1972 Buick Gs 455 Stage 1 on 2040-cars
New Port Richey, Florida, United States
1972 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1 I will start off by saying this car has a Stage 1 motor from a 1970 GS and was originally a Skylark with a 350 that was built in Flint, Michigan. The odometer says 28603. The title is exempt here in the state of FL. This Buick has been great in the time we have owned it. It has always been easy to start and started every time without any issues. The AC is cold and the fan blows strong. The power steering is smooth and easy. The Brakes are also nice and have a good strong feel. The Transmission has a slightly higher than stock converter in it that puts all the power to the ground and goes through all gears strong. The power windows work well. The Radio is not anything special but gets great reception and sounds good. The Headliner is in good shape and has no tears or sags anywhere. The shoulder belts are tied up to the headliner and work as they should with the lap belt. The power seats also work well in both directions. The seats are all in great shape and are very comfortable. The Paint is about a year old, and shows well. I would say it is driver quality. There are a few gauges in the car. There is an Sunpro tach on the steering column, and 2 Autometer gauges mounted nicely under the dash. One gauge is an Oil pressure gauge and the other is a Water Temp gauge. Both read accurately. There are 2 electric fans mounted on the larger aluminum radiator that are controlled by a switch under the dash just to the left of the 2 gauges. This car was set up by the previous owner to be a good street/drag car. The tires in the rear are Mickey Thompson drag radials. The wheels have been painted. Some of the black paint is cracking and you can see they were painted blue before. The trunk is clean and free of any rust issues. the Battery is mounted in the trunk as well. The bumpers are both straight and look good, they dont look like they have been chromed before, looks good for being original, but not perfect. The car is a great driver and everything works as it should. It has been great to us, and done everything well. I encourage and welcome anyone interested to come see and drive the car before they bid. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. Please do not bid unless your funds are ready and your prepared to win.. I plan to sell this car, as we have too many cars and not enough space. Thank you! |

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Malaise Era Junkyard Gem: 1979 Buick Electra Limited
Wed, Jun 22 2016In the fall of 1973, the Arab members of OPEC shut off the oil taps, and Detroit got busy making many of their full-sized land yachts a lot smaller. By model year 1977, the downsized fifth-generation Buick Electra was ready to go ... just in time for the 1979 Iranian Revolution to squeeze the supply of the black stuff even further. You won't see many of the 1977-85 Electras these days, but I spotted this faded but solid '79 Limited sedan in a Denver self-service yard last week. General Motors must have bought up the entire world's supply of blue velour around this time, because you'll see this stuff in just about every car they made for the following decade or so. By this time, GM was doing a lot of mixing-and-matching with engines from its various divisions, which meant you could buy an Oldsmobile 88 with a Chevrolet 350 V8 engine, a Chevrolet Monza with a Buick 231 V6 engine, or— as in this case— a Buick Electra with an Oldsmobile 350 V8 engine. Do you want to know how many horses this engine delivered to this 3,631-pound car? 155 horsepower out of 5.7 liters of engine displacement. Times were tough during the Malaise Era.

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
