unusual option was a vacuum controlled system to remove cigarette smoke from the ashtray into a canister. It’s true, this was a dealer installed option. Actually it has been reproduced and I did see one for sale on ebay for $599. Probably to a 1957 Chevrolet owner, this would be one of the rarest options available or it could definitely be the most unusual.
The real trick is not to let anyone smoke in your car which would eliminate the need for that option. But remember that smoking was quite popular during the time frame of mid-1950s. Doctors were not exactly doing warnings on TV as to the harm cigarettes can do over the course of many years of heavy usage.
It’s a cool book that puts every possible option Chevrolet offered in all their models from 1929 thru 1978.
PHOTO 3 - We show this book and two of the typical pages from the book. The book is listed for sale under the Rare Parts section.
THE HISTORY OF MY BLACK HAT –
The black hat I wear has been my trademark since the late 1970s. I know that to be true because it was part of my logo on my tow trucks. I have always been a Clint Eastwood fan and in some of his western movies he wore a similar hat. Clint just celebrated his 90th birthday.
I only wear one style black hat. It is a Stetson Gun Club model. The first hat I wore for so many years was so worn out that it even had a huge rip on the lip of the brim. My Dad surprised me one year by having it bronzed and mounted. I am probably on my 4th Stetson Gun Club hat by now.
PHOTO 4 – The photo in the top left shows a picture of the side of my 1973 Ford pickup with the hat as part of the logo on the door. The top right photo shows a license plate we had made years ago for our tow trucks. The bottom left photo shows me alongside our 1985 Mustang GT. Notice the GNX-style wheels on the car. The bottom right photo shows me when my Dad presented me with my first black hat bronzed. Originally, he had it designed to hold a lamp. Later I would remove the lamp part and for the last dozen years it has hung in my pole building above my work table. It is something I will always cherish.
2003 BUICK RENDEZVOUS FWD CXL - FOR SALE –
This is a real nice example of a 2003 Buick Renezvous. As I write this week’s Inner Circle, the dealership has had the Buick inspected. It required new rear brake pads and 4 new tires.
This 2003 Buick Rendezvous is unusual for several reasons. One reason is that it was traded in at O’Neil Buick, which is the dealership I sold over 325 Turbo Regals though over the years and at one time I held a sales license with Mike O’Neil. Mike and his brother run a bid lot auction every 2 weeks. Another reason is that it is in extremely nice original condition whereas many bid cars of that vintage are in poor shape.
Bid lot cars generally are at the low end of the market, but every so often a Kirban-quality car shows up. Over the years, I have bought two to keep. I also found one that our granddaughter uses at college. This is one of those vehicles. Like other cars we have purchased that were extremely nice, this one was also owned by a woman.
This is a two-owner SUV. Unlike most that were bought to haul kids or pets, this Buick shows no signs of neglect. Most of the seating looks like they were never sat in. It is the top-of-the line model with both front seats 6-way power and heated. It has leather seating and has the optional 3 row seat. It even has the original Window Sticker which was still in the glove box. I see no evidence of any paint work. It looks like it was garaged most of its life. Mileage is 96,000. Comes with a 3-month warranty.
It has that popular two-tone exterior against a medium oak tan leather interior. Interior is close to mint. No wear issues on any of the knobs. The steering wheel looks like it was installed 2 months ago, it is that nice. The door jambs shine as bright as the exterior does.
It will have the latest PA inspection. The price is $3,895. the interior. The vehicle is located about 10 minutes from our home in Kintnersville, PA. If you are local and looking for a low-end SUV, you would be hard pressed to find a better one for this price.

NEW PRODUCTS FROM US –
1984-1987 Buick Turbo Regal -
SEMI-BLACK EXTERIOR TRIM SPRAY PAINT
This spray paint is semi-black and is an excellent color match for the black-out trim moldings that was used on certain Turbo Regal models.
It is made by the same company that color matches the grey, dark blue, burgundy paint we also sell from this same source.
It dries within minutes. While many variations of semi-black exist we found this to be a very close match. Remember, no paint color is going to match trim that has been exposed for over 30 years of sun and weather.
This is ideal to do the taillight trim parts and the plastic headlight bezels.
NOTE - You may also be interested in these other spray paints - #7419 - Aluminum Grey Last Blast High Temperature Formula Spray Paint and #6822 - Interior Spray Paint (grey, dark blue or burgundy
NOTE - Spray paint can ONLY be shipped by UPS GROUND… because of restrictions, we CANNOT ship paint by AIR.
Another excellent product for any restoration.
Here is a link to this semi-black spary paint on our website.

It goes on the side of the top portion of the metal factory air cleaner box. There is no precise location but generally can be found on the side towards the driver’s fender.
The reproduction Brake Switch Recall Decal measures 2″ x 1″ and is white with black lettering, which is the identical size and color as the original.
There was no exact placement for where the Service Department would put the Recall decal showing it was completed. Generally, it was put on the core support near the Belt Routing decal. A date was written in along with the other related information, which showed the recall was completed. The recall related to the powermaster brake switch was not issued until the fall of 1990.

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]
