1959 Buick Invicta Two Door Hardtop. This is a very original, 79000 mile, Buick. It has the original 445 Wildcat engine with a stated horsepower rating at 325, as well as the complete original drive train. It drives perfectly and is very powerful. The paint is original (please look closely at the original paint in the photos), it is in very good to excellent condition. The color combination is "Arctic White" over "Lido Lavender."Again, please look closely at all of the photos. This is excellent running, original car and should be in a museum or antique car collection. All the glass is good, it runs perfectly, and can be driven anywhere. If you wanted, you could fly into Salt Lake City, and drive home in this original Buick Invicta. I have the original title in hand, as well as the original owner's manual, and service records. The original Firestone spare is still in the trunk. The original carpets are in good shape and it has a perfect headliner. It has new brakes, a new battery, and a recent tuneup. The body is very straight. The doors, hood, and trunk lid open and close like a new car. The trunk rubber seal and the door seals are in very good condition. The wide white wall tires have excellent tread. The window cranks roll up and down smoothly, and it is difficult to imagine that this Buick Invicta is over 50 years old. If you have any questions about the Buick, please feel comfortable messaging me or calling. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I would be glad to talk with you about the Buick.

I highly value my 100% positive feedback rating on Ebay and I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the very few minor issues I have found with the car. 1. The seat covers look original to the car and are in good condition, but I think the original seat covers might be underneath. 2. There is minor surface rust, about the size of a quarter, by the rear license plate, as well as two very small bubbles on the passenger's side front fender. There are minor dings a scratches in the chrome. They are difficult to see and hard to photograph. The car is in very good condition, but it is original and has not been restored and after fifty years, it has some minor scratches in the trim. If you have any concerns about the condition, please call me. This is easily a # 3 car and, in my opinion, a good # 2. They are only original once!

I will gladly assist the new owner in shipping the car anywhere in the world. The shipping cost is at the owner's expense, but I can store the car for a reasonable time, and I will assist the truck driver in getting the car loaded and shipped. I hope this really nice, original, Buick Invicta finds a good home.

In a recent check of the rear quarters of the car, I found another minor rust issue that I want to be sure the new owner is aware of. On the rear fender, behind the rear wheel, underneath the car, there is some bubbling in an old minor repair. The rear fenders fold underneath the car and this is were the small bubbles can be observed. It is not noticeable without crawling under the car. As I mentioned, I highly value my 100% positive feedback on Ebay. This newly discovered problem is nothing serious, but I don't want the new owner to get the car home and later discover problem areas I didn't list. It is a minor issue, and I will send photos if needed. The floors are in excellent shape from the trunk to the front of the car. There is still original undercoating on the floors and they are absolutely dry and rust free. There is original paint still on the frame rails.

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.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022

Fri, Mar 18 2022

The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.
