Restored about 10 years ago, over $25k in receipts. New paint, top, interior including leather inserts in the seats, as it was from the factory. Almost all chrome redone. All mechanical work that was needed was done- things like suspension, steering, exhaust. Engine and trans are original and running great. 401 Nailhead, Turbohydramatic trans. Fully tuned up last year, always garaged since restoration. Won its class in some local car shows, was featured in the Washington Times "Out of the Past" column. Much attention paid to details- clock works, AM radio converted so it has FM. P/W, P/Seat, Tilt wheel, A/C (compressor engages but system has a refrig leak), P/Antenna. Trunk completely redone using correct material. Engine compartment body was painted when car was repainted, the rest is original but cleaned and in very nice original condition. Even has the "Wildcat Power" sticker on the air cleaner housing. Comes with all records of repairs done during the restoration, and photos showing the work that was done. I will also throw in a shop manual.

This car is quite stunning in person, and draws a crowd wherever it goes. Correct bronze mist metallic looks super sharp, the chrome glistens, the glass is free from scratches or pitting. All gauges work, and I added water temp and oil pressure gauges to keep a more accurate eye on things.

I have taken this car on some 200+ mile roundtrips without a hitch. Yes, she has a good appetite for fuel, but loves the open road and is the fastest full sized car I have ever owned. The 401 Nailhead is a legendary Buick motor that puts out 325 hp and 445 lb/feet of torque. It makes maximum torque at pretty low rpms, which is why these engines were popular in drag racing cars back in the 1960s. This is also the first year that Buick had the Hydramatic trans- what I think is a nice improvement from the somewhat lazy Dynaflow.

There are comparably lots of '64 Rivieras around, but this car is rare. I have seen a few '64 Electras at car shows or in the Hershey car corral, but they have always been sedans. The Sport Coupe, with its standard leather buckets and center console, is far more unique.

So channel your inner Don Draper- with Mad Men just starting a new season, this is a fine example of American car building at its best during the Mad Men era.

Amazing car!!

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up

Thu, 08 May 2014

The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.

Buick adds Sport Touring trim to sedan lineup

Fri, Aug 14 2015

Buick has made a few tweaks to its sedan lineup today, announcing that a new Sport Touring trim will be offered on the LaCrosse, Regal, and Verano. It's best to think of the new Sport Touring models as Buick's answer to Chevrolet's limited range of RS models, focusing on very small style changes rather than any added performance. Best to leave that to the Regal GS, we guess. For the ST trim, Buick has fitted its three four-doors with new 18-inch wheels. These relatively sporty hoops get machined faces with black inserts, like those offered on the Encore Sport Touring and the Enclave Tuscan Edition. Also coming to the LaCrosse, Regal, and Verano Sport Touring is a new rear spoiler. Like we said, these are simple styling packs meant to spice up the staid but handsome exteriors of the brand's sedans. "These new ST models underscore the importance of design choices, while complementing the safety, refinement and connectivity technologies that are drawing new customers to Buick dealerships," Buick VP Duncan Aldred said in the attached statement. The new trim level will be available on all three vehicles this fall, with prices to be announced closer to the on-sale date. Scroll on for the official presser from Buick.

Each features special 18-inch wheels with machined faces and black "pockets," and a rear spoiler. They join the Enclave Tuscan Edition and recently announced Encore Sport Touring as special models expanding Buick's lineup with more design-focused choices. "Buick is reaching an all-new generation of customers by reinventing itself in terms of design, function and capabilities," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. "These new ST models underscore the importance of design choices, while complementing the safety, refinement and connectivity technologies that are drawing new customers to Buick dealerships." The new Sport Touring sedans Â– and Encore Sport Touring Â– go on sale this fall. LaCrosse Sport Touring includes Buick IntelliLink with Apple CarPlay capability, OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspot, remote start, eight standard air bags (including rear-seat thorax air bags) and leather-trimmed seats Â– with heated front seats.

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.
