UP for bid is a 1966 Buick Electra 225 Convertible. The car has not been driven regularly in some time so prior to putting this vehicle on the road it should be gone over. Exterior: The car was painted a few years ago with lacquer after it was stripped down as the paint was checked. There was some minor surface rust and a hole in the bottom of the drivers rear quarter panel and the bottom of the drivers front fender. Both spots had the rust cut out and a metal patch welded in. Other then that the bumpers are driver condition and the trim is the same. The paint is fair and could stand to unpolished up. It does have some minor defects as it was done by a novice. There are a few pieces that are off the car one is the hood molding ( it is pitted badly that's why I didn't put it back on, the drivers side chrome needs to be put on, and the two rear quarter pieces need to be put on. Also the rear fender skirts need to be painted ( I have extra paint from when the car was painted that goes with the car). The trunk floor is mostly solid but has the usual rust spots where the mounts are behind the rear axle. Interior: The interior is in good shape and is mostly original except for the drivers area as it was fixed some time in the cars life. The carpet needs be shampooed. The dash is the worst of all with cracks in the center. The convertible top works great and goes up and down without a problem BUT THE MATERIAL ON THE TOP IS SHOT! It will need a top which cost between $800 and $1,000. I also have a door rubber kit that goes with the car. The windows also work as they should. Engine: The car needs a tune up since the wires and stuff are probably 30 years old but the car runs good. There is a new timing chain on the car and while doing that a new water pump was put on since it was already off. The AC pump works fine and there is a new battery in the car. The previous owner said that the heater core was leaking and bypassed it. This is not a show car by any means. It will be a great driver with a little work for someone to enjoy. The car is also advertised locally so if it sells the auction will be stopped. It is also being sold AS/IS WHERE/IS and will not be released until the car is paid for in full. If you have any questions please ask.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
2018 Buick Regal TourX starts right around $30,000
Wed, Jun 28 2017The all-new Buick Regal is coming, and it's ditching the sedan bodystyle in favor of two liftback variants. This week, CarsDirect reported pricing on the more interesting of the two, the Regal TourX. While we're waiting on an official confirmation from Buick, at $29,995 (presumably before destination), the lifted-wagon will significantly undercut competitors from BMW, Volvo, and Audi. With standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged inline-four, the Regal TourX has the potential to steal som sales from the Europeans. CarsDirect bases its report on the latest Buick order guides. All versions of the Regal TourX come with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four making 250 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic. Push-button start, active-noise cancellation, and 18-inch wheels are part of the package. The Regal TourX Preferred bumps the price to $33,575. For the extra few hundred dollars, you get an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver's seat, and door sill plates. There are also more colors available than on the base model. Further options include a $1,240 driver's assistance package with blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, and cross-traffic alert, and a $1,200 panoramic moonroof. A fully loaded, top-trim Regal TourX rings in at $38,860. Direct competitors are difficult to name. The pricing is above something like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, but far less than the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, or a BMW 3 Series wagon. It ought to offer more power and refinement than a Subaru Outback, but we'll have to wait to drive it before we can make a final call.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.
