 HERE IS A BUICK WITH THE GROUND SHAKING 425 NAILHEAD DUAL QUAD MOTOR, TURBO 400 TRANS AND POSI REAR. DRIVELINE HAS BEEN REBUILT. MOTOR HAS VERY MILD CAM, AND TRANS (BS-65) REBUILT WITH SYNTHETIC FLUID. TRANSMISSION LEAVES A COUPLE OF DROPS HERE AND THERE AFTER SITTING. I BELIEVE IT IS FROM THE PAN.  IT IS NOT COMING FROM THE FRONT SEAL.   REAR WAS FINE AND LEFT UNTOUCHED.

RUNS LIKE A CHAMP.  HANDLES AND STOPS LIKE A 1965 BUICK.

BOTH CARBS WERE PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS

MOTOR SHOWS A CASTING # B1364704 WHICH MAKES IT A 63-66 425 BLOCK. THERE ARE NO #'S IN FRONT OF THE VALLEY PAN.  MOTOR DOES HAVE THE "L" OR DOG LEG ON THE REAR OF THE BLOCK WHICH IS TO INDICATE IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A 425

STORY ON THE MISSING #'S.......... WHEN WE PULLED THE MOTOR FOR A REBUILD, THE MACHINIST INDICATED TO ME THAT THERE WERE NO STAMPED NUMBERS ON THE FRONT EDGE OF THE MOTOR, WHERE THEY ARE NORMALLY FOUND.  WHEN THE MOTOR WAS DISMANTLED, IT APPEARED TO HAVE NEVER BEEN REBUILT, SO THE MISSING NUMBERS ARE A MYSTERY.  HE OFFERED TO MAKE IT A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR WITH HIS STAMP KIT, BUT I FIGURED THAT IF ALL IT TOOK TO MAKE A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR WAS A STAMP KIT,  I WOULD JUST LEAVE IT AS I FOUND IT. 

CAR IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS:
A/C,
P/S,
P/B,
P/W,
SPORT WOOD/STAINLESS STEERING WHEEL,
CRUISE CONTROL,
POWER TRUNK RELEASE,
POWER DRIVER SEAT,
POWER ANTENNA,
REMOTE DRIVERS MIRROR
TILT WHEEL,
REAR SEAT ARMREST,
OPTIONAL CHROME INTERIOR TRIM,
REAR SPEAKER,
TINTED GLASS,
RIBBED ROCKER PANEL COVERS

MANY OF THE OPTIONS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL, AS THE VACUUM LINES WERE NOT RECONNECTED WHEN THE MOTOR WAS REINSTALLED.  DRIVERS SEAT ONLY MOVES SLIGHTLY, BUT I NEVER WORRIED ABOUT IT AS IT IS COMFORTABLE FOR ME.

CLAMSHELLS WORK VIA A TOGGLE SWITCH AND ARE OPERATED BY A FORD BRONCO POWER WINDOW MOTOR ADAPTED TO FIT THE ORIGINAL LINKAGE. 
NOTE:  CLAMSHELLS HAVE QUIT WORKING ON THEIR OWN, AND NEED A LITTLE HELP OPENING AND CLOSING.  IT MAY BE LUBRICATION, OR A TIRED MOTOR.  MY SHOULDER HURTS, AND I CAN'T FIX IT.

THE A/C WORKED WHEN I GOT THE CAR , BUT NOW I GUESS IT HAS RUN OUT OF GAS.

INTERIOR IS PRESENTABLE....NOT NEAR PERFECT. 6 OUT OF 10

ITEMS NOT STOCK ARE THE RADIO W/AMP (YES, I CUT THE DASH) AND A 10 DISC CHANGER IN THE TRUNK THAT HAS STOPPED READING CD'S, PERTRONIX IGNITION, DUAL MASTER CYLINDER AND THREE POINT SEAT BELTS.

CAR HAS SOME RUST BUBBLES HERE AND THERE, BUT THEY REALLY HAVE NOT CHANGED MUCH IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. I TRIED NOT TO DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN, AND IT ALWAYS SLEPT INSIDE. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE THEM IN THE PICS, THERES A FEW AROUND EACH WHEEL WELL. UNDERSIDE WAS UNDERCOATED LONG AGO AND IS PRETTY CLEAN FOR ITS AGE. DON'T EXPECT A 100 POINT CAR AT THIS PRICE. THIS IS A REALLY COOL DRIVER, AND ITS NOT A TYPICAL CHEVY OR FORD (NO OFFENSE, I HAVE BOTH MYSELF)

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY OPTIONED GS I HAVE EVER SEEN.  CHECK OUT MECUM AUCTIONS, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THESE CARS CONSISTENTLY COMMAND $50,000 AND UP ON THE AUCTION BLOCK.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:

Buick version of Equinox/Terrain CUV spied testing... with autonomous gear?

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

Let's get the most pressing bits of this story out of the way right off the bat: What we see here appears to be a new compact crossover from Buick. According to the spy photographer, this machine may be a little bit smaller on the outside than the current Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain 'utes, which makes sense since recent rumors suggest GM's small crossovers will migrate to a new platform that will mark a convergence between the automaker's Delta (Chevy Cruze, Buick Verano) and Theta (Equinox, Terrain) platforms. This Buick would likely use this new D2UX platform.
We've been expecting Buick to unleash a crossover to slot between the very small Encore and the very large Enclave, and various rumors have indicated that the model may be known as either the Anthem or Envision. It's worth mentioning that Buick had planned, back in 2009, to release a vehicle in the compact CUV market, but abandoned those plans after a particularly poor reception.
And now for something completely different... Take another look at the spy shots above, and pay special attention to the cylindrical device mounted to the vehicle's roof. We can't say for sure what it is, but our spy photographer opines that it looks quite a bit like the 360-degree Lidar camera equipment used by Google for its autonomous cars. Is General Motors working with Google on autonomous car technology? We don't know, but you can definitely consider us intrigued.

Buick to kill Verano as early as 2017

Mon, May 9 2016

The Buick Verano's days are allegedly numbered. Citing unnamed sources, Automotive News is reporting that Buick will kill its Delta-platform-based sedan. The company offered the typical "no comment." According to AN, Buick is expecting 70 percent of its sales to come from the Encore, Envision, and Enclave once the Envision goes on sale. And it doesn't take a professor of economics to recognize that when half the vehicles you build account for just 30 percent of the sales, it's time to trim. But the case for killing the Verano is a weird one, because the problem isn't a lack of demand. Struggling sales might be the reason to kill a car, but the Verano is – and has consistently been – Buick's second best-selling sedan. It's beaten the slightly larger, more expensive Regal by at least 12,000 units in each of the last four years. Hell, in 2013, Buick sold 45,000 Veranos to fewer than 19,000 Regals. So why not kill the Regal? Well, the Verano's raison d'etre is irrelevant today. Buick launched its smallest sedan at a time when premium compact four-doors weren't a thing and gas prices were high enough that consumers were still hesitant to tie themselves to a CUV's fuel bill. And while it was roughly the same size as the Chevrolet Cruze that it shared GM's Delta platform with, it had enough unique equipment to stand apart and warrant its price premium. Today, fuel prices are cheap and consumers are flocking to crossovers while Buick is stuck sharing the premium compact pie with much more prestigious names ( Mercedes-Benz and Audi). And because it's sharing showroom space with the super-popular Encore, even the Verano's affordable pricing has become a liability. Today, a lightly equipped Verano is the same price as a base Encore, and they offer broadly similar features (rear-view cameras, a seven-inch touchscreen with Intellilink, Bluetooth, etc.). And if the Encore is too small, there's probably a GMC Terrain sitting in the same showroom, offering more utility and equal equipment to the Verano for a similar price. As one dealer told AN, "For not much more money, customers can get an SUV." Killing the Verano might risk 30,000 to 40,000 sales, but it's a move that proves Buick has tremendous confidence in its CUV lineup – clearly the company thinks the Encore can do the job of luring customers into showrooms. AN's sources claim the Verano will survive through 2017, so we'll be waiting a few years to find out if that faith is misplaced. Related Video:
