1966 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Kokomo, Indiana, United States
|
This 66 Riviera is a California car that I bought and had shipped to Indiana that I planned to restore. It has the unusual options of A/C and bucket seats with console shifter although the buckets would need new covers, back seat ok. Last year for the Nailhead. I think the engine may be locked up. I put a socket on the crank and was unable to turn it. The car ran great about 18mos ago but sadly not now. I don't feel well enough to give it the time and energy to work on it. It is all there except the air cleaner and an emblem or two is broken. The stainless is all there too. The previous owners brother sat a battery on top of the pass side quarter (see pics) and will need a patch there. The rest of the body is very good including the wheel wells and doors, unusual for an old Riv in this area. It does not have power windows. Crummy radio has been installed but dash face is fine along with all vents and instr. cluster including the barrel speedo. Steering wheel is very nice. Parts are worth more but dont want to use what energy I have to take them off. Hard to find good 48yr old doors , drain holes clear and solid but inner panels aren't great. Lenses are there but old of course. Has perfect 90fin drums, fact mags and decent bumpers. Hard to find operational headlight motor. Floors and trunk are very good trunk does have some rust in spare tire well, extensions are very good. I am getting too old and sick to spend time on it but will part it out if I must. This car should be trailered as I am selling it as not running and questionable brakes. Its almost 50 yrs old so I cannot give any warranty. Have a question? Email or text me, Kris 7653989257. I will not ship it but will assist. Car must be removed within 10 days of end of the auction . I will begin parting it after that. Thank you for viewing the auction. I will accept a check but vehicle cannot leave until check clears my bank. Please check all details on this sale so we have a flawless transaction. Kris

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
Opel to be shuttered in China, but will restart Buick production in Germany
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Opel, 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).
