1963 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Piedmont, Oklahoma, United States
|
Up for grabs is this 1963 Riviera. I have been storing it for a friend for two years and hes ready to sell it. Hes owned it for more than ten years and has only driven it a handful of times. I put a battery in it, a shot of gas, and it fired right up. I'm not certain what size the engine is but he told me its a 401. It says Wildcat 445 on the air cleaner though. The engine is very solid and smoked for awhile until it warmed up. Small exhaust leak under hood. Really needs the full meal deal tune-up and I think it would run really well. The AC does not come on but the compressor is not locked-up. The more Ive driven it, the better it runs. Transmission shifts very well and the brakes stop nicely with no drama. The tires need replaced as they are very old, like bias ply or first gen radials. The interior is decent but needs carpet and woodgrain replaced. Seats need cleaning and steering wheel is intact but faded. Door panels are decent and so is the headliner except for some small spots by the back windshield. Needs front and rear dash. Power windows work but are slow. The rear windows do not roll down. Needs to be repainted but there is no rust through except for small spot by the rear windshield trim (pictured). Small dent on quarter also pictured. If you wanted to spend the time, the paint is good enough to polish and do spot repair. All trim is there minus a couple of trunk letters. In summary, this car, with tires and tune-up, would be a great driver. Thanx for looking and feel free to ask any questions. |

2018 Buick Regal GS is the best Regal since the GNX
Wed, Jul 19 2017The 2018 Buick Regal GS, the third and final variant of the all-new Buick Regal, was revealed this morning. At the event, we were given a brief chance to drive the Regal Sportback, the Regal TourX, and the Regal GS at GM's proving grounds in Milford, MI. Buick has been working hard to shed its image as the brand that comes with an AARP membership card in the glovebox, and this handsome trio is definitely on the right path. With a solid list of features at competitive prices, it's now going to be up to Buick's marketing division to get customers into showrooms. We should say right off the bat that while the old G-Body Grand National and GNX were hardcore giant slayers, the new Regal GS isn't intended to be so sharp edged. Those '80s machines were focused on 0-60 times, and looking as sinister as possible. The new Regal is far more civilized that its forebear. They may share a name, but the purpose has changed. The standard Regal Sportback starts at $25,915 - that's $2,470 less than the outgoing model. It might be the most attractive Buick in decades, at least on the outside. The interior is typical GM, meaning lots of colors and textures without a defining theme. It's powered solely by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four making 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a nine-speed automatic. From behind the wheel, the Regal Sportback is quiet, comfortable, and generally relaxed. The 2.0-liter turbo makes a decent amount of power, but the steering and handling remind you that this isn't a sport sedan. That's not a fault, simply a conscious design choice. Despite what some enthusiasts would lead you to believe, not everything needs to be set up for the N urburgring. The Regal Sportback soaks up bumps fairly well, though the car felt light going over some larger bumps on GM's handling course. The steering is completely dead, but it doesn't feel loose or sloppy. There's simply no feedback from the tires. On the other hand, the brakes were surprisingly good. The pedal was firm and confidence-inspiring. Stopping quickly from 60 mph provided no drama. View 12 Photos The $29,995 Regal TourX is a high-riding wagon in the vein of the Subaru Outback, Audi A4 Allroad, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Like those three, the Regal TourX comes standard with some beefy plastic cladding and all-wheel drive, giving some pretense of off-road capability.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
