I am selling this running, driving 1970 Riviera at no reserve.  Included with it is a 1970 Riviera GS which is complete except for its engine and transmission.  Both cars have open Tennessee titles.  The car pictured is the primary vehicle.  Green with green vinyl top and either very dark green or black bench seat interior in poor condition.  Absolutely stock and unmolested.  Only slight rust, the worst being in the floors and the fender skirts.  Stock engine with original air cleaner with stickers still attached.  Excellent set of matching bias-ply whitewalls just recently installed.  The chrome wheels from the GS parts car are currently on this car.  Starts right up and runs good.  Moves and stops but I have only driven it up and down the street.  A restoration project but certainly a realistic one.  The only odd thing about it is that it has an electric fuel pump for whatever reason that is turned on and off by a toggle switch which just lays on the floor.   Works great, but not right.  This car has its original owner's manual, pre-delivery sheet, new vehicle warranty booklet, accessory pamphlet, stereo booklet, and Protect-O-Plate.  Sold new out of Bristol, Virginia.  This is a great-looking and rarely seen old car that deserves to be restored.

The parts car is a 1970 Riviera GS that is complete minus engine and transmission.  It has bucket seats, console, tilt wheel, and even an original Buick 8-track tape player.  Has a title.  All glass is good and all trim is there.  Floors are decent.  Paint is nonexistent.  All in one piece - not boxes of parts.  Its chrome wheels are on the green car and the original Riviera hubcaps are on it now.  Has the original posi-traction rear end which I have been offered $500 for by itself but wouldn't take it.

In this deal you get two cars.  The idea is to make a really cool Riviera GS and have a ton of valuable parts left over.  The only things missing are the center caps for the chrome wheels.  I only have one.  Almost everything else is there in duplicate.  The interiors of both cars are weak but salvageable.

The green car is stored inside my garage and has been for several years. The parts car is under cover and out of the weather but obviously has been outside for a long time previously.
  
I do not think you should even consider driving the green car home as it has not been on the road in many years.  The paint looks better in the pictures than it does in person as I had just washed the dust off it and it is still wet in the photos.  The paint is not very good.

These are remarkably styled cars that you just don't see every day.  Great documentation on the green car and titles for both.  Lots of spare parts.  A GS car with all the GS goodies!  I need to move these cars and I will listen to any offer you may have.  I am interested in old motorcycles and will consider any schemes you might have for you to get these Buicks in exchange for an interesting bike or two you might have laying around.  Let me know.  You can reach me by return email or call or text me at 865-387-0925 if you have questions or if you have swapping ideas.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
