1965 Buick Riviera Dual Quad Gran Sport Clone?? on 2040-cars

1965 BUICK RIVIERA WITH BUICK DUAL QUAD INTAKE & CARBS. EXCELLENT CAR TO CLONE A GRAN SPORT. THE 4 CORRECT (NEW) EMBLEMS & NEWLY CHROMED DUAL QUAD AIR CLEANER CAN BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE FOR AN AGREED ADDITIONAL PRICE.
This is a turn key car. Get in & drive anywhere. It had been repainted in 2002. Intake & rebuilt carbs were installed in 2012. I purchased it last year to clone a Gran Sport. But I have since lost my job & have too many other cars that need my attention. So unfortunately I have to sell this one. The body is straight & very solid. Paint is in excellent condition. But has a scratch on the the right fender (see photo). Also a small brush touch up spot on the deck lid (see photo). All of the chrome & moldings are very nice driver quality. No rust or pitting on the bumpers. Floor boards & frame are solid! The engine runs very strong & is very responsive. I was told that the transmission was rebuilt (with a mild shift kit) in 2012 when the dual quads were put on the car. This car has a lot of power!! It does have a minor oil seepage from the back of the pan gasket. Also a minor power steering leak from the pressure line. The odometer shows 30850. Which considering the condition & way it runs it very well could be correct. But there is no documentation to back that up. So figure on 130850. The original seats are very nice but starting to show their age. Dash, door & rear side panels are nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small hole on the drive side front. It could use replacing. Headliner had been replaced but it is not the original style. Wood grain on the console is showing it's age. Right rear power window is very slow. Last but not least. The headlamp motor was working but very, very slow. One of the wires to the relay has broken off. So it will need to be rebuilt. This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. I planned on making a GS tribute car. I even bought an air cleaner & had it re-chromed. But I now need the money so all reasonable offers will be considered. I'm happy to answer any questions. Serious buyers only please! No low ballers!! I know what these cars are selling for & what they are worth. I sold my 65 Gran Sport last August for $50k. |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
