Listed for auction is a RARE 1964 Buick Riviera wearing its original paint and interior.This is a car that has been sitting since 1982.It was purchased from the original owner 4 years ago by the neighbor across the street,then purchased by me.He had intentions of getting it running but decided at 83 years old it was time to let it go.This is one of 2122 Rivieras built in 1964 with the 425 Super Wildcat KX code engine with dual carbs and dual snorkel air cleaner. The carbs and intake with all linkages intact.It has the original transmission and rear end which was ordered as an open rear end gear.It has a power driver seat,power antenna,AM radio,door edge guards,a/c and tinted windows.It wears its original hubcaps.I have the original owners manual and the protect plate to verify.The body is very solid but it does have areas that will need attention,trunk ,rear window and driver side floor by where your left heel would rest.The rest of the body is solid and straight with the exception of the drivers door skin(one dent).The paint is oxidized and there is some surface rust in areas.Some people are paying big money to paint their cars to look like this patina.The interior needs a total re-do.The chrome and stainless is in very good condition.When I tried to turn the engine over it wouldn't budge.The old fellow that I purchased the car from drained the oil for some reason and it sat for a long while with no oil.This numbers matching engine (see picture) was pulled and inspected and was able to be turned over.There is no major engine failure but it will need to be gone through(rebuilt) AND IS INCLUDED WITH THE CAR.I installed a 401 that I had that runs great,and topped it with the original intake set up.The gas tank and fuel system was gone through as well as the brakes,new master cylinder,wheel cylinders,hoses and front shoes.The car runs drives and stops however it was just in my driveway,needs tires.This is a great restoration project.They are getting hard to find "all there".The ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING KX CODE block(with matching serial number) will go with the car and can be put in the trunk for transport.Please don't ask if this can drive to California,it will have to be transported.That being said this car could easily be driving around with little work.Title is clear in previous owners name.Any questions please ask.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]
Thu, Feb 12 2015The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk
Mon, 06 May 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
