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.

Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary

Thu, 06 Dec 2012

As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.

Buick and Bar Refaeli teach in-car yoga

Mon, Jul 27 2015

We're not sure which make or model you'd most readily associate with yoga. You'd probably see a fair few Mercedes convertibles, VW Beetles, and assorted minivans and crossovers outside your typical American yoga studio. But not to be left out of the contorting action, Buick is out to link itself to the age-old practice with these latest videos. They feature, as you can see, the ever lithe and supple Bar Rafaeli, clad in spandex, stretching and contorting herself inside and out of a Buick Verano. Which is really all you should need to know, but there's a little more to the clip above (and the behind-the-scenes video below) than eye candy. Choreographed by yoga guru Chad Dennis, the idea behind the video – cleverly entitled The Body Shop – is to show drivers, in as artful and visually pleasing a way as possible, how to limber up their body, mind, and soul in preparation for (or recovery from) a long drive. It also serves to promote the brand's new 24 Hours of Happiness test drive program that lets prospective buyers take a Buick home and try it out for a day before buying. And if nothing else, it aptly demonstrates that Buick has excellent taste – or at least as good as Sports Illustrated that gave the Israeli model her first big break, Leonardo DiCaprio whom she dates for several years, and the dozens of fashion labels, jewelry brands, and magazines for which she's posed in recent years.
