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.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

It looks like Buick is working on a new Regal GS

Mon, Jun 5 2017

When Buick revealed its Regal-badged version of the Opel Insignia/Holden Commodore sedan and wagon, it left out one significant model, the GS. The high-performance Regal was missing in action, but these new spy photos seem to indicate one is coming soon. It looks like it will be pretty subtle on the outside. Upon close examination, we can see that each side of the front bumper features a much larger grille than the normal Regal Sportback and TourX. The thick upper borders on the grilles also look like good places for some LED accent or fog lights. These larger grilles appear to be the only significant difference to the front, though. On the sides, there are slightly deeper side skirts than those on a standard Sportback, and the rear bumper looks to be lifted from the TourX, but without the wagon's aluminum cladding. One other indication that this is a high-performance Regal is the car's front braking equipment. We can make out a Cadillac logo on the front brake calipers, which shows that this isn't running standard Regal stoppers. As for what's under the hood, it's tough to say, but we don't think it will use a turbocharged four-cylinder as the previous generation did. Instead, we think it may be using a V6. That's a hard maybe. The base Regal's turbo four makes as much power as the old GS, and although Buick could crank up the boost for more power, it could also make use of the V6 it will offer overseas. In the mechanically identical Commodore, a 308-horsepower V6 will be available along with a 9-speed automatic and the same type of all-wheel-drive system as the Ford Focus RS. This option would make the upcoming GS more powerful than the old one, and the new standard model, plus offer all-wheel drive. We would like to see even more power than 308, since the top-dog previous-generation Insignia OPC had a 325-horsepower V6.
