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.

2013 Buick Encore

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.

Two nearly new 1987 Buick Grand National 'twins' found in garage after 30 years

Fri, Apr 7 2017

Back in the '80s, a Buick Grand National could leave a lot of vehicles in its dust. The final, 1987 version of the menacingly styled performance coupe produced 245 horsepower and 355 pound feet of torque, and it was never designed to sit still, let alone for 30 years. But two low-mile Grand Nationals did just that. At the time, it was widely known that nothing like the Grand National would be built again, as the Regal platform would be moving to front-wheel drive. So a lot of buyers stockpiled Grand Nationals and rarer GNX versions with the idea of making a buck on them when they gained value. Some people even bought several. That's what happened to these two cars, recently unearthed from their slumber. Thirty years of storage has turned them into barn finds instead of showroom beauties, and they haven't exactly been flawlessly preserved. A story reported on gm-efi.com shows the cars – the "Twins," as they're called Â– parked side to side, the way they were laid to rest decades ago, with thick dust on them. Two enthusiasts, Shawn Matthews and William Avila, originally contacted the owner, who had posted them for sale on Facebook with a staggering $200,000 asking price. After inspecting the cars and confirming they were legit, the prospective buyers managed to strike a deal for an undisclosed sum. The story does say the seller was a bit eccentric, demanding money in hand before the cars could be touched at all, but the cars were eventually acquired and transported to a shop for desperately needed refurbishing. Time has caused the headliners on both cars to droop, and it's obvious all gaskets and fluids will need to be addressed, but both cars have extremely low odometer readings: One has 807 miles on the clock, while the other hasn't even reached 600. The car with a more miles was moved "once in a while," so clearly the original owner couldn't resist giving it a go while the other one slept. We couldn't've, either.
