 * SUPER DEPENDABLE DRIVER *
Authentic classic muscle !! at a reasonable price!!
This car runs so well, I would trust it on a cross-country trip. I have driven it to Pigeon Forge and Myrtle Beach to enter it in car show and it drove flawlessly.
Most of the restoration was done by the prior owner, and I have done some mechanical updates.
It is not a trailer queen, this muscle car was meant to run down the road and it does that quite well.
It has the original Buick 350 V8 engine and TH350 automatic transmission. The original 4bbl carburetor has been replaced with a new 4bbl Edelbrock carburetor.
True mileage is unknown, but the odometer reads about 38,500 miles.
Parts added in the last few years include American Racing Torque Trust rims, B.F.Goodrich radials, complete new exhaust, aluminum radiator and all hoses, chrome flex fan, chrome overflow tank, brake booster, brake master cylinder, stainless steel brake lines, stainless steel transmission cooler lines, Forged Aluminum Transmission Pan, forged aluminum "GS" differential cover, front and rear shocks, gas tank, fuel gauge sending unit, "resto" AM/FM stereo, front and rear speakers, hidden radio antenna, seat belts, chrome fire extinguisher, removable anti-theft steering wheel, Buick valve covers, Edelbrock air cleaner, plus other stuff I've forgotten.
The prior owner painted the car and added a new vinyl roof, new carpeting, new headliner, re-chromed bumpers, new heater core, plus replaced other maintenance and trim items. The transmission has always worked flawlessly and was serviced last year to cure a few leaks.
There are some blemishes in the paint, but nothing too serious.
The prior owner installed after-market vinyl covered bucket seats and had the rear bench seat covered in a matching "resto-mod" color scheme---black and orange.
If you are interested, please email your phone number to me and I will call you to discuss what's great with this car, and what could use some attention.
Remember, it is 45 years old. It uses some oil, just like most of these cars do.
I have won trophies in all local car shows I have entered.
I have more images if you are interested.
Thank you for considering this classic muscle car.
Reasonable cash offers considered after you have checked out this AMERICAN MUSCLE ! Clear Virginia title in my name. No liens.

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions

Sat, 01 Mar 2014

With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."

Opel Insignia, the harbinger of a Buick, rolls out at Geneva

Tue, Mar 7 2017

GM's sale of Opel/Vauxhall to French automaker PSA Groupe will take effect later this year, but new models roll out regardless, as Opel debuted its all-new 2018 Insignia flagship (and Buick Regal clone) Tuesday at the Geneva Motor Show. The midsize Insignia, which bears a great resemblance to a Mazda6, will come in Grand Sport and Sports Tourer (that is, a wagon - will Buick offer a wagon?). It is built in Russelsheim, Germany. As part of the GM-PSA deal, the two companies agree that PSA, maker of Peugeot and Citroen, will continue to supply some Holden and Buick models; Opel models form the basis for several of Buick's core products, including the Encore small crossover and Regal sedan. But as the two brands part ways, we may well see Buicks remaining Buick-y, and Opels evolving away from GM parts and designs. Seeking a little clarity on what the sale of Opel means, we asked Buick and were directed to a statement: General Motors announced an historic agreement to sell the company's Opel business to PSA Group. This is a major milestone and one that we believe will improve the business prospects of each company and deliver significant value to shareholders, customers and employees around the world. Buick and Opel have historically cooperated on a number of product programs. Buick products will not be impacted by today's announcement. We will continue to deliver our product plans with excellence and precision. Buick has delivered three consecutive years of record global sales, we are General Motors' second largest international brand, and we have built an excellent reputation for quality and customer service. The new products Buick will announce in 2017 will help us build on this momentum. The new Regal/Insignia is expected to use the same platform as the new Buick LaCrosse, which is also shared by the Chevy Malibu and Impala. They should once again be available with front- or all-wheel drive. With the Opel versions debuting at Geneva, the Buick Regal will possibly follow at the New York auto show in April. The Insignia will start at about $25,500 and has the now-customary roster of high-tech options such as active lane keeping, a heads-up display, 360-degree-vew cameras, a hood designed to increase pedestrian safety and a new Opel OnStar Personal Assistant to help book hotel rooms on the fly or search for parking spots. The car comes with turbocharged four-cylinder engine options, an eight-speed automatic, and it's 400 pounds lighter than its predecessor.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
