Here is a list of much of the work performed on this car:
The 300 cubic inch V8 motor has been completely rebuilt. New pistons, valves, hydraulic rockers etc. All built to original factory specifications The factory aluminum intake and aluminum heads have been painted as they would have been from the factory. New Holley 2 barrel carburetor. Works better than the original but the original carburetor will come with the car. Transmission has been upgraded from the original 2 speed automatic transmission to a freshley rebuilt 3 speed turbo 350. The differential has been checked out, was fine, and the fluid was changed. Custom dual exhaust was built for the car. It runs up and over the rear axel so it looks like a factory original exhaust. New full length floor pans and trunk floor sheet metal was installed. All rust repair was done by cutting out the cancer and welding in new metal. No half-assed bondo or fiberglass was used to cover up anything! All suspension parts that normally wear out were replaced with new parts and all of the suspension parts were painted with POR-15 to stop any future rust! (if you don't know what POR-15 is, you need to look into it....it's a fantastic product that eliminates rust problems!) All new interior. Carpet, seat covers, door panels, dash etc. Almost every piece of chrome was rechromed and every stainless moulding was professionally polished. New black vinyl top, plus the top frame was disassembled and restored! (Just the top assembly took nearly a week to restore!) It's a manual not a power top. It is very easy to put up and take down. Car has been lowered several inches. It could stand to be lowered a few more to be honest. New windshield, all other glass is original and in excellent condition. All new brakes. 2 new drums. This includes new hoses and even a new master cylinder. It stops great for 4 wheel drum brakes! It does not have power brakes. Oil pressure, water temp & amp guages have been added. Factory AM radio still in the dash. An aftermarket stereo that tilts away out of site has been added. Custom made front kick panels have built in stereo speakers! New Boyd Coddington aluminum rims and tires It starts easily, stops straight and fast, runs nice and seems to drive down the road straight! Simply put, it runs like a new car! Listed for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the asking price is met. |

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
Buick's big boxy crossover design sketch looks surprisingly good
Fri, Sep 1 2023The current Buick lineup is fairly bland, consisting solely of amorphous crossovers in small, medium, and large. Fortunately, the brand is showing signs of life at the General Motors design studio with new products like the Envista, and where designers have envisioned (no pun intended) a large, boxy vehicle that looks like a Kia EV9 competitor. The unnamed premium crossover was penned by designer Geoffrey Richmond and has a well-defined profile with a traditional SUV's squarish greenhouse. It could portend the next-generation Enclave, which shares a similar fishhook headlight design. However, the illustration's front end is a lot more cohesive, with foglamp housings that meet at the outer edges of the headlights. The front end has sort of the Tesla EV duckbill thing going on, but a wide lower intake indicates that there could be an engine under the hood. In any case, this is just an ideation so there may not even be a platform to put this body on yet. That would be a shame, as the Enclave has been out since 2018 and could use a makeover. The V6-powered crossover was supposed to reposition the brand, and we found it quiet and surprisingly comfortable in our review. However, that hasn't been enough to catch on with trendsetters — Enclaves are rarer than Bentleys here in L.A. The "bar of soap" crossover trend is over. Nowadays, for better or worse, buyers want aggressive, rugged looking crossovers even if they're just going on a Target run. A bold design like the one Richmond painted might change the Enclave's fortunes. And maybe they can bring back the portholes. Related video: 2024 Buick Encore GX Nalgene water bottle test
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
