After ten years of seeing this gorgeous Buick just parked in my garage, my wife finally laid down the law. This is going to be a tough decision, because I love this car and don't really want to sell it. It is a 72,000 documented mile factory A/C car that is not only a head turner every where we take it, but really wonderful to drive as well. In the past ten years, I have not put even 200 miles on the car. It has been used for local errands and parades only and spends all of its time locked in my garage. Everything in the car works, including the original factory AM Radio. The AC is in need of a charge, but the compressor does come on when you turn on the AC switch. It has factory stage 2 wheels with red line tires and the motor is a 350 cubic inch with 2 barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. When I bought the car, it came with a ton of receipts (see photos), including DMV registration going back to 1983. All of the receipts are in the name of the gentleman who I bought the car from. The car appears to have had one repaint many years ago and it still has a beautiful deep shine. The interior is all original and in extremely nice condition. The convertible top and rear window are in wonderful shape as well. This is a car that you can get in and drive anywhere and I guarantee you, every place you take it, you will get compliments from everyone who looks at it. We live in a small resort community here in northern California and every year we get a call from the Chamber of Commerce and local Lions Club asking to use the Buick in their upcoming parades.

I believe that cars like this 69 Buick, will do nothing but go up in value as the years go by. If you have been thinking about getting a 60's era car and you want one that you can drive and enjoy, rather than spend thousands repairing, this is the one you should be bidding on. This is a rust free, 72000 mile beauty with a clean clear California Title and registration paid through 2014. 

I ask that you please DO NOT bid on this car, if you don't have funds available to pay for it. I am located in northern California about an hour and twenty minutes from San Francisco. If you would like to come see the Buick before you bid, just send me an email, or give me a phone call and I will be glad to make arrangements with you to see the car. I can be reached at (925) 437-4701. There are no disappointments when you come to pick this beauty up. I guarantee that you will love the car when you see it.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It'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 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).

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With 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.
