1970 Buick Riviera Gran Sport, this car is equipped with a very powerful 455 cubic inch engine which has more torque than the hemis that were used by Dodge in 1970, this car
is a true Gran Sport, less than 3600 Gran Sports were built in 1970 and this body style was made only one year so that makes this car fairly rare, it is in good running condition,
the engine is strong and fast, the transmission shifts great, it does have some play in the steering, the steering box needs to be replaced (I have a replacement, it just needs to
be installed), it has dual exhausts which sound great
the body is in pretty good shape, there is no exterior rust or dents, the frame and floor pans are solid, there is some surface rust in the trunk, but no rust holes, as
you can see in the pictures, the headlight bezel is not attached, I do have a headlight bezel for the car (see picture), I am just waiting for the screws and clips to
be shipped, they should be here in a matter of days, also the reason that the driver's side skirt is not attached is because it needs a post installed on the inner
quarter so that it will fit securely, it can be attached now and will stay on but, I didn't want to take any chances so I took it off, both bumpers are in good shape,
the back bumper has a small amount of corrosion (see picture)
the interior is in good original condition, the driver's seat has separated along some of the seams, the passenger and rear seats are in good shape, the dash does not
have any cracks in it, but some of the material around the gauges has came unglued (see picture), the carpet is in pretty good original condition, both door panels
are in good shape, a trim piece that goes around the driver's side inner door handle is missing (see picture), the headliner is in pretty good shape with NO rips or
tears
I have owned this car for almost three years, it has been garaged since I have had it and driven only periodically on dry spring or summer days, I believe that it
was a southern car based on the condition of the body, during the fall and winter months when I go out to start it, it always starts up very easily, even on the coldest
days, the car does have air conditioning, but it does not blow cold

Buick Envision arrives in US next year
Fri, Jul 24 2015In a detailed piece on what General Motors has planned for the Buick brand stateside, Automotive News reports that the Envision will finally come to the US a little more than a year from now, in the latter half of 2016. The size gap between the small Encore and the large Enclave is a perfect fit for the Chevrolet Equinox-sized Envision. Assuming this actually happens, it should excite both customers and Buick dealers. In China, the Envision uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed transmission. Before then, dealers sales forces will be preparing for the Cascada convertible, expected in Q1 next year. Later in 2016, around the same time as the Envision gets here, we can expect a redesigned Verano sedan. AN says it "should grow in length and interior roominess, similar to the Chevy Cruze," but the Verano already roughly matches or exceeds many Cruze dimensions. The Chinese-market Verano that premiered at the Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year probably holds some clues to what we'll see, but our version might not be an exact copy. A redesigned, lighter, and slightly larger LaCrosse will be right there with it. In 2017 the redesigned Regal appears. Following the trend, it also gets larger, but that's required because it needs to be more distinct from that larger Verano. AN suggests a new base engine will go in the Regal, perhaps something as small as the 1.5-liter turbo being lined up for the 2016 Chevy Malibu. At the other end, executives are said to be considering importing the diesel Opel Insignia wagon for the Regal lineup. If they bring the manual over, auto scribes will probably take the day off when the first one arrives, and make it an industry holiday.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach
Sun, Aug 16 2015The 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.
