This car is solid, it has no rust, anywhere. It has been kept inside for as much of its life as I could check into. The following items have been redone just this past year, and rarely driven since.
1. body work and paint- it has been worked on by a professional car body restorer. it has had a beartiful paint and body work job completed on it.
2. a professional engine rebuild- to original specs (see #6)
3. an entire interior, all vynal, carpet, convertible top and boot are all new and to orginal specs
4. Drive train, airconditioner, control switches etc, etc have all been gone through and put in good working order
5. a true "grandsport" nothing fake about it, operational hood scoops with all orginal working parts
6. note- there have been five modifacations to the restoration of this vehicle that I thought were good for the car but not "orginal" 1. a "mild performance" cam was installed with the restoration because of the high elevation where I live. 2. A electronic distributer was installed. 3. A satilatte radio with cd player was installed. 4. A after market cruise control was added. it looks orginal inside the car but has a box mounted on fender under hood. 5. To balance out the dash cluster unit I added a a/c vent from orginal parts and put it where the convertable top switch was and relocated the switch to the left and somewhat under the dash, this made the dash instrument cluster much more balance and gave the driver better a/c effeciancy.
7. I have all the orginal parts to put the car back to its total orginal condition. note all the interior, paint color and all other restoration work is to orginal specs, including color.

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.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.
