Daytona Beach, Florida, United States

Old School Style!! For more information, contact Clint @ 610-763-8277 For your consideration is a beautiful 1962 Buick Special Convertible. What makes this super rare vehicle even more collectible that its’ equipped with the factory numbers matching 215 Aluminum V8 (155 H.P) engine and mated to the original 2 Speed Buick Automatic Transmission. I acquired the car from the grandson of the original owner who purchased it new, so it was a one family owned car. It drives and rides straight down the road. Very smooth, handles extremely well for what it is, and easy to drive for a man or woman of any size. Short or tall, it is an enjoyable ride. I am 6’3”, and fit comfortably with the top up or down. Restored and updated in the mid 1990’s with one repaint. The paint shows very well and still retains much depth and shine. All of the stainless and chrome are in good condition, free of pitting or rust. The front and rear bumpers are presentable, but could be sent out for re-chroming to be perfect. I did get a price of $750 for the pair. The Power convertible top works, moves up and down as it should, and shows well. There are two spots on the top where it must have rubbed from storing the vehicle with the top down. It does not leak, but is visible. The interior was replaced in the 1990’s as well, and looks great. No rips, tears, or issues. All of the gauges, interior and exterior lights, blinkers, brake lights are functional. Even the original AM Radio works! The clock on the dash does not work at this time. The Buick appears to retain all of its original sheet metal, floors, trunk pan, etc. It was a southern car its whole life, so it has been preserved well. The undercarriage is clean and straight. Free of rust, bubbles, holes, or issues. The 4 bbl carburetor has just been rebuilt, along with the brakes. The suspension and shocks have been upgraded at some point over the years. Tires have less than 1,000 miles. Last weekend I took the car on a 200 mile trip and I got 20 mpg on the highway! Overall, it is a step up from driver quality condition, but not a 100 point show car. It is turn key, drive home today, ready to enjoy. It needs nothing to take to a local car show and win a trophy. Or take grand kids for ice cream. At this price point, it’s a tremendous opportunity to get into a classic convertible at a price that doesn’t break the bank! I have many more photos that can be viewed on a website. Email for the the link or give me a call for more info 610-763-8277. I encourage & welcome pre purchase inspections. I will work with your inspector, appraiser, mechanic, etc to make you feel comfortable with your purchase. Vehicle is sold AS-IS, NO Warranties Expressed or Implied.

This is a legal binding contract. If you are the winning bidder, you are obligated to complete the purchase. You are not bidding on the opportunity to come and look at the vehicle and decide if you want to purchase the item! Also, please have all financing or funds in place prior to bidding.

PLEASE NOTE: If you pay by a certified check, vehicle WILL NOT be released until funds have cleared my banking institution!! Which typically takes 7 days.I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback! Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, 32118. Minutes from major route 95 on the northeast coast of Florida. 10 minutes from (DAB)-Daytona Beach International Airport. 70 miles to (MCO)-Orlando or (SFB)-Sanford International Airports. Fly in and drive it home!! I will assist with selling worldwide, but payment and arrangements are buyer’s responsibility. I have used several shipping companies in the past, and can recommend shippers to contact, or can be arranged right through ebay and their recommended carriers. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info. I do not send second chance offers! |

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says
Wed, Apr 15 2015You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.
