1965 BUICK RIVIERA. 401ci ENGINE WITH CORRECT DUAL QUAD SET UP & POSI TRACTION. RUNS STRONG & DRIVES GREAT!

THIS IS A SUPER CLEAN, STRAIGHT & SOLID CAR. NOT A MUSEUM CAR. BUT A VERY NICE DRIVER.

THE BODY: VERY SOLID & STRAIGHT! THE CAR HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED ONCE. THE PAINT SHOWS VERY WELL! IT WAS A QUALITY PAINT JOB. THERE IS A SCRATCH IN THE RIGHT FENDER. ALSO A PAINT CHIP ON THE DECK LID THAT HAS BEEN TOUCH UP (shown in photos). IT ALSO HAS A COUPLE OF STONE CHIPS HERE & THERE. I'M NIT PICKING. BUT DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES FOR THE BUYER. ALL IN ALL THE BODY & PAINT SHOW VERY WELL!

THE ENGINE & TRANS: 401ci WITH THE CORRECT FACTORY DUAL QUAD SET UP AS ON THE GRAN SPORT MODELS. IT ALSO HAS THE ALUMINUM BUICK VALVE COVERS. I WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN REBUILT IN THE LATE 90's WHEN IT HAD JUST UNDER 100k MILES. BUT I DIDN'T GET ANY RECEIPTS TO PROVE THAT. THE DUAL QUADS WERE PUT ON LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE ORIGINAL MANIFOLD, CARB & AIR CLEANER WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THE CAR RUNS GREAT! NO SMOKE OR NOISE (IT DOES HAVE A MINOR OIL DRIP FROM OIL PAN GASKET).  I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THE TURBO 400 TRANS WAS REBUILT WITH THE ENGINE. THAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE. IT HAS A SHIFT KIT. YOU CAN FEEL IT WHEN YOU JUMP ON IT. IT'S VERY RESPONSIVE! THE NEWER FLOW MASTER EXHAUST SOUNDS GREAT! THE CAR HAS A TON OF POWER & SOUNDS LIKE IT!!

THE FLOORS & FRAME ARE SOLID. THE TRUNK PAN DOES HAVE A SMALL PATCH ON EACH SIDE BY THE WHEEL WELLS(see pics). I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TRUNK MATTING & SPARE ROAD WHEEL(THEY WERE REMOVED FOR THE PHOTOS). THE REAR SHOCKS & SPRINGS COULD USE REPLACING. A NEW SET OF SHOCKS & SPRINGS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE.

THE INTERIOR: SEATS & DASH PAD ARE ORIGINAL & IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. HEADLINER HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A VINYL ONE. I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL STYLE. CARPET IS SHOWING IT'S AGE(THERE IS A SMALL HOLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE). WOODGRAIN INSERTS ON THE CONSOLE ARE ALSO SHOWING THEIR AGE.

TIRES HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD LIFE. ROAD WHEELS ARE VERY NICE DRIVER QUALITY. A COUPLE OF THE EMBLEMS ON THE CENTER CAPS COULD USE REPLACING.

CHROME IS VERY NICE DRIVER QUALITY. SOME MINOR FADING IN SPOTS ON THE REAR BUMPER.

ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS WORK. POWER ANTENNA WORKS. POWER SEAT WORKS. BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE A/C & HEAT DOES NOT. NOT SURE WHY. I NEVER LOOKED INTO IT.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST... THE CLAM SHELL HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE NOT WORKING. THE LINKAGE & MOTOR HAD BEEN PULLED. A GOOD USED MOTOR & LINKAGE WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE.

TO SUM THINGS UP. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL & VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. STARTS WITH EASE. IDLES NICELY. HAS A TON OF POWER. IT'S A GREAT DRIVER YOU'LL BE PROUD TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. IT JUST NEEDS A FEW MINOR THINGS TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

I'VE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THIS BEAUTY TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. BUT IT'S POSSIBLE I MAY HAVE LEFT SOMETHING OUT. SO SERIOUS BUYERS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS. I'M OPEN TO REASONABLE OFFERS. MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE TO SERIOUS BUYERS.

Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.

2018 Buick Enclave: How engineers made it larger, lighter, more sophisticated

Wed, Apr 12 2017

Buick used the unveiling of the 2018 Enclave at the New York Auto Show to introduce its new range-topping Avenir sub-brand to the world. With fancier interior finishes and exterior details, it's Buick's latest effort to make itself a proper luxury brand (or perhaps re-establish itself as such). However, lost in the Avenir song and dance is the fact that the 2018 Buick Enclave is a (very) long-awaited all-new model regardless of the trim level one selects. Like the Chevrolet Traverse upon which it is based, the new Enclave is bigger than the vehicle it replaces but considerably lighter, by about 400 pounds. "We told every engineer, 'get your job done, but then take the weight out,'" said engineer Rick Spina as we hovered next to his larger yet lighter creation. His team therefore set about taking a little bit of weight out from just about everywhere, from using additional aluminum in the suspension to varying the thickness of the frame (thicker in places that needed to be stronger, thinner and therefore lighter in places that didn't). Only about 100 pounds came out of the body with the rest coming from elsewhere. Not only will the reduced weight improve fuel economy (Buick-estimated at 19 mpg combined with FWD versus 18 for the 2017 model) and presumably the old Enclave's rather ponderous handling, but it should only make things easier for the new powertrain: General Motors' now-familiar 3.6-liter V6 and its latest nine-speed automatic. With 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, Buick says the new engine will need 7.2 seconds to reach 60 mph with FWD or 7.5 seconds with AWD. That's a second quicker than before. Besides acceleration, towing is also bumped up by 500 pounds to 5,000. For those models with all-wheel drive, the Enclave has the same basic system featured on range-topping versions of the Buick LaCrosse. Besides power being sent front and rear, it can also differ from right to left in the back, although Spina is quick to point out that capability is for traction-enhancing purposes rather than sporty, handling-enhancing torque-vectoring ones. Buick owners already appreciated the Enclave for its quietness so the engineers decided to take it that much further. This included altering the exhaust, improving body sealing (there are triple door seals), including active sound deadening and utilizing advanced materials that absorb sound as opposed to simply being thick, dense and heavy enough to keep it out.

March Madness upsets good for auto advertisers

Mon, Mar 23 2015

There are no Cinderella teams left in the NCAA men's basketball tournament - the fairytales ended with Georgia State's loss to Xavier over the weekend. And even though the Sweet 16 is composed of elite teams - at the time of writing the lowest-ranked squad is 11th-seeded UCLA, which has most championships of any school in the country - there are still underdogs and surprises, and they are good for NCAA business and advertisers. Last year the March Madness Live app, which allows users to watch games on the go, was downloaded 4.5 million times, a jump of more than 40 percent over 2013. Buick sponsors the iOS version of the app, but more than a million of those downloads were for the Android version, sponsored by Infiniti since 2011. Part of Buick's engagement is a "Boss Button" on the livestream sites that can quickly mask the page with something your boss won't question you over. It also sponsors a trick-shot competition for fans, has a display in Bracket Town during the Final Four, and its cars lead the team buses through the city. Infiniti said last year's tourney increased online searches for the brand by 25 percent in March, and things are going even better this year: it's round-by-round bracket game drew 477,859 total entries in 2014, this year's game has signed up 534,350 already and the tournament has another two weeks to go. The luxury brand is all over the event, promoting the QX60 through to the Final Four, then moving its efforts to the Q50. It sponsors the Coaches vs. Cancer charity and will have an Infiniti Lounge near the Final Four venue in downtown Indianapolis. So for the two automakers keeping their own scores... come on, Wichita State! Six brackets, six chances to win a trip to #FinalFour 2016.
