You're looking at the 'Star Car' from the Kevin Kline movie,Extra Man. I have lost a portion of my storage facility and must sell it. I know there's lots of good parts for someone ,and I hate to scrap it. This thing,as ugly as it is ,runs great! It has a rebuilt Turbo 400 with about 2k on it,a rebuilt Positraction rear end and a COMPLETE,,Unmolested 455! all the air pump stuff is there, and the car starts with the first click of the key! I'ts a Limited,which was very low production,and has all kinds of rare options: Cornering lights,Lamp monitors,Tilt Wheel,Posi,Factory Dual Exhaust, Speed minder, Factory Am-FM Stereo 60/40 split front seat with 6 way power adjustment on driver AND passenger side, power door locks,power windows, remote driver's side mirror, Power Antenna, Wire wheel covers. The interior is in really nice shape,with the exception of some small tears on the driver's seat.

  I know the car is really scary looking,but it's a great parts car or even a candidate for a restoration if someone is really motivated by the car's rarity. I just can't bring myself to scrap it,as I've owned it over 20 years,used it to tow my other show cars with(Oh it has a class 3 hitch,with an electric brake set-up),used it in a bunch of movies (In Extra Man,the director actually does a shout out for the Buick ) I'm not looking to retire by selling this car, I just want it to either help someone restore another one or perhaps rise from the ashes to let someone else enjoy it. I'll be happy to answer any questions prior to the end of the auction,and if you're local come and see it in person. Currently the car is not registered or inspected, and the brakes are a little weak due  to a broken line,but it does run and stop.

    Payment in full,either cash or bank check  before the title is transferred and the vehicle must be removed within 10 days from the end of the auction. a $200 dollar non refundable deposit is due 48 hours after the end of the auction.

   This is a NO RESERVE auction, So it's leaving,,no foolin' ! Happy Bidding!

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for the New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 25 2016

Buick is dressing up the 2017 Encore for spring – specifically the New York Auto Show – where the compact crossover is expected to strut its stuff. The freshening follows the playbook of the Chevy Trax, which was also updated with a light hand. Though it keeps its familiar shape, sort of like an oversized Pontiac Vibe, the Encore gets Buick's new grille. It's a simple look with the wings bisecting the brand's tri-shield, and it calls to mind Buick's iconic front ends from yesteryear. You might remember it from the Avenir and Avista concepts. There are also new headlights. They look stolen from Audi, and it's an attention-getting gaze for the new face of the Encore. There will likely be new wheel packages, too. We can't see inside the Encore. Spy photographers couldn't get close enough to this Buick shoot in Southern California. But, we expect the interior to also mirror the Trax enhancements, which included a new instrument panel, gauges, materials, and infotainment. The Encore shares underpinnings with the Trax and Opel Mokka. We expect the Encore to arrive in late summer.

Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
