Listed for auction is a 1965 Buick Riviera running project.I bought this car with another and it needs a new home.It runs, drives and stops but is not quite ready for the road.The engine is not numbers matching but starts right up and doesn't seem to miss a beat.The previous owner said that it had been rebuilt but probably years ago.I did notice it has a 1964 carb on it and is missing the air cleaner.The car came with a/c but is not working and missing some components.It has BR switch pitch transmission that seems to work just fine but I have only gone up and down the driveway.The rear is a 3.23 open gear.When I brought the car home it had the gas tank in the trunk that had been cleaned out and painted.That has been re-installed and fuel line connected.The fuel gauge works.The previous owner put mechanical gauges in and they work properly.This car was his daily driver for years until about 2 or 3 years ago.Exhaust has mufflers with turn outs and actually sounds nice without being obnoxious.
Brakes work well but the pedal doesn't have the feel of vacuum assist.The funny thing is that you don't have to push that hard to stop? The interior will send you back to the swinging' 70's with it's crushed velvet covers.This is the deluxe interior with power seat,which works and power windows.The seats are worn in spots but comfortable as can be.The headliner is the same material.I checked the power windows and the driver and passenger door windows work but both quarter windows will need lubrication.I could see each trying to work but didn't want to damage motors.The wood is is pretty nice shape. All glass looks very nice, very nice windshield.Tires look pretty good. The car will need some body work.The floors are solid with one hole in the passenger front on top of body brace,can't be seen from underneath.The trunk floor is nice and solid.The hood is better than most and front leading edge looks pretty good.Driver fender solid. Passenger fender has issue down low behind wheel well opening.Door skins good condition.Around back window very good.Nice straight top.The quarter panels are the worst of it,see pictures, but I have a friend that has driver and passenger complete quarter panels if needed for additional price,I can give you his contact information, or just repair.The car has one custom touch that was done by last owner.The trunk has been converted to open to the side.It was not finished and can be converted back the way it was. Most all the trim is with the car.The cathedral moldings have damage.The chrome on the bumpers has some pealing and pitting.The chrome on the wheels is pretty decent with the driver side front being the worst. The clams don't work and the motor and some of the linkage is missing.Headlights do come on but clams will need wired open.The rear brake lights and turn signals will need hooked up.I am sure there will be other wiring issues to wring out. To sum it up this car literally could be road worthy within a few days work.I realize that this is a project and the reserve is very reasonable.Any questions feel free to ask. Transportation is buyers responsibility.The car must be picked up within 14 days end of auction. |

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!

Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
