This is a 1976 Buick Century Regal Replica Pace car with 40,257 original miles. It was purchased new and never driven much just sat in a garage with a cover over it which is included with the sale. It started life as a fully equipped Regal S/R including power steering and brakes, power windows and door locks, power bucket seats with recliners, tilt steering, air conditioning (converted to R134A and is ice cold), cruise control (works great), speed warning, AM/FM cassette (also works), I added a trunk mounted FM modulated CD changer and replaced the old factory speakers with new Polk Audio 6X9's in the back and 5X7 in the front. I also added a hidden amplifier under the rear package tray and the whole system sounds great. All power options are in excellent working order and the car is also equipped with Hurst Hatch T-Tops which are in perfect condition and don't leak or have any wind noise. There is a factory Hurst box in the trunk to hold the T-Tops when they are off the car so you can take them with you and all the original literature from Hurst. All the rubber seals and weatherstripping are in perfect condition with no cracking or leaking. The car also came factory equipped with the space saver inflatable spare and has the inflator bottle with it as well as factory equipped superlift air shocks which are in great shape and hold air well with no leaks. The car was repainted about three years ago in two stage base/clear original pewter grey metallic and all of the pace car decals were meticulously reproduced and are in perfect condition. The pictures show the car with the original Buick Rally wheels with Goodyear Eagle II tires and also with a set of 15X8 and 15X10 Cragar SS wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. The car will come with the factory wheels but the Cragars will be extra if you want them as well. The engine starts, idles, and runs smooth and the transmission shifts cleanly and smoothly as well. There are NO fluid leaks at all under the car and No rust anywhere either as the car was never driven in cold or rainy weather. It runs, drives, stops, smells and feels like a brand new car still and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. There is a new exhaust system from the cat back with a flowmaster muffler that is still very quiet but has a nice low rumble to it. Other than that, everything is stock as equipped from the factory. I also have the original build sheet, dealers brochure, owners manual, specification sheet, 1976 Buick press release kit, copies of letters from Buick motor division to the dealer network introducing the pace car option, dealer order form, Buick public relations press photos and letters, original advertising, one ticket to the 1976 Indianapolis 500 60th annual race that was paced by the Buick equipped with a V6 for the first time and there is a pit and press pass and souvenir program also. Buick maintenance schedule, warranty information, consumer information booklet, Buick accessories catalog, exterior color chart, dealer price guide with leather folder, Buick product information booklets and several old magazines from 1976 featuring the Buick pace car. This is a really low mileage and unique car and you will be virtually guaranteed not to see another one driving down the street or at a car show. It gets a lot of looks and stares when I drive it and people are constantly asking me about it. I can help with shipping if you need a car carrier and also have additional pictures including the trunk and under side so just e-mail me if you would like them or have any questions.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
