Old School Style!! For more information, contact Clint @ 610-763-8277 For your consideration is a beautiful 1962 Buick Special Convertible. What makes this super rare vehicle even more collectible that its’ equipped with the factory numbers matching 215 Aluminum V8 (155 H.P) engine and mated to the original Buick Automatic Transmission. I acquired the car from the grandson of the original owner who purchased it new, so it was a one family owned car. It drives and rides straight down the road. Very smooth, handles extremely well for what it is, and easy to drive for a man or woman of any size. Short or tall, it is an enjoyable ride. I am 6’3”, and fit comfortably with the top up or down. Restored and updated in the mid 1990’s with one repaint. The paint shows very well and still retains much depth and shine. All of the stainless and chrome are in good condition, free of pitting or rust. The front and rear bumpers are presentable, but could be sent out for re-chroming to be perfect. I did get a price of $750 for the pair. The Power convertible top works, moves up and down as it should, and shows well. There are two spots on the top where it must have rubbed from storing the vehicle with the top down. It does not leak, but is visible. The interior was replaced in the 1990’s as well, and looks great. No rips, tears, or issues. All of the gauges, interior and exterior lights, blinkers, brake lights are functional. Even the original AM Radio works! The clock on the dash does not work at this time. The Buick appears to retain all of its original sheet metal, floors, trunk pan, etc. It was a southern car its whole life, so it has been preserved well. The undercarriage is clean and straight. Free of rust, bubbles, holes, or issues. The 4 bbl carburetor has just been rebuilt, along with the brakes. The suspension and shocks have been upgraded at some point over the years. Tires have less than 1,000 miles. Last weekend I took the car on a 200 mile trip and I got 20 mpg on the highway! Overall, it is a step up from driver quality condition, but not a 100 point show car. It is turn key, drive home today, ready to enjoy. It needs nothing to take to a local car show and win a trophy. Or take grand kids for ice cream. At this price point, it’s a tremendous opportunity to get into a classic convertible at a price that doesn’t break the bank! I have many more photos that can be viewed on a website. Email for the the link or give me a call for more info 610-763-8277. I encourage & welcome pre purchase inspections. I will work with your inspector, appraiser, mechanic, etc to make you feel comfortable with your purchase. Vehicle is sold AS-IS, NO Warranties Expressed or Implied.

Which typically takes 7 days.I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback! Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, 32118. Minutes from major route 95 on the northeast coast of Florida. 10 minutes from (DAB)-Daytona Beach International Airport. 70 miles to (MCO)-Orlando or (SFB)-Sanford International Airports. Fly in and drive it home!! I will assist with selling worldwide, but payment and arrangements are buyer’s responsibility. I have used several shipping companies in the past, and can recommend shippers to contact, or can be arranged right through ebay and their recommended carriers. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info. I do not send second chance offers! |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.
It's almost unseemly that GM doesn't offer a relaxed four-seat convertible.
2018 Buick Enclave spied looking slim in Death Valley
Thu, Sep 8 2016The nine-year-old Buick Enclave is well past its prime, but this set of spy photos reveals that GM won't put the vehicle out of its misery, but will give the vehicle a large update instead. Our photographers managed to catch Buick testing a heavily-camouflaged 2018 Enclave testing below sea level near Death Valley. Buick was testing the prototype in Nevada earlier this year, but slapped a trailer onto the back of the SUV. Thanks to the camouflage that covers the badging, headlights, taillights, and hood, there's no way to confirm if the prototype is really a Buick or something from Chevrolet. But the circular outline on the grille has us leaning towards it being a Buick. Five LED running lights shine through the heavy camouflage, while Buick's iconic waterfall grille is prominently uncovered. The Enclave, which came out in 2008, shares the same platform as the GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse. With the new Acadia slimming down and ditching the old Lambda platform in favor of the Chi platform, the Enclave will surely follow suit. The Enclave, though, is expected to get a stretched version of the Chi platform with three rows. While the entire body is concealed, the prototype's side profile looks to be slimmer than the current Enclave. With the addition of the new, lighter platform, the Enclave is expected to get GM's new 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission added later down the road. The new Enclave is expected to make its debut early next year as a 2018 model, which will be followed by the reveal of the Traverse shortly after.
