This car is gorgeous! I bought it last summer off of Ebay and had to go out to Illinois to pick it up. That was quite an adventure as my diesel was doing funny things to me on the way back, (all the way back).
Things I've done to the car: A new thermostat and the radiator overfill cap replaced, (old one wouldn't snap on). And a detail job as you can see in the pics. I've driven this car a couple of times to where I work and back, (150 miles each way), and around town. It always gets looks and thumbs up signs. Everyone looks from kids to old ladies! It's a magnificent car. The mileage is original and has not turned, it's not 110198 it's only 10198. Pretty hard to believe for a car that's 40 years old. The young man I bought it from put 3000 onto it and had some trouble in that area of the country, (hence the bullet strike on the back door). That didn't go through and there are not any other strikes on the body or interior, (thank God). He was a nice kid with a real nice young family to boot. Wish I'd of stayed in touch with him. (Don't think I want to go back that way though, all I smelled going out there from Wyoming was corn,... and pig pee). Not conducive to a fun drive! Trailered it back to Casper, WY.
The interior is immaculate. It looks new with no tears, wears, splits, or things coming apart. Seats, panels, and dash have no cracks or splits. Carpet is original with no wearing. Paint on the inside is the same too. Black interior, looks like it came off the lot yesterday. Radio doesn't work, (it's am anyway). I'll have it looked at to see if maybe it might be a fuse. Engine also is immaculate, big ol' monster big block 455. The young man I bought it from had straight pipes put in and they shoot out the back. I'd put quiet mufflers in but my wife has hated the car from the start and about cleaned my clock when I brought it home. I don't understand why she doesn't like these old boats but I'd rather keep her, (had an old 65 Buick Electra in the same scenerio and it went to an older man in Louisianna, man I miss that car). One of these day's I'll have one that I can keep. My dream car is a red with black interior, 67 Buick Electra 4 dr. with the 455 original.
This car has a few ding spots in addition to that bullet strike as I point out in the pictures, typical for any car. The places where the paint has worn are shown also. It would be a shame to paint this any other color than the original gold. What else. The air conditioning is original and I even was going to stock up on R12 refrigerant. The problem is is that no one has that kind of equipment to put it into a system anymore and the new refrigerant has a whole different setup, I know, I checked. And, no guaranteeing that it won't leak and at $30 a can and at least 6 cans, youch! It use to cost a couple of bucks when you could buy it at the local hardware store, now look up R12 on ebay.
The young man I bought it from also put air shocks on the back. Original shocks are included in box in the back. The air shock filler is just under the rear gas door, (under the license plate), in the back.
Spare tire I think is original as perhaps the tires that are on it. They are all in good shape. Original jack in the trunk.I'm six foot with fairly long legs and with the seat back, I can stretch way out. It has more room than my crew cab chevy.
If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you.

Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen
Wed, Apr 15 2015Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore
Thu, Mar 12 2015General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
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.
