1971 Buick Gs Stage One Real Deal Numbers Matching Stage One 455 on 2040-cars
Indian Trail, North Carolina, United States
Up for auction is one of the most amazing cars I've ever seen. Unfortunatly I am selling my 1971 Buick GS Stage One. The car has been completely restored from top to bottom. The engine and transmission were rebuilt at the time of the restoration. The numbers matching engine is stamped with the stage one lettering and is the real deal. The paint was done on a rotisserie so the floor pans shine as much as the fenders do. The trunk is fitted with a correct spare and all the tires, brakes, suspension belts and even air conditioning was put back exactly how it was supposed to be and in working order. It does have a correct radio in it but it does not work. The intent was to hide a sound system in the car that was more modern but then I got word we may be moving so I thought I would leave that decision to the new owner. I am selling the car because we are moving up north and I just don't want it to see any salt or bad weather. it runs and drives perfectly, I would trust it as an every day driver, with plenty of power to out run the majority of modern day cars and still put out cold A/C while it does it!! The paint job is the best black paint I have ever seen, I looked everywhere for a flaw but there just isn't one! I have my reserve set well below what I think the car is worth, if it doesn't sell I will take it with me, I will not give the car away just because I'm moving so please don't bombard me with lowball offers. If you are interested, I would be happy to meet you to show the car in the Charlotte area. Please ask any questions before bidding. I've outlined all I can think of with the car but there is so much I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
