1969 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Corsicana, Texas, United States
|
This has been a Texas car since new. No rust issues. I am the 3rd owner. The odometer reads 145,000 miles and is accurate. The 2nd owner bought the car from a workmate back in the 70s and kept it till 2012. At 135,000 miles he did a major rebuild on the motor and trans in 1988. In 1992 he had the car repainted with basecoat/clearcoat and had a new vinyl roof installed. The car was then stored in his garage for 20 years until I bought it. The paint still looks like new. There are 2 minor scratches on the very front of the rf fender when he backed it out of his garage. The bumpers still look great and all the trim is in good condition. The interior is original but could use replacing. It still shows well but replacing it would make this a great looking vehicle.The dash is intact as the new stereo system was installed without cutting the faceplate area. Also the rear speakers were installed in the original location and the rear deck was uncut. The front speakers were installed in custom front kick panels.The carpet and logo floor mats are new. The front suspension has been redone, all new shocks and rear coil springs done. The driveshaft has been rebalanced. I have replaced the steering gearbox.master cylinder,distributor,plug wires,front brakes have been overhauled,(new rear shoes in trunk). The a/c system has been gone thru and works fine. We enjoyed the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour last June. Drove 3200 miles in 8 days without a problem.The tires have 5000 miles on them and 1 wheel center cap is cracked by the tire shop but is available online. One bit of trivia is the fact that we got 13 miles per gallon on the tour when all I expected was 10 (log book in glovebox). This car draws compliments very time we stop for gas cause people rarely see them. With a little investment this is an outstanding car for the money. Required from the winning bidder is a 500.00 non-refundable deposit due through PayPal within 24 hours of the auctions close, balance due in cash or by cetified cashiers check within 7 days.Shipping costs and arrangement are the buyers responsibility and we reserve the right to terminate the auction early. |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy
Wed, 31 Oct 2012Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
