This Buick 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

Little-bit-bigger 2020 Buick Encore GX gets two three-cylinder engines

Thu, Aug 8 2019

Ford broke the ice on selling three-cylinder engines in the U.S. with the 2014 Fiesta, then followed up with the EcoSport. Buick is about to widen that supermini-sized crack in the ice with the 2020 Encore GX. The semi-subcompact crossover will come in three trim levels that mix-and-match two turbocharged three-cylinder engines, two transmissions, and two drivetrains. The smaller engine is a 1.2-liter three-pot with 137 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. This comes in one horse and 18 lb-ft of twist beyond the 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the smaller Encore. This engine will only be paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive in the Preferred, Select, and Essence trims. The meatier motor is a 1.3-liter three-cylinder with 155 hp and 174 lb-ft. That's down on the 163 hp and 177 lb-ft that the same engine produces in the Chinese-market version of the Encore GX. However, it gets buyers close to the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that used to be optional on the smaller Encore, producing 153 hp and 177 lb-ft. This engine can be optioned on the front-wheel drive Select and Essence trims, where it would be mated to the CVT. The 1.3-liter three-cylinder is standard on all trims optioned with all-wheel drive, where it gets paired with GM's nine-speed automatic. GM does say the horsepower figures are estimates at the moment, so don't be surprised at any slight changes before deliveries begin next year. The Encore GX will serve buyers who would love it if the Encore had a bit more room but don't want to step up to the Envision. For a price GM hasn't announced yet, the Encore GX will reward those buyers with five more feet of cargo space, and some extra power for all those who decide to level up further. The junior Encore weighs just over 3,200 pounds, it's likely the Encore GX will shade that some. The Encore GX does ride on GM's new VSS-F platform, though, so the advanced architecture could provide an overall superior experience even with the lesser three-cylinder. GM has also said that the Encore GX will come standard with safety kit like forward collision alert and lane keep assist with a lane departure warning, features that are cost extras on the Encore. The Encore GX will also include automatic emergency braking, which can't be had on the Encore at any price.

GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers

Fri, Oct 26 2018

Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
