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.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating

Wed, May 18 2022

It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score.Â SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 Â— earned a "Good" rating in every test category.Â Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested.Â The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

Neil Young's 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark brings $400,000 at auction

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Singer-songwriter Neil Young's extensive collection of model trains have fetched nearly $300,000 at auction, along with classic cars and musical equipment owned by the 72-year-old folk-rock icon. Young, a model train enthusiast for decades, offered more than 230 pieces at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles from his collection of Lionel trains, including a custom-painted Commodore Vanderbilt 4-6-4 locomotive that sold for $10,000. Several cars that Young owns were also sold. A 1953 Buick code 76X Roadmaster Skylark convertible with a steering wheel hub that says, "Customized for Neil Young," went for $400,000, the auction house said on Saturday. Young, best known for his Woodstock-era songs as well as his work with the bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young has said the vast model train layouts at his California ranch helped him connect with his son Ben, who has cerebral palsy. Other items auctioned off on Saturday included some of Young's guitars, amplifiers and microphones. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Bridge School in California, which Young's ex-wife Pegi Young co-founded in 1986 for children with severe speech and physical impairments.Reporting by Joseph AxRelated Video:
