There is a small community of hippies, recluses, rastafarians and lumberjacks in-between the haves and have nots in Northern California. Sequestered in the massive redwood forrest, this small enclave is marked only by a small Post Office. Entering the winding network of dirt roads is definitely at your own risk. Everyone in the small community knows and respects each other and watches out for their neighbors. So Chatman and I entered in our trusty Jeep blasting our Bob Marley tape. When we rounded a corner both of our jaws hit the ground. We thought we had hit the jackpot as this GSX Clone had us both fooled. A young man who was wise passed his years informed us that we were looking at a clone which surprised us both. I feel that this clone had been created in the 80s or 90s as it just has a great time capsule type feel. So we made a deal and drove it out to the main road. Actually the young man drove it out for me and did a 30 yard burn out in my face, flinging gravel and dirt from both wheels. It was an impressive display and I didn't feel disrespected at all.
In addition to the GSX bolt ons this car has disc brakes, bucket seats, console, and power windows. The air cleaner is not the Ram Air style. The right fender was a replacement. The car appears to have been orange or copper originally. It starts on a couple clicks and shifts hard. The engine has a deep ticking noise. The young man I got it from advised me that a new oil pump should be installed. This car almost went to the Part Yard. They said it was locked up tight and the tow guy came and popped the locks on the door and trunk. The young man rushed down from his hillside cabin and apparently a fussy neighbor had called the Parking Police. This didn't surprise me as the young man had a half dozen power wagons and 3 fox bodies scattered about the forrest. Also the column and under dash wiring will need an extensive redo. What I have for you here is a very cool Buick project. The neighborhood is already abuzz with questions. The exhaust system roars a mighty roar. This car can be loaded easily and sent your way without trouble. Just let us know. |

2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
