1970 Buick Gs 455 on 2040-cars
Flemington, New Jersey, United States
1970 GS 455 in diplomat blue with blue bucket interior and black vinyl top. 1 owner Texas vehicle. Just brought to NJ. Absolutely no rust in panels, trunk or floors (which still show blue factory overspray). One spot of rust was visible on the inside lower trim at rear window bottom. This is an early built GS as evidenced by the White top overflow and pointed gauges. All original never out of car 455 SR stamped engine and BA turbo 400 trans. Original rear still resides and is a non-posi 10 bolt. The paint, although laquer I believe is a second shoot and not original. There is checking visible is a few spots. It has a luster but will need some minor door dings and a dent in lft rear qtr removed. Also d/s door at the front needs a little repair. The vinyl top is original and does not show signs of any rust underneath. Motor runs good and trans shifts good but sometimes takes a moment to go into first gear. I am going to change the fluid and gasket and will update the progress if there is any. The car retains all original motor and trans mounts. Also new muffler and tail pipes have been istalled. Extra engine and intermediate pipes are in the truck. The original head pipes were in great shape and remain on the car. A new grille was installed and the original is in the trunk. Also a new fuel pump has been installed and the original is also in the trunk. Both bumpers are the originals. The front has a slight bend dead center and that is what probably cracked the grille. This is a great all original candidate with Protecto-plate for authenticity.It is a dry Texas body worhty of restoration or some TLC. Low production puts this car in this trim configuration at around 5-600 made.And lets not forget the 510 ft pounds of torque....oh yea that's what makes her a fun ride. Options include power drum brakes,455,A/C,d/s remote mirror, bucket seats,console,wheel well mldgs,and door edge guards. The front seats will need vinyl. Thanks and good luck.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Buick version of Equinox/Terrain CUV spied testing... with autonomous gear?
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Let's get the most pressing bits of this story out of the way right off the bat: What we see here appears to be a new compact crossover from Buick. According to the spy photographer, this machine may be a little bit smaller on the outside than the current Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain 'utes, which makes sense since recent rumors suggest GM's small crossovers will migrate to a new platform that will mark a convergence between the automaker's Delta (Chevy Cruze, Buick Verano) and Theta (Equinox, Terrain) platforms. This Buick would likely use this new D2UX platform.
We've been expecting Buick to unleash a crossover to slot between the very small Encore and the very large Enclave, and various rumors have indicated that the model may be known as either the Anthem or Envision. It's worth mentioning that Buick had planned, back in 2009, to release a vehicle in the compact CUV market, but abandoned those plans after a particularly poor reception.
And now for something completely different... Take another look at the spy shots above, and pay special attention to the cylindrical device mounted to the vehicle's roof. We can't say for sure what it is, but our spy photographer opines that it looks quite a bit like the 360-degree Lidar camera equipment used by Google for its autonomous cars. Is General Motors working with Google on autonomous car technology? We don't know, but you can definitely consider us intrigued.
GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
