This big Buick Electra 225 is up for sale. We have checked this car over and it is fairly Rust free. I have peeled back the trunk material and the metal is has new. I checked the frame and it is solid. The underside is dirty but very little surface rust and car appears to have been undercoated years ago.This car was parked in the mid 80's in a garage /shop waiting to have the transmission rebuilt. It never happened. The odometer reads 56000 miles and that is believed to be original. In the spring of 2013 we bought this car to restore in our 12000 Square foot facility but the work load from customers keeps our shop full and no time to do this car. All the trim is with the car and there are a few dings in the Stainless. All can be repaired. The body of the car has some rust on the bottom of the quarter panels and small rust holes in front of the rear tires. The door pillar on the drivers door to the rear has some rust. The passenger side has some rust close to the rocker. This would be described has minimal for an old car 30 years in inside storage. There is a dent behind drivers door, other than that the body is fairly smooth and straight. No attempt was made to start the 325 HP 401 nail head. The compression is at 10:25 -1. The motor does turn over and is not locked up. The carpets were removed by previous owner in the 80's to prevent rust. The floors seem fairly solid. Everything seems original including paint. Car came from Virginia according to title. Title is clear and open. The door glass is cracked and there is a small crack in a quarter window. The interior is all intact but needs new upholstery. This is a prime car for a restoration or hot rod cruiser. We did purchase a low mileage 1975 500 Cubic inch Caddy motor and turbo 400 to install but never touched car. The caddy motor is available also but not included in auction. If you are tired of seeing 55 -57 Chevy's and want to build a rare beautiful GM offering ,this is it. Our shop is located in Cookeville,TN and can be googled under auto restoration. You can call Al Morgan at 931-432-6377 or 931-881-8351 Call only if you are serious. We would only consider trade up only. Price is $7500 or it can sit and look cool in our shop.

Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing
Tue, Aug 14 2018We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
