I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM MY LANDLORD (WHO HAS OFFERED TO BUY IT BACK BUT
AM SEEING WHAT OFFERS I GET BEFORE DOING SO). IT WAS IN A GARAGE FOR 17
YEARS AND NEVER DRIVEN THOSE 17 YEARS UNTIL I BOUGHT IT TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE PUT MAYBE 400 MILES ON IT. I HAD PLANS TO RESTORE IT COMPLETELY AND MAKE IT A
SHOW CAR BUT NOW I HAVE PLANS TO MOVE BACK OUT WEST AND NO PLAN TO TAKE
THIS 6,000 POUND CAR WITH ME.
THIS IS A 1976 BUICK ELECTRA 225 WITH A 455 V8 ORIGINAL ENGINE WITH 74,610 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND BIGGEST CAR GENERAL MOTORS EVER MADE. THE CAR IS 95% RUST FREE. UNDERNEATH PRACTICALLY LOOKS LIKE IT IS ON THE SHOW FLOOR STILL IT IS SO CLEAN. THE ORIGINAL OWNERS HAD IT UNDERCOATED. THERE IS PRACTICALLY NO RUST UNDER THE CAR. MAYBE SLIGHT SURFACE RUST ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND OTHER RANDOM AREAS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE SURFACE RUST ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR (PICTURE INCLUDED) WHICH IS JUST IN FRONT OF THE HOOD. THE CAR DOES NEED A PAINT JOB, THE PAINT IS FADED FROM AGE (IF YOU PLAN TO RESTORE IT) THE ORIGINAL SOFT TOP ON THE CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, IT IS NOT DRY ROTTED OR TORN ANYWHERE. THE STRING STITCHING IS FRAYED DOWN THE CENTER. THERE IS ONLY ONE VERY TINY DING ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. YOU HAVE TO LOOK VERY HARD TO NOTICE IT. I HAVE LOOKED IT OVER MANY TIMES. (I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT PAINTED) THERE IS A PICTURES OF THIS DING IN THIS LISTING AND IT HAS A GREEN CIRCLE AROUND IT. THE TRUNK IS CLEAN AND HAS THE SPARE TIRE AND JACK THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL AND WORKS INTERIOR IS IN AMAZING CONDITION PUMP THE PEDAL A COUPLE TIMES, THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP, NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS A VERY NICE CAR AND I KNOW I WILL REGRET SELLING IT BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND I HAVE OTHER DESIRES IN LIFE RIGHT NOW. IT WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY SINCE IT HAS SAT AND DIED SO MANY TIMES. IT WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED TO START IT. CLEAN TITLE I HAVE PUT NEW REAR BRAKES ON IT, A BRAND NEW RADIATOR IN IT IN THIS PAST JULY, I ALSO PUT 4 BRAND NEW WHITE WALL TIRES ON IT IN SUMMER 2013. THE ONES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT WERE 17 YEARS OLD AND LOOKED BRAND NEW STILL BUT WERE DRY ROTTED FROM AGE SO I REPLACED THEM. THE THINGS WRONG OR THAT DO NOT WORK THAT I AM AWARE OF ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN. COULD POSSIBLY NEED NEW WINDOW MOTORS AND OR SWITCHES. BACK WINDOWS ROLL DOWN JUST FINE. THEY ARE ELECTRIC POWERED WINDOWS. THERE IS A LIGHT RATTLING SOUND BUT IT IS A VALVE THAT CONTROLS HEAT FLOW AND DOES NOT EFFECT THE OPERATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR IN ANY WAY. IT USUALLY GOES AWAY AFTER THE CAR RUNS A LITTLE BIT. THE ENGINE COULD USE SOME CLEANING UP AND MOST LIKELY A TUNING UP. MICE CHEWED THE COATING ON A COUPLE WIRES, NOTHING MAJOR THOUGH. WATER SLOWLY LEAKS INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE METAL TRIM OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SEAL IT WITH SOMETHING. A METAL BRACKET IS RUSTED UP UNDER THE DASH (CAN SEE IT WITH FLASHLIGHT) FROM WATER LEAKING IN. I HAVE KEPT THIS CAR COVERED AS WELL AS UNDER A ROOF SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I RECOMMEND CHANGING ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR. THERE IS NEW GAS IN THE TANK, NO OLD GAS IN IT. THE BUMPER FILLER FOR AROUND THE TAIL LIGHTS DRY ROTTED OVER THE YEARS. YOU CAN ORDER NEW FIBERGLASS ONES FROM A COMPANY IN FLORIDA. I HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE BUSINESS. THE ONLY THING CLOSE TO MAJOR WRONG WITH THE INTERIOR IS A SMALL TEAR / CUT IN THE "LEATHER" PANELING ON THE DRIVER DOOR ABOUT 3 INCHES IN LENGTH. THE INTERIOR IS IN AMAZING CONDITION FOR ITS AGE AS WELL. AIR CONDITIONING WILL NEED RECHARGED AND/OR FIXED CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, COULD JUST BE A FUSE, I DON'T KNOW. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CLOCK WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE DASH MAY BE A PIECE OF SMALL TRIM MISSING AROUND THE WHEEL WELL IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. THE CHROME BUMPER, GRILL, IS ALL IN GREAT CONDITION. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE CAR DOES NOT LEAK ANY FLUIDS. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING OUT OF STATE LONG HOURS AND IF YOU PURCHASE THE CAR WE WILL HAVE TO ARRANGE A TIME ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE IN ORDER FOR US TO MEET AND TAKE CARE OF THE TITLE WORK. I WILL NOT LET THE CAR LEAVE ME UNLESS THE TITLE NOTARIZING IS COMPLETED IN FRONT OF ME AND PAID IN FULL. YOU MUST REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER TITLE IS SIGNED AND NOTARIZED UNLESS WE COME TO ANOTHER AGREEMENT. ONLY REPLY TO THIS POSTING IF YOU ARE 100% SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING THE CAR. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AND I WILL ANSWER THEM. ASK ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND I WILL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS!!! I TRUST THE CAR TO DRIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY PUT MAYBE 400 MILES ON IT SO I CAN NOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR. I HAVE NOT SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH IT. BEFORE DRIVING IT ANY LONG DISTANCE I WOULD HAVE ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AND A GOOD TUNE UP AND GO OVER IT GOOD. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED TRAVELING FOR WORK AND HAVE NOT BEEN HOME BUT MAYBE A TOTAL OF 10 DAYS THIS YEAR. I AM SELLING THIS CAR AS IF IT DOES NOT RUN AND/OR PARTS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY, I HAVE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT THE CAR. I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT BUY A CAR, SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND THEY ACCUSE THE SELLER OF NOT TELLING THEM SOMETHING. ONCE THE CAR IS GONE, IT IS YOURS AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I DO BELIEVE THERE WERE NEW SHOCKS PUT ON THIS CAR BEFORE IT WAS GARAGED FOR 17 YEARS. THIS CAR IS THE SMOOTHEST RIDE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. I COULD DRIVE IT ACROSS THE WIDEST PART OF THE GRAND CANYON AND NOT FEEL THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. AS SOON AS I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND PARKED IT AT MY HOUSE I HAD PEOPLE KNOCKING ON MY DOOR WANTING TO BUY IT. I TURNED THEM ALL DOWN BECAUSE I HAD SERIOUS INTENTIONS OF RESTORING IT AND SHOWING IT. I HAD TO PUT A SIGN ON MY DOOR SAYING THAT THE BUICK WAS NOT FOR SALE. NOW OF COURSE I WISH I HAD SOLD IT! AGAIN, THIS IS A NICE CAR, NEEDS A SHINE JOB, AND ENGINE CLEAN AND THE FLUIDS CHANGED. SOLID SOLID SOLID CAR. DOORS OPEN AND SHUT SMOOTHER THAN ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I SUGGEST NEW RUBBER SEALS FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOWS AS WELL SEEING AS THEY ARE OLD AND DRY. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN MANSFIELD, OHIO. ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND I HAVE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW. ONCE YOU BUY IT AND THE TITLE IS SIGNED, IT IS YOURS. ONCE AGAIN, ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PLEASE. THE VIN NUMBER IS - 4V39Y6H416341 THANK YOU FOR LOOKING! |

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore
Thu, Mar 12 2015General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
