This is one of those rare finds that you always hear about someone else getting..
It's getting harder and harder to find one of these in this condition. They are usually rusted out, worn out, or beat to death.
===========================================================
This was a California car it's entire life until a few months ago. Zero rust.
Owned by a friends grandfather who left it to him, but this car is just not his style.
Well cared for and has been maintained by professionals always. Full documentation.
This car is like stepping back into the 80's when they were new. It even has that 80's car smell. All the way around it has been well taken care of.
- The paint is excellent - 1 tiny door ding on passenger side - see in pics
- New fiberglass bumper fillers just painted to match and installed
- Glass is all perfect - no chips/no cracks in windshield
- Chrome is all good and still shines
- Tires are like new
- All lights work correctly
- Doors/trunk/hood close perfect
- Landau top is perfect
- Exhaust looks new
- Shocks look new
Interior-
- Excellent condition throughout - 1 tiny wear spot just above power seat control - see in pics
- Carpet is good with no wear
- Door panels, dash, etc are all excellent
- All interior lighting works correctly
- Gauges/dash lighting work correctly
- The AM/FM Radio seems to act a little odd - just the digital display portion
- Non Smoker car
- Split bench w/ armrest
- 6 way power seat - a little noisy but works
- Power windows - driver side hesitates sometimes
- Very comfortable
Mechanicals-
- 3.8 V6 - Pump the gas and hit the key. Starts right up. Needs a couple quick light revs to smooth out
- Automatic trans shifts perfect
- Brakes work perfect - no pull or surging
- Shocks feel tight and new
- Runs at correct temp
- No funny noises or rattles / or smoke
- All hoses/belts/filters appear new
- Quiet exhaust
- I did see a drop of oil when I moved it but the undercarriage is clean. Maybe a gasket starting to go from sitting?
- Power steering quiet and smooth
- Radiator looks clean w/no leaks
- Just converted to R134a AC and blows cold- New pressure switch, clutch relay, fan relay, hi/lo hose assembly, and orifice tube.
I would rate this car a 9.5 out of 10 overall.
It looks like it has been well maintained but has also sat quite a bit. That would also be why it only has 67k miles. It most likely needs to be fine tuned since it was set up to pass California emissions standards. Smells like it's running lean. It comes with a folder full of documentation of everything ever done to the car. I didn't look through all of it but I did see a receipt for a new headliner at some point. And a new top. It is a lot of slips from the emissions tests too. It comes with the original window sticker, the build sheet, owners manual, and even the business card of the salesman that sold it. The spare tire and jack are in place. And it comes with a set of tire chains (in Cali?) that look like they were from the 80's as well. The paint was redone after a parking lot incident. It's a beautiful low mileage car that looks like it belongs on a movie set for an 80's film. It would make a perfect car for someone that loves this body style. These were the comfortable cruiser of their day, still look sporty, handle well, and kept the Buick reliability alive and well.
This is all I can think of.
As mentioned this is a friends car that was from his grandfather who took very good care of it.
I don't believe you will find another one that is in this condition.
I've looked over the car, did a safety check, and a short test drive to insure there wouldn't be any surprises.
It's a great car.

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.
GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
