It was then sent up to San Francisco to Waters Buick were it found itself it's first owner. The car stayed in the hands of that owner until the 90's were it was found in a back yard, having been left to the elements by the original owner. The second owner saw the potential of what the car was and proceeded to restore it close to original as he could afford. The car had no rust but it did have a couple of dents, the worst was the passenger quarter right behind the door and they were addressed without having to replace any panels. The original engine and transmission were rebuilt and the rest of the car brought up to driver quality. The current owner lives in Australia, he has had me working on it for the last year and he wanted the car to be restored to a higher level but has switched his interests. This is an early car with all the documentation, cars like this don't come up often so take the opportunity to own this special car.<p align="left">The engine is the original 350, it was rebuilt around 1997 and has about 30K miles since gone through. It was pulled out, new timing chain, oil pump and water pump installed and all new gaskets. It is currently running synthetic oil. The engine was detailed with all the correct paint and decals. The carburetor was rebuilt, new fuel pump and new foam installed on the ram air openings. It has new points/cap/rotor/wires, the distributor was cleaned, new advance unit installed and counterweights lubed. The radiator was replaced and a recovery tank was added, the original radiator is included with the car. The transmission had the fluid and filter changed, it was also resealed while the engine was out. The differential had new axle seals and pinion seal. All of the belts/hoses are new and the heater core was replaced. The brakes are all brand new, all hardware, shoes, drums, hoses, master cylinder and front wheel bearings (Timken) have been replaced. The exhaust system is a brand new dual setup with mild sounding turbo mufflers, basically the way it could've sounded new (dual exhaust wasn't an option). The gas tank was taken out to put in a new sender, it was cleaned and refinished along with replacing all fuel and vent hoses and it has a new cap. The front suspension is all brand new with Moog parts, all the ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm and bushings. It has a brand new set of Cooper Cobra tires in a 205/70R 14 which is equivalent to the original optional tire size and the rally wheels were cleaned and refinished. It has a new set of KYB Excel-G shocks all around, nice riding for these older muscle cars. I installed a set of 2" coil spring spacers in the rear to give it a little bit of a raked look but they can be removed and it sits perfectly level if you prefer.<p align="left"> The interior looks good, it was done to be a driver so it doesn't have original style upholstery on the seats. The carpet and dash pad were replaced when it was restored originally. The rear package tray was replaced because it had holes cut for an aftermarket stereo so it was returned to original with insulation pad. The headliner has a couple of bad spots and a new one is included, I just didn't have time to install it for him. The door panels are in good shape and all the windows work as they should. The doors had the glass run seals replaced.<p align="left"> The exterior of the car has all the original sheet metal, there was a couple of dents worked out and the bigger one was right behind the passenger door but it was able to be straightened. It took me a while but was able to find the wheel opening molding the previous owner was never able to find. There is and was no rust except for some surface rust on the floor in the trunk that cleaned up well. There were no holes and it was cleaned, treated with POR 15 and sprayed with the correct trunk finish. The original jack and tools were restored and it retained the original jack sleeve as well. I found an original rim and installed a good used tire for the spare. I replaced the trunk seal and got a jack instruction decal for the lid. The paint is about 15 years old now, it was painted a later GM color close to the original because he thought the original was too dull. There are a few chips in the paint but it's definitely looks good. it was an above average job but not high end. The bumpers were redone at the time of paint and shine well but there are a couple of blemishes from polishing over the years. The stainless trim is good all around and it does have typical spots in the pot metal. The headlight buckets were repainted on the inside areas, all the headlight adjusters were replaced, Halogen bulbs added for the outers and headlights aimed. The grill chrome is a little worn so it could be redone and the drip rail molding was not straightened very well when the did the top but it's not to hard to do that. The glass is all original, the rear glass was resealed when the did the top, the windshield has a few tiny pits in it and a mark from a wiper blade but it could be polished out. The rest of the glass is good.<p align="left"> The car is really clean underneath and chassis is immaculate, I started to repaint the frame starting up front when that work was done so it wouldn't take much to finish it. The original exhaust was still on the car when the new exhaust was done, that alone will tell you how clean the car is underneath. All the lights work, the horn, heater fan, wipers and even the key buzzer but the radio doesn't.<p align="left">It is a pretty nice car but like most it has little things you could do to make it nicer, most of us are never done but rather just finished for now. If you want an excellent driver, I think this foots the bill. I've tried to describe it as accurately as possible and I get a little wordy but want to cover everything. If you have questions let me know. I have a ton of pictures of all different steps of the work done I will include with the car as well as some pics the previous owner had in the file showing the original engine being pulled for rebuild.<p align="left">There is a Buy-It-Now as you can see, you can make an offer if you want but there is more money tied up in it than the buy it now so don't be looking for a steal and Ram Air Buicks have started to climb in the last year or two. There would be interest in a partial trade (min. $10K cash + your car) but it would have to be a car in CA or AZ, I don't like rust. I welcome inspections, the car is here and can be viewed by appointment. The winning bidder will receive a California title, clear of any liens with the car. I can assist with arranging shipping to your location or make recommendations for shipping, of course it can be picked up in person after we have received funds. This car is located at my shop in Fresno, CA.</P> </td></tr></tbody></table></div> <br />

The 2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring is presumably a new, sportier version of Buick's large sedan. And on the surface, it does look more exciting. It has less chrome trim than its counterparts, the grille gets a body color surround and a black wire mesh insert. It has a simple little spoiler at the back, 19-inch wheels, and the all-important badging. We can't imagine Ford is thrilled at the use of the "ST" nomenclature on display at the back, though. Unfortunately, Buick hasn't really done anything to actually make this car sportier than other LaCrosse sedans. It has the same 3.6-liter V6 found in other versions making the same 310 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. That power goes through the same nine-speed automatic as the others, too. Additionally, the Sport Touring is only available with front-wheel drive. Still, if you like the style, and the LaCrosse's standard performance is suitable to you, you'll want to know how much it costs. Base price is $41,220. You'll also have a choice of five colors: white, black, red, and two kinds of silver. And if the LaCrosse ST isn't sporty enough for you, you might want to check out the Regal GS. It has the same engine, but with a bit more torque, all-wheel drive, is in a smaller body, and has hatchback versatility.

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump, who is engaged in a trade war with Beijing, said on Friday that the largest U.S. automaker, General Motors, should begin moving its operations back to the United States. "General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there. They moved major plants to China, BEFORE I CAME INTO OFFICE. This was done despite the saving help given them by the USA. Now they should start moving back to America again?" Trump said in a post on Twitter. Trump appeared to be referring to a Bloomberg News story that reported GM's hourly workforce of 46,000 U.S. workers has fallen behind that of Fiat Chrysler as the smallest of the Detroit Three automakers. Over the past four decades, GM has dramatically cut the size of its overall U.S. workforce, which numbered nearly 620,000 in 1979. GM did not directly comment on Trump's tweet. "GMÂ’s China operations are not a threat to U.S. jobs," the company said in a fact sheet, noting that its joint ventures have sent $16 billion in equity income to GM since 2010 and that it has invested $23 billion in U.S. operations since 2009. GM's U.S. hourly workforce has fallen by about 4,000 jobs since the end of 2018 to about where it was a decade ago. Trump's ire with GM comes as contract talks with the United Auto Workers union with the Detroit Three automakers intensify ahead of a Sept. 14 deadline. Trump has previously attacked GM for building vehicles in Mexico and for ending production at plants in Michigan, Ohio and Maryland and threatened to cut GM subsidies in retaliation. GM's decision to close four plants in the United States is a central issue in the contract talks. Trump has made boosting auto jobs a key priority and has often attacked automakers on Twitter for not doing enough to boost U.S. employment. His 2020 re-election bid will hinge on holding key industrial battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that narrowly voted for him in 2016. China is the worldÂ’s largest auto market, and government policy favors automakers assembling vehicles there, and not importing them from overseas. In response to TrumpÂ’s latest tariffs, China said last week it will reinstitute 25% tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles. The U.S. is imposing 15% tariffs on more than $125 billion in Chinese goods starting Sunday. GM sold 3.6 million vehicles in China last year accounting for 43% of its worldwide sales.

Buick is the first US-based automotive brand to crack the top 10 in Consumer Reports magazine's annual brand report cards. US automakers also placed three vehicles on the magazine's list of "top picks" for vehicles, the first time that's happened in 17 years. The rankings were unveiled Tuesday in the magazine's annual auto issue. Buick placed seventh in the brand rankings. But the brand rankings and top picks still were dominated by Japanese and German manufacturers, with Lexus, Mazda, Toyota, Audi and Subaru taking the top five brand spots. The magazine calculates each brand's overall score with a composite of its vehicles' road-test scores and reliability scores for each model in its annual survey of subscribers. It's the third year for the brand rankings. Porsche placed just ahead of Buick at number six, while Honda, Kia and BMW rounded out the top 10 brands. Mercedes-Benz, Acura and Infiniti all suffered precipitous declines in their rankings due to unreliable new models or poor road test scores. Mercedes fell out of the top 10 to 21st, while Acura dropped from number two to 11 with an unimpressive test of the new RLX sedan, the magazine said. In the model rankings, the top overall finisher was California-based Tesla's Model S electric car, for the second year in a row. The Model S, which cost the magazine $89,650, finished first due to its performance and technical innovations, the magazine said. Buick's Regal midsize car beat the BMW 328i as the top sports sedan, and the Chevrolet Impala was named the top large car. The model rankings show Consumer Reports' favorite among the 270 vehicles its team has recently tested. The rankings are closely watched in the auto industry, since shoppers consistently cite Consumer Reports as a main source of car-buying advice. Other top picks included the Subaru Impreza in the compact car category, Subaru Legacy in midsize cars, Toyota Prius as the best green car, Audi A6 luxury car, Subaru Forester small SUV, Toyota Highlander midsize SUV and the Honda Odyssey minivan. Japanese vehicles won six of 10 top pick categories, but that was the smallest number in the 19-year history of Consumer Reports top picks. "For years domestic automakers built lower-priced and lower-quality alternatives to imports, but those days are behind us," said Jake Fisher, the magazine's director of automotive testing. But other U.S.-based automakers still had problems.
