1969 Buick Grand Sport, Classic American Muscle Car on 2040-cars
Roanoke, Virginia, United States
* 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. |

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston
Fri, Sep 1 2017DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
