1968 Buick Riviera Hardtop 2-door 7.0l, 360hp, Classic on 2040-cars
Steilacoom, Washington, United States
This car is beautiful for it's age. 1968 Buick Riviera with a little over 20,000 miles (no way to know for certain, but I assume it has turned at least once) as far as I can tell with the documentation I received. It has a 430-4, V8 "Big Block" engine that pushes 360hp. I have the stock rims and whitewall tires on hand if the future owner requests them, but opted to upgrade them to their current look. The car has been detailed extensively and the craftsmanship has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. The paint is original, but has been repaired over the years. The body is free of rust holes and is in remarkable shape. The engine has a new radiator, new brake drums, all hoses flushed, new battery (starts every time), new shocks, new wheel cylinders, new hoses and spark plug wires, just to name a few. I am not interested in dealing with anyone not willing to travel to my location or willing to ensure full payment is made before shipping the car. Clean title in hand to a serious bidder. She runs strong with minor cosmetic issues only. The interior is in awesome condition. The 1968 Buick Riviera was luxury American Muscle in it's day.
Do your own research on these. There are ones online that are in an unrestored-state for under $10,000 from time-to-time, but with those, you would still have to put up the money to get the mechanical condition of the car up to par as cars this old are prone mechanical problems. The car is 46 years and this one has a fully functioning mechanical system that has been professionally inspected and repaired. If you want an American Muscle Car that gets heads to turn, then this is the car for you. Call Jeff if interested. **Also, I have all the repair manuals for all Buick models in 1968. I purchased this disc that has the 1968 Body By Fisher repair manual as well as the services manual. This is all a person would need to attain part numbers and to make minor to large fixes by yourself. This can save tons of money on repairs for these older cars and makes it a challenge to track down replacement parts; kind of like a treasure hunt! New parts: *New Tires w/ Rims *New Brake Drums (all 4) *Replaced Shocks (Rides like a muscle car, not a boat) *New Radiator (with new hoses) *Replaced Power Steering Pump *Newly painted hood (no dents or rust) *New Spark Plugs and Custom Wiring *New Kicker 6x9 speakers (rear), and dual 2.5 speakers (front) installed *(Radio is an older cassette deck but has an adapter for hooking to any MP3 device so the sound is good quality) *All leather interior has been treated *New interior carpet installed (I am an amateur, so this is not a professional job, it still looks good) *All chrome has been treated and polished *Engine growls like American Muscle should *New air filter *All interior vinyl has been treated *New headlight air hydraulic lines installed (These headlights flip up and into the body when not in use and are in perfect working order which is rare due to the age) *All wiring has been verified and all lights work properly *New starter and ignition system *New battery and new connections *The trunk has been stripped to bare metal and sealed |

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Thu, Jul 24 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore. Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013. According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.). The other issue plaguing Buick's lineup is a lack of a midsize crossover. This is particularly damning for the brand as most of its showrooms are shared with GMC, which boasts its own midsizer in the form of the Terrain. With the upcoming Envision (see here for teasers), that problem should be addressed. Like the LaCrosse, the Envision will likely be a 2016 model. It will debut and launch in China early next year, while we can expect it to arrive stateside later next year, or even early in 2016. For American consumers, both a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the aforementioned 2.0T could see action in the Envision. Finally, while Buick can boast a pair of vehicles available with manual transmissions, it's still far from what we'd call a brand for fun driving experiences. Of course, one way of solving that problem is with a two-door convertible. Yes, it's extremely likely that the Euro-market Opel Cascada convertible will be sold in the US early in 2016. Whether it keeps the Cascada name is unclear (all in favor of Skylark, say "aye"). Regardless, adding a reasonably priced, relaxed, two-door droptop to the Buick range to fill the space left by the not-so-dearly departed Chrysler 200 Convertible seems like a no brainer.
Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met
Sat, May 9 2015After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
