  Up for bid is my 1986 Buick Lesabre Estate Wagon Hearse. I am unsure of the coach builder as there are no markings I am aware of. This is a standard Estate Wagon frame, making it a shorter body than most hearses, so it is an excellent entry level coach. It has the standard back door with a power window. The previous owner had removed the casket table, I installed the proper back seat and third row seat for the standard Estate Wagon. The back seat has seatbelts installed, but not the shoulder straps as there are no existing anchors on the car. You can install them yourself or remove the shoulder straps altogether. I was also able to find the proper trim as well, so it is truly a hearse for the family.

   The car has a new water pump, thermostat, new battery and radiator. The stereo has been replaced with an in dash DVD player which can be easily wired to a back up camera. The brakes need work, it has the hydro boost system and the break booster is no longer working, it could be something simple or the brake booster may need to be replaced, probably not a big deal to someone who knows what they are doing. It can also be changed over to a vacuum break system with little modification. The air conditioner blows cool, but not cold and the cruise control doesn't engage. There is a rust spot near the back door as well as the spare tire compartment with small areas of light surface rust, but nothing major. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter panel which has mostly been bumped back out. As with nearly all Lesabres the plastic fenders are cracking, I have the majority of the missing pieces to the front which can be reassembled and fiberglassed. The back is mostly missing, but is a flat expanse, so it can be replaced with whatever you wish. The vinyl top has a bit of cracking, but all cracks and splits have been sealed with silicone and the top painted, so it is watertight. This was my daily driver for about two years and has always been reliable.

   This car has endless possibilities, it can fit 4'x8' sheets of plywood with the front seat pushed all the way forward and has seating for eight.

   Serious bidders only please, a $250.00 deposit is due within 72 hours of the closing bid with the difference payable via money order, cashier's check or cash in person within seven days. The car is being sold as is and where is. I have described the vehicle to the best of my knowledge, there may be other issues which I am unaware of, but it did pass all other points of a PA state inspection with the exception of the brakes.  Thanks for looking and good luck!

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Buick Riviera

Sat, Nov 25 2023

The Buick Riviera personal luxury coupe attained monstrous proportions by the middle 1970s, scaling in at well over 4,500 pounds by 1976. After spending 1977 and 1978 as sibling to the Chevy Caprice, the Riviera then moved to the front-wheel-drive platform used by the Cadillac Eldorado and Oldsmobile Toronado, staying there through the 1985 model year. The Riviera world became a lot more interesting for the 1986 model year, when a smaller and more sophisticated generation hit showrooms with curvier lines and electronic gadgetry straight out of science fiction. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, found in a self-service boneyard in Phoenix, Arizona. What makes this car such a fascinating bit of automotive history is this dash-mounted touchscreen interface, known as the Graphic Control Center. The 1986 Riviera was the first GM vehicle to get the GCC, which means it was the first production car in history with a factory-installed touchscreen display. This system became available in the Buick Reatta and the Oldsmobile Toronado a few years later.  The GCC used a cathode-ray tube screen sourced from an ATM manufacturer, which ran on 120VAC power and required an inverter and dangerous high-voltage wiring inside the dash. It was used to operate the HVAC, the radio and the trip computer, as well as to display operating and diagnostic information. The system used numerous bulky components in addition to the dash screen; I've extracted a couple of complete sets of GCC components over the years and plan to build them into a junkyard-parts boombox. As it turned out, the senior-citizen-heavy demographic of Buick shoppers didn't feel great enthusiasm for the GCC and there wasn't a huge sales payoff for this revolutionary technology. That didn't stop GM from introducing the first mass-produced cars with head-up displays a couple of years later. The running gear wasn't quite as sophisticated as the GCC. The 1986-1993 Rivieras got old-fashioned 3.8-liter Buick V6s under their hoods; the one in this car was rated at 140 horsepower and 200 pound-feet. If you wanted a manual transmission in your '86 Rivvie, you were out of luck. A four-speed automatic was mandatory equipment. Note the unusual face-loading cassette deck in front of the shifter; the AM/FM radio was a remote-controlled unit living inside the center console. The MSRP for this car was $19,831, or about $55,691 in 2023 dollars.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
