Clear New Mexico Title in Hand

This car started it's life as a special order for a police department in Arizona.  It was to compete against a Chevy and a Ford to determine a new squad car.  It performed well in trials, but the Wildcat couldn't escape it's poor gas mileage.  It was auctioned off, and a nice lady bought it and drove it for a long time, and eventually parked it under some trees on her land.  Soon after, her next door neighbor rang the door bell and asked if he could buy it.  You see, he had just received news that he had cancer.  His doctor felt it would be good for his immune system if he were to find something that really needed cleaning, and then scrub it clean.  The doctor wanted him to imagine his immune system cleaning the cancer away.  He immediately thought of this old car with sap being dripped on it, and he made his offer.  He went straight to work, and he scrubbed and he scrubbed, and eventually the cancer went away.  Well, I don't know, but I bought the car from him, and I just couldn't shake his story.  He seemed very sincere.  I had spent a little time with him, and he was a normal, genuine man in his late 60's.  I hated the idea of just painting over this car, but it needed something.  I wanted something special for a special car.  I felt that stripping this car down to the bare metal would pay homage to this unique classic, and pay homage to it's previous owners.  Think about it.  This is as original as it gets.  This is as survivor as it gets.  There is nothing hidden, nothing painted over.  So I went to work taking this car down to it's bare metal. I created the exact look I wanted as I went.  It has a nice pattern of swirls that only show in different lights.  It looks incredible.  It looks so much better in person.  I can honestly say that.   It took weeks, but somehow in all that hard work, I felt a sort of spiritual cleaning.  The car seemed to draw me closer to God in some strange way.  It was like God was sanding down the enamels in my life that were hiding problems.  Maybe all that's a bunch of hog wash, but then again, maybe its not.  I don't think this car healed that man, and I know it didn't heal me.  But, it has given me reason to think that there is something very special about it.  Something better.  Something bigger.

I haven't had this much fun driving a car in a very long time.  It looks so good, and it drives so good.  It is a solid car.  It is quicker than most cars on the road, and I LIKE THAT!  This car draws a lot of looks and a lot of attention.  Be ready to show it at the gas station or wherever you take it.  People just are drawn to it.  They like it.  The bare metal wows everybody.  The comment that sticks out the most is, "THAT'S SICK MAN!"  It is sick man.

I'm kinda connected with this car now.  Feel free to ask questions or whatever.  You can even call me. 

(505) 259-1119

I can FaceTime or Skype you and show you the car.  I'd be happy to do a  walk around and start it up and burn YOUR rear tires off if you want.  Whatever, I'm a car guy, and I like to talk about my cars.

This is an old car.  It is not fully restored.  It has quirks, but they're not annoying quirks.  It has a small leak.  It has dents and rust spots.  There's some sand marks on a few windows.  They are very obvious in the pictures.  It starts immediately, always has.  Warms up immediately.  Smokes the back tires.  What more do you want?  This is an underpriced, no reserve auction for a classic car.  There are no warranties or returns.  Ask you questions now.  Talk to your boss now before you bid.

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.

The Chevrolet Bolt is headed to China as a Buick SUV

Thu, Jan 16 2020

When spy photos of what appeared to be Chevrolet Bolt EV with some minor front- and rear-end updates circulated last week, Autoblog surmised that GM was working on some sort of Bolt-based vehicle — potentially a crossover — to be sold in China as a Buick. We may just have corroboration for that theory. On Thursday, Motor1.com spotted a story published earlier this week on the Chinese site Auto Home which claims that GM has applied to sell an all-electric SUV under the Velite 7 nameplate in China.  There's little differentiating the Velite 7's exterior from the Bolt EV's, apart from bumpers, badges, and a little extra ground clearance. Up front, the bowtie is replaced by a round Buick badge, and the bumper picks up an almost Prius-like appearance thanks to contrasting vertical elements and a thin grille bleeding into the head lights to give it a full-width appearance. Chevy Bolt-based prototype View 16 Photos If the Chinese report is accurate, there is one significant difference under the skin. Per the application, the Buick crossover variant is to be powered by a 174-horsepower electric powertrain. That's down 26 horsepower from the Bolt EV's powertrain, and we can't help but think that a lifted Buick variant might just need every pony it can get.  The needs of the Chinese market are unique, and we're certain GM knows what it's doing if these figures are accurate. We have no reason to believe Buick plans to sell the Velite 7 EV here in the States, though we expect an updated Chevy Bolt eventually, and we wouldn't be surprised if Buick brings something along shortly to fill the void left by the departure of the Regal sedan and its variants.  Related Video:
