Up for auction is my 1970 Buick Electra 225 with the original Buick 455 V8 and turbo 400 transmission. It is a factory non A/C car and the odometer shows 35k, don't know if it is original miles. I bought it from an estate sale 10 years ago in NY and was told the couple used it to drive to FL for the winters and never drove it in the winters up north. It has some rust starting but nothing major given it's age. I hate to sell it but I have too many projects and need to make room so some of my cars have to go. It is a nice cruiser and just floats down the road, I have taken it on alot of raod trips. I have upgraded the front brakes to discs but still have the original front drum assemblies. The gas tank was dropped, cleaned and relined with a lifetime warranty from Gas Tank Renu. I have put 15" Buick rally wheels with new performance tires and still have the original wheels with hubcaps and whitewalls. Also has brand new 3" dual exhaust. I installed pertronix electronic points conversion so it starts everytime and you never have to worry about adjusting or replacing points again. Yet the distributer looks totally stock to keep the original look. It has new shocks with air shocks installed on the rear. The interior is in very good condition for being a 43 year old car. The clear coat is peeling so it does need a paint job and one of the fender skirts has some damage but is still functinal. I have seen new ones online priced within reason. I have alot of time and money in this car so I won't give it away but I have a low reserve on it. Thanks for looking.

Question of the Day: Coolest factory-supercharged car?
Thu, Apr 28 2016Last week, we discussed possible engine-swap recipients for the plentiful-in-every-junkyard Eaton-supercharged GM 3800 V6 engine. The Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs that came with that engine from the factory were reasonably cool, of course, but when you look at all the production cars that have been available with supercharging over the decades you can find some pretty amazing stuff. My personal favorite has to be the Paxton-blown Studebaker Larks of the early 1960s, partly because the Lark was just about the stodgiest-looking, sleepiest little sedan available in America, possibly the most ridiculous recipient of a howling force-fed V8 imaginable, and partly because of the name of the optional supercharged 289-cubic-inch V8 you could get in the Lark: Jet-Thrust! What do you say is the coolest factory-supercharged car of all time? Related Video: Auto News Buick Automotive History Performance Classics supercharger questions
VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668
Fri, Mar 5 2021In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a review-packed episode this week, but it kicks off with a discussion of Volvo's plans to electrify by 2030 and move their EV sales online. From there, they get into Greg's time with VW's game-changing new ID.4 electric crossover. Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan. Finally, they tackle a fascinatingly complex twitter question: What is the best 'economy' muscle car?

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
