1965 BUICK RIVIERA. 401ci ENGINE WITH CORRECT DUAL QUAD SET UP & POSI TRACTION. RUNS STRONG & DRIVES GREAT!

THIS IS A SUPER CLEAN, STRAIGHT & SOLID CAR. NOT A MUSEUM CAR. BUT A VERY NICE DRIVER.

THE BODY: VERY SOLID & STRAIGHT! THE CAR HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED ONCE. THE PAINT SHOWS VERY WELL! IT WAS A QUALITY PAINT JOB. THERE IS A SCRATCH IN THE RIGHT FENDER. ALSO A PAINT CHIP ON THE DECK LID THAT HAS BEEN TOUCH UP (shown in photos). IT ALSO HAS A COUPLE OF STONE CHIPS HERE & THERE. I'M NIT PICKING. BUT DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES FOR THE BUYER. ALL IN ALL THE BODY & PAINT SHOW VERY WELL!

THE ENGINE & TRANS: 401ci WITH THE CORRECT FACTORY DUAL QUAD SET UP AS ON THE GRAN SPORT MODELS. IT ALSO HAS THE ALUMINUM BUICK VALVE COVERS. I WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN REBUILT IN THE LATE 90's WHEN IT HAD JUST UNDER 100k MILES. BUT I DIDN'T GET ANY RECEIPTS TO PROVE THAT. THE DUAL QUADS WERE PUT ON LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE ORIGINAL MANIFOLD, CARB & AIR CLEANER WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THE CAR RUNS GREAT! NO SMOKE OR NOISE (IT DOES HAVE A MINOR OIL DRIP FROM OIL PAN GASKET). I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THE TURBO 400 TRANS WAS REBUILT WITH THE ENGINE. THAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE. IT HAS A SHIFT KIT. YOU CAN FEEL IT WHEN YOU JUMP ON IT. IT'S VERY RESPONSIVE! THE NEWER FLOW MASTER EXHAUST SOUNDS GREAT! THE CAR HAS A TON OF POWER & SOUNDS LIKE IT!!

THE FLOORS & FRAME ARE SOLID. THE TRUNK PAN DOES HAVE A SMALL PATCH ON EACH SIDE BY THE WHEEL WELLS(see pics). I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TRUNK MATTING & SPARE ROAD WHEEL(THEY WERE REMOVED FOR THE PHOTOS). THE REAR SHOCKS & SPRINGS COULD USE REPLACING. A NEW SET OF SHOCKS & SPRINGS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE.

THE INTERIOR: SEATS & DASH PAD ARE ORIGINAL & IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. HEADLINER HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A VINYL ONE. I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STYLE. CARPET IS SHOWING IT'S AGE(THERE IS A SMALL HOLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE). WOODGRAIN INSERTS ON THE CONSOLE ARE ALSO SHOWING THEIR AGE.

TIRES HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD LIFE. ROAD WHEELS ARE VERY NICE DRIVER QUALITY. A COUPLE OF THE EMBLEMS ON THE CENTER CAPS COULD USE REPLACING.

CHROME IS VERY NICE DRIVER QUALITY. SOME MINOR FADING IN SPOTS ON THE REAR BUMPER.

ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS WORK. POWER ANTENNA WORKS. POWER SEAT WORKS. BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE A/C & HEAT DOES NOT. NOT SURE WHY. I NEVER LOOKED INTO IT.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST... THE CLAM SHELL HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE NOT WORKING. THE LINKAGE & MOTOR HAD BEEN PULLED. A GOOD USED MOTOR & LINKAGE WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE.

TO SUM THINGS UP. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL & VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. STARTS WITH EASE. IDLES NICELY. HAS A TON OF POWER. IT'S A GREAT DRIVER YOU'LL BE PROUD TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. IT JUST NEEDS A FEW MINOR THINGS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

I'VE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THIS BEAUTY TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. BUT IT'S POSSIBLE I MAY HAVE LEFT SOMETHING OUT. SO SERIOUS BUYERS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS. I'M OPEN TO REASONABLE OFFERS. MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE TO SERIOUS BUYERS.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Opel to be shuttered in China, but will restart Buick production in Germany

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Opel, General Motors' troubled German brand continues its quest to reinvent itself and find solid profitability. In the course of that metamorphosis, the company has a bit of good news/bad news today. The good news is, it will once again begin screwing together Buick models for the American market. The bad news, though, is that it's being shut down in yet another country, China.
Let's start with the good news. The last vehicle Opel's Ruesselsheim factory built for the North American market was the early run of the then-new Regal, which is based heavily on the Opel Insignia. Production ran for just over two years, from 2009 to 2011, before moving production to Oshawa, Ontario.
Now, thanks to a 245-million-euro investment (just over $336 million), Opel will kick off production of a unspecified model for the US in the "second half of the decade," according to Automotive News. According to Opel, the new model will be announced before the end of 2014. You can begin your speculation about this new model down in Comments (we're wagering it'll be the Cascada convertible, sold here under the Buick umbrella).
