THIS IS MY BABY, BUT I HAVE TO PASS HER ON. TIMES ARE HARD OR I WOULD NEVER SELL HER. SHE IS ALMOST SHOWROOM PERFECT- NOT RESTORED, BUT WELL KEPT. SHE HAS NEW ORIGINAL PAINT AND CARPET, INCLUDING THE TRUNK AND I SMOOTHED OFF THE FAKE PORTHOLES AND REAR PANEL, ADDING DEEP DISHED CHROME WHEELS. FOR THE PURISTS I JUST HEARD GASPING, IT GOES BACK TO STOCK EASILY! STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS AND PERFECT COVERS.
AT THE PORTLAND ALL BUICK SHOW A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THEY DEDUCTED FOR MY REPLACED CARPET AND RENEWED PAINT- ALMOST A PERFECT SCORE. IT RUNS OUT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS AND WE COMPLETED THE 400 MILE OREGON TOUR TWO YEARS AGO WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'D DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, INCLUDING TO YOUR PLACE FOR EXPENSES, IF YOU BUY IT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, IT JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES WHICH I WILL ATTEST TO. THERE ARE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SPARE PARTS, INCLUDING A REBUILDABLE SPARE MOTOR, REBUILT TRANS STILL IN BOX, SWITCHES, CHROME, BODY PARTS, LIGHTS, ETC. I SPENT OVER FOUR YEARS COLLECTING THESE INSURANCE PARTS- THE BEST OUT THERE.
THIS IS A REAL PIECE OF AMERICANA, A UNIQUE BIT OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY. THIS IS THE FIRST (ONLY?) STOCK BLOCK AMERICAN ENGINE TO QUALIFY AT INDY, AMERICA'S FIRST ALL ALUMINUM ENGINE, AND COMES TANTALIZINGLY CLOSE TO THAT OLD HIGHLY SOUGHT 'ONE HORSEPOWER PER CUBIC INCH' GOAL- THE '63 MODEL HAD 200 HP! THIS ONE IS 190. I THINK ONE OF THESE DAYS THESE RARE CARS WILL BE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF CHROME MUSCLE CARS, ON A SMALL SCALE. VERY DEPENDABLE AND A HEAD-TURNER, YOU'LL LOVE IT!

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
