Beautiful 1966 Buick Riviera Automatic 2 Door hardtop with 425 V8 Wildcat Engine.
(PLEASE LOOK BELOW FOR 60+ Pictures and just wait to let them load) I've ALSO uploaded a quick video on Youtube of the engine running. It's located below too. It's not the best quality but you can hear the power and get the idea there. I'm quite sure (if my memory is correct) that this car has matching numbers for the car and engine. Frankly, I can't remember where the numbers were on the engine. If this means anything to you I will try to check for sure. Here's the deal, I have not used this car for quite some time and It needs to go to someone who will drive it, give it the TLC it needs and get some actual use out of it. I don't want it to fall apart sitting around when someone could be driving this thing and loving it like I did. This was my daily drive car several years ago. Unfortunately, the gas prices finally made it too tough for me to keep driving it as my daily driver. I parked it and drove it here and there but nothing too much. Eventually, I just wasn't driving it anymore at all and would start it here and there, or drive it up and down the road a bit. It needs to sell now. I just don't have time for it anymore. I will be blunt with the condition and issues of the car. Here goes. The Car actually looks really nice. The issues it has are minor and really just come down to giving it some TLC, some general repairs/upkeep and paying more attention to it. 90,975 actual original miles. The paint- Needs a good wax job. The Paint's not perfect by any means. Has a number of imperfections and age is starting to show on it. There are a number of minor chips here and there that don't add up to much. There are a number of bubbles in the paint which of course is rust forming. Most of these have not come to the surface as yet but they are there in several spots. A few places show some rust through the bubbles. Nothing horrid but they are there for sure. The rust is still VERY much manageable. Easily fixed if you spend the time or money on doing it. No rust holes etc. Still VERY SOLID! I've tried taking as many pictures as possible to show all the spots. Most are around the fenders. A few on the hood, one area around rear passenger glass. Please note that the rear driver quarter panel had light damage to it and was repaired as soon as it happened. Although it was repaired you can now see a 'line' there now as it's been a few years and the repair has since 'cracked' some. It's not awful and doesn't stand out much but it's there. Again, it was a minor issue. (my dad backed his car into mine and it hit the rear quarter) Again, looks good as the pictures show but those are the issues with the paint and repairs. Underbody- Under the car it looks good, still very solid. General looking surface rust in places of course. This car had some undercoating applied years ago so it looks Very nice in places. No rust holes or anything like that!! SOLID. The Mufflers are done, rusted! They were on the way out when I bought them and now they are done! Need new ones for sure. Trunk looks good, again very solid, no rust holes or much surface rust for that matter. Looks good, dirty though. Doors, Trunk and hood close Near Perfectly. Tight well fitting eaisly closeable doors. They feel great. About as good as you can get. Inside- The seats are in very good condition. No Rips or tears that I noticed. Seats look very nice. White Leatherette was cleaned many times over the years and conditioned so they have plenty of life in them. Could use a pro cleaning though. Carpet very good, no real issues. Could use a pro cleaning once more. Headliner looks near perfect, no issues. Has front and rear seatbelts. Front lap belts only. Heat worked good but didn't check on it when I took pictures today. Dash not awful but does have a crack or two in it. Has some rust on dash where it meets the windshield, as many old cars do. Could use some TLC there. The lid that holds the cigarette lighter won't stay closed. I always left it open because I used it to charge my phone regularly. Console looks very good. Black Leatherette/Vinyl in good condition, no issues. Here's a note for the whole car, inside and out.- The chrome inside and out could pretty much all use some TLC. Some of the outside chrome looks great, some inside looks great while some outside needs TLC as does some inside, especially on the inside doors. Also note that some of the chrome letters on the car (hood, trunk) are missing. They were that way when I bought it and I never looked for replacements) Another note for inside- This car has power windows (front and back) and power driver seat. All the power options worked for me fine when I drove it regularly but I have No doubt this will be another TLC issue. I'm sure the doors need taken apart and some conditioning done to the power for the windows. They work but last time I tried them the windows had a hard time going up or down. Gunk inside that needs cleaned out, no doubt. Again, Just some TLC Issues. Nothing God Awful but little things that need addressed by someone with time. The Radio is not connected. Probably would need TLC there too. I'm not even sure where the speakers are if they are there. I never looked into it as I had a MP3 Setup I would bring with me in my car. Windshield looks good, no real issues. All glass looks good, no real issues. No cracks etc. Tires were put on shortly before I parked it so they have plenty of life left, I'm sure. Tried to take a picture to show tread. The Front headlights do not fold as they should. I had taken it to a shop after purchase to check on it and I think they said the part that makes them move wasn't working right or not getting power right. AGAIN, I never looked any farther as I didn't mind the headlights staying out. I figure it will cost a few hundred at most to fix this issue. Engine- 425 Wildcat engine. Engine runs strong. I'm positive it can use a tune up as this hasn't been done for quite awhile. Powerful engine. When I drove it daily, always had plenty of pickup. Didn't burn oil (at least no more so than any other 1966 Engine that wasn't been picked over by a gearhead). Again, I'm sure some TLC would fine tune it even more. Solid Engine though. ANOTHER ISSUE TO NOTE- This car is not ready to drive away with. The Break line has a whole in it somewhere or is broke. Again, needs some TLC to get this minor issue fixed. I don't have time to do it and I don't want to pay to have it towed to a shop to do this minor issue. Since it's a cheap fix and since I was selling the car, didn't see the point of spending that much money on this issue. Breaks were in good shape and I'm sure have life left in them. I never ran anything down to where it was falling apart so the breaks, tires should be good to go. Might need a new battery on the car. I'm charging it as we speak but had to put another one on it to start it for the video I'm posting to show it running. Might be fine after a charge though, don't know. Transmission- Never had a single issue with it, should be good to go. Once more, this is actually a very nice car that need some Tender Loving Care. Somone who wants one of these and has time for her would love it. Would be a perfect driver or a perfect start to a car you could take to shows. Everyone loves the style of this car. Muscle car body with luxury interior. What's not to love! PLEASE ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY! I'm pricing this to sell! NO RESERVE. It NEEDS TO GO! I want it to go to someone who will love it. Ok, as long as you pay I guess I don't care, lol. I HOPE it goes to someone who will love it and get many years of good times out of it. After the auction is done, I will email the winning bidder to find out how they want to pay and obtain the car. Once more, this car can't drive away. YOU WILL NEED a Flatbed or tow truck. Whatever you decide. I would of course say that a flatbed is the best option. If you plan on picking it up in person, that's fine. If you plan on hiring a shipping company that's fine too. We will just need to have it all set up beforehand so there is no confusion. Payment- If you're coming personally to pick it up I would prefer Cash. $100 dollar bills please. A Wire Transfer is also fine as long as the money is safely in my account BEFORE you pick the car up. NO PERSONAL CHECKS. I will take a bank check but once more, it will need to CLEAR into my account BEFORE you take the car. I would prefer a Wire Transfer or Cash as they are the easiest to deal with. If you have another way to pay, please ask before auction end. I would prefer not to use Paypal other than to take a down payment as the fees are high. I have Title in Hand and is clear. I've tried to go over everything I can BUT if I missed something let me know! ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, ASK! I will do my best to answer them!

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up
Thu, 08 May 2014The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid
Thu, Nov 5 2020General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.
