This cool old Buick is up for auction from Cookeville TN. This was located since the Mid 80's in a shop that bought it when the transmission quite working. Then the new owner pulled all the carpet out when he was worried about floor rust. Fast Forward to 2012 when we seen this car still in the old shop pushed against the wall. We bought the vehicle to restore has we are the owners of a full service resto shop in Cookeville. Our 12,000 square foot shop is full of vehicles and we decide to make some room for customers cars. Our intent was restore and modify into a cool cruiser. We have purchased a low mileage 500 Cadilac motor and turbo 400 trans from a 75 Caddy that is not part of this auction, but could be purchased separetly. The 445 Wildcat motor is said to be a 325 HP 401 Cubic inch Nail head and is believed to be original to the car. The car body is solid and the under side appears to be just surface rust. The passenger side floor next to rocker is weak with rust but rocker look strong. By the rear pillar on the drivers side has small rust holes. There is some rust on bottom of rear quarter panels and a rust hole in front of rear tire on both sides. The frame is solid and that includes over rear wheels. The body was undercoated long ago and looks like it kept the underside in great shape There are more pic's of this that i can send if you call and give me your email address.  All of the stainless trim is with car and front trim on lower hood is in truck with door sill plated and heavy aluminum turbine and spinner hub caps. There are also extra parts that came with car including extra grill, fenders and front bumper. There is also extra complete dash instrument cluster. Unbelievable how much the cluster weighs. This GM car is a radical and rare body style that is awesome when compared to the "yawn" Tri-Five offerings from Chevy or the other GM product lines. This car is long, sleek, low and shows real engineering artistic design. Oh, it has Fins. Big fins!. The odometer shows 56003 miles. It has been park for 25-30 years. There is a clear West Virgina title.

 

Car is shipped out of Cookeville TN. Car can be restored to new owners taste right here in our shop to what ever level is desired. Any questions or comments will be answered by eBay email or call 931-432-6377    Be realistic in your bidding.

Buick Avista concept is 'buildable', but not a priority

Tue, Mar 22 2016

Buick could build the striking Avista concept that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, though it's not a top priority, the brand's top executive said Tuesday in New York. "The reaction's been so great, we'll try to run the numbers and see if there's a business case," said Duncan Aldred, Buick vice president of sales, service, and marketing. Buick will show the Avista in red this week at the New York Auto Show as a followup to its Detroit debut. Buick actually built two prototypes, which are being used to promote the brand's performance potential at auto shows around the world this year. "It's very buildable," Aldred told reporters after the reveal of the reveal of the 2017 Encore small crossover before the New York Auto Show. "Ultimately, it comes down to priorities." He added, "We'd love to do it. We could do it, but [there's] lots of things we'd love to do... Nothing to confirm or deny." The Avista concept suggests a sports car with a twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower put to the rear wheels. The two-door followed another impressive Buick concept, the Avenir, which was four-door styling exercise from the 2015 Detroit show. Though the Avista remains on the minds of enthusiasts – helped in part by Buick – the priorities for the brand are crossovers. The Avista offers style, but the freshened Encore is the substance for Buick in New York, which along with the Envision, launches this year into the red-hot utility segment. The new Cascada convertible and redesigned LaCrosse also are joining Buick's lineup this year. While the Avista is doable, the brand clearly has other priorities ahead of it. Related Video:

38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
