Dont miss out on this Rare hard to find in this condition 1973 Buick Century GS. tHIS UNIT IS A VIRGIN PRETTY MUCH UNTOUCHED 90% ORIGINAL PAINT ONE SMALL RUB MARK IN THE PASSENGERS DOOR BUT FOR THE RIGHT COLLECTOR ONE CAR HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. NICE ENOUGH TO MAKE HEMMINGS MAGAZINE 2/1/2010PLUS IT COMES WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL PAPER WORK INCLUDING THE WINDOW STICKER. LOOKS GREAT RUNS GREAT NEEDS NOTHING ! Feature Article from Hemmings Motor NewsFebruary, 2010 - Tucked in among the bumper crop of offerings at the 2009 AACA Fall Meet was this colonnade: Buick's 1973 Gran Sport. Rarely seen and often underappreciated, a properly equipped Gran Sport (that is the official name; the GS designation was dropped after 1972) was still a viable muscle car in a very unmuscular automotive world. To get there, however, you had to move further down the option chart since the Gran Sport package was relegated to a trim level. Its base two-barrel, 350-cu.in. V-8 could have been swapped out for a four-barrel 350, a 455 or the high-demand 455 Stage 1; the M-21 four-speed was also offered, but the Stage 1 mandated the Turbo 400 automatic.
The seller of this particular example provided onlookers with the original dealer order sheet that listed 21 options, including the 190hp four-barrel 350 ($46); custom paint ($113); vinyl top ($84); dual exhaust ($30); chrome wheels ($92); whitewalls ($32); air conditioning ($397); GS package ($173). In all, the 21 options added $1,689 to the base Century's $3,130.45 sticker.
Said sticker aside, we did one quick lap around the find, anticipating the discovery of rust, as is often the case with 1970s metal. What we instead found was nothing but very presentable paint over seemingly original body panels. The same could be said of the interior, which, viewed through locked doors looked nearly blemish-free. In fact, it actually looked as though it was an as-advertised low-mileage car.
And there we stood, staring lustfully at a fine example of posh performance. Dreams of endless, empty highway flashed past with the faint sound of Flint's more fuel-efficient 350 singing its wide-open gospel. Whether or not anyone actually jumped at the chance to pilot this big-bumper Buick off the Hershey Park grounds is unknown to us.

Buick Envision arrives in US next year
Fri, Jul 24 2015In a detailed piece on what General Motors has planned for the Buick brand stateside, Automotive News reports that the Envision will finally come to the US a little more than a year from now, in the latter half of 2016. The size gap between the small Encore and the large Enclave is a perfect fit for the Chevrolet Equinox-sized Envision. Assuming this actually happens, it should excite both customers and Buick dealers. In China, the Envision uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed transmission. Before then, dealers sales forces will be preparing for the Cascada convertible, expected in Q1 next year. Later in 2016, around the same time as the Envision gets here, we can expect a redesigned Verano sedan. AN says it "should grow in length and interior roominess, similar to the Chevy Cruze," but the Verano already roughly matches or exceeds many Cruze dimensions. The Chinese-market Verano that premiered at the Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year probably holds some clues to what we'll see, but our version might not be an exact copy. A redesigned, lighter, and slightly larger LaCrosse will be right there with it. In 2017 the redesigned Regal appears. Following the trend, it also gets larger, but that's required because it needs to be more distinct from that larger Verano. AN suggests a new base engine will go in the Regal, perhaps something as small as the 1.5-liter turbo being lined up for the 2016 Chevy Malibu. At the other end, executives are said to be considering importing the diesel Opel Insignia wagon for the Regal lineup. If they bring the manual over, auto scribes will probably take the day off when the first one arrives, and make it an industry holiday.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
