Here is a 1968 Buick Electra 225 Custom Convertible being sold at no reserve. The Odometer is currently at 35,406 miles and is increasing as I drive it around town. This car has the 430 cubic inch, 7 liter, 360 horsepower V8. This car runs great down the road, and had a transmission rebuild about 2500 miles ago. Coker Classic white wall bias tires ($185.00 each) adorn the original wheels. The interior is in good shape with some small blemishes here and there. The overall interior is in very good shape. This car will seat 6 comfortably and will be a great cruiser to your local car show, or just a ride to the beach. The mechanism for the convertible top works great and the power top goes up and down with no problems at all. The convertible top needs to be repaired or replaced due to the rear window having come out. The convertible boot is included, but has some imperfections and could be replaced as well. I looked online and the prices range from $199 for just the top to around $500 for the complete kit. The rear window is currently out of the car, but the original glass will be included with the sale. I would recommend a front end alignment for this car. I drove it recently on the freeway, and there is a slight wobble between 45 and 55 miles per hour. The radio is not original to the car. The engine is strong and starts up like it should and runs down the road very nicely. The dual exhaust sounds great and the car gets many comments, smiles and waves. Please see the video to see what it is like to drive this great piece of history. This car is being sold with no reserve, so the highest bid will buy this car! Due to the year, I am selling this 1968 Buick with no warranty. Please let me know if you need any additional pictures and I will do my best to get them out to you. Vehicle to be sold with Bill of Sale, CT does not issue titles for vehicles of this age. Again, this car is being sold at no reserve, so the highest bid will take it home.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
