Dont miss out on this Rare hard to find in this condition 1973 Buick Century GS. tHIS UNIT IS A VIRGIN PRETTY MUCH UNTOUCHED 90% ORIGINAL PAINT ONE SMALL RUB MARK IN THE PASSENGERS DOOR BUT FOR THE RIGHT COLLECTOR ONE CAR HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. NICE ENOUGH TO MAKE HEMMINGS MAGAZINE 2/1/2010PLUS IT COMES WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL PAPER WORK INCLUDING THE WINDOW STICKER. LOOKS GREAT RUNS GREAT NEEDS NOTHING ! Feature Article from Hemmings Motor NewsFebruary, 2010 - Tucked in among the bumper crop of offerings at the 2009 AACA Fall Meet was this colonnade: Buick's 1973 Gran Sport. Rarely seen and often underappreciated, a properly equipped Gran Sport (that is the official name; the GS designation was dropped after 1972) was still a viable muscle car in a very unmuscular automotive world. To get there, however, you had to move further down the option chart since the Gran Sport package was relegated to a trim level. Its base two-barrel, 350-cu.in. V-8 could have been swapped out for a four-barrel 350, a 455 or the high-demand 455 Stage 1; the M-21 four-speed was also offered, but the Stage 1 mandated the Turbo 400 automatic.
The seller of this particular example provided onlookers with the original dealer order sheet that listed 21 options, including the 190hp four-barrel 350 ($46); custom paint ($113); vinyl top ($84); dual exhaust ($30); chrome wheels ($92); whitewalls ($32); air conditioning ($397); GS package ($173). In all, the 21 options added $1,689 to the base Century's $3,130.45 sticker.
Said sticker aside, we did one quick lap around the find, anticipating the discovery of rust, as is often the case with 1970s metal. What we instead found was nothing but very presentable paint over seemingly original body panels. The same could be said of the interior, which, viewed through locked doors looked nearly blemish-free. In fact, it actually looked as though it was an as-advertised low-mileage car.
And there we stood, staring lustfully at a fine example of posh performance. Dreams of endless, empty highway flashed past with the faint sound of Flint's more fuel-efficient 350 singing its wide-open gospel. Whether or not anyone actually jumped at the chance to pilot this big-bumper Buick off the Hershey Park grounds is unknown to us.

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years.
