1966 Buick Riviera Grand Sport Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Souderton, Pennsylvania, United States
|
We're reluctantly offering our 1966 Buick Riviera Grand Sport & to my knowledge is all original with 86,864 miles, due to our age and in need of restoration. My wife & I instantly fell in love with this Riv the first time we saw it at a local dealer in 1983. We loved the beautiful plum paint, it's black interior & the Riviera wheels. We immediately purchased it. It even had two Vargo drag way class winner trophies on the back seat that we feel belong to the car & are included, (not in the best shape, they were stored in a damp basement.) This was our only transportation for approx. 7 years when the right front electric window opener failed along with the hide away head light mechanism. It did not pass inspection & our family was growing so we purchased a Suburban. It then sat in our garage for 8 years till we purchased a Corvette. I then drove it outside, put it on jack stands, removed spark plugs, shot in lots of CRC, reinstalled plugs & drained anitfreeze. Covered with rubber roofing material & unfortunately has been in that position ever since. It is now in need of restoration as pictures show. Body is showing some rust, all window glass is in nice condition, interior is still nice, with a few flaws, one seam in headliner has come loose & needs to be restitched, battery tray has rusted out & also took out lower radiator mount. Both front floor pans show some rust along with right rear & should be replaced, trunk shows only small surface rust & is very solid inside & out. Spare tire with black rim included along with original jack. Motor spins freely, but has not been started for approx. 23 years.
In my estimation it is a genuine number matching Grand Sport: Vin# 494876H925445, engine casting # B1364704, engine stamp # 6H149620 W187, intake manifold # 1872113, turbo hydro transmission, original tag on differential cover (must use positraction fluid), Riviera chrome wheels & caps, air conditioning, power steering, tilt wheel, tinted windows, power antenna, remote mirror, plum paint & black interior with grey headliner. Tag on cowl: build date 01B ST 66-49487 EUC113522 TR627-D UU PAINT EX 2KR 4F BODY BY FISHER The only thing I changed: installed new brake lining front & rear, HD front & rear springs with adjustable shocks to accommodate a set of Tru spoke classic wire wheels & 235/75 R15 Michelin tires (these wheels & tires are not included in this auction, but are being offered separately.) Also a new automatic clutch for fan. All old parts are included. New exhaust was installed just before retirement & is still in very good condition. I am not a professional & I do not want to misrepresent this car. Our desire is for it to find a good loving home like it once had. I highly recommend interested bidders to see first hand if at all possible. Please do not hesitate or request more pictures before bidding. Call Jay @ 215-723-8685. Thank you, happy bidding!! Local pickup only, but will gladly entertain any other prearrangements. |

2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
GM trademarks 'Sport Touring' for Buick Regal, LaCrosse
Thu, May 7 2015Discovering trademarking or patents from automakers always fascinates us since the filings hint at the possible future of motoring. Based on two recent applications, Buick has something possibly brewing for two of its sedans, because the company now has the trademark for Sport Touring on the Regal (pictured above in GS trim) and LaCrosse. According to GM Inside News, both trademarks are dated April 27 and are simply described to the US Patent and Trademark Office as being for "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." That doesn't narrow things down at all. However, since the moniker is specifically for both sedans, Sport Touring might be a new trim or special edition for them. Buick had no comment when reached by Autoblog. Of course, there are a whole host of automotive trademarks that are claimed that end up with no actual vehicle in showrooms. Unfortunately, we just have to wait to find out if this is another case like the Buick Enclave Tuscan where the filing offers a preview of the future or a situation like the still long-awaited return of the Supra.
2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
