I've owned this car since 1999 and it has been a lot of fun to own and drive. The combination of the torquey inline 8 and the Dynaflow automatic, while not a rocket ship, makes this a really nice car to cruise in. Many a trouble free Sunday driving up and down PCH from Huntington Beach to Dana Point and back again.The car originally came out of the Denver area. I bought it at a Cruise Brothers Auction in Scottsdale in 1999, and it has been in California ever since. The cars interior is original. The front seats are torn, but the rear seat is in excellent shape. All the interior trim is there. The headliner is in good shape, though shows some age. The rubber and glass are in good shape. There are two very small rock chips in the windshield. There is one very small piece of trim missing from the exterior between the right front and right rear door. The paint is in OK shape, with small amounts of rust beginning to show in the paint around the rear window. Also, there is rust in the front of each rear wheel. I took the chrome trim off of both sides so you could see it in the pictures. Technically you could put the trim back on and no one would notice. The headlights, tail lights, and turn signals work. Windshield wippers wipe. The tires are from 1999 and show cracking on the sidewalls, but they have less than 5000 miles on them.

This car is significant in that it represents the first year GM's chief designer Harley Earl incorporated "fins" on a GM product (Cadillac being the other). Also the first year for the iconic ventiports on the front fenders and the last year for the divided, two piece windshield.

It has a 150bhp, 320cui inline 8cyl engine with a single barrel carburetor and oil bath air filter. Dynaflow torque converter automatic, org 6 volt electrical system.

Now here comes the typical story: It ran great until I went to China to teach English this summer, but now I can't seem to get it started. I think the gasket in the fuel pump has dried out from the car not being driven for three months. Fuel is not getting to the carburetor.

The car is currently in San Clemente California. Current tags and clean title. Please contact me for additional information and photos.

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.

Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
