  I found this car on my mail route last summer and passed it on to my inlaws in arkansas, they have enjoyed it for about a year and just purchased 18 acres and are going to build a house so they are passing it on to the next care taker. 350 2 barrel automatic on column, power sterring, a/c 73,000 original miles. I drove it from arkansas back to lees summit this morning (4 hours on the 21st) and it ran beautifully. Dorothy archer bought it new from dunn buick in oklahoma city ok on 8-27-69, it spent part of it's life there and then she moved to ellinwood ks, she owned it up until 2008, the story i got was that she drove it to woodstock in 69, the second owner also lived in kansas. He did the gs conversion (original gs hood and gs badges, brand new magnum 500 wheels and bf goodrich t/a's) the gold was repainted because of the original badge holes, the white painted top is original paint. I have about 23 pieces of documentation/records, the protectoplate the pre delivery checklist with protectoplate embossed on it, warranty book with protectoplate numbers on it, insurance policies, service records from sears, montgomery wards and her local shop, original dealership key chain, manuals and booklets, there is a plastic holder on the dash with service dates from 2007 from the shop in ellinwood, there are oil change dates and oil type written in grease pen from the 80's on the fan shroud along with some factory chalk marks on the firewall. This buick is unbelievable, it's the only classic car that i have experienced that starts runs and drives just like new, high idle kicks down twice to normal idle, suspension acts just like new, doors shut and lock like new, windows work like new. The interior is all original parchment/ black except for the carpet i think, it usually fades after 45 years, and the kick panels are plastic with speakers in them but the original am radio. The dash is pristine speedometer is smooth and true no jumping around a/c blows ice cold. My father in law drove it to arkansas last summer with the a/c on and got 18 mpg. Headliner door panels rear deck all in excellent shape. Exterior and paint are in excellent condition, glass is excellent, stainless and chrome are excellent, door handles in and out and window cranks excellent no pitting. This car has never been taken apart, the weatherstripping is original and still soft nothing is cracked or brittle, body is super solid, there is light surface rust on the underneath of floor pans as you can see in pics, you can still see the bare metal, unbelievable. It wouldn't surprise me if it has never sat outside it's entire life. The motor runs smooth and strong no smoking oil consumption, or leaking, tranny shifts smooth fluid smells good. I drove it 80 mph most of the way back from arkansas, i let go of the wheel it drove strait, brakes straight, everything on the car works like new, all lights work, Last summer i changed oil belts and hoses and tuned it up not knowing the age of this stuff and the the fact he was driving it 4 hours to arkansas. I have heard this my whole life "i would drive this car cross country" but i think this car has proven that. This car hasn't sat and sat and sat, it has been driven sparingly every year and meticulously maintained, i I can also imagine reading this that it sounds like a bunch of b. s. but i can't say enough about this car, and my feedback has always been 100% and i intend to keep it that way. I do body paint and restoration on muscle cars on the side, so i know what i'm looking at, i have had, bought and sold a lot of cars and this is the best one yet, even after a total restoration cars don't feel like this one like it did when new, i also have gotten compliments from craigslist and ebay users about the honesty and accuracy of my adds, i will not misrepresent anything i sell, this is very important to me. This car is not every ones favorite car but if it's yours you will not be disappointed. This is a beautiful car but not one that you would be afraid to drive. If you don't intend on buying this car please don't bid on it.

Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements i will aid in loading
The car is for sale locally so i reserve the right to end auction early,$500 deposit due within 48 hours of the end of auction, pick up and total payment due within 7 days.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
