Wildcat was aquired 5 years ago from the second owners They had owned the car
since it was only 4 years old. It was built in California, sold in California
when new and has lived all its life in
California before being brought locally here to WA about a decade ago. This is
one of those rare condition survivors… a very solid California car, very well
taken care of, actual low miles & always well maintained. It has a vintage
TOW PACKAGE for you vintage trailer or boat collectors, with heavy duty setup
that can tow full sized loads with lots of power and 445 lbs. of torque.
I have had
it professionally repainted the factory SURF GREEN metallic paint, in a high
quality 2-stage with clear coat paint done by a local shop noted for show cars.
The body was ground down to bare metals, all little dents removed for flawless
final paint. The paint was a difficult match to get the actual original
metallic color of the Surf Green. The final result was stunning! The Surf Green
has lots of metallic, and deep silver to a touch of gold hues when the sun hits
it. The photos do not do it justice. I
have also recently had the interior fully redone at a professional upholstery
shop that also does show quality cars. All new quality OEM padded loop carpets
that exactly matched the factory color, professionally reupholstered interior
using the very highest quality of materials, a thick Buick Surf Green with cream
vinyl pleated inserts. The car also has a new professionally installed OEM
textured headliner in off white.
This Buick
Special runs and drives very nicely. It has lots of power, handles and drives
easily and shifts cleanly through the gears. The factory & numbers matching
big block 401 Nailhead V8 engine has had a prior rebuild, with not many miles
on it coupled with its fully redone GM Buick 3-speed automatic transmission. The
4-V Nailhead is called the “445” due to the amazing 445 lbs of torque it
produces. You can see by the photos that the original air cleaner and all parts
under the hood are amazing condition. From the newer radiator, to newer
battery, to all new hoses, tune up and belts this car is in top mechanical
condition. This is one of those rare cars that will always fire right up, runs
smooth and strong and can take you across the country without hesitation. I
have had this car on weekend road trips, full freeway speeds and road cruising well
over 70mph and this car is amazing. I elected to keep the vintage heavy duty
tow package on the car, with hopes of someday having a tear drop vintage
trailer to match. Car has the internal adjustable drivers side mirror, full
power brakes and power steering… all in good condition. I am a Buick collector
and have put later model Buick Rally wheels on the car. I have not yet replaced
them back with the original 15” Wildcat rims, which have beautiful new quality
all weather whitewall radials. These will be put back on the car with the rare
set of mint condition factory Wildcat hubcaps. The second set is available to
buyer if desired. Original spare and jack assemblies still in the car. This is
a very early production & RARE 2-dr HT Wildcat in surf green! All exterior chrome are shiny and excellent stainless trims. This car would make a great “Low Rider” or keep stock for weekend car shows, cruisin town or family fun. It always gets a “thumbs up” … “cool car” or “nice car!” wherever it goes. AN INVESTMENT QUALITY & Weekend "SHOW & GO" car that you can drive anywhere & enjoy MUST SELL

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
2019 Buick Envision First Drive Review | Still not a standout
Thu, Mar 15 2018ATLANTA – "We're in the fashion business," executive chief engineer Rick Spina told us as he introduced the 2019 Buick Envision. "Except with a lot of technology." Spina was referring to the changing whims of new-car buyers, which have prompted Buick to give the compact Envision crossover its mid-generational update early — just 18 months into its lifecycle — and drop its prices across all trim levels. As with much of our consumer goods, the Envision is made in China. That doesn't seem to have hurt it in the market, even though it wears the badge of one of the most quintessentially American brands out there. It even aced the IIHS crash tests, putting it in league with Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. There's good news and bad news about how the Envision is doing. It's now the third-best-selling model in the Buick portfolio, behind the three-row Enclave in second place and the surprise hit Encore subcompact crossover in first. Sam Russell, Buick's director of marketing, reported 73 percent growth in the past nine months versus the first half of its market life. A full 60 percent of Envision buyers are new to the GM family, too, and Russell says that nearly half of those are likely to buy another Buick SUV when the time comes to trade in the Envision. And yet, the Envision trails in luxury compact-crossover sales, behind mainstays such as the Audi Q5 and Acura RDX, even amid crossover demand in the U.S. that has companies like Nissan posting record sales numbers and Ford canceling a redesign of the Fusion. Our test of the 2017 Envision found it competent, but lacking that "X factor" that would send buyers of German and Japanese marques flocking. Instead, we compared it to the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and deemed those both better values. Perhaps Buick feels the same, because the base 2019 Envision now starts at $32,990, a $2,000 cut from last year. The Preferred trim level sees a greater drop of $2,400, to $34,495. Rounding out the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter grades, the Essence's price falls $1,900 to $36,795. The turbocharged 2.0-liter Premium and Premium II trims get a discount of $1,600 and $1,400, respectively. With those prices come changes that Buick hopes will make the Envision a more compelling prospect. Outwardly, the Envision sports a new grille, a winged affair to replace the 2018's waterfall and bring it in line with the rest of Buick's lineup.
