Extremely rare 1979 Buick Riviera S-Type Turbo Model.  This is an all-original car with only 49K miles!  Only a couple thousand of these were made with BOTH the rare S-Type package AND the factory V-6 Turbo engine - even fewer with this GREAT color combination of white with red sport interior and factory red pinstripes! 

As an "S-Type", the exterior has black accents on the rocker trim, window trim and grill, along with special "S-Type" badging.  The S-type interior has a special center console (opens for your 8-tracks), black accents on the dash, sport steering wheel, and special bucket seats.  This particular car is finished with the eye-catching red interior.  As a car equipped with the factory V-6 turbocharged engine, the exterior has special "turbocharged" badging.

This car is equipped with power windows, power door locks, cruise control, AM/FM 8-track stereo with power ant. (all components working!), factory wire wheels, and air conditioning (blows COLD).

The car was a one-owner car until last year and had regular service.  Many recent new parts, including brand new radiator, new shocks, new wheel bearings/brakes, new engine mounts, and newer tires. Runs and drives great.

The body is in fantastic shape - all original paint (except driver door was resprayed at one point and could stand to be redone for show, rear fillers were replaced/painted, and various areas have touch up paint from over the years), no dents/rust (except some minor surface spots on the same part of the driver door that was resprayed down above the rocker panel), original chrome (with some hazing).  The interior is in BEAUTIFUL condition with only minor wear on the front seats (as shown), some fading on the back of the front seats (the plastic part that can easily be redyed), and headliner was reglued on one side in past (the black spot on the front carpet in one of the pics is just a piece of dirt I should have picked up - not a hole/spot in the carpet). 

Please ask all questions before bidding.  All shipping arrangements are buyer's responsibility, although I am happy to make the car available for any transporter after full payment is received.  The car is sold as is/where is with no warranties express or implied so please feel free to ask any questions/come drive it.  This is NOT a 100 point perfect museum piece and is not being held out as such but is a super rare, original collector car in beautiful shape that is over 30 years old so not perfect.  Thanks!!

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts

Fri, Nov 30 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:

Man arrested after teaching his dog to drive a Buick 100 mph

Mon, Mar 30 2020

A Washington state man riding shotgun in an old Buick was arrested after fleeing a hit-and-run incident and leading police on a high-speed chase on an Interstate freeway. Meanwhile, the driver, his pet pit bull, got off scot-free. Such was the scene Sunday near Seattle, where police arrested a 51-year-old man from Lakewood, Wash., who told them he was teaching his dog how to drive. The man was apparently steering the car from the passenger seat. Reports say the man, whose name was not released, was driving his 1996 Buick on Interstate 5 when he allegedly struck two vehicles in South Seattle near the Boeing Access Road and then fled north on I-5. The car was spotted on the interstate near the Snohomish River in Everett, and officials told KOMO-TV the vehicle was driving more than 100 miles per hour when they began pursuit. The vehicle left the freeway near the Stanwood exit — 57 miles north of the hit-and-run — and then drove onto the nearby Centennial Trail, a rails-to-trail bike path. The chase finally ended after police were able to deploy spike strips. Police found the man seated in the passenger seat and his dog behind the wheel. The man appeared to have been steering for the canine. The man was arrested on suspicion of DUI, reckless driving and hit-and-run feeling eluding. Weird Car News Buick

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
