Here is a list of much of the work performed on this car:
The 300 cubic inch V8 motor has been completely rebuilt. New pistons, valves, hydraulic rockers etc. All built to original factory specifications The factory aluminum intake and aluminum heads have been painted as they would have been from the factory. New Holley 2 barrel carburetor. Works better than the original but the original carburetor will come with the car. Transmission has been upgraded from the original 2 speed automatic transmission to a freshley rebuilt 3 speed turbo 350. The differential has been checked out, was fine, and the fluid was changed. Custom dual exhaust was built for the car. It runs up and over the rear axel so it looks like a factory original exhaust. New full length floor pans and trunk floor sheet metal was installed. All rust repair was done by cutting out the cancer and welding in new metal. No half-assed bondo or fiberglass was used to cover up anything! All suspension parts that normally wear out were replaced with new parts and all of the suspension parts were painted with POR-15 to stop any future rust! (if you don't know what POR-15 is, you need to look into it....it's a fantastic product that eliminates rust problems!) All new interior. Carpet, seat covers, door panels, dash etc. Almost every piece of chrome was rechromed and every stainless moulding was professionally polished. New black vinyl top, plus the top frame was disassembled and restored! (Just the top assembly took nearly a week to restore!) It's a manual not a power top. It is very easy to put up and take down. Car has been lowered several inches. It could stand to be lowered a few more to be honest. New windshield, all other glass is original and in excellent condition. All new brakes. 2 new drums. This includes new hoses and even a new master cylinder. It stops great for 4 wheel drum brakes! It does not have power brakes. Oil pressure, water temp & amp guages have been added. Factory AM radio still in the dash. An aftermarket stereo that tilts away out of site has been added. Custom made front kick panels have built in stereo speakers! New Boyd Coddington aluminum rims and tires It starts easily, stops straight and fast, runs nice and seems to drive down the road straight! Simply put, it runs like a new car! Listed for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the asking price is met. |

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

2021 Buick Envision First Drive | A successful sequel
Wed, Feb 24 2021The 2021 Buick Envision inaugurates the second generation of what GM's premium division hopes will become the staple of its all-crossover lineup. The original Envision, while reasonably competent, suffered from ungainly styling and struggled to separate itself from its reputation as the built-in-China Buick. Bundle that with a brand that has (at best) an on-again, off-again relationship with being interesting and you have a recipe for “Who cares?” No longer, says Buick. While itÂ’s still assembled in China, the 2021 Envision gets a new platform, a new powertrain, and a complete styling overhaul. Feeling a little deja vu? ThatÂ’s reasonable. Buick gave us a promising first look at the new Envision last summer, but thanks to, well, you know, 2020, weÂ’re only now getting our hands on the final product, and if we were intrigued in June, weÂ’re impressed in February. BuickÂ’s first attempt at a compact CUV was not particularly impressive, especially when it came to design. The Equinox-in-a-dinner-jacket thing never really worked and weÂ’re happy to say that the second effort is a huge improvement. The new look is genuinely attractive. Like the Enclave, the Envision borrows cues from the Avenir concept whose name BuickÂ’s product planners appropriated to denote the brandÂ’s top-trim variants. It works. Power comes from a 2.0-liter, turbocharged inline-four producing 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque as its only available engine. Front-wheel drive is standard; a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system is optional. Both setups utilize a nine-speed automatic transmission. Your author managed an average of 23 mpg over the course of a 60-mile test loop against EPA estimates of 22 mpg city, 29 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined. FWD models are rated at 24/31/26, respectively. Size-wise, the Envision is a bit of an odd duck. One could teach an undergrad course on GMÂ’s two-row crossover ecosystem, but suffice it to say that itÂ’s a bit more closely related to the Chevrolet Blazer than it is to the Equinox this time around, despite being closer in size to the latter. Within the luxury realm, its length and wheelbase are a few inches shorter than those of larger compact models like the Volvo XC60, Acura RDX and BMW X3, but its rear legroom is greater than them all. It's actually closer in that measurement to the midsize Lincoln Nautilus.
