1977 Buick Century Custom Wagon 4-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
East Meadow, New York, United States
Hello ebayers - WE WILL DELIVER UP TO 250 MILES BY FLATBED SERVICE ( INCLUDED ) ITEM LOCATION ZIP 11554
We came across this Buick Century Station Wagon at a local shop that we go to for regular service. It was previously from a Estate Auction a while back. One of the employees from the shop Gave me the Buicks entire history and it was Quite Interesting. From what I understand, Its spent its entire life in Long Island New york. It was Purchased new from Hagstrom Buick, In Huntington, NY in May 1977. When I opened the glove box I found Many records including the window sticker. Even Inspection Certificates dating back to 1993, and its safe to say that the odometer has only turned once, and the miles that it has on it in connection with the inspection reciepts its also save to say this station wagon was lightly used.
We Purchased this Vehicle because we operate a delivery business. Delivering small packages locally in the town we reside in and we figured it would be cool to deliver to our customers in a classic car in great condition from the 70s. However, this is a NON A/C car. We were qouted with a price on how much it would be to put air conditioning in the vehicle and after some shopping around we decided that it just was not in our favor to have that done. Some ofthe products we deliver require climate control, and with the hot weather on the way this simply does not work out. The Buick has a V8 6.6L Carburated engine with a turbo 400 Transmission and a posi rear. The shop I purchased it from installed a rebuilt carburator, a New radiator , new power steering lines and 4 new tires. the car starts up everytime. and has some power behind it. Everything works on this car, even down to the original radio. It has power windows, Rear defrost am-fm radio and a power bench seat. A nice option i think it has is there is a set of rear seats in the way back of the car that comes out of the floor and holds 2 passengers facing the rear of the vehicle. I sat 8 people comfortably in this car just to try it out. Some may be interested in this classic wagon for parts or for its drivetrain or some may want it for nostalic reasons. Im sorry to see this car go but it serves no purpose to us. Im setting this listing as a auction with a reserve.. if you have any other questions please contact me directly, ill be more then happy to answer. Happy bidding VEHICLE DAMAGE - Someone once repaired the drivers side foam part of the dash, they used the wrong color vinyl paint or dye. It doenst look terrible, and it is small. - The Drivers side of the bench seat has some rips in the bottom part of the seat. The interior and exterior are in great shape for its age, and please expect some minor scratches and interior fade on panels " its a 1977 car".. any detailed questions please ask us , we want to fully disclose and answer any questions you may have. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
U.S. new-vehicle sales in 2018 rise slightly to 17.27 million [UPDATE]
Thu, Jan 3 2019DETROIT — Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. rose slightly in 2018, defying predictions and highlighting a strong economy. Automakers reported an increase of 0.3 percent over a year ago to 17.27 million vehicles. The increase came despite rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, and rising car and truck prices that pushed some buyers out of the new-vehicle market. Industry analysts and automakers said strong economic fundamentals pushed up sales and should keep them near historic highs in 2019. "Economic conditions in the U.S. are favorable and should continue to be supportive of vehicle sales at or around their current run rate," Ford Chief Economist Emily Kolinski Morris said after the company and other automakers announced their sales numbers Thursday. That auto sales remain near the 2016 record of 17.55 million is a testimonial to the strength of the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. The job market, he said, has created new employment, and wage growth has accelerated. "That's fundamental to selling anything," he said. "If there are lots of jobs and people are getting bigger paychecks, they will buy more." The unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, a 49-year low. The economy is thought to have grown close to 3 percent last year, its best performance in more than a decade. Consumers, the main driver of the economy, are spending freely. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate four times in 2018 but is only expected to raise it twice this year. Auto sales also were helped by low gasoline prices and rising home values, Zandi said. It all means that people are likely to keep buying new vehicles this year even as they grow more expensive. The Edmunds.com auto-pricing site estimates that the average new vehicle price hit a record $35,957 in December, about 2 percent higher than the previous year. It will be harder for automakers to keep the sales pace above 17 million because they have been enticing buyers for several years now with low-interest financing and other incentives, Zandi said. He predicts more deals in the coming year as job growth slows and credit tightens for higher-risk buyers. Edmunds, which provides content, including automotive tips and reviews, for distribution by The Associated Press, predicts that sales will drop this year to 16.9 million.
Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
