FOR SALE: BEAUTIFUL 1965 BUICK RIVIERA WITH CORRECT DUAL QUADS.

2 OWNER CAR. I PURCHASED IT IN 1997 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS WIFE WITH 24k MILES.

BODY: REPAINTED IN 2004. THE CAR WAS STRIPPED TO BARE METAL. ALL PANELS & GLASS WERE REMOVED. VERY MINOR BODY WORK WAS NEEDED (DINGS & MINOR SURFACE RUST). PPG BASE COAT CLEAR COAT WAS USED. WET SANDED & BUFFED. THE BODY IS LASER STRAIGHT! THE PAINT STILL LOOKS AMAZING!

INTERIOR: THE INTERIOR SHOWS WELL. BUT IS AGED. SEATS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. CARPET IS FADED & WORN. COULD USE REPLACING. HEADLINER WAS REPLACE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL STYLE. WOODGRAIN INSERTS ARE SHOWING AGE. ALL IN ALL THE INTERIOR IS CLEAN & VERY PRESENTABLE BUT SHOWING AGE.

ENGINE & TRANS: ENGINE RUNS VERY STRONG! NO KNOCKING, TICKING OR SMOKING. IT DOES NOT BURN ANY OIL. BUT HAS DEVELOPED A MINOR OIL PAN SEEPAGE. IT'S NOT BAD. BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD MENTION IT. I ADDED THE DUAL QUAD SET UP IN 2008. I WAS PLANNING ON CLONING IT AS A GRAN SPORT. BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION/DISTRIBUTOR WAS ALSO ADDED AT THAT TIME. TRANS WAS REBUILT WITH A SHIFT KIT IN 2009. IT CHIRPS THE TIRES NICELY INTO 2ND GEAR WITH LITTLE EFFORT. IT DRIVES & BRAKES NICELY.

THE FLOORS & FRAME ARE VERY SOLID. THERE IS SOME MINOR SURFACE RUST THAT CAN EASILY BE CLEANED & SPRAYED OVER. NEW SHOCKS & COIL SPRINGS ON THE REAR.

ALL MOLDINGS & CHROME ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. NOT SHOW QUALITY. BUT VERY NICE DRIVER QUALITY.

ISSUES:
HEADLAMP MOTOR IS WEAK. WILL NEED A REBUILD ($250).
GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. NEEDS SENDING UNIT($65).
A/C & HEATER BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING LAST SPRING.
A/C LAST WORKED IN 2010. IT HAS NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO R-134.
POWER SEAT IS SLUGGISH.
RIGHT REAR WINDOW IS VERY SLOW.
SCRATCH ON RIGHT FENDER (SEEN IN PICS).
CHIP TOUCHED UP ON DECK LID (SEEN IN PIC).
I MAY BE NIT PICKING WITH THIS STUFF. BUT I DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES FOR THE BUYER.

THESE CARS ARE STEADILY INCREASING IN VALUE. NADA GUIDES VALUE FOR THIS ONE RANGES BETWEEN $20,360 & $42,910. SO I BELIEVE IT'S PRICED QUITE FAIRLY. I'VE SEEN OTHERS NOT AS NICE SELL FOR MORE. PLUS MINE HAS THE VERY DESIRABLE DUAL QUADS. 

THIS IS A GREAT CAR THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO SELL. BUT AT 45 I DECIDED TO GET MARRIED AGAIN. WE'VE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE, I HAVE TOO MANY CARS, NOT ENOUGH SPACE & I NEED THE CASH.

MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE TO SERIOUS BUYERS.
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS & HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER. ALL REASONABLE/SERIOUS OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED.
THE CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. SO I MAY END THE LISTING EARLY.

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY LISTING.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

GM follows up Lambda CUV stop-sale with tire recall

Mon, Feb 9 2015

In late January, General Motors announced a stop-sale for about 6,281 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave because of the possibility for the treads cracking on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. At the time, GM said that this would also eventually lead to a safety campaign to repair the problem, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just published those details. GM's recall covers 5,876 of the three Lambda platform crossovers to replace their tires. According to NHTSA, if the treads crack, there could be a loss of pressure and possible failure. Goodyear already announced its own recall of the tires after internal testing found small tread cracks. The company did not believe this was safety issue, but the problem did put the rubber out of compliance with federal laws. The business's safety campaign covered an estimated 48,512 tires. Of those, around 32,000 were reportedly made for GM to either be fitted to vehicles or sold as replacements. The remainder went to the aftermarket. Goodyear's portion of the recall is expected to begin around February 20. RECALL Subject : Tire Tread Cracking/FMVSS 110 Report Receipt Date: JAN 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V044000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,876 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2015 GMC ACADIA 2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 14, 2015, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 20, 2015, and 2015 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 16, 2015, and all equipped with Goodyear P255/65R18 Fortera HL tires. These vehicles are equipped with tires that may experience tread cracking. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less." CONSEQUENCE: If the tire treads crack, a loss of tire pressure and possible tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires that were manufactured within a specific date range, free of charge.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.
