401 Nailhead 4bbl. Cold Factory Ac. Unbelievable Survivor. on 2040-cars
North Richland Hills, Texas, United States
|
Here is an opportunity to own a truly unbelievable survivor. The Electra was downsized in 1961, but still retaining the same large V8 it became a high performance car. The '62 was slightly larger, but still retained the same performance edge. The Electra 225 was based on the C body GM platform shared with the Cadillac DeVille and the Olds Ninety Eight. The C bodies were more substantial than the smaller B bodies. You can sense this in the solid thump of the doors closing, the almost total lack of rattles (in a 52 year old car) and the boulevard ride. This car was originally purchased from Vandergriff Motors in Fort Worth, Texas and has no rust out anywhere. It even sports its original Arctic White paint with mostly original interior. The front seat was reupholstered in the original fabric (Shantung) before I bought the car. There is a leftover roll of fabric that goes with the car. There should be enough to redo the back seat cushion if desired. The car leaks nothing. The front suspension is tight and was recently rebuilt. The factory AC was overhauled 2 years ago and was charged with R12, so it still blows cold. I recently replaced the motor mounts and the transmission mount. The brakes have been overhauled with new wheel cylinders and lines. The wiper motor was rebuilt approximately 1 year ago. The brake booster was rebuilt prior to my purchase of the car 2 years ago. The 401 is strong with high torque. The Turbine Drive transmission is a smooth beauty. Even the Sonomatic AM radio still works and has front and rear speakers. The power seat, cigar lighter and the speed sentinel do not work. This car is offered with no warranties implied or otherwise. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Deposit is expected within 48 hours of auction close. Payment in full is expected within 7 days of auction close.

Top-of-the-line 2018 Buick Regal TourX costs $43,795
Tue, Nov 28 2017Buick has unveiled an online configurator for the 2018 Regal TourX wagon, and it shows that picking the full suite of premium options puts the sport wagon at $43,795. That prices it under its Regal GS Sportback sibling and competitors like the Volvo V60 Cross Country and Audi A4 Allroad. The luxury hatchback starts at $29,995 and is available in three trim options: TourX 1SV, Preferred ($33,575) and Essence ($35,945). All are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and drives an eight-speed automatic transmission. Intelligent all-wheel-drive with active twin-clutch, start-stop technology and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels are also standard. There are eight exterior color options, including Sport Red and Summit White for no extra charge, and two options for the interior at no extra charge. Driver Confidence package options come with things like LED headlamps, 4-way lumbar seat adjuster and rear park assist for $1,725, and various driver-assist technologies including adaptive cruise control and forward collision alert for an additional $1,190. A panoramic moonroof will set you back $1,200. At 73.5 cubic feet with the second-row seats folded down, Buick says the TourX boasts more overall cargo space than the Subaru Outback, Volvo V60 Cross Country, Audi A4 Allroad and BMW 3-series Sport Wagon. The rear hatch area offers 32.7 cubic feet with the seats up.Related Video:
2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
