1987 Buick Regal Limited Turbo - Muscle Car Memories | MotorWeek
Переглядів 21 тис.4 роки тому
A segment Joe produced for the TV show MotorWeek as part of their "Muscle Car Memories" series. The Buick Regal Grand National steals the spotlight in most discussions about 80's muscle cars, but for one year only Buick allowed buyers to outfit the luxurious Regal Limited with the same turbo V6 powertrain as the GN. The result was this velour-lined rocket.

still have my 1984 Eagle wagon, not shift on the fly.
You made one mistake in your video. Fossil fuels are going to be in use well after the lifetimes of every person on earth today.
The auto that bankrolled AMC. I heard of the list endearing nicknames the car was called. The pregnant roller skater being one of them.
What I really dont understand is why AMC agreed on a deal to sell Bricklin the 360 engines in the first place if they saw it as a threat to their own sales.
I've been peripherally aware of these but never saw one in this depth.
Got an 83 F250 6.9IDI. Same color scheme. Best truck ever! Not as powerful or as fancy as the new generations but it's reliable. Does exactly what I need it to do every-single-time without fail. Slow and steady. It's a grown folks truck.
Luxury sports coupe,not luxury race car
Great except you left out the Magnificent Torsion Bar suspension, it was fun! My dad would load up the back with cobble stones and the car would rise up and hey you could get that baby up and over 100...l would love to have one now!
Yes Low HP, 215, A Camry has that now with a 4 Cylinder power train. The torque though on the Imperial : 330.
i was introduced to the Pacer through the Goofy movie, since Goofy drove one
"Everybody that really wants one, gets one, and then what do you do to attract everyone else?" <- this will be the legacy of the Cybertruck.
Not an underdog .
All I can think about is my very fat teacher in elementary school getting i and out of her Pacer She bought it because it fit.
Spring 2025?! What happened to late 2024??
I love nature and believe in protecting the environment, but the EPA is typically unfair, biased, political, and a built in foe to American manufacturing...and weakening our ability to produce.
What about the deuzt ford's?
2 sports cars.
This is THE car. I got mine this year after years of saving. I live in Germany and I drive a lot of modern and luxurious cars at my job, but this is truly the golden one
I love that. Congratulations! It truly is the golden one! I'd love to see a photo of your car.
Another reason for the low horsepower figures was the switch to net ratings instead of gross ratings for American cars.
My first car was a 1972 AMC Ambassador.I have over the years had a soft spot for the underdog cars,the Fiat Bravas the Pontiac Ventura's the Oldsmobile Auroras of the car world.Great show ty
I only have one thing to say; 😢😩😫😩😩😢🤬, that beauty won’t even fit in the parking spaces of today.
Did you know that Kaiser built the snowy mountains scheme in Victoria
Ugly then. Ugly now.
Your love for your Ambassador is evident. I enjoyed your narration. Happy motoring! it is a boat 😊
When does this full length film come out?
The full length documentary is coming out in spring of 2025!
My great grandma has a bathtub nash
Is there a health care company descended from Kaiser's WW 2 industry?
Gotta love the old 500 cid - those were the days! They ran so smooth, you'd swear it was a balanced/blueprinted engine...you could put a glass of wine on the air cleaner while it was idling, and never spill a drop...a fitting engine for all models of Cadillac, back then.
A fancy Chrysler New Yorker for only $2,000 more.
What a great video, thank you

Hello Auto Moments, it has been brought to my attention that the owner of this beautiful vehicle and you exchanged some words yesterday morning. I used a clip from this video for 2 seconds in my video. I can’t take the video down, but if you would like any credentials or such, I would be more than happy to have those links in the description. I appreciate your time, thank you.
Yes, in the future please ASK before using footage from our channel. We work hard on these videos and don't like when other channels use our content without asking, even if it's just a few seconds. If you can credit "AutoMoments" and include a link to this Lincoln video, that would be nice.
@@AutoMoments You got it man
Donation made. Can’t wait to see this. Been waiting for years now to see the final product Joe I wish you had time to make regular content but I am actually in the unique position to completely understand why you don’t all the best. Can’t wait for the documentary.
Thank you! The documentary is coming out in the spring of 2025! We've been keeping busy, but you can follow our updates on Facebook.com/AmericanMotorsMovie
Is the documentary ever going to come out? Please tell me it is.
Excellent history lesson of a great Car manufacturer that did things differently.
I rode in a Kaiser and thought it was great. Sometimes false information about vehicles becomes commonplace and people don't buy these cars. Owners of Ford Edsel automobiles told me they were very pleased with their cars. Unlike building techniques at the time, Kaiser prefabricated ship parts at different locations. The different components were brought to a shipyard for assembly. Producing warships this way was much faster. Kaiser built ships faster than the German subs could ship them. I am guessing, but I think Germans ended up building jets this way.
Real nice script. Obviously the person who made this video truly appreciates and knows cars.
My friend has 400,000 on bris Lincoln town car
Try literally Crawling. Into a typical Uber car back seat of a Lexus, Toyota, or other typical car !
Your nine-year-old self was correct, the car is stunning For anyone who values original thought, it’s a masterpiece
It is now 13 years since the town car went out of production and i still have my 03 town car i have also owned an 05 and a 96 town car as well as an 03 Grand Marquis. They are excellent cars and definitely not like anything built today and i plan to drive mine until i cant anymore
Beautiful classic...the end of an era...❤😊
I absolutely love my AMX. 1969 Hunter Green 390/4spd with Go-pak. So much fun, and makes the right sounds for a 1969-anything.
the DeLorean prerunner
The '57 Chevy is one of if not the most over-rated Detroit cars ever. Sadly, MoPar had a well earned rep for rustout, so.....
The ‘86 wasn’t the first Ford diesel pickup. That right would go to an ‘83 model.
We explain that in the video. Technically this is the "first generation Ford diesel truck" but that was too long to put in the title! haha
the naming of the matador was unfortunate. in a time where safety was becoming a thing calling a car a killer was not the best idea. plus the name was connected to the barbaric sport of bullfighting.
