I am selling this running, driving 1970 Riviera at no reserve.  Included with it is a 1970 Riviera GS which is complete except for its engine and transmission.  Both cars have open Tennessee titles.  The car pictured is the primary vehicle.  Green with green vinyl top and either very dark green or black bench seat interior in poor condition.  Absolutely stock and unmolested.  Only slight rust, the worst being in the floors and the fender skirts.  Stock engine with original air cleaner with stickers still attached.  Excellent set of matching bias-ply whitewalls just recently installed.  The chrome wheels from the GS parts car are currently on this car.  Starts right up and runs good.  Moves and stops but I have only driven it up and down the street.  A restoration project but certainly a realistic one.  The only odd thing about it is that it has an electric fuel pump for whatever reason that is turned on and off by a toggle switch which just lays on the floor.   Works great, but not right.  This car has its original owner's manual, pre-delivery sheet, new vehicle warranty booklet, accessory pamphlet, stereo booklet, and Protect-O-Plate.  Sold new out of Bristol, Virginia.  This is a great-looking and rarely seen old car that deserves to be restored.

The parts car is a 1970 Riviera GS that is complete minus engine and transmission.  It has bucket seats, console, tilt wheel, and even an original Buick 8-track tape player.  Has a title.  All glass is good and all trim is there.  Floors are decent.  Paint is nonexistent.  All in one piece - not boxes of parts.  Its chrome wheels are on the green car and the original Riviera hubcaps are on it now.  Has the original posi-traction rear end which I have been offered $500 for by itself but wouldn't take it.

In this deal you get two cars.  The idea is to make a really cool Riviera GS and have a ton of valuable parts left over.  The only things missing are the center caps for the chrome wheels.  I only have one.  Almost everything else is there in duplicate.  The interiors of both cars are weak but salvageable.

The green car is stored inside my garage and has been for several years. The parts car is under cover and out of the weather but obviously has been outside for a long time previously.
  
I do not think you should even consider driving the green car home as it has not been on the road in many years.  The paint looks better in the pictures than it does in person as I had just washed the dust off it and it is still wet in the photos.  The paint is not very good.

These are remarkably styled cars that you just don't see every day.  Great documentation on the green car and titles for both.  Lots of spare parts.  A GS car with all the GS goodies!  I need to move these cars and I will listen to any offer you may have.  I am interested in old motorcycles and will consider any schemes you might have for you to get these Buicks in exchange for an interesting bike or two you might have laying around.  Let me know.  You can reach me by return email or call or text me at 865-387-0925 if you have questions or if you have swapping ideas.

Trademarks indicate Buick Regal wagon could be on the way

Wed, Dec 23 2015

American wagon fans have been waiting for General Motors to import a Buick-badged version of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer since the current Insignia-based Regal hit dealers. If a new patent filing is any indication, that day could be coming soon. Then again, it might not mean anything. AutoGuide reports that Buick has filed two trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office for "Motor land vehicles, namely automobiles." You can see the trademarks for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx" here and here. "Tour" smacks of wagon models, while the "x" – for all-wheel drive – makes us wonder if maybe we'll be seeing a rebadged version of the high-riding Opel Insignia Country Tourer (shown above). This isn't the first time Buick has stoked the hopes of US wagon fans, though. Earlier this year, trademarks were filed for the "Regal Sport Touring," a name that's very close to the Euro-market wagon's title. In fact, that trademark had the same description as the Tourx/Regal Tourx filings. As we've established before, automakers file trademarks all the time. It's far from a guarantee that anything will come of such trademarked names. Still, two wagon-ish filings with the USPTO from Buick in under a year makes it seem like there's at least someone at the Trishield brand that's campaigning for a long-roof Regal. Fight the good fight, friend. Related Video:

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
