1983 BUICK RIVIERA CONVERTIBLE, EASY PROJECT, LOW MILES - This beautiful Riviera is one of 1,750 built in 1983. It had the highest sticker price of any GM car sold that year. This example has the 307 V8. This particular car was sold new in Houston, TX. It was shipped to me in WV over a year ago. Since that time, the following have been replaced: windshield, exhaust, bumper corners. Also installed Coker American Classic tires. This car has been sitting in the way since that time. Therefore, I have decided to cut my losses and let her go. Overall, it is a nice car that looks great. It has very nice paint and chrome, nice straight body. Interior is nice, but does have some imperfections: slight crack in the dash pad and the driver's seat bottom has been repaired at some time, nice job, but slightly lighter in color, carpet is very nice and the door panels are also nice for the age. The car drives, shifts and brakes fine; not sure about the cruise control or the A/C. The A/C may need charged, but the heat and defog work. The convertible top is in good condition. it has no tears and raises and lowers fine. The top does have some light staining which may scrub out. You don't even notice it from 10' away. The top boot is nice.
Some of the items that need attention are: power antenna won't work; 6-way passenger seat doesn't move; the tilt works; power locks don't work; the right RR window will not raise or lower (relay, switch) - it just happened; the right hood hinge or prop rod needs replaced or adjusted, it hangs up a little when raising the hood. There may be other small issues that I am not aware of since I have not really drove it much. The car is really nice and solid underneath. There are no rust issues or paint work needed, only a little mechanical time will be needed to have a nice Riviera Convertible. Build sheet is "in-hand" along with the original manuals.
I reserve the right to end the auction early; although it has not been listed for sale on any other website or publication. Car can be stored indoors for up to 30-days, but full pay is required in 7-days. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 304-261-1643.

Buick reveals production GL8 Century minivan, and you can't have one
Fri, Jun 3 2022The futuristic GL8 MPV concept Buick showed late last year in China is headed to production. This jazzed-up people-mover appears to have held true to its concept design, with only a few elements of the exterior getting attention before heading to the assembly line. At first blush, the most significant change from the concept is the exterior paint scheme, which was essentially inverted over several of its surfaces. The glossy silver grille of the concept gave way to a more conventional honeycomb pattern for the production version, but accents in a similar silver finish are now visible along the hood and roofline and the rising wave that peaks just in front of the GL8 Century's C-pillar. Admittedly, the production car loses some of the wilder elements of the concept's cabin, but perhaps not as much as you might expect based on the interior photo included here. We can only see the rear seats, which give off sort of a baby private jet vibe that is vastly more impressive than what Buick offers in its American SUVs. The Century will sit atop Buick's GL8 lineup of MPVs (which includes the more-pedestrian GL8 ES and GL8 Legacy) in China when it goes on sale later this year.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
2020 Buick Encore GX pricing makes it a better bargain than the smaller Encore
Thu, Nov 14 2019In April, Buick revealed the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai. At the time, we thought there was a chance the slightly larger GX would supplant the Encore in the U.S. By August, we learned that wouldn't happen, the Encore GX slotting into the lineup between the Encore and the Envision. With nearly $8,000 between the starting prices of the Encore and the Envision, there'd be plenty of room for the GX to find a good home leaving plenty of MSRP daylight between the crossover bookends. That doesn't appear to be what's happened, though. CarsDirect got hold of an early order guide for the Encore GX, and writes that the Encore GX in Preferred trim will cost $24,100 before a $995 destination charge, totaling $25,095. That's $900 more than the entry-level Encore in 1SV trim, but $500 less than the Encore in comparable Preferred trim. The Encore offers an intermediate Sport Touring trim between Preferred and top-level Essence trims. The Encore GX will come in an intermediate Select trim, which CarsDirect didn't mention a price for. Stepping up to the top Essence variant with front-wheel drive costs $29,495 for the Encore GX, $800 less than a similar Encore, which costs $30,295. If these are the figures that show up on dealer lots, the Encore GX seems like a no-brainer. The Encore rides on an older GM platform called GEM, for Global Emerging Markets, the GX model is built on GM's new VSS-F architecture. Both are fine looking vehicles, but the GX is a little more handsome. The Encore offers one engine, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, shifting through a six-speed transmission. The base engine on the Encore GX will be a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 137 hp and 166 lb-ft, shifting through a CVT. The second GX engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 155 hp and 174 lb-ft, optional on the front-wheel drive Select and Essence trims, standard on every all-wheel-drive model. That more powerful motor shifts through a nine-speed automatic. As if all that weren't enough, the GX's reason for being is that it offers more room. An additional three inches in length provides an extra 4.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. The GX wins on safety, too, coming standard with tech like forward collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
