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 |

2018 Buick Regal GS : The 310-hp American hot hatch
Wed, Jul 19 2017Buick has spent the last decade shredding its perception as the low-level luxury vehicle for geriatrics, but the brand hasn't always been associated with that crowd. In fact, ask some enthusiasts and you'll hear about the GM 3800 series engines, IndyCar racing, and the mythical GS and GNX. In that high-octane theme, GM pulled back the curtain on the all-new, all-wheel drive, 310-horsepower 2018 Buick Regal GS Wednesday morning in Milford, MI. The GS is basically a sport-tuned version of the all-new Buick Regal. We've seen the standard and high-riding wagon variants, but this is our first look at what's likely to be the enthusiast pick. The Regal GS uses the five-door sportback bodystyle from the standard car (though a GS version of the TourX would be awesome), swiped from GM's soon-to-be former German division, Opel. While a number of automakers are downsizing engines, Buick is soldiering on with its tried and true naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, in this guise making 310 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic. The all-wheel drive system uses a twin-clutch setup and has been tuned specifically for the GS. The Regal GS makes more power than both the Acura TLX A-Spec (290 horsepower) and the Lexus IS350 F-Sport (306 horsepower). The V6 features both cylinder deactivation and auto stop/start for better fuel economy. The fully independent suspension uses the second-gen Continuous Damping Control (CDC), capable of 500 adjustments per second. Selectable modes allow the driver to tailor the car to fit the situation. Large Brembo front brakes are surrounded by standard 19-inch wheels and tires. The exterior gets a few styling changes like a sporty front and rear fascias, a small rear spoiler, and plenty of GS badges. Inside, the Regal GS gets unique sport seats with integrated headrests and adjustable lumbar and thigh bolsters. They even come standard with heating, ventilation, and massaging functions. The driver faces a GS badged flat-bottom steering wheel and GS-specific pedals. A full-color heads-up display is optional. Available safety features include front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warnings, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. The real key for the success of the Regal GS could be pricing.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The 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.

Question of the Day: Coolest factory-supercharged car?
Thu, Apr 28 2016Last week, we discussed possible engine-swap recipients for the plentiful-in-every-junkyard Eaton-supercharged GM 3800 V6 engine. The Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs that came with that engine from the factory were reasonably cool, of course, but when you look at all the production cars that have been available with supercharging over the decades you can find some pretty amazing stuff. My personal favorite has to be the Paxton-blown Studebaker Larks of the early 1960s, partly because the Lark was just about the stodgiest-looking, sleepiest little sedan available in America, possibly the most ridiculous recipient of a howling force-fed V8 imaginable, and partly because of the name of the optional supercharged 289-cubic-inch V8 you could get in the Lark: Jet-Thrust! What do you say is the coolest factory-supercharged car of all time? Related Video: Auto News Buick Automotive History Performance Classics supercharger questions
