1969 Buick Electra 225 Custom Convertible, 65k Original Miles, A Nice Cruiser!! on 2040-cars
Wakefield, Massachusetts, United States
|
1969 Buick Electra 225 Convertible This is a very solid and well driving classic 60's drop top. 430 V8 (recent rebuild), 3spd automatic, rust free body, good paint, etc. Option include: Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Dual Exhaust, Power Convertible Top, Power Windows, AM-FM Radio, Power Antenna, Tilt-Wheel, Air Conditioning, and Chrome Road Wheels. The car presents very well but as with any unrestored 45 year old car there are things that will need some attention - NONE prohibit you from enjoying this car just the way it is. 1.) Heater Core is bypassed - must have a leak in the core. 2.) Exhaust Manifold on the driver's side has a small leak, most likely a gasket since the motor is fresh. The exhaust looks new the rest of the way - I did notice a small hole in one muffler most likely due to condensation in the muffler. 3.) Radio does not seem to work - could be the antenna. 4.) Some minor rust bubbles that can be easily repaired (not rotted) showing around chrome trim at the base of the convertible ahead of the trunk. 5.) When you top off the gas tank - some gas will leak from the sender gasket on top of the tank. That's about it - I'm helping a friend sell this car, so any questions you have I can get answered, but may take a day or two. As with any classic / old car there is no warranty expressed or implied, interested parties are encouraged to make arrangements to see the vehicle in person - or have someone in the area come and see it on your behalf. Thanks for your consideration! Dave (617)513-7407 Car is located in Wakefield, MA |

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
