1966 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT COUPE!

Finished in "Burgundy Mist" metallic over burgundy, this splendid 50 YEAR-OLD classic shows just over 23,000 miles
on its working five-digit odometer. The actual miles is believed to be 123,000 but I cannot 100% verify this to be
true. So with that being said, you are looking at an exceptional Gran sport coupe! This 99.9% clean, dry rust-free
specimen features a great running 425 cubic inch V8 engine mated to the factory automatic transmission, bucket
seats, ALL NEW WORKING A/C with updated 134R refrigerant, original am radio plus glove-box mounted Panasonic
cassette stereo, special ordered roll-up windows, factory 15" alloy wheels and custom California license plate,
This classic Riv just received......within the last 500 miles...$11,000 in mechanical servicing at a renowned Bay
area service facility ready for driving anywhere. Highlights of the recent service include: rebuilt power steering
pump, new starter motor, new battery and cables, new fuel pump, transmission mounts, new ater pump, thermostat,
hoses, clamps and belts, rebuilt carb, new ignition coil and control module, all new gaskets, new timing chain, new
upper and lower ball joints, control arms and bushings. This big beautiful cruiser is being sold with clear and
clean California title and maintenance records.

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in EXCELLENT, VERY NICE DRIVER-QUALITY condition throughout! The paint has a deep
lustrous shine to its finish with nice original contrasting chrome and trim pieces. The paint was refinished many
years ago by the previous owner and still presents well. I would rate the exterior of this car a solid 7.5-8 on a
scale of 1-10. Imperfections include some pitting on the original chrome and trim, light scratches, some rock nicks
and paint nicks and other minor blemishes. While a notch or two away from concourse quality, this is a beautiful
sunny driver that would present well at any classic car show.

THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this car is in excellent condition throughout....very
good seat upholstery, nice headliner, original steering wheel, virtually PERFECT vinyl dash, nice door panels,
working odometer and groovy dial speedometer, cold air conditioning, good heat, nauge works and the auxiillary ice
classic stereo, working lights and blinkers. The factory temp gauge functions, the horn and factory am radio are
inop.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Buick starts perfectly, runs very well with excellent torquey acceleration, smooth shifting automatic
transmission, superb braking with excellent power brake feel, buttery smooth steering and supple suspension and
smooth power steering. Overall this is one beautiful half-century old cruiser that garners attention everywhere
you drive it!

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach

Sun, Aug 16 2015

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
