Greetings Turbo Regal Inner Circle Members 11-23-2022 - KIRBAN PERFORMANCE BLACK FRIDAY SALE ENDS THIS FRIDAY - Kirban Performance will offer free shipping on any orders over $200 to the 48 states. An exception is any large item that requires truck shipping is not included. Black Friday sale ends November 25th Friday night 12 midnite. Enjoy your Thanksgiving feast and football. As I write this I am not sure if the website can process the order properly and not charge for shipping. However, if shipping is charged it will be promptly credited back to your account. Because of the timing of the release of our new Turbo Regal banner we are introducing, the price is $44.95 including shipping that price is fixed. This is because there are currently 3 companies selling it initially. Kirban Performance, Kirban Enterprises, and the actual artist that did the artwork Danny Whitfield. All 3 companies have it priced the same at $44.95 which includes shipping. I am filling ALL the orders for the banners for all 3 companies from my Pennsylvania location. One reason is because these new 13 ounce vinyl banners are made locally for my company Kirban Enterprises. Also I am personally autographing each one regardless of where you purchase it. I have an unbeatable price structure with this company that does our banners.! I know the owner personally. The part number for the new Turbo Regal banner is #8038. It is in stock! All orders no matter which of the 3 companies currently offering it you buy from are all shipped from my Pennsylvania location! Shipping is done in 2 days. You can order from the Kirban Performance website #8038. Go to kirbanperformance.com Again I will be shipping them for Kirban Performance from my Pennsylvania location. So there will be NO delays from any of these three companies. The price including shipping no matter where you buy it is just $44.95. To order from Kirban Enterprises, simply email me [email protected] However, keep in mind I only accept paypal. The artist Danny Whitfield has some impressive credentials having done work in the past for GM-Ford-Chrysler- Corvette Museum, Revelle and Monogram model companies as well. He has done some of the artwork for the models. The quickest way to go to his site is click on the link below https://www.dannywhitfield.com/buick_kirban_members.html Once you do under the word code type in DSK449. Another option is click on the link below to go directly to see the new Turbo Regal banner he did for us. Buick Grand National |1985 | Art Prints by Danny Whitfield You can purchase it directly from him if you want. Again the banner will be signed by me and shipped by me with the bad To The Bone decal included. PHOTO 1 - This shows the actual Turbo Regal vinyl Banner 1 foot by 3 foot with the four metal eyelets and with the Bad To The Bone decal. My autograph appears to the far lower right alongside my copyright and Danny Whitfield printed signature. PERSONALIZE YOUR CAR PRINT - Danny Whitfield offers custom automotive artwork and car prints to meet your exact specifications. Why settle for a generic print when you can get every option the car came with, backgrounds, wheels, tires, hood scoops, stripes, body colors, and numerous other components to look precisely like the car you have. I like the fact as you can see below where our one customer Anthony Colucci, owner of the WE4, had Danny put in the background of his car. It was Anthony that helped me with some of the details I needed on the WE4 used on our new Turbo Regal banner. Simply Click on the link below for more details. https://www.dannywhitfield.com/custom-print.html Be sure to mention you are a customer of Kirban Performance. PHOTO 2 - Shows Anthony's WE4 Turbo Regal with a cool background. It also shows a Grand National with a different background. Ideas of various backgrounds are unlimited. With the holidays approaching this makes for a one of a kind gift. 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX FOR SALE - We picked up this past week an extremely nice example of a 2010 Equinox. This SUV is Kirban Quality before I even detailed it. Option loaded including black leather seats and satellite radio. It is 2 wheel drive. The body is close to perfect and shines like new. No dents, no scratches and less than 5 door dings! The interior is like new! The only wear which is very minor is to the driver's seat. You can count the door dings on one hand and they are on the roof! The spare has never been used. Zero rust under any of the doors. The alloy stock wheels if you boxed them in GM boxes you could almost sell them for new. You can tell the owner(s) took extremely good care of this SUV. The condition of the paint I can only assume it was garaged. Actual miles is 223,000. Records show the engine was replaced at the Chevrolet dealership in Maryland at 66,000 miles. So I assume actual miles are around 160,000 on the engine. A one owner religiously serviced mainly by a Chevrolet dealership. Shows 63 records listed on carfax. Asking $5995.00 Email me [email protected] for more photos. PHOTO 3 - We show 4 views of this dark gray 2010 Equinox. This SUV is in remarkable shape. Drives excellent. TWO PICTURES FROM MY PHOTO LIBRARY - The first photo shown below was done by the last cartoonist we used several years ago. I don’t believe I ever used it. The artist was Fred Boatman who since then has passed away. It captures in great detail the one crowning part that captured the reason many of you bought a Turbo Regal - the 3.8 SFI Turbo Engine. The other two photos I took years ago at a parking lot just outside one of the major Carlisle events. It appears this person was not going to be deterred in getting his recent purchase of a rear assembly back home. I did not witness how he even got it up on the roof of his car. It was surely not put on the roof by two people! I have no doubt the rear assembly will leave a major impression on the roof of his car. A bigger concern is the owner only has one single thin strap securing the rear assembly to the roof of the car! This is not a car you want to follow going down the highway! PHOTO 4 - We show one of the last cartoons Fred Boatman the cartoonist did for me several years ago that I never used. The other photos show what some people will do in order to get their purchase back home with little regard to safety concerns or damage to the family car! A good example of what NOT to do! I am sure most of us have seen similar disregards on the highway. FALL BLOW OUT - #8020 GN EMBLEM EMBOSSED METAL SIGNS STILL SEVERAL LEFT - Normal retail on this embossed metal sign was $249.95. Now while our initial supply lasts, pay just $179 with free shipping included to the basic 48 states.

Great Christmas gift to keep hidden from your spouse. Quality is excellent. It is GM licensed and Made in the USA. The size is 34 inches by 12 inches. See Photo 2 below for a picture of this Grand National Embossed Metal Sign. GOT TURBO REGAL PARTS TO SELL? - We are always in the market for buying collections if you have sold your car. Granted we will not pay retail but it can be far easier and quicker to sell everything at one time rather than deal with all the questions you get from any advertising you do. We can also set up someone to pick up the parts if it's a distance from my location and you can't ship. HERE IS A COMPLETE RUN DOWN ON THE CARS I CURRENTLY REPRESENT - In each case email me specifically which car perks your interest.

My email is [email protected] WE CAN MARKET YOUR CAR - When the time comes you need to downsize or simply move on. We can market your car for you. Especially now with Spring and Summer fast approaching. We handle the advertising and answering the questions and weeding out the tire kickers. We never give out the exact location of your car. You decide on the price after any bargaining is done. The money goes directly from the buyer to your bank account. I have a flat commission based on the price span. This format has worked out very well for me for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer has more confidence about the car especially if you are a long time owner and a customer of ours. . The seller is not bothered with phone calls or emails. Most potential buyers know who I am. So whenever the time comes you want to sell your car, email me the particulars. I can explain the process to you which also allows you to sell the car as well. My email is [email protected] I can also help you determine the price. I can also take in a trade and pay you the seller the difference. I have worked with JJ Best in the past which is quite generous in granting loans. So you have plenty of options. We also work with a broker that can handle transport both open and enclosed. This transport broker is a customer of ours and owns personally a 9,000 mile Grand National! He just had the last 3 cars I sold transported to their new homes! The car needs not be a Turbo Regal.

We need cores now. Or we will pay $135 cash for each complete stock turbo core.

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 used if 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.
