1965 Buick Rivera Gran Sport 425/465 Super Wildcat - Dual Quad Matt Garrett - Dallas Texas - 214-878-3823 1965 Buick Riviera GS! 1965 Buick Rivera Gran Sport, Flame Red/Black. 465 Super Wildcat 10:25:1 Dual Quad Engine, Super Turbine 400 Transmission with Variable Pitch Converter and 3:42 Posi Track Rear end, Al-Fin Brakes. One of 3354 Grand Sport Rivieras built. Fully optioned with AC, Cruise, Tilt Wood Wheel, Power Antenna, AM/FM, chrome 15" rally wheels, rare black vinyl top, upgrade cloth interior....and riding on 1965 Original Goodyear Bias Polyglass 8.4x15 tri-band tires!! One of the finest Bill Mitchell designs, if not the single finest. A pinnacle car from a pinnacle era. The Riv of 63-65 platform was shared by no other GM car and 65 is considered the best Buick Riviera of all times. Then add the rare GS option with the Dual Quad engine.... you got the best of the best and the most rare of the rare. This rare and authentic Riv GS was added to the collection in 5/2012. Prior to GM-Classics, it was in a single owner's hands for over 30 years. Larry is a well known lifetime Buick enthusiast in that circle and this car holds many awards and titles under his care. It took many years for Larry and I to reach an agreement to where he would part with this gem. This Riv also has had a lot of exposure in publications over its life, a few are shown here. This is probably the single most noted and awarded 65 Riv GS in the world. General Motor's themselves has a 65 GS Riv in their Heritage Collection.... It is nothing like this car by any comparison, so even the General does not have a GS this nice in captivity. What is nice about his car... it is NOT a restoration!!!! It has had a comprehensive cosmetic refinish on the exterior in terms of paint alone (almost 30 years ago), but nothing major has been torn apart on this car and the car has never experienced any "neglect" in its life that would allow it to be left for a better day. The vinyl top is its day one original, the interior down to the carpet is original an not tampered with either. The car has a light level of patina to it, but given the fact of its age, it crosses the line of being nicer than it should be for original. The motor has NOT been out of the car or taken apart and certainly the body has never been off the frame, etc. The car has 60K authentic, well kept... and yes most important, collector owned garaged miles. Under the hood has had a comprehensive detail and the carbs were rebuilt. The exhaust system is a FACTORY NOS entire system that was put on in the 80s. and is still like new! Car is riding on original day 1 Delco Shocks, al\though you will see I have a new set of era correct Delco Pleasurizers for it too that will go on it in my hands. This car has been a noted show car for 30 years... Prior to that it was garaged in the hands of another Buick owner and kept perfect too. His name is still on the dash. Its history is stellar in terms of cars of this era. Every aspect of this car functions to new spec still today. The Riviera GS is a muscle car that crosses boundaries from a very capable street fighter to a high end luxury car. Because of that, and because it cost more than just about any other muscle car of the era makes for the possibility for one like this to exist in original form. Something this expensive was less likely have the standard issue muscle car abuse and neglect program given to GTOs, camaros, etc... then slapped back together then called original today. If you could buy one of these new, you probably had a nice home and garage to park it in making it more of an adult muscle car that could survive honestly! This is one of the most honest muscle cars I have ever encountered.. and I would own a ton of other model muscle cars...... if I actually found an honest one. I just see through too much when it comes to cars... and this one has enough depth that I cannot see through. It is easier for me to find these low mile rare brand new Cadillacs that are 30-50 years old vs a truly honest and well cared for muscle car. This is one of the few.
CLICK ANY PHOTO FOR AN EXTREME BLOW UP! A true Bill Mitchell Masterpiece One of the best looking front ends ever done. A Mitchell Masterpiece... Buick photo of THIS car for Calendar. Buick photo of THIS car for Calendar. Magazine articles, late 80s, early 90s.... THIS car.
Meadowbrook in the 90s, 1st place... entire show. Actual miles. Shot of original Rallys and original tri-band Polyglass tires AC and Heat.... and AC is R12 and works to spec in all modes (as does heat).. and the compressor is the ORIGINAL. Perfect clamshells and grille. The open and close like new. The "R" hood ornamant Yes these are 65 date coded tires from this car as new. "Custom Made" for 1st owner plaque put on when new. The "gran sport" glove box cover. Incredible No teen activity in this one. Again, every aspect of the interior is original and as nice as you will ever see. All 4 day 1 T3 headlamps in the car. Spare is 5th original tri-band goodyear polyglass tire on Buick rally Jack never used... really... Warranty/Protecto Plate. Original owner from 65-71. 2nd owner from 71 until I got it. Zoom in on any photo... This should speak volumes. Dash chrome, controls, gauges, radio, wheel and all like a 1 year old car. This is not a typical "nice old car'... It is one of the best if not the best original 65 Rivs. The famous Buick Nailhead Wildcat Dual Quad Gran Sport Engine. 425 CID. Trim Tag, Cruise, Booster/master and WW bottle. . Under hood is very original, engine/trans never out of this car. Perfect original headliner and visors. Really neat cloth/brocade seats. Talk about a time capsule This interior is that . The carpet is day 1 original and like new as the whole thing. Antenna up. This is a 5 ft antenna extended. They wanted it to be a lightning rod I guess. Antenna Down..... Why did they not make it go into the fender????? Pointless design.... Rear arm rest, center speaker. NOS Delco shocks from the 60s/70s. Car still on original shocks. Above, a vintage FL photo of a Riv. Not this car as its never been there, just a neat photo. |

2017 Buick LaCrosse priced at $32,990
Mon, May 16 2016Buick has announced the starting price for its totally redesigned LaCrosse sedan, and it's looking competitive. According to the company's consumer website, the base trim will start at $32,990, while the vehicle featured on the page is helpfully listed as "As Shown: $45,560." Buick is being coy about the standard equipment list, but we do know a few traditionally higher-end options will be free of charge, including an eight-inch touchscreen that's compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and HID headlamps. General Motors' 4G LTE wifi is a no-cost feature (although you'll need to shell out for a data plan, eventually). The optional extras list, which will include goodies like adaptive cruise control, hasn't been published yet. Underhood, all LaCrosse models will get eight-speed automatic transmissions paired with 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engines. The new powertrain, plucked from the Cadillac XT5, has stop-start and cylinder deactivation as standard to save fuel, although it's still too early to predict where the LaCrosse will fall on the EPA scale. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive will be available for a unknown premium. Buick says the sedan's reasonable starting price backs the company's "position of attainable luxury." And that's true. At $32,990 the LaCrosse is $560 less than the $33,550 base Toyota Avalon, $355 less than the $33,345 Nissan Maxima S, and $850 less than the $33,840 Kia Cadenza. Only the antiquated Ford Taurus, at $27,985, can undercut it. On the opposite end, the LaCrosse is $6,945 less than a front-drive Lincoln MKS and $6,060 less than a Lexus ES. Starting prices are useful tools for comparison but they only go so far – we'll have to wait until next month, when full details are released, to see how truly reasonable the LaCrosse's price is.
Buick Encore production increased to lift supply by 50%
Wed, Feb 4 2015Trying to zero in on the Buick Encore leads us to the conclusion that the only place it really fits is in buyers' driveways. Every member of its so-called competitive set – we've read everything from the Ford C-Max to the Nissan Juke to the Volkswagen Tiguan to the BMW X1 – is so different in small yet fundamental ways that the Encore neatly slinks between them all, and with 48,892 sales in 2014, it doesn't stop slinking until it reaches consumer garages. That success, and preparation for the aggrandizing of the compact CUV segment, is why General Motors is upping production for the US market by 50 percent. Analysts keep predicting there will be more shoppers for tiny crossovers, and that's why those that don't have them are getting them. Yet the Encore came out in 2013 before people realized the power of the segment, and it has substantially out-performed GM and observer expectations: analysts predicted 18,500 US sales in 2013 and 25,000 in 2015; in 2013 we wrote, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." It shook out 31,046 sales in 2013, puffing that number up by more than 50 percent last year. GM thinks that this year it will it will go from Buick's third-best-selling vehicle to its best-selling vehicle. GM wants that to continue, what with the Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade, and Mazda CX-3 on the way. Dealers say they'd sell more if they could get them, and the four-month lead time at the moment between a dealer ordering and taking delivery – about double the normal time – creates a handicap. Plants in Mexico, Korea, and Spain will hive off production to bolster US inventory to keep the "downsizing empty nesters" who love it, happy. Seeing as the coming competition is falls meaningfully outside the Buick's combination of traits, there's a chance its popular tale can continue.
Facelifted Buick LaCrosse caught in China
Tue, 01 Jan 2013Back in September, General Motors promised nine new or refreshed models for its Buick and GMC brands within 12 months, and while we've already seen what the updated 2014 GMC Sierra will look like, we're now getting our first look at what appears to be the facelifted 2014 Buick LaCrosse. Judging by a set of spy shots posted on Autohome showing a Chinese-market model, the updated sedan is getting a pretty big makeover, including a completely redesigned interior and a refreshed exterior.
From the outside, all of the usual midcycle updates have been made to the LaCrosse, including new lights and fascias. The new front end features a larger, reshaped seven-sided grille, LED-trimmed headlights and Buick's signature portholes are now mounted on the side edges of the hood to be more visible. The rear view has similarly small yet refined changes such as the new decklid with a chrome brow that stretches the full width of the car, to a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed out to the corners. From the single shot we can see, the LaCrosse's new rump looks very similar to the Hyundai Equus.
The second-generation LaCrosse helped reestablish Buick as a near-premium automaker with its interior quality, and the next model could very well up the stakes even more. The new cabin design ditches the wraparound wood trim on the instrument panel and door panels for a smoother, more contemporary look. While it's hard to make out all of the changes, we can instantly see that the center stack is now more upright with fewer buttons, but the biggest news might be the cabin technology the 2014 LaCrosse might offer. Checking out the shot of the center console, we see what looks to be a pad similar to the handwriting recognition technology used by Audi, which would make this a first for GM.
