Up for sale is my 73 Riviera with 53,000 miles. The previous owner rebuilt the 455.4 engine, who at the time owned a local speed shop. I threw in some upgrades after 1 bought the car such as, Kenne bell aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, Hoolley 800cfm. carburator, Mallory unilite ignition, MSD.

Coil + Wires and Holley rechargeable air filter. The car also had timing chain and sprocket replaced. The transmission was also completely rebuilt back in 2006 and shifts smooth and has plenty of torque (373-rear end gears installed) at time of rebuild.

All of the brake system was replaced except for the power booster, this heavy machine stops better than some new cars 1 have driven . The exterior which is very clean and straight was originally willow mist green, I had the car repainted with a DuPont 2 tone irodecent green gold paint that really pops and always turned heads, (jambs not painted) The interior has bucket seats with shifter on the floor.

The back seat has a small tear as does the passenger door armrest, the dashboard has a crack in it but I have a spare, overall very clear for just about 40 years old. There are a few things to list that I never got around to fixing.

1. the car has factory A/C - not working

2. cruise control not working

3. smart- track option not working

4. the car had the factory moon roof (extremely rare) installed which probably only needed new tracks, but the last owner decided to install a new vinyl top and headliner instead of fixing it (what a DUMBASS). Also being that this is an east coast car the trunk pad has some rust that I wanted to replace, trunk has no spare being it was wired for sound system.

Overall this is a clean strong running Bobtail that has been garage kept since I bought it and only driven in good weather, I put about 12,000 miles on the car since engine and transmission were done.

You can turn key and drive it away no problem. I have a bunch of spare parts to go with the car including original intake, all the glass except for front windshield, a bunch of trim pieces, dashboard, and a trunk lid.

I have described this car the best I can, if you have any questions please ask, thanks and good luck.... Tommy; 239-384-0229

2013 Buick Encore

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
