Up for sale is a ONE OWNER 1971 Buick Riviera Sports Coupe! It needs work. It will run. It has 134,xxx miles. The driver's door is ajar but does close incorrectly. Gas line problems prevent the engine from running consistantly but it will fire up when gas is poured into the 4 bbl carburator on the 455 cid engine. It has set for the past 20 plus years and not been regularly driven. It has the expected rust on the body and inside of the trunk on both sides of the floorboards. I did not completely close the hood because I do not know if the linkage from the interior will function properly and who needs one extra problem when selling a car! There is no battery (I used my trailer battery to start it the other day).
Ok, now that I exposed the bad points of the car, I will detail the good points. The chrome is in great condition, not dented up. The trim pieces are in great condition! The interior is in great condition. The Buick Riviera rally wheels are decent with some surface rust. The car's power seat and windows appear to be working correctly. The tires are old but hold air. The rear window is in great condition. The front window has a minute chip that can be filled. In total, it is an old car that has a lot of potential either as a restoration or as a parts car.
I can be reached at 734-516-9166 if you have any other questions or want to arrange a meeting to inspect the car. It will be advertised in other publications in print and on the web so it just might disappear at any time. I have the original title and stamped metal "vehicle card" along with decades of maintenance history. It cost $5,373.00 new when purchased on Oct 2, 1971, from the Frank McNally Buick dealership in Flushing (Flint) Michigan. It is located in Grand Blanc, Michigan (Flint area).
I do have the means to deliver in an enclosed Car Hauler and will work with you on the cost to deliver it. However, payment is required in advance if I am contracted to make the delivery.

Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
