Stunning all-original 1971 Buick Electra Limited 4 Door Hardtop with only 30,000 original Miles!  This is an amazing, rare find "top-of-the-line" Buick that runs and drives like a new car and that had only ONE OWNER untill I purchased the car for my private collection several years ago, where it has been kept in a climate-controlled, dark private storage building ever since, driven only for shows, etc.

 

OPTIONS/EQUIPMENT:

- All "Limited" trim exterior and interior upgrades (The "top-of-the-line" trim level/model for Buick Electras in 1971).

- All-original 455 CID V-8 engine with only 30,000 miles since new (runs and drives superb).

- Air conditioning (still works!)

- Power windows

- Cruise control

- Power front bench seat

- AM Radio (works fine)

- Electric rear defroster

- Power trunk release

- Cornering lamps

- Original front and rear factory floor mats

- Full-length body side moldings

- White wall radial tires

 

EXTERIOR:

- ALL Original "Willowgreen Metallic" laquer paint from the factory that still shines and gleams like new with no cracking.  (There are a number of places where the original, elderly owner touched up the paint with the correct, factory touch-up paint that are visible up close, but I have not addressed  any of that because I wanted to keep the car all original)

- No dents or body damage or rust - EVER . (Some minor dings visible only up close and minor corrosion on the very bottom of the car where there were rock chips over the years)

- Chrome is like new with no corrosion, hazing or pitting.

- Rare "steel top" model (vinyl top delete from factory).

- All glass like new condition.

 

INTERIOR:

- All Original broccade cloth interior in striking "bone" color - NO RIPS or CRACKS ANYWHERE!  (Even the original door panels are uncracked, which is very rare for these cars!)

- Dash and gauges/instruments are like new - no discoloration/pitting or fading, and everything is in working order.

- Headliner and carpets also in pristine condition.

 

MECHANICAL:

- This care runs and drives like new and is whisper quiet.

- To my knowlege, there have neen no prior mechanical repairs, except for routine oil/filter/fluid changes etc.

 

This is a one-of-a-kind collector car in all original condition with super low miles and in a striking color combination.  Doubtful there are any other comparable 71 Electras still left out there.  This is, however, a 40-plus year old car in original, unrestored condition that is actually driven so it is not a "perfect" 100 point museum piece, nor is it being held out as such.  Please ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding.  The car is available for inspection at my storage building in Northern Kentucky near the Cincinnati, Ohio International Airport so please make arrangements for any inspections BEFORE bidding.  I am not a dealer but a private collector so there are no warranties, express or implied, and the car is being sold as-is, where-is.  Please check on all necessary shipping/transportation costs BEFORE bidding, as all such costs will be the responsibility of the buyer (although I will gladly work with your shipper to make the car and title available after full payment is received).  Thank you.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
