Verde Green, Rust-free, Documented Stage 1 on 2040-cars
Brandenburg, Kentucky, United States
|
Bought new in Lancaster, PA and lived its whole life in eastern Pennsylvania. Despite being an east coast car, the body is in fantastic condition. Driver's quarter had collision repair by the second owner that was never finished, but there is NO body filler or rust repair anywhere else on the entire car. Engine, which has a service replacement block, is non-functional and unknown if it can be rebuilt. May require replacement. 1969 GS400 engine (RR code and disassembled) available if buyer is interested. In addition, a 455 swap would be a direct replacement with parts readily available aftermarket. Carburetor is non-original. To my knowledge, all other components on the car are original, numbers matching or when replaced the original parts were retained and go with the new owner.
This is a low-optioned, non-AC car. Retains the original BB transmission and 3.64 posi rear end. Interior shows staining from its long hibernation, but the vinyl is still pliable and could be cleaned and used as is. Overall, an excellent start to a project and a good way to get into high performance Buicks without breaking the bank. Car does not run and would need to be trailered to its new home. Many pictures available on request. Option to end auction early if car sells locally. Assistance with shipping possible within approximately 300 miles of Brandenburg, KY. I bought the car with the intention of restoration, but another project stole the spotlight and I need the space in my shop. I encourage personal inspections and would be happy to show the car to any interested buyers. Reserve is set at the price I paid this past autumn. Good luck. |

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Buick teases the next-gen LaCrosse
Sat, Oct 31 2015Buick continues to play coy about the next-generation LaCrosse, but the latest teaser hints at a swoopy profile for the upcoming sedan. While mostly just a silhouette, the teaser does provide a glimpse of the flowing roof and upward crease around the rear fenders – especially handsome touches. The rest of the LaCrosse remains a mystery. The only other part that we've seen is the Avenir-inspired grille, which features a more angular surround and chrome wings jutting from emblem in the center. Styling aside, the brand claims that the sedan is now more engaging behind the wheel thanks to a stronger, lighter chassis and five-link rear suspension. Powertrain rumors are rather vague but suggest the 3.6-liter V6 will be available when the model arrives at dealers in 2016. One thing we know for certain about the LaCrosse is that it debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That only leaves a few more weeks for Buick to keep this mystery going. Related Video:
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
