ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: grayceglleishman@devotedparents.com . BEAUTIFUL 1965 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT TRIBUTE WITH DUAL QUADS, RE-CHROMED DUAL SNORKLE AIR CLEANER & ALUMINUM
FINNED VALVE COVERS.I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2011. I SAVED IT FROM A VERY LONG STORAGE IN A MICHIGAN BARN. IT HADN'T BEEN REGISTERED
SINCE 1982. BUT TO THE OWNERS CREDIT, HE DID START IT AND YARD DRIVE IT PERIODICALLY. HE WAS THE 2ND OWNER OF THE
CAR & CLAIMED THE MILEAGE WAS CORRECT. BUT SHOWED NO PROOF OF IT. THE PAINT WAS VERY DULL. BUT IT ONLY HAD SOME
MINOR RUST IN THE LOWER REAR 1/4'S. WHICH I HAD PROPERLY REPAIRED PRIOR TO PAINT.
THE #'s MATCHING LT CODE 401ci NAILHEAD RUNS STRONG! MILD CAM, ALUMINUM VALVE COVERS & DUAL QUADS (WITH RECHROMED
AIR CLEANER) WERE INSTALLED IN 2012. NO LEAKS. NO ISSUES. NEW BELTS, HOSES, THERMOSTAT, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR,
WIRES, PLUGS, AIR & FUEL FILTERS. 4 NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, ALL 4 DRUMS TURNED & NEW FRONT BRAKE HOSES IN 2014.
REPAINTED IN 2013. STRIPPED TO BARE METAL, PRIMED & FINE SANDED. PPG BASE COAT CLEAR COAT WAS USED. IT CAME OUT
VERY NICE! IT IS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW & HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH. BOTH BUMPERS WERE RECHROMED AT THAT TIME. ALSO
INSTALLED NEW HOOD INSULATION, TRUNK MAT SET, TRUNK BOARD SET, DOOR & TRUNK WEATHERSTIPPING. YES, I HAVE A LOT OF
MONEY INVESTED INTO THIS CAR!
IN 2014 I INSTALLED A NEW HEADLINER, SAIL PANELS, REAR SHELF PANEL & FRONT SEATS WERE REUPHOLSTERED. I PLANNED TO
KEEP THIS CAR FOR A WHILE. SO I DECIDED TO MAKE MYSELF A MILD CUSTOM GRAN SPORT THE WAY I WANTED IT. I'M NOT A BIG
FAN OF THE ORIGINAL WOODGRAIN. SO I CHOSE TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR WOODGRAIN TO CARBON FIBER.
THE CAR STARTS UP EASILY, RUNS GREAT & DRIVES STRAIGHT! THE SINGLE REAR MUFFLER WAS REMOVED & IS RUNNING ON THE TWO
SMALLER RESONATOR MUFFLERS. I DID THIS TO GIVE IT A DEEP THROATY TONE. I THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT!
I HAD THE CLAMSHELL VISORS SODA BLASTED WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING PAINTED. BUT MADE THE MISTAKE OF USING A PAINT PEN
TO REFINISH THEM. AFTER A FEW WASHES MOST OF THE PAINT WASHED OFF. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PHOTOS.
ITEMS THAT WILL NEED ATTENTION.
THE HEADLAMP MOTOR HAS BEEN PULLED & NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR CONVERTED TO NEWER STYLE MOTORS TO OPEN THE HEADLAMP
DOORS. (There is a guy here on eBay that rebuilds them for $275. I've also heard some people claim to get them
rebuilt for under $150.) THE CLAMSHELLS OPEN & CLOSE MANUALLY VERY EASILY.
THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT CANCEL. SO YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY CANCEL IT.
THE POWER DRIVER SEAT STOPPED WORKING EARLIER THIS YEAR.
ALL 4 POWER WINDOW MOTORS WORK. BUT THE RIGHT REAR NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED. SEEMS TO HAVE GONE OFF TRACK. BUT IS
SITTING IN THE CLOSED POSITION WITH NO ISSUE.
THE A/C COMPRESSOR & CONDENSER WERE REMOVED. BUT WILL BE INCLUED IN THE SALE. I KEPT THE COMPRESSOR OFF BECAUSE IT
BLOCKED THE VIEW OF THE RIGHT VALVE COVER. I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS BETTER WITHOUT IT.
ORIGINAL RADIO WORKS BUT NEEDS NEW SPEAKERS. I PLANNED TO UPDATE THE AUDIO SYSTEM BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. SO
THAT WILL BE LEFT UP TO THE NEW OWNER.
YES, THIS CAR COULD USE A FEW THINGS. BUT NOTHING THAT TAKES AWAY FROM IT'S BEAUTY. IT'S A GREAT CAR THAT YOU CAN
GET IN & DRIVE TO LOCAL CRUISE NIGHTS PROUDLY. I BELIEVE THAT THE NEXT OWNER WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THIS CAR.
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT WITH A MINOR ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT. IT WOULD BE A $35K-$40K CAR. THE ONLY REASON I
HAVEN'T COMPLETELY FINSHED EVERYTHING. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SO AT THIS TIME. WHICH IS THE SAME REASON I
HAVE THE CAR FOR SALE

Meet the Buick Velite 7, the Chevy Bolt's Chinese cousin
Wed, Jun 17 2020The Buick Velite 7 has officially been revealed after having been leaked and spied a few months ago. The name derives from Buick's line of electrified models it sells in China, of course the design shows it's most closely related to the Chevy Bolt EV. Buick hasn't revealed many details about it, and only one photo, but we do get to see it and we also have a range estimate. The range estimate is 500 kilometers on the NEDC cycle, which translates to 311 miles. That's actually less than the NEDC estimate for the Bolt EV, which is 565 kilometers or 351 miles, which increased for the 2020 model year from 520 kilometers or 323 miles. Of course NEDC figures tend to be much higher than EPA numbers, which rated the current Bolt EV at 259 miles and the previous version at 238. As such, we would expect this Buick to have an EPA range closer to 210 to 220 miles. We don't know what resulted in the lower range, but it could have something to do with additional weight or slightly worse aerodynamics. It could be both. Design-wise, the Buick is clearly based on the Bolt, but has a more aggressive front bumper and a trendy partially floating roof. It also seems to have a slightly boxier, taller profile, mainly because of the nose. Buick hasn't released any other details about the crossover, preferring to save them for the car's launch later this year. Since it seems so closely related to the Bolt, it probably has the same drivetrain: a single electric motor sending 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission.

Refreshed 2019 Buick Envision gets sharper edges, optional nine-speed transmission
Fri, Feb 23 2018After 18 months on the market in the United States, the Buick Envision took its place as the third-best-selling vehicle among Buick's eight models, slotting in behind the Encore and Enclave. January sales this year jumped 13.7-percent year-over-year, just a few hundred behind the Enclave. Now, the Chinese-made compact SUV gets a modest makeover, but buyers of the 2019 Buick Envision will need to reach up into the upper trims to access the best of what's new. The big mechanical upgrade comes with the option of GM's Hydra-Matic 9T50 nine-speed automatic instead of standard the six-speed. However, that appears to be limited to just two of the five available Envision trims: Premium I and Premium II. The base, Preferred, and Essence models stick with the six-speed only. Design changes center around the front and rear fascias. The grille motif switches to a be-winged Buick emblem - in tri-color spec, not monochrome - over the previous waterfall, matching that of the sibling crossovers. The lower front fascia gets redrawn, with the fog lights at the edges now sitting in square recesses with reworked chrome trim and sharper edges on the bumper. Premium trims move up from HID projectors to bi-LED headlights, while the other three trims shed their composite halogens for HID lights. According to the 2019 order guide, Ebony seats with Dark Plum interior accents leave the menu, replaced by Dark Galvanized leather seats with Ebony trim. White interior lighting will illuminate the instrument panel and door trim, replacing Ice Blue, and comfort/convenience tweaks come in the form of wireless phone charging, an cabin air ionizer and a button to shut off the stop-start system. The latter would be a noteworthy upgrade as it's been a common complaint logged against so-equipped GM vehicles. In back, design elements get sharper edges, and the taillights switch to slimmer LED units. Designers have hidden the single exhaust outlet on the lower three trims with the base, 197-horsepower 2.5-liter engine. It appears that choosing the optional, 252-hp 2.0-liter engine will be identified by dual rectangular exhaust finishers instead of the round tips of previous years. Exterior colors hold steady at six, but Midnight Amethyst Metallic gives way to Satin Steel Gray Metallic, and the current 19-inch wheels get replaced with two new designs. The 2019 Buick Envision has already gone on sale in China, and should reach U.S. dealers in April. Related Video:
