<br />
<p align="left">This 1969 Buick California GS was born on Sept. 9, 1968 in
Fremont CA. It was then sent up to San Francisco to Waters Buick were it found
itself it's first owner. The car stayed in the hands of that owner until the
90's were it was found in a back yard, having been left to the elements by the
original owner. The second owner saw the potential of what the car was and
proceeded to restore it close to original as he could afford. The car had no
rust but it did have a couple of dents, the worst was the passenger quarter
right behind the door and they were addressed without having to replace any
panels. The original engine and transmission were rebuilt and the rest of the
car brought up to driver quality. The current owner lives in Australia, he has
had me working on it for the last year and he wanted the car to be restored to a
higher level but has switched his interests. This is an early car with all the
documentation, cars like this don't come up often so take the opportunity to own
this special car.<p align="left">The engine is the original
350, it was rebuilt around 1997 and has about 30K miles since gone through.
It was pulled out, new timing chain, oil pump and water pump installed and
all new gaskets. It is currently running synthetic oil. The engine was
detailed with all the correct paint and decals. The carburetor was rebuilt,
new fuel pump and new foam installed on the ram air openings. It has new points/cap/rotor/wires, the
distributor was cleaned, new advance unit installed and counterweights lubed. The
radiator was replaced and a recovery tank was added, the original radiator
is included with the car. The transmission had
the fluid and filter changed, it was also resealed while the engine was out. The
differential had new axle seals and pinion seal. All of the belts/hoses are
new and the heater core was replaced. The brakes are all brand new, all
hardware, shoes, drums, hoses, master cylinder and front wheel bearings
(Timken) have been replaced. The exhaust system is a brand new dual setup
with mild sounding turbo mufflers, basically the way it could've sounded new
(dual exhaust wasn't an option). The gas tank was taken out to put in a new
sender, it was cleaned and refinished along with replacing all fuel and vent
hoses and it has a new cap. The front suspension is all brand new with Moog
parts, all the ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm and
bushings. It has a brand new set of Cooper Cobra tires in a 205/70R 14 which
is equivalent to the original optional tire size and the rally wheels were
cleaned and refinished. It has a new set of KYB Excel-G shocks all around,
nice riding for these older muscle cars. I installed a set of 2" coil spring
spacers in the rear to give it a little bit of a raked look but they can be
removed and it sits perfectly level if you prefer.<p align="left">
The interior looks good, it was done to be a driver so it doesn't have original
style upholstery on the seats. The carpet and dash pad were replaced when it was
restored originally. The rear package tray was replaced because it had holes cut
for an aftermarket stereo so it was returned to original with insulation pad.
The headliner has a couple of bad spots and a new one is included, I just didn't
have time to install it for him. The door panels are in good shape and all the
windows work as they should. The doors had the glass run seals replaced.<p align="left">
The exterior of the car has all the original sheet metal, there was a couple of
dents worked out and the bigger one was right behind the passenger door but it
was able to be straightened. It took me a while but was able to find the wheel
opening molding the previous owner was never able to find. There is and was no
rust except for some surface rust on the floor in the trunk that cleaned up
well. There were no holes and it was cleaned, treated with POR 15 and sprayed
with the correct trunk finish. The original jack and tools were restored and it
retained the original jack sleeve as well. I found an original rim and installed
a good used tire for the spare. I replaced the trunk seal and got a jack
instruction decal for the lid. The paint is about 15 years old now, it was
painted a later GM color close to the original because he thought the original
was too dull. There are a few chips in the paint but it's definitely looks good.
it was an above average job but not high end. The bumpers were redone at the
time of paint and shine well but there are a couple of blemishes from polishing
over the years. The stainless trim is good all around and it does have typical
spots in the pot metal. The headlight buckets were repainted on the inside
areas, all the headlight adjusters were replaced, Halogen bulbs added for the
outers and headlights aimed. The grill chrome is a little worn so it could be
redone and the drip rail molding was not straightened very well when the did the
top but it's not to hard to do that. The glass is all original, the rear glass
was resealed when the did the top, the windshield has a few tiny pits in it and
a mark from a wiper blade but it could be polished out. The rest of the glass is
good.<p align="left">
The car is really clean underneath and chassis is immaculate, I started to
repaint the frame starting up front when that work was done so it wouldn't take
much to finish it. The original exhaust was still on the car when the new
exhaust was done, that alone will tell you how clean the car is underneath. All
the lights work, the horn, heater fan, wipers and even the key buzzer but the
radio doesn't.<p align="left">It is a pretty nice car but like most it has
little things you could do to make it nicer, most of us are never done but
rather just finished for now. If you want an excellent driver, I think this
foots the bill. I've tried to describe it as accurately as possible and I
get a little wordy but want to cover everything. If you have questions let
me know. I have a ton of pictures of all different steps of the work done I
will include with the car as well as some pics the previous owner had in the
file showing the original engine being pulled for rebuild.<p align="left">There is
a Buy-It-Now as you
can see, you can make an offer if you want but there is more money tied up in it
than the buy it now so don't be looking for a steal and Ram Air Buicks have
started to climb in the last year or two. There would be interest in a
partial trade (min. $10K cash + your car) but it would have to be a car in
CA or AZ, I don't like rust. I welcome inspections, the car is
here and can be viewed by appointment. The winning bidder will receive a California
title, clear of any liens with the car. I can assist with arranging shipping to your
location or make recommendations for shipping, of course it can be picked up in person
after we have received funds. This car is located at my shop in Fresno, CA.</P>

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Buick Regal GSE

Sun, Jul 19 2020

Except for a break from 2005 through 2010, and an indefinite break after this year, The General has been selling the Buick Regal since the 1973 model year. From 1988 to 2005, the Regal rode on the same GM W-Body front-wheel-drive platform as the Chevy Impala and Pontiac Grand Prix, and some of the more interesting W Regals came with ever-hairier versions of GM's supercharged Buick V6 engine. These Eaton-blown Regals were big, comfortable and quick, but they've nearly disappeared from roads by now. I found this 2000 GSE, the kingliest Regal of that year, in a Colorado self-service yard last month. Some junkyard shopper had already grabbed the Eaton M90 blower from this car by the time I got here, because everyone wants a blower or nine stashed in the garage (I have five at the moment). If you're looking to junkyard-supercharge your AMC Pacer wagon race car and use a Soviet truck carburetor for fuel delivery, the Eaton M90 is about the easiest to remove from the junkyard and the easiest to rig up on the car. This engine made 240 horsepower when new, giving the Regal GSE quarter-mile times below the 15-second mark. The price of the 2000 Regal GSE started at $25,300, or about $38,640 in 2020 dollars. You could get the same engine engine and chassis with the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP sedan for $24,610, giving you near-identical performance and a sportier (but less dignified) look. Buick didn't bother making a manual transmission available in any North American W-Body Regal after the 1993 model year. This reduced the fun level in these cars, but probably spared owners a lot of broken axles, CV joints, and hubs. This car has the optional Monsoon speaker system, also found in some Volkswagens of the same era. Apparently Monsoon systems for home computers were all the rage during the early 2000s. Did the Oshawa plant lift that "One grade only and that the best" slogan from the Canadian Corps in Passchendaele in '17? It sounds like a Commonwealth slogan of an earlier era. This car looks pretty good inside and out, but most Colorado buyers seeking a powerful used four-door these days seek out trucks. It doesn't take much of a mechanical problem (or accumulation of parking tickets) to doom a car like today's Junkyard Gem. So many features!

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:

Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.
