1973 Buick Riviera Green Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
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 Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards
Tue, Dec 5 2017DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:
