TThis car was owned by a neighbor and she was going to sell it to junk yard for scrap.It needed a lot of work but i thought it deserved a better future so i purchased it and its been a strugle but well worth it in my opinion.The motor is a 1973 350cc that came out of a truck and thats all i know about its history.From here on its an educated quess as to what has been done.After removing the valve covers we noticed how clean and new everything looked but we were having trouble developing power.So we soon relized that the lifters were set for hydraulics when in fact they were solid lifters.Once everything was adjusted proberly boy did we have power.The engine runs and sounds great,it might have a mild cam in it and although i said it had 40,000 miles on it theres a good chance that it is a fresh rebuild with less than 50 miles on it.It has a elderbrock performance high rise manifold,an elderbrock 750 carberator with electric choke,headers,true duel exhaust with flowmaster mufflers,no cats MSD Ignition and and promaster coil.It is a car that is set up to be a street rod.All the computers have been removed and a lot of rewireing was done because of that and critters eating the wires.There are 3 brand new tires on it[p235 160 R15] new headlights,new hood support struts new kick panels and new trunk lock with seperate keys.All lights work including directionals brake back-up low beam high beam running lights interior under hood and trunk.It has new volt meter,oil and temperator and tach there is no speedometer and all guages lite up.Installed diferent seats in the front the driver side is full power the seats do not fold forward but the drivers seat will go forward enougth to allow acess to the back.The neighbor told me that the transmition had been rebuilt it does shift nice the brakes are good and the emergency brake works.The paint is Krylon smoke gray out of a spray can the carpets are so-so there was some rust and thats been taken care of and the body is super strait with no issues.There is no radio but there are speakers in back and all wireing is precent.The heat works good and the car came with air but is missing compressor and hoses.To sum up no mechanical issues no electrical issues and no suspension issues.If there are question either e-mail or give me a call at 575-434-5755.Also it has brand new battery and shocks and the fuel gauge works.You are responcible for shipping[88310]and a $500.00 deposit to paypal right after buying and we'll work final payment out later.The stock seats go with car if you want them.The windshield has a crack on the passenger side that was caused by a bee-bee gun not to bad and its circular and you can't feel it other than where the bee-bee hit.Also all the locks on car work good.

NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022

Fri, Mar 18 2022

The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.
