  I found this car on my mail route last summer and passed it on to my inlaws in arkansas, they have enjoyed it for about a year and just purchased 18 acres and are going to build a house so they are passing it on to the next care taker. 350 2 barrel automatic on column, power sterring, a/c 73,000 original miles. I drove it from arkansas back to lees summit this morning (4 hours on the 21st) and it ran beautifully. Dorothy archer bought it new from dunn buick in oklahoma city ok on 8-27-69, it spent part of it's life there and then she moved to ellinwood ks, she owned it up until 2008, the story i got was that she drove it to woodstock in 69, the second owner also lived in kansas. He did the gs conversion (original gs hood and gs badges, brand new magnum 500 wheels and bf goodrich t/a's) the gold was repainted because of the original badge holes, the white painted top is original paint. I have about 23 pieces of documentation/records, the protectoplate the pre delivery checklist with protectoplate embossed on it, warranty book with protectoplate numbers on it, insurance policies, service records from sears, montgomery wards and her local shop, original dealership key chain, manuals and booklets, there is a plastic holder on the dash with service dates from 2007 from the shop in ellinwood, there are oil change dates and oil type written in grease pen from the 80's on the fan shroud along with some factory chalk marks on the firewall. This buick is unbelievable, it's the only classic car that i have experienced that starts runs and drives just like new, high idle kicks down twice to normal idle, suspension acts just like new, doors shut and lock like new, windows work like new. The interior is all original parchment/ black except for the carpet i think, it usually fades after 45 years, and the kick panels are plastic with speakers in them but the original am radio. The dash is pristine speedometer is smooth and true no jumping around a/c blows ice cold. My father in law drove it to arkansas last summer with the a/c on and got 18 mpg. Headliner door panels rear deck all in excellent shape. Exterior and paint are in excellent condition, glass is excellent, stainless and chrome are excellent, door handles in and out and window cranks excellent no pitting. This car has never been taken apart, the weatherstripping is original and still soft nothing is cracked or brittle, body is super solid, there is light surface rust on the underneath of floor pans as you can see in pics, you can still see the bare metal, unbelievable. It wouldn't surprise me if it has never sat outside it's entire life. The motor runs smooth and strong no smoking oil consumption, or leaking, tranny shifts smooth fluid smells good. I drove it 80 mph most of the way back from arkansas, i let go of the wheel it drove strait, brakes straight, everything on the car works like new, all lights work, Last summer i changed oil belts and hoses and tuned it up not knowing the age of this stuff and the the fact he was driving it 4 hours to arkansas. I have heard this my whole life "i would drive this car cross country" but i think this car has proven that. This car hasn't sat and sat and sat, it has been driven sparingly every year and meticulously maintained, i I can also imagine reading this that it sounds like a bunch of b. s. but i can't say enough about this car, and my feedback has always been 100% and i intend to keep it that way. I do body paint and restoration on muscle cars on the side, so i know what i'm looking at, i have had, bought and sold a lot of cars and this is the best one yet, even after a total restoration cars don't feel like this one like it did when new, i also have gotten compliments from craigslist and ebay users about the honesty and accuracy of my adds, i will not misrepresent anything i sell, this is very important to me. This car is not every ones favorite car but if it's yours you will not be disappointed. This is a beautiful car but not one that you would be afraid to drive. If you don't intend on buying this car please don't bid on it.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.

GM trademarks 'Sport Touring' for Buick Regal, LaCrosse

Thu, May 7 2015

Discovering trademarking or patents from automakers always fascinates us since the filings hint at the possible future of motoring. Based on two recent applications, Buick has something possibly brewing for two of its sedans, because the company now has the trademark for Sport Touring on the Regal (pictured above in GS trim) and LaCrosse. According to GM Inside News, both trademarks are dated April 27 and are simply described to the US Patent and Trademark Office as being for "motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." That doesn't narrow things down at all. However, since the moniker is specifically for both sedans, Sport Touring might be a new trim or special edition for them. Buick had no comment when reached by Autoblog. Of course, there are a whole host of automotive trademarks that are claimed that end up with no actual vehicle in showrooms. Unfortunately, we just have to wait to find out if this is another case like the Buick Enclave Tuscan where the filing offers a preview of the future or a situation like the still long-awaited return of the Supra.

NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.
