1965 Buick Riviera Base Hardtop 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Hinckley, Ohio, United States
|
Listed for auction is a 1965 Buick Riviera running project.I bought this car with another and it needs a new home.It runs, drives and stops but is not quite ready for the road.The engine is not numbers matching but starts right up and doesn't seem to miss a beat.The previous owner said that it had been rebuilt but probably years ago.I did notice it has a 1964 carb on it and is missing the air cleaner.The car came with a/c but is not working and missing some components.It has BR switch pitch transmission that seems to work just fine but I have only gone up and down the driveway.The rear is a 3.23 open gear.When I brought the car home it had the gas tank in the trunk that had been cleaned out and painted.That has been re-installed and fuel line connected.The fuel gauge works.The previous owner put mechanical gauges in and they work properly.This car was his daily driver for years until about 2 or 3 years ago.Exhaust has mufflers with turn outs and actually sounds nice without being obnoxious.
Brakes work well but the pedal doesn't have the feel of vacuum assist.The funny thing is that you don't have to push that hard to stop? The interior will send you back to the swinging' 70's with it's crushed velvet covers.This is the deluxe interior with power seat,which works and power windows.The seats are worn in spots but comfortable as can be.The headliner is the same material.I checked the power windows and the driver and passenger door windows work but both quarter windows will need lubrication.I could see each trying to work but didn't want to damage motors.The wood is is pretty nice shape. All glass looks very nice, very nice windshield.Tires look pretty good. The car will need some body work.The floors are solid with one hole in the passenger front on top of body brace,can't be seen from underneath.The trunk floor is nice and solid.The hood is better than most and front leading edge looks pretty good.Driver fender solid. Passenger fender has issue down low behind wheel well opening.Door skins good condition.Around back window very good.Nice straight top.The quarter panels are the worst of it,see pictures, but I have a friend that has driver and passenger complete quarter panels if needed for additional price,I can give you his contact information, or just repair.The car has one custom touch that was done by last owner.The trunk has been converted to open to the side.It was not finished and can be converted back the way it was. Most all the trim is with the car.The cathedral moldings have damage.The chrome on the bumpers has some pealing and pitting.The chrome on the wheels is pretty decent with the driver side front being the worst. The clams don't work and the motor and some of the linkage is missing.Headlights do come on but clams will need wired open.The rear brake lights and turn signals will need hooked up.I am sure there will be other wiring issues to wring out. To sum it up this car literally could be road worthy within a few days work.I realize that this is a project and the reserve is very reasonable.Any questions feel free to ask. Transportation is buyers responsibility.The car must be picked up within 14 days end of auction. |

Buick unveils 2020 Encore and Encore GX in Shanghai
Mon, Apr 15 2019As expected, Buick pulled the covers off its refreshed Encore and brand-new Encore GX at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show. It's not surprising that Buick would unveil these crossovers in China considering that's the automaker's largest market, but we expect at least one of these crossovers to come to the States to replace our current Encore, which has been Buick's best-selling model for the last three years. Buick hasn't yet release a whole lot of information about its new Encore twins besides coyly describing the GX as a longer-wheelbase version of the Encore. In reality, we think there's quite a bit of difference between these two Encores. The regular Encore is similarly sized to the current version, which is heavily based on the Opel Mokka, and it's probably based on an updated version of GM's Gamma II platform called GEM, which stands for Global Emerging Markets. 2020 Buick Encore for China View 2 Photos The larger Encore GX is likely sitting atop GM's newer VSS-F platform. We don't know exactly how much bigger the GX is than the regular Encore, but we wouldn't be surprised if it's this larger version that will be sold Stateside. An unknown range of four-cylinder Ecotec engines will be offered in China, paired to either a nine-speed automatic or optional continuously variable transmission. Regardless of what's underneath, these two Encore models share the same sense of style, and it's a look we can get behind. A wide winged grille is bisected by a chrome strip that carries the Buick Tri-Shield emblem front and center. The rest of the sheetmetal is taut and crisp, with concave bodysides and muscular flanks. We'll have to wait and see what tweaks are made to the American Encore, what powertrain it will feature, and when exactly it will go on sale. In the meantime, feel free to check out the gallery up above.
Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach
Wed, Sep 30 2015Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
