1970 Buick Gs 455 on 2040-cars
Flemington, New Jersey, United States
1970 GS 455 in diplomat blue with blue bucket interior and black vinyl top. 1 owner Texas vehicle. Just brought to NJ. Absolutely no rust in panels, trunk or floors (which still show blue factory overspray). One spot of rust was visible on the inside lower trim at rear window bottom. This is an early built GS as evidenced by the White top overflow and pointed gauges. All original never out of car 455 SR stamped engine and BA turbo 400 trans. Original rear still resides and is a non-posi 10 bolt. The paint, although laquer I believe is a second shoot and not original. There is checking visible is a few spots. It has a luster but will need some minor door dings and a dent in lft rear qtr removed. Also d/s door at the front needs a little repair. The vinyl top is original and does not show signs of any rust underneath. Motor runs good and trans shifts good but sometimes takes a moment to go into first gear. I am going to change the fluid and gasket and will update the progress if there is any. The car retains all original motor and trans mounts. Also new muffler and tail pipes have been istalled. Extra engine and intermediate pipes are in the truck. The original head pipes were in great shape and remain on the car. A new grille was installed and the original is in the trunk. Also a new fuel pump has been installed and the original is also in the trunk. Both bumpers are the originals. The front has a slight bend dead center and that is what probably cracked the grille. This is a great all original candidate with Protecto-plate for authenticity.It is a dry Texas body worhty of restoration or some TLC. Low production puts this car in this trim configuration at around 5-600 made.And lets not forget the 510 ft pounds of torque....oh yea that's what makes her a fun ride. Options include power drum brakes,455,A/C,d/s remote mirror, bucket seats,console,wheel well mldgs,and door edge guards. The front seats will need vinyl. Thanks and good luck.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults
Mon, Dec 1 2014General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.

Facelifted Buick LaCrosse caught in China
Tue, 01 Jan 2013Back in September, General Motors promised nine new or refreshed models for its Buick and GMC brands within 12 months, and while we've already seen what the updated 2014 GMC Sierra will look like, we're now getting our first look at what appears to be the facelifted 2014 Buick LaCrosse. Judging by a set of spy shots posted on Autohome showing a Chinese-market model, the updated sedan is getting a pretty big makeover, including a completely redesigned interior and a refreshed exterior.
From the outside, all of the usual midcycle updates have been made to the LaCrosse, including new lights and fascias. The new front end features a larger, reshaped seven-sided grille, LED-trimmed headlights and Buick's signature portholes are now mounted on the side edges of the hood to be more visible. The rear view has similarly small yet refined changes such as the new decklid with a chrome brow that stretches the full width of the car, to a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed out to the corners. From the single shot we can see, the LaCrosse's new rump looks very similar to the Hyundai Equus.
The second-generation LaCrosse helped reestablish Buick as a near-premium automaker with its interior quality, and the next model could very well up the stakes even more. The new cabin design ditches the wraparound wood trim on the instrument panel and door panels for a smoother, more contemporary look. While it's hard to make out all of the changes, we can instantly see that the center stack is now more upright with fewer buttons, but the biggest news might be the cabin technology the 2014 LaCrosse might offer. Checking out the shot of the center console, we see what looks to be a pad similar to the handwriting recognition technology used by Audi, which would make this a first for GM.
