I am the second owner of this very nice, recently restored 1969 Buick Sportwagon. I purchased the car from the original owner's widow. It was a Mississippi car it's entire life until I brought it to Texas a couple of year ago. It has been repainted to it's original color within the last year. The original 400 ci engine was removed and will go with the car if you want it. I had a an early 70's Buick 455 rebuilt to high performance standards and had it installed along with a rebuilt GM 200R, 3 speed automatic with overdrive transmission. With this setup, you can drive at highway speed and do only about 2000 rpm so the mileage is better and the car is great to drive at highway speeds. The interior is all original dark green vinyl, with a western motive pattern embossed into the vinyl. It one small tear about 3/8" long in the seat of the first back seat. This car is the 9-passenger with the backward facing rear seat. There are no cracks in the steering wheel, the dash pad or the door panels. The carpet and the door weather stripping could stand to be replaced. All of the glass is in excellent condition. The car has manual windows that all work perfectly. It has the power rear window which works fine. It has a working am radio and a factory installed GM 8 track player. It has factory air conditioning that is all there other than fan belts and should work when fully finished and serviced. It has factory cruise control, but I have never tried to see if it works. It has power seats in the front. It has new dual exhaust, new shocks all around and the redone brakes all around, disc on front, drum on rear. The wagon has the GS hood and Buick Road Wheels and new tires.

Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach
Wed, Sep 30 2015Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
