RARE GRAND NATIONAL ITEMS FOR SALE -
From this same stash of parts I have a band new factory GM NOS 1986-1987 intercooler shroud. One way I determined it is new, never used it still retains the part sticker taped to it. Rarer still is what I believe to be a set of original never used Grand National front bucket seat covers. In comparison to the used seats and the ones in the Grand National I have these appear to be dead on exact. Especially critical is the spacing of the pattern in the grey pallex material. Again only subscribers get to view the Rare Parts section.
PHOTO 1 - We show photos of both the NOS GM intercooler shroud and one of the seat covers that I am fairly certain are original. All stitched up ready to be installed by a professional shop.
Moving on to Photo 2 in this same stash of Turbo Regal parts were several sets of embroidered floor mats. One set in particular is very high quality. It is nice and thick. I know they could not have been cheap. I had never seen this version before. The backing is foam instead of the typical rubber nubs. Quality is excellent and never used.
PHOTO 2 - The top left and top right photo show this unusual brand new set of 4 Grand National floor mats. They still have a sticker on them saying which is the driver's side and which is the passenger side. Even for the real stupid owner an arrow on the label showing which dircection they go. I am surprised they don't also state which side faces up! The bottom left shows another pair of front Grand National floor mats where the drivers side has a slit on both sides. That set is brand new. The bottom right set is slightly used and only has a single slit on the drivers mat. Again all available in the Rare Parts section. Be sure of which of these 3 sets you want when you email me and include the part number I have assigned to each of them.
PHOTO 3 - We show in the one photo brand new in the original AC Delco box a cruise control servo unit. Part number #25074625. The other photo shows an original set of GM factory door seals. Barely visible is that critical Made in Canada decal verifying it is the real deal.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS -
We have been hunting down various cars for this dealer in the midwest. Just bought two more cars this past week for him. We also purchased for him a go-kart that has been in a basement for almost 10 years.
This go-kart was about 2 miles from our old house on Sugar Bottom Road in Furlong. Because the go-kart was in the basement and I would need a regular pick up truck to get it, I asked Devyn’s boyfriend Jay to go with me one night to get it. Devyn went with us as well. Since we were near our old homestead, we decided to see if anyone was home.
Devyn was about 4 or 5 years old when she and I carved our names and Darrell’s name in the wooden guard rail across the street from our house.
We had since then carved over it a few years ago as it had started to fade. Unfortunately, nobody was home. The person that bought our old house initially got in trouble years ago with the law and the house went up for auction or sheriff's sale. Over the last several years I have run into at least 4 people that tried to buy our old house, mostly for the 5 bay garage. The house also had 2-½ garage bays attached and a walk-in basement, and there was a huge driveway. Over 300 Turbo Regals came down that driveway back in the day!
Unfortunately, nobody was home. The house is in need of attention. It’s a real shame how it looks compared to when we lived there. The 5 bay garage was converted to some sort of dance studio. The entire front was redone showing one small door entrance and 4 small windows. It no longer is a 5-bay garage!
PHOTO 4 - The top left photo I took probably in the mid-1990s. I just happened to have all 5 garage doors open and you can clearly see each garage bay has a Turbo Regal inside. One can only imagine what those 5 Turbo Regals would be worth today! The top right photo shows that same garage today with a small double door and 4 windows! The bottom left shows Devyn’s boyfriend Jay re-carving our names back on the wooden guard rail. I told him to put his phone number so the cops know who to call! The bottom right shows myself and Devyn in front of the guard rail. I guess in another five years we will have to go back and carve it again to keep the names fresh!
THE RETURN OF REBUILT 1986-1987 TURBO REGAL STOCK MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS
Years ago we used to offer rebuilt 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air flow sensors with a one year warranty. At the time it was difficult to get original ones back as Cardone would sometimes send us converted Camaro ones which hold no value to me. With our direct connection with Cardone once again we will be offering this again. We now make it clear to them we want our exact ones rebuilt and returned, no substitutions! It will depend on how many cores we can get in that can be rebuilt. Currently we will offer $40 credit for each acceptable 1986-1987 original mass air flow sensor core that you can send us. They can not be modified Camaro 6 cylinder ones. Also they can’t be cracked or painted. They must have the AC Delco logo on the top.
It's like the powermaster brake unit: a certain segment of the market wants to keep their Turbo Regals stock. As we get original 1986-1987 mass air flow sensors, they will appear in the Rare Parts section. The projected price with a one year warranty will be around $164.95 each. You return an acceptable core and you would get $40 back. Each original uncracked 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air sensor core has a $40 value. Again these will be original AC Delco 1986-1987 mass air flow sensors. These will not be Camaro ones that have been converted as they not only do not look the same but the plug is in a different location! Watch for updates as we try to get cores. I do not know of any other company offering to get them rebuilt at this current time. See the Rare Parts section as we currently have 2 available. These have a one year warranty.
MORE GOOD NEWS -
As I prepared this issue of the Inner Circle I found a company that has reproduced exactly the 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air flow sensor minus the AC Delco logo. Otherwise it is exact even the plug is in the proper location and the black plastic is the same shade of semi black color. Once I get one of them tested we will be marketing them. Watch for updates.
NEW PART - 1984-1987 TURBO REGAL REPRODUCTION ALTERNATOR TERMINAL CAP -
This new reproduction is the correct color black. It has a dual notch like the factory. It protects the large hit terminal on the back of the alternator. Part #7946. The price is $11.95. Currently in stock.
GNX FOR SALE -
We are now representing another GNX for sale. Local to me with an amazing amount of documentation with a number of items that have been personally signed by Molly including the original Molly GNX jacket. Car has had the same owner since 1998. Only one previous owner to the current owner. Car has 23,800 actual miles on it. Has all original paint. Driven fewer than 2,000 miles since 1998. Car has been to several of our Open House events. We have partnered up with a major player who has a lot of followers on Facebook and Instagram to get a good price for this GNX owner as he is getting out of the Turbo Regal market. It was his Turbo-T Limited that I sold by making one simple phone call and getting the price he was seeking. Currently we don’t have a price worked out until we come to an agreement. Interestingly enough I had sold this owner a really nice 1987 Grand National several years ago. This GNX 206 asking price is $129,900. The company we teamed up with has a deposit on this GNX.
BMW X3 SUV 2008 MODEL FOR SALE -
This extremely nice all original BMW X3 we purchased last week for this midwest dealer. His money and my sharp eyes work as the perfect combination. Woman owned and garage kept. Same owner for the last 6 years. All the major service records. PA inspected into next year. All the manuals included. The spare and jack have never been out of the SUV. Garaged all the time. AC blows super cold. The owner tested the temp with a gauge showing temps drop to 36 degrees which is colder than most other cars! Car is quite unique as it has over 20 additional options besides the normal options/features. Including heated front and rear seats. Heated steering wheel. Pop up screen Navigation. The top of the line leather option called Tobacco Nevada Leather.
The sticker price in 2008 was $46,500. Car had no open recalls,and the latest PA inspection. The wheels have no curb rash even the backs of the wheels are fairly clean. Last owner bought it in 2011 with 47,000 miles on it. Car now has 99,900 actual miles. . The X3 has Xenon headlights, dark ash wood trim, and Panoramic moonroof just to name a few upgrades. Body and paint are excellent except for minor burn spots on the back bumper caused by the exhaust. Drives 100% with fairly new tires on all 4 corners.
Car is at our house but eventually will be shipped to the midwest unless a buyer buys it locally. The price is $9895.00. You would be hard pressed to find a better example. This is “Kirban Quality” inside and out. Partial trades considered.
1999 MERCEDES BENZ SLK 230 ROADSTER FOR SALE -
This little hardtop convertible coupe is the popular color combo silver exterior with a black leather interior. Non smoke garaged. Owner drove it less than 2,000 miles since purchasing it 2 years ago. Because of Covid the car got very little use. The electric top folds up perfectly to go in the trunk and back up all done with a single switch. An engineering marvel. Body and paint are super nice with very minimal scratches. Tires are like new. Wheels have no curb rash and are very nice. PA inspected into next Spring. The inflatable spare has never been used in the trunk. The radio is an aftermarket, but is a very clean install. This model is the supercharged motor (Kompressor). Miles are 88,700. The price is $10,995. Partial trades considered. This car also is at our location. Eventually this car would also be shipped to the midwest unless a local buyer buys it.
JUST ARRIVED 2007 BUICK LUCERNE CXL V8 -
This outstanding example is powered by the Northstar engine. Car only has 48,500 actual miles. It was purchased brand new in 2007 by a 73 year old person. Garaged constantly and only drove locally in town. My guess is until I got it probably never been driven over 40 mph! Some used cars are exceptional and Kirban quality this car hits those high marks. It can be driven right from my location and entered in any Buick car. It is that nice. Nothing shows any wear issues. The car is extremely well optioned. With 3 position heated seats and cooled seats. Power both leather front seats. Heated steering wheel. Window sticker, all the manuals 2 keys 2 remotes. The phrase that it appears no one ever sat in the back seat rings true with this fine example
Car is equipped with the optional spoke 17 inch chrome wheels. Exterior is a sagemist metallic against a cocoa cashmere color leather interior. Never smoked in and no perfume odors. This is a very stable and comfortable road car. Plastic headlights look like new. No stone chips across the front of the hood since it was never driven at high speeds! The Northstar engine pulls really strong. Tires are a matched set and like new. Not one dent anywhere. The stickers are still on the front struts! You would be extremely hard pressed to find another example as nice as this one is.
We are undecided currently about selling it for the dealer or keeping it. Photos available. This car sold for $35,335.00 back in 2007. The projected price would be under $8500. For more details email me direct [email protected]

CAR SHOW DATES FOR 2021 SEASON -
EAST COAST BUICK REGIONALS
Saturday September 11th 2021
This annual event is held at Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, Maryland. There is no rain date. I have gone every year for the last 5 or 6 years. Always a good event. Plenty of room and plenty of cars. This event was not held in 2020 so a lot of pent up demand for the return. I will be donating items for this event and I will be there as a vendor. I don’t bring many items but I do a lot of buying. So if you plan to attend, see me if you bring items to sell. Our plan is to hand out 3 special custom awards for the 3 cars that impress me the most. More details later.
We will not have many items for sale at this event but instead be focused on accepting turbo cores, powermaster cores, and 1986-1987 original AC Delco mass air flow sensor cores. Course we are always on the lookout for NOS parts. Will have several blank checks with me!

We discovered that FedEx will not forward any packages that are sent to the old PO Box or to our old address in Plumsteadville. Instead they deliver the packages to the old address and leave them outside or send them back to the shipper. They refuse to forward and say that we should notify the shipper. In most cases, we have no idea when we are getting packages shipped back to us.
If you have any cores that are being sent back to us, be sure to use the correct address, especially if you use FedEx. Otherwise, we may not receive your package or it may be sent back to you.

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 -

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.
RARE GRAND NATIONAL ITEMS FOR SALE -
From this same stash of parts I have a band new factory GM NOS 1986-1987 intercooler shroud. One way I determined it is new, never used it still retains the part sticker taped to it. Rarer still is what I believe to be a set of original never used Grand National front bucket seat covers. In comparison to the used seats and the ones in the Grand National I have these appear to be dead on exact. Especially critical is the spacing of the pattern in the grey pallex material. Again only subscribers get to view the Rare Parts section.
PHOTO 1 - We show photos of both the NOS GM intercooler shroud and one of the seat covers that I am fairly certain are original. All stitched up ready to be installed by a professional shop.
Moving on to Photo 2 in this same stash of Turbo Regal parts were several sets of embroidered floor mats. One set in particular is very high quality. It is nice and thick. I know they could not have been cheap. I had never seen this version before. The backing is foam instead of the typical rubber nubs. Quality is excellent and never used.
PHOTO 2 - The top left and top right photo show this unusual brand new set of 4 Grand National floor mats. They still have a sticker on them saying which is the driver's side and which is the passenger side. Even for the real stupid owner an arrow on the label showing which dircection they go. I am surprised they don't also state which side faces up! The bottom left shows another pair of front Grand National floor mats where the drivers side has a slit on both sides. That set is brand new. The bottom right set is slightly used and only has a single slit on the drivers mat. Again all available in the Rare Parts section. Be sure of which of these 3 sets you want when you email me and include the part number I have assigned to each of them.
PHOTO 3 - We show in the one photo brand new in the original AC Delco box a cruise control servo unit. Part number #25074625. The other photo shows an original set of GM factory door seals. Barely visible is that critical Made in Canada decal verifying it is the real deal.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS -
We have been hunting down various cars for this dealer in the midwest. Just bought two more cars this past week for him. We also purchased for him a go-kart that has been in a basement for almost 10 years.
This go-kart was about 2 miles from our old house on Sugar Bottom Road in Furlong. Because the go-kart was in the basement and I would need a regular pick up truck to get it, I asked Devyn’s boyfriend Jay to go with me one night to get it. Devyn went with us as well. Since we were near our old homestead, we decided to see if anyone was home.
Devyn was about 4 or 5 years old when she and I carved our names and Darrell’s name in the wooden guard rail across the street from our house.
We had since then carved over it a few years ago as it had started to fade. Unfortunately, nobody was home. The person that bought our old house initially got in trouble years ago with the law and the house went up for auction or sheriff's sale. Over the last several years I have run into at least 4 people that tried to buy our old house, mostly for the 5 bay garage. The house also had 2-½ garage bays attached and a walk-in basement, and there was a huge driveway. Over 300 Turbo Regals came down that driveway back in the day!
Unfortunately, nobody was home. The house is in need of attention. It’s a real shame how it looks compared to when we lived there. The 5 bay garage was converted to some sort of dance studio. The entire front was redone showing one small door entrance and 4 small windows. It no longer is a 5-bay garage!
PHOTO 4 - The top left photo I took probably in the mid-1990s. I just happened to have all 5 garage doors open and you can clearly see each garage bay has a Turbo Regal inside. One can only imagine what those 5 Turbo Regals would be worth today! The top right photo shows that same garage today with a small double door and 4 windows! The bottom left shows Devyn’s boyfriend Jay re-carving our names back on the wooden guard rail. I told him to put his phone number so the cops know who to call! The bottom right shows myself and Devyn in front of the guard rail. I guess in another five years we will have to go back and carve it again to keep the names fresh!
THE RETURN OF REBUILT 1986-1987 TURBO REGAL STOCK MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS
Years ago we used to offer rebuilt 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air flow sensors with a one year warranty. At the time it was difficult to get original ones back as Cardone would sometimes send us converted Camaro ones which hold no value to me. With our direct connection with Cardone once again we will be offering this again. We now make it clear to them we want our exact ones rebuilt and returned, no substitutions! It will depend on how many cores we can get in that can be rebuilt. Currently we will offer $40 credit for each acceptable 1986-1987 original mass air flow sensor core that you can send us. They can not be modified Camaro 6 cylinder ones. Also they can’t be cracked or painted. They must have the AC Delco logo on the top.
It's like the powermaster brake unit: a certain segment of the market wants to keep their Turbo Regals stock. As we get original 1986-1987 mass air flow sensors, they will appear in the Rare Parts section. The projected price with a one year warranty will be around $164.95 each. You return an acceptable core and you would get $40 back. Each original uncracked 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air sensor core has a $40 value. Again these will be original AC Delco 1986-1987 mass air flow sensors. These will not be Camaro ones that have been converted as they not only do not look the same but the plug is in a different location! Watch for updates as we try to get cores. I do not know of any other company offering to get them rebuilt at this current time. See the Rare Parts section as we currently have 2 available. These have a one year warranty.
MORE GOOD NEWS -
As I prepared this issue of the Inner Circle I found a company that has reproduced exactly the 1986-1987 Turbo Regal mass air flow sensor minus the AC Delco logo. Otherwise it is exact even the plug is in the proper location and the black plastic is the same shade of semi black color. Once I get one of them tested we will be marketing them. Watch for updates.
NEW PART - 1984-1987 TURBO REGAL REPRODUCTION ALTERNATOR TERMINAL CAP -
This new reproduction is the correct color black. It has a dual notch like the factory. It protects the large hit terminal on the back of the alternator. Part #7946. The price is $11.95. Currently in stock.
GNX FOR SALE -
We are now representing another GNX for sale. Local to me with an amazing amount of documentation with a number of items that have been personally signed by Molly including the original Molly GNX jacket. Car has had the same owner since 1998. Only one previous owner to the current owner. Car has 23,800 actual miles on it. Has all original paint. Driven fewer than 2,000 miles since 1998. Car has been to several of our Open House events. We have partnered up with a major player who has a lot of followers on Facebook and Instagram to get a good price for this GNX owner as he is getting out of the Turbo Regal market. It was his Turbo-T Limited that I sold by making one simple phone call and getting the price he was seeking. Currently we don’t have a price worked out until we come to an agreement. Interestingly enough I had sold this owner a really nice 1987 Grand National several years ago. This GNX 206 asking price is $129,900. The company we teamed up with has a deposit on this GNX.
BMW X3 SUV 2008 MODEL FOR SALE -
This extremely nice all original BMW X3 we purchased last week for this midwest dealer. His money and my sharp eyes work as the perfect combination. Woman owned and garage kept. Same owner for the last 6 years. All the major service records. PA inspected into next year. All the manuals included. The spare and jack have never been out of the SUV. Garaged all the time. AC blows super cold. The owner tested the temp with a gauge showing temps drop to 36 degrees which is colder than most other cars! Car is quite unique as it has over 20 additional options besides the normal options/features. Including heated front and rear seats. Heated steering wheel. Pop up screen Navigation. The top of the line leather option called Tobacco Nevada Leather.
The sticker price in 2008 was $46,500. Car had no open recalls,and the latest PA inspection. The wheels have no curb rash even the backs of the wheels are fairly clean. Last owner bought it in 2011 with 47,000 miles on it. Car now has 99,900 actual miles. . The X3 has Xenon headlights, dark ash wood trim, and Panoramic moonroof just to name a few upgrades. Body and paint are excellent except for minor burn spots on the back bumper caused by the exhaust. Drives 100% with fairly new tires on all 4 corners.
Car is at our house but eventually will be shipped to the midwest unless a buyer buys it locally. The price is $9895.00. You would be hard pressed to find a better example. This is “Kirban Quality” inside and out. Partial trades considered.
1999 MERCEDES BENZ SLK 230 ROADSTER FOR SALE -
This little hardtop convertible coupe is the popular color combo silver exterior with a black leather interior. Non smoke garaged. Owner drove it less than 2,000 miles since purchasing it 2 years ago. Because of Covid the car got very little use. The electric top folds up perfectly to go in the trunk and back up all done with a single switch. An engineering marvel. Body and paint are super nice with very minimal scratches. Tires are like new. Wheels have no curb rash and are very nice. PA inspected into next Spring. The inflatable spare has never been used in the trunk. The radio is an aftermarket, but is a very clean install. This model is the supercharged motor (Kompressor). Miles are 88,700. The price is $10,995. Partial trades considered. This car also is at our location. Eventually this car would also be shipped to the midwest unless a local buyer buys it.
JUST ARRIVED 2007 BUICK LUCERNE CXL V8 -
This outstanding example is powered by the Northstar engine. Car only has 48,500 actual miles. It was purchased brand new in 2007 by a 73 year old person. Garaged constantly and only drove locally in town. My guess is until I got it probably never been driven over 40 mph! Some used cars are exceptional and Kirban quality this car hits those high marks. It can be driven right from my location and entered in any Buick car. It is that nice. Nothing shows any wear issues. The car is extremely well optioned. With 3 position heated seats and cooled seats. Power both leather front seats. Heated steering wheel. Window sticker, all the manuals 2 keys 2 remotes. The phrase that it appears no one ever sat in the back seat rings true with this fine example
Car is equipped with the optional spoke 17 inch chrome wheels. Exterior is a sagemist metallic against a cocoa cashmere color leather interior. Never smoked in and no perfume odors. This is a very stable and comfortable road car. Plastic headlights look like new. No stone chips across the front of the hood since it was never driven at high speeds! The Northstar engine pulls really strong. Tires are a matched set and like new. Not one dent anywhere. The stickers are still on the front struts! You would be extremely hard pressed to find another example as nice as this one is.
We are undecided currently about selling it for the dealer or keeping it. Photos available. This car sold for $35,335.00 back in 2007. The projected price would be under $8500. For more details email me direct [email protected]

CAR SHOW DATES FOR 2021 SEASON -
EAST COAST BUICK REGIONALS
Saturday September 11th 2021
This annual event is held at Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, Maryland. There is no rain date. I have gone every year for the last 5 or 6 years. Always a good event. Plenty of room and plenty of cars. This event was not held in 2020 so a lot of pent up demand for the return. I will be donating items for this event and I will be there as a vendor. I don’t bring many items but I do a lot of buying. So if you plan to attend, see me if you bring items to sell. Our plan is to hand out 3 special custom awards for the 3 cars that impress me the most. More details later.
We will not have many items for sale at this event but instead be focused on accepting turbo cores, powermaster cores, and 1986-1987 original AC Delco mass air flow sensor cores. Course we are always on the lookout for NOS parts. Will have several blank checks with me!

We discovered that FedEx will not forward any packages that are sent to the old PO Box or to our old address in Plumsteadville. Instead they deliver the packages to the old address and leave them outside or send them back to the shipper. They refuse to forward and say that we should notify the shipper. In most cases, we have no idea when we are getting packages shipped back to us.

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]
