Car has been fitted with a great glasspack & muffler, has a very deep throaty sound. Combined with the solid black paint and overall profile you'll be turning heads everywhere you go! This car is powerful yet smooth, can be driven hard & fast or cruised in style. Power steering is extremely smooth, handles great for such a large framed car of its age!
This is a big car, has HUGE trunk space and can comfortably fit 3 in the back and 2 in front, a 3rd can squeeze in the front if needed as well.
Recently had the radiator hoses replaced.
Carb was rebuilt in late 2010.
The body is in great shape, small dent on right side (mid body) was long painted over when purchased.
The car was one of my daily drivers, very reliable and very very fast
The BAD:
Needs a new battery, current battery is at the end of its life
AC needs freon but did work thru the summer of 2011
Steering wheel missing original Buick logo
One tire likes to lose air randomly (had to fill it back up to match the other tires by about 10 every 3-4 weeks)
Due to business deployment I am not home enough to enjoy or take care of the car, have been away since Mid December. I had a week home in January when I fired it up and took it for a quick spin. After that its been sitting undriven. I was told by a family member that the battery needed to be fully charged overnight recently for the car to fire up. Was told it turned twice and then the lights and stereo died out as the battery failed. When I last left my mechanic did inform me the battery was failing so I wasn't surprised to hear this. The car could also use an oil change as it's been about 2500-3000 miles since its last change (plus about 3 1/2 months after those miles)
While I do love this car I feel it's time to let it go, send it off to its next awesome home & owner. As things stand now it's sitting there unadmired and aching to grab attention. Use it as your daily driver, or do some work to make it more powerful or even turn it into a show car with enough time put in!
Title is clear
This car is being sold AS-IS with NO WARRANTY. While it has been reliable for me it is an older car which has its fair share of typical wear & I cannot be responsible for any unforeseen issues. As stated it was driven fine in early January & last fired up (but not driven) early March after having it's battery recharged over night.

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
Buick Blackhawk concept headed to auction block again
Tue, Jan 27 2015While the collector car auction market is often criticized for inflating the price of vintage models out of the realm of affordability for many buyers, these sales do give us an opportunity to look back on some of the beautiful, rare designs of the past. Just take a glance at this Buick Blackhawk concept with a shape right out of the '40s or '50s. Despite the heritage styling, it was pieced together from older pieces for Buick to celebrate itself in the early 2000s With styling inspiration from the classic Buick Y-Job concept car, the Blackhawk mixes actual vintage components to create its curvaceous shape. However, the power retractable top is thoroughly modern being made from carbon fiber and stows in the deck lid when the roof needs to go down. After so much work on the outside, the Buick has something equally surprising under the hood. It's a 1970 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 GS Stage III V8 with a claimed 463 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, and for easy cruising the mill is linked to a four-speed automatic. Built in-house by Buick, the Blackhawk was once part of the General Motors Heritage Fleet, but the automaker sold it off in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, along with many other members of the collection. The concept went for $522,500 after the buyer's premium, according to the auctioneers. Now, it's crossing the block again with no reserve as part of RM Auctions sale of the Andrews Collection on May 2, 2015, in Fort Worth, TX. The 75-car auction also includes highlights like one of seven 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet models bodied by Pininfarina.
