1965 BUICK RIVIERA  ***NO RESERVE! HIGH BID BUYS THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR!***

This is a very nice, turn key car. Purchased from the original owners nephew in 1997. Stripped to bare metal & repainted in 2002. The paint work is very nice & still shines very well. The color is absolutely stunning!

Electronic ignition, heads redone, mild cam & trans rebuilt with a mild shift kit in 2010. Newer water pump, master cylinder & battery. It runs strong! When sitting for a while it will leave a couple of spots on the ground from the power steering pump & oil pan. Newer flow master style muffler sounds great! The Odometer shows just under 31,000 miles. Less than 3,000 have been put on it since '97. I know prior to that the car had been stored in a garage for many years. So it may be correct. But I'm not sure.

The body is straight & solid. All of the chrome & stainless moldings are original & in very good condition. Floor boards & frame are solid.

New rear springs & shocks were installed last September.

The interior is in nice original condition. The seats are in very good condition. Dash, door & rear side panels also are very nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small tear on the driver side front by the kick panel.

All 4 power windows work. The power seat motor works, but sticks on the right track. Maybe one of the cables needs to be replaced or the track greased & realigned. It's far enough back so it wasn't an issue for me & I never looked into it. The power antenna & original am/fm radio work. The tuner & volume give a little static when changing stations or adjusting volume.
 
The clam shell headlamp motor has been removed & needs to be rebuilt. The clam shells open and close manually very easily.

This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. But I have too many cars & need the space. So I've listed it with No Reserve at an extremely fair starting price.

Please ask all questions & have all funds available before bidding.

I'm happy to answer any questions, assist with shipping & or inspections. Serious buyers only please! 

If you are local & would like to see the car in person. Feel free to send me your # so we can set up a day & time.

Don't want to wait for the auction to end? I will consider Buy it Now offers to end it early.

This car is for sale locally. So the auction could end early if sold. 

Thank you for viewing my listing.

Buick confirms 2017 Encore for New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Buick will unveil the refreshed 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show in March, company spokesperson Stuart Fowle tells Autoblog. The brand isn't ready to divulge info about the updated compact crossover, but a recent revision to the Encore's European platform-mate, the Opel Mokka (above), might provide hints about what to expect. "While we have no additional details to announce, we're excited to confirm that media and customers will see the new 2017 Encore at next month's New York Auto Show. The Encore joins the Cascada convertible, Envision crossover, and LaCrosse sedan as the fourth new product arriving in Buick showrooms this year," Fowle said to Autoblog. Expect the 2017 Encore to have its own twist on the the Mokka's (now called the Mokka X) exterior styling, and spy shots hint the Buick has a new front end with a smaller grille. The Encore could benefit from the Opel's redesigned dashboard, which integrates the infotainment system into the center stack. It's a very attractive change, and we hope to see the switch in the US. The Mokka X also gets improved safety tech. The German compact CUV now sports adaptive LED headlights that adjust to traffic. US law doesn't allow these intelligent parts, but the Encore might get dumber LED lights. The Opel's improved front-mounted camera also increases the traffic sign detection rate. The Mokka X is available with the updated powertrain from the Encore Sport Touring, so there might not be any engine upgrades for the Buick. Buick needs to keep the Encore fresh, as the compact CUV is the brand's best selling model. It delivered 67,549 of them in 2015, a 38.2-percent jump over the previous year. The popularity continued into January 2016 with 4,920 deliveries – up 42 percent. Related Video:

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for the New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 25 2016

Buick is dressing up the 2017 Encore for spring – specifically the New York Auto Show – where the compact crossover is expected to strut its stuff. The freshening follows the playbook of the Chevy Trax, which was also updated with a light hand. Though it keeps its familiar shape, sort of like an oversized Pontiac Vibe, the Encore gets Buick's new grille. It's a simple look with the wings bisecting the brand's tri-shield, and it calls to mind Buick's iconic front ends from yesteryear. You might remember it from the Avenir and Avista concepts. There are also new headlights. They look stolen from Audi, and it's an attention-getting gaze for the new face of the Encore. There will likely be new wheel packages, too. We can't see inside the Encore. Spy photographers couldn't get close enough to this Buick shoot in Southern California. But, we expect the interior to also mirror the Trax enhancements, which included a new instrument panel, gauges, materials, and infotainment. The Encore shares underpinnings with the Trax and Opel Mokka. We expect the Encore to arrive in late summer.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

General 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.
