I have had this car since 1993. It is a beautiful Blue and White cruiser that I have enjoyed for many years. This car was originally gold and white painted top, with a white interior. When I first purchased the car it had a power bench seat, tilt wheel, A/C, power steering, power drum brakes, remote driver's mirror and AM radio. The original engine was the 340 four barrel with two speed automatic. I have changed the car more to my liking, but kept it all Buick. The interior is now Bucket seats with console and floor shifter. I installed a four speaker AM/FM cass radio with the Buick name on the front and had the interior reupholstered in the original off white color. The front suspension was rebuilt in the 90's and has heavy duty station wagon springs with a Trans Am sway bar. The shocks are new gas units by KYB. I installed the classic Buick rally wheels (15 X 7) with BFG TA radials 235 60s (5K miles). The engine is a 71' Buick 455, bored .030 over. It was built by Valley Balancing, Ceres, Ca. and has a TA Cam (Stage 1 Type), ARP fasteners throughout and small combustion 430 heads with hardened valve seats. Compression is 9:1. They also opened up the oil passages and installed a high pressure oil pump. The 455 has a 750 cfm Quadrajet carburetor, stock exhaust manifolds and dual 2.25" exhaust. The engine sounds great and runs out strong. There is a little overheating problem at this time and I hope to have it fixed. The transmission is from a 67' GS400. It is the SP400 which is a TH400 with a switch pitch torque converter, rebuilt at Edco Trans in Fairfield, with a mild shift kit. The engine and transmission have less than 1K miles. The drive shaft is balanced with new heavy duty U-joints. The bumpers were chromed and the paint was done in 2000. The paint needs a little fixing as over the years it has some scratches and peeling as shone in the pictures.
I love driving this car. I get compliments all the time. So will you. Thank you for looking and good luck bidding.

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.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
