1971 Buick Riviera Base Hardtop 2-door 455 V8 on 2040-cars
Gresham, Oregon, United States
1971 Third Generation (1971-1973) "Boat Tail" Riviera 1971 was the first model year of the dramatically redesigned third generation Riviera model. The "Boat Tail" design was inspired by the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray split window coupe. The 1971 Riviera model featured a unique louvered trunk design ("Full-Flo" ventilation system) that was not available on later models. The 455 CID V8 Engine was rated at 335 HP while the car has impressive performance despite it's size and weight. Great driving car for long distance car show enthusiasts. This is a fantastic example of a true survivor car. I purchased this car 2 years ago from it's original owner.Replace the heater core & carpet with a kit,flushed all fluids and replace all filters,transmission fluid and filter,spark plugs,wires,rotor,cap,air filter. The interior is amazingly clean and it still has the original factory installed 8-track radio.Everything works all power windows,horn,key buzzer,int courtesy lights,trunk light, No cracks on the dash or rips on the headliner.very nice vynol top.The car is stock and runs and drives like a new car. The engine is the factory 315hp 455 ci V8. 43,825 original miles I was told. It has a small exhaust leak coming from the right manifold, maybe a doughnut or gasket. The AC system worked a few years ago but needs to be charged now. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10 and the factory paint is a 7 in my opinion.Drivers bottom seat has a split in the seam,rear bumper on passenger side has a little blemish/dent,In front of passenger rear tire theres some bobbling at the bottom. It is very solid and rust free and I showed the car at local shows last summer,but the paint is not perfect. Glass, chrome and rubber are very nice and the pictures don't lie. |

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
GM cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Next Opel Insignia to adopt sleeker looks
Fri, Aug 21 2015The very first set of spy photos of the next-generation Opel Insignia have dropped, giving us a look at the more svelte, aggressive, and stylish look of the popular sedan. As a reminder, the Insignia is sold here in the United States as the Buick Regal. There's only so much we can discern from these photos, thanks to the very heavy camouflage. But we can get a look at the new Audi A7-like roofline, which our spies citing similarities to the Opel Monza concept car from the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Monza link fits with our previous reports, which claimed the gullwinged wagon would serve as a prime source of inspiration for both the Insignia and US-market Regal. Aside from the significantly redesigned sheetmetal, Opel is also increasing the size of its flagship sedan, adding nearly four inches between the axles. According to our spies, the goal is to build a vehicle comparable in size to the Skoda Superb, a roughly Volkswagen Passat-sized sedan based on the VW Group's MQB platform. What's most interesting for US customers, though, is the body style shown here. Like the aforementioned A7, the next Insignia will be offered as a five-door model, rather than a traditional sedan. The five-door hatch would later be joined by a traditional wagon. It's unclear whether the US market Buick will take a similar route, or whether General Motors will demand a four-door variant exclusive to North America. Check out the spy photos above, and keep an eye open for more on the next Insignia/Regal. Don't plan on seeing it at an auto show any time soon, though. It's not slated to debut until the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
