Greetings Turbo Regal Inner Circle Members 12-22-2021 -
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS -
Hard to believe we've been doing this since 1988. Actually in the automotive mail order business since 1978. Call it luck we picked two performance cars that have both gained in value and popularity the GTO followed by the Turbo Regal. Remember the quote my Dad would use “Your Health is your Wealth”. The last several years have proven that is what we all really want is good health.
ANNOUNCING OUR CHRISTMAS M&M CONTEST WINNER --
This year's winner is long time customer Rich Mukalian. He is fairly local to us. His brother is also a customer of ours but his guess was not nearly as close! Rich remembers meeting me for the first time at the huge Johnsville Airbase in 1990. That was over 40years ago! Molly signed his Turbo-T trunk label which he still owns along with a 2010 Caddy CTSV and a 1978 L82 Indy Pace Car. The actual count was 1,310. Rich’s guess was 1,238. Congrats to Rich.
NEXT CONTEST COMING SOON -
The next contest will be to guess the hammered price on the last GN built later in January. The last Grand National built is one of the Premier cars at the Scottsdale Arizona Barrett-Jackson Auction in late January. It's one of the top cars I believe of the top 30 they heavily promote. It is expected to fetch the most ever for a Grand National.
HOLIDAY SCHEDULE -
We are closed tomorrow and friday. Likewise next Thursday and Friday. We have a limited staff next week Monday thru Wednesday. Also remember NO weekly Inner Circle next week. It's the one week I take off every year.
OUR LATEST PRODUCTS -
We now have available two different Turbo Regal T-shirts. Our latest is the “Black Air” T-shirt. The wording is silk screened in white on the front with a Turbo Regal outlined and the words ``WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BLACK CARS?” The back features the Turbo-6 logo and the words “BLACK AIR THE BUICK GRAND NATIONAL DOCUMENTARY”. Available in two sizes #7969L large and #7968XL extra large. The price is $28.95, We also have the GNX & GRAND NATIONAL black T-shirt. The design is silk screened on the back. On the front in the upper left area is the Grand National logo. Available in 3 sizes L, XL, and XXL. These run $24.95 for large, $24.95 for XL and $26.95 for XXL. All these shirts are currently in stock. Note: On the shirts be sure to check the size you want as the part number is the same for all the sizes.
One of our newest additions in the clothing line is this cool looking black beanie style cap. Embroidered in 3 colors the quote “BAD TO THE BONE”. The 3 colors are red black and grey. The workmanship on the embroidery is some of the best you will ever see. It is so crisp it almost looks like it was printed on the beanie cap. Unlike the terrible job Buick did on the Power Six logo on the Grand National headrests! That is so threadbare looking! Part #7967 the price is $21.95. It is also currently in stock. Along with the beanie cap we also brought back the popular BAD TO THE BONE decal as well. It is this exact font style that we used on the decal that the Beanie cap embroidery work was done from. The decal is Part #7968 the price is $4.00 each.
PHOTO 1 - The top left photo shows the GNX & GRAND NATIONAL T-shirt. The top right photo shows the new Black Air T-shirt. The bottom left photo shows the BAD TO THE BONE decal. The bottom right photo shows our new Beanie hat with the Bad to the Bone embroidered on the front. All these items are now in stock.
IMPRINT ON ACRYLIC -
The local company that does our contest display awards, I took him a few different prints to see how they would look. I had to see how they would look on acrylic. I had 2 of each done. I have no plans to make any more. So these would be extremely rare. They can be found under the Rare Parts section for sale.
PHOTO 2 - The top left is the popular Bad Medicine sweat shirt design. The top right is the artwork I had done years ago for one of our Reunion events. I had the Bad to the Bone decal added in the bottom right of the artwork. The bottom left is a reproduction of one of the very few ASC ads for the GNX. The bottom right is a factory Buick print of the part under the hood that makes these cars so special the 3.8 SFI Turbo engine. Again I have only 2 of each of these. I can get more made but between material costs and shipping everything is so much more money now. If you are not a member of the Inner Circle you can’t see the prices nor know if they sold. Email me [email protected] as I only have 2 of each. These are all on acrylic material. See the Rare Parts section for prices.
PHOTO 3 - The top left shows a really nice original intercooler shroud. The top right shows 7 original Hallmark Christmas tree diecast cars with their boxes. The bottom left photo shows the original box, a 1986 Designer Series 1:18 scale diecast car. The bottom right we show a 1987 Turbo-T in blue. See the Rare Parts section for prices.
PHOTO 4 - The top left photo shows one of the old ATR 7th injector holders. Piece of history for sure. The top right shows 2 blue lited visors. Notice the lite insert is different. It appears Buick used two different types during the Turbo years. Even “Kirban '' never knew this until I got these 2 side by side. One is actually 1 inch longer than the other. The bottom left shows a metal gold Buick Regal license plate and a metal ASC license plate. The bottom right we show two different Grand National license plates. These are both metal. Appears to be a decal on them. All these can be found under the rare parts section for sale.
TWO MORE LOADS OF TURBO REGAL PARTS ARRIVED -
Some of you may recall the huge inventory of NOS parts we bought earlier this year where our customer stashed everything in a bedroom in his parents 100 year old house. Some of these parts are under the Rare Parts section this week. Ironically at the time the seller had contacted another Turbo Regal supplier that was located closer to them than I am. They never got back to him! Not so much as a call! The two surviving brothers found another small stash of Buick NOS parts and they are enroute to me. Along with another stash of parts from the same source in Illinois as the one from a few weeks ago. It was great that both locations were near each other to make the trip worth it. Everything is so costly anymore between fuel, motels, and finding someone to make these trips for me. So look for some more parts come January in the Inner Circle.
CORRECT REPRODUCTION 3.8 SFI HOOD EMBLEMS NOW IN STOCK -
I just got these in our entire order of the correct looking 3.8 SFI hood emblems. Made in the USA. Again part #6556 for a pair (2) is $49.95 or part #7966 for 2 pairs is $89.95 you save $9.95. Smart money is to buy two pairs as unless you are really careful when washing and drying your car you will break the 3 off the emblem!
WIDE VARIETY OF INTERIOR PLASTIC TRIM PARTS -
We recently acquired several plastic bins packed with used 1984-1987 Turbo Regal interior plastic trim parts. Almost every imaginable plastic interior part including ECM covers, T-Top moldings, seat trim, a-pillar moldings in various colors, including door panel armrests, and pull straps. No actual door panels. Email me personally [email protected] with your requests. Good chance we will have it.
EXTERIOR TRIM PARTS -
I also have a wide variety of used black outside trim molding around the windshield and back glass and some used exterior Limited stainless moldings etc. We will not ship you must come to our location and pick out what you need.
EXTERIOR BODY PARTS -
We also have some exterior parts, core support, Turbo Regal hood, powder coated transmission mount, driveshaft, complete tilt steering column, 4 of the 1984-1985 Grand National wheels to name some of the bigger items we have. Again we will not ship. You must come to our location to buy them. We may ship the wheels.
IN STOCK REBUILT POWERMASTERS NO WAITING -
We got several rebuilt powermaster brake units in stock. It has been a long while since we had any in stock.
URGENT REQUEST -
We need suitable original 1986-1987 Turbo Regal turbo cores. We can either buy them for $150 or issue a letter of credit for each one. You must email me first [email protected] before sending any units. If you got a rebuilt turbo from us please pack up your core and send it to us to get your $150 back. We can’t continue to offer this part unless we get cores in return. Once we get some inventory we will not pay cash for them, only a letter of credit.

URGENT REQUEST -
We badly need the original not cracked 1986-1987 Turbo Regal AC Delco mass air flow sensors. Each core is worth a $40 letter of credit. Remember every core we get no matter what part it is we sometimes get ones that can’t be rebuilt. It's unfortunate, but true. It happens frequently with turbo cores especially. Also we need powermaster brake units and original 1986-1987 Turbos. We need cores to get rebuilt to help others maintain their cars. If the situation gets much worse it will force us to raise the price of cores as some customers are not returning them to get their core deposit back.
1993 GMC TYPHOON FOR SALE STILL AVAILABLE -
This 1993 GMC Typhoon is white with a black leather interior. Paint is original. Currently it has just 73,000 miles on it. It has the ATR upgraded Intercooler, a $2,000 upgrade.

NEW PRODUCTS FROM US –
“BAD TO THE BONE” EMBROIDERED BEANIE BLACK KNIT HAT
This black Beanie knit hat has the quote "Bad To The Bone" embroidered on it in the same design as our decal, part #7968.
Each black hat is embroidered in red, gray and black. The embroidery work is some of the best I have ever seen. It almost looks like it was printed on the material.
A prime example of poor embroidery work can be found on the Power Six logo on the Grand National bucket seat headrest. The embroidery on this hat is much sharper.
An excellent winter hat. Also makes a great gift.
7967 - “BAD TO THE BONE” Embroidered Beanie Black Knit Hat - $21.95

“BAD TO THE BONE” DECAL
This “BAD TO THE BONE”decal is similar to the one we sold years ago.
The script wording is red and black with a black shadow. The line between the words in the grey area is black.
The design is diecut with a self-adhesive backing. Each decal measures about 5-1/2" x 1-3/4”.
It is designed to fit in the area on the back window, just under the third brake light on the outside of the glass. It can also be used on other areas, on a tool box, or a car show display board.

REPRODUCTION "3.8 SFI TURBO" HOOD EMBLEMS
These reproduction 3.8 SFI Turbo emblems “Made in the USA” and are an exact reproduction with the black edge. These are made from the same mold that we had them made from over 10 years ago.
Emblems are made exactly like the original in chrome plastic with the black edging with a self-adhesive backing. These are 100% correct for all 1984-1987 Turbo Regal hoods.
They are packaged as a pair and measure approximately 10" by 5/8”.
We also offer a special price if you buy two sets, part #7067.
Because the emblems are plastic, it is easy to accidentally break the “3” off the left end of the emblem when washing or drying your car. It’s a good idea to keep a spare set in case a piece breaks off.
To my knowledge we have the only reproduction emblems that are “Made in the USA.”
NOTE - The trunk 3.8 SFI emblem is part #7510 and does not have the black edge.
Another excellent replacement for any exterior restoration.
Here are the 2 options for these emblems.

You can set the Rev Limit with this kit.
The unit mounts in the stock location. It is a heavy die-cast powder-coated aluminum enclosure. It has an Advanced 32bit microprocessor. It includes a built in 2-step Launch Control System and can be ran in either wastepark or sequential firing.

Fully plug-and-play with the stock vehicle harness.
This is a must have upgraded ignition system if you are making modifications to the stock format.
NOTE - Due to the complexity of this system, we recommended it be installed by a qualified mechanic.
An excellent upgrade to the ignition system.

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. 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 directly - [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.
IN CLOSING -
Remember, the weekly Inner Circle always goes out at 3 pm eastern time so subscribers all have the same equal chance on the Rare Parts. All our parts generally are priced to sell and below what others offer. Also our used items are exactly as described. Emails are acknowledged in the order we receive them regardless of when I respond as I am not always by a computer and I only use a flip phone. It's best to email as soon as possible as many of our items sell within the first hour! Do NOT call the office on the listed Rare Parts as you could lose out by someone beating you with an email. There is no Inner Circle email the week between Christmas and New Years. The one week I take off!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS -
Hard to believe we've been doing this since 1988. Actually in the automotive mail order business since 1978. Call it luck we picked two performance cars that have both gained in value and popularity the GTO followed by the Turbo Regal. Remember the quote my Dad would use “Your Health is your Wealth”. The last several years have proven that is what we all really want is good health.
ANNOUNCING OUR CHRISTMAS M&M CONTEST WINNER --
This year's winner is long time customer Rich Mukalian. He is fairly local to us. His brother is also a customer of ours but his guess was not nearly as close! Rich remembers meeting me for the first time at the huge Johnsville Airbase in 1990. That was over 40years ago! Molly signed his Turbo-T trunk label which he still owns along with a 2010 Caddy CTSV and a 1978 L82 Indy Pace Car. The actual count was 1,310. Rich’s guess was 1,238. Congrats to Rich.
NEXT CONTEST COMING SOON -
The next contest will be to guess the hammered price on the last GN built later in January. The last Grand National built is one of the Premier cars at the Scottsdale Arizona Barrett-Jackson Auction in late January. It's one of the top cars I believe of the top 30 they heavily promote. It is expected to fetch the most ever for a Grand National.
HOLIDAY SCHEDULE -
We are closed tomorrow and friday. Likewise next Thursday and Friday. We have a limited staff next week Monday thru Wednesday. Also remember NO weekly Inner Circle next week. It's the one week I take off every year.

One of our newest additions in the clothing line is this cool looking black beanie style cap. Embroidered in 3 colors the quote “BAD TO THE BONE”. The 3 colors are red black and grey. The workmanship on the embroidery is some of the best you will ever see. It is so crisp it almost looks like it was printed on the beanie cap. Unlike the terrible job Buick did on the Power Six logo on the Grand National headrests! That is so threadbare looking! Part #7967 the price is $21.95. It is also currently in stock. Along with the beanie cap we also brought back the popular BAD TO THE BONE decal as well. It is this exact font style that we used on the decal that the Beanie cap embroidery work was done from. The decal is Part #7968 the price is $4.00 each.
PHOTO 1 - The top left photo shows the GNX & GRAND NATIONAL T-shirt. The top right photo shows the new Black Air T-shirt. The bottom left photo shows the BAD TO THE BONE decal. The bottom right photo shows our new Beanie hat with the Bad to the Bone embroidered on the front. All these items are now in stock.
IMPRINT ON ACRYLIC -
The local company that does our contest display awards, I took him a few different prints to see how they would look. I had to see how they would look on acrylic. I had 2 of each done. I have no plans to make any more. So these would be extremely rare. They can be found under the Rare Parts section for sale.
PHOTO 2 - The top left is the popular Bad Medicine sweat shirt design. The top right is the artwork I had done years ago for one of our Reunion events. I had the Bad to the Bone decal added in the bottom right of the artwork. The bottom left is a reproduction of one of the very few ASC ads for the GNX. The bottom right is a factory Buick print of the part under the hood that makes these cars so special the 3.8 SFI Turbo engine. Again I have only 2 of each of these. I can get more made but between material costs and shipping everything is so much more money now. If you are not a member of the Inner Circle you can’t see the prices nor know if they sold. Email me [email protected] as I only have 2 of each. These are all on acrylic material. See the Rare Parts section for prices.
PHOTO 3 - The top left shows a really nice original intercooler shroud. The top right shows 7 original Hallmark Christmas tree diecast cars with their boxes. The bottom left photo shows the original box, a 1986 Designer Series 1:18 scale diecast car. The bottom right we show a 1987 Turbo-T in blue. See the Rare Parts section for prices.
PHOTO 4 - The top left photo shows one of the old ATR 7th injector holders. Piece of history for sure. The top right shows 2 blue lited visors. Notice the lite insert is different. It appears Buick used two different types during the Turbo years. Even “Kirban '' never knew this until I got these 2 side by side. One is actually 1 inch longer than the other. The bottom left shows a metal gold Buick Regal license plate and a metal ASC license plate. The bottom right we show two different Grand National license plates. These are both metal. Appears to be a decal on them. All these can be found under the rare parts section for sale.
TWO MORE LOADS OF TURBO REGAL PARTS ARRIVED -
Some of you may recall the huge inventory of NOS parts we bought earlier this year where our customer stashed everything in a bedroom in his parents 100 year old house. Some of these parts are under the Rare Parts section this week. Ironically at the time the seller had contacted another Turbo Regal supplier that was located closer to them than I am. They never got back to him! Not so much as a call! The two surviving brothers found another small stash of Buick NOS parts and they are enroute to me. Along with another stash of parts from the same source in Illinois as the one from a few weeks ago. It was great that both locations were near each other to make the trip worth it. Everything is so costly anymore between fuel, motels, and finding someone to make these trips for me. So look for some more parts come January in the Inner Circle.
CORRECT REPRODUCTION 3.8 SFI HOOD EMBLEMS NOW IN STOCK -
I just got these in our entire order of the correct looking 3.8 SFI hood emblems. Made in the USA. Again part #6556 for a pair (2) is $49.95 or part #7966 for 2 pairs is $89.95 you save $9.95. Smart money is to buy two pairs as unless you are really careful when washing and drying your car you will break the 3 off the emblem!

NEW PRODUCTS FROM US –
“BAD TO THE BONE” EMBROIDERED BEANIE BLACK KNIT HAT
This black Beanie knit hat has the quote "Bad To The Bone" embroidered on it in the same design as our decal, part #7968.
Each black hat is embroidered in red, gray and black. The embroidery work is some of the best I have ever seen. It almost looks like it was printed on the material.
A prime example of poor embroidery work can be found on the Power Six logo on the Grand National bucket seat headrest. The embroidery on this hat is much sharper.
An excellent winter hat. Also makes a great gift.

It is designed to fit in the area on the back window, just under the third brake light on the outside of the glass. It can also be used on other areas, on a tool box, or a car show display board.

REPRODUCTION "3.8 SFI TURBO" HOOD EMBLEMS
These reproduction 3.8 SFI Turbo emblems “Made in the USA” and are an exact reproduction with the black edge. These are made from the same mold that we had them made from over 10 years ago.
Emblems are made exactly like the original in chrome plastic with the black edging with a self-adhesive backing. These are 100% correct for all 1984-1987 Turbo Regal hoods.
They are packaged as a pair and measure approximately 10" by 5/8”.
We also offer a special price if you buy two sets, part #7067.
Because the emblems are plastic, it is easy to accidentally break the “3” off the left end of the emblem when washing or drying your car. It’s a good idea to keep a spare set in case a piece breaks off.
To my knowledge we have the only reproduction emblems that are “Made in the USA.”
NOTE - The trunk 3.8 SFI emblem is part #7510 and does not have the black edge.
Another excellent replacement for any exterior restoration.

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. 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 directly - [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.
IN CLOSING -
Remember, the weekly Inner Circle always goes out at 3 pm eastern time so subscribers all have the same equal chance on the Rare Parts. All our parts generally are priced to sell and below what others offer. Also our used items are exactly as described. Emails are acknowledged in the order we receive them regardless of when I respond as I am not always by a computer and I only use a flip phone. It's best to email as soon as possible as many of our items sell within the first hour! Do NOT call the office on the listed Rare Parts as you could lose out by someone beating you with an email. There is no Inner Circle email the week between Christmas and New Years. The one week I take off!
