1965 BUICK RIVIERA WITH BUICK DUAL QUAD INTAKE & CARBS. EXCELLENT CAR TO CLONE A GRAN SPORT. THE 4 CORRECT (NEW) EMBLEMS & NEWLY CHROMED DUAL QUAD AIR CLEANER CAN BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE FOR AN AGREED ADDITIONAL PRICE.

This is a turn key car. Get in & drive anywhere. It had been repainted in 2002. Intake & rebuilt carbs were installed in 2012. I purchased it last year to clone a Gran Sport. But I have since lost my job & have too many other cars that need my attention. So unfortunately I have to sell this one.

The body is straight & very solid. Paint is in excellent condition. But has a scratch on the the right fender (see photo). Also a small brush touch up spot on the deck lid (see photo).
All of the chrome & moldings are very nice driver quality. No rust or pitting on the bumpers.
Floor boards & frame are solid!

The engine runs very strong & is very responsive. I was told that the transmission was rebuilt (with a mild shift kit) in 2012 when the dual quads were put on the car.  This car has a lot of power!! It does have a minor oil seepage from the back of the pan gasket. Also a minor power steering leak from the pressure line.
The odometer shows 30850. Which considering the condition & way it runs it very well could be correct. But there is no documentation to back that up. So figure on 130850.

The original seats are very nice but starting to show their age. Dash, door & rear side panels are nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small hole on the drive side front. It could use replacing. Headliner had been replaced but it is not the original style. Wood grain on the console is showing it's age. Right rear power window is very slow. 

Last but not least. The headlamp motor was working but very, very slow. One of the wires to the relay has broken off. So it will need to be rebuilt.

This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. I planned on making a GS tribute car. I even bought an air cleaner & had it re-chromed. But I now need the money so all reasonable offers will be considered.

I'm happy to answer any questions. Serious buyers only please! No low ballers!! I know what these cars are selling for & what they are worth. I sold my 65 Gran Sport last August for $50k.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

New Buick Regal Spied | Autoblog Minute

Opel Insignia wagon would make a mighty fine Buick Regal

Mon, Oct 17 2016

Once again, the Buick Regal's European stablemate will be getting a long-roof iteration, and our spy photographers have caught it out testing. Normally we wouldn't be overly concerned about the new Opel Insignia wagon, but considering the rumors surrounding a Regal wagon, we have reason to pay attention. Like the next-generation Insignia sedan that we've previously seen, this wagon adopts a much longer and wider look compared with the current model. The nose is also noticeably more upright than the gently sloping iteration of its predecessor. These changes are accompanied by more slender lights and a generally more broad-shouldered look. It's difficult to discern much else, though. As for the odds of this wagon appearing in the States, they look decent, but far from guaranteed. The next Regal sedan will probably continue as a rebadged Insignia, and may be built in Germany. Rumors of a wagon have persisted, supported by word of focus group testing with other wagons and the registration of a trademark for "Tourx." If Opel produces another high-riding, plastic-clad Country Tourer model, we could see it come here with the Tourx name to challenge the Subaru Outback, Audi Allroad, Volvo Cross Country models and, most recently, the Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain. It would also provide the company with another crossover-esque model for little extra development cost. We've also heard a report that a Regal wagon of some sort was confirmed at a dealer meeting.
