Beautiful 1983 Riviera Convertible - Rare paint color on a rare car - Very nice condition and ready to drive anywhere

Firemist Red paint - This car was available in White or Red - this is the rarer Red. Out of approximately 1500 '83s, only about 300 were red. High Quality respray in 2007
Very Nice Red Interior - original dash, carpets, mats and door panels. Seats were reupholstered when the car was painted in 2007
New white Top in 2007
43,000 miles showing on odometer - This was represented to me as original mileage when I purchased it last year and it the condition is representative of such a low mile car
I replaced the original cooling hoses, ignition parts, plugs, etc and overhauled the carburetor and it had never been apart - all the items were factory.
Many new items in the last year, including:
Carb overhaul, plugs, wires, cap and rotor
All fluids and filters, including transmission.
new engine and transmission mounts
Replaced factory original single exhaust with custom magnaflow exhaust with dual outlets and hi flow cat
A/C charged and converted to R134
New hydraulic lines for convertible top

** I forgot to add - I replaced the rear bumper fillers since I last listed so they are now perfect!

This car is being sold to finance college expenses, so it really needs to go. I will sell for any reasonable offer and am willing to sacrifice. I have invested $2000 since purchase last year to make it the best Riviera on the market!

By the way, this is the third listing - both previous "buyers" flaked out, so if you want it, bid on it, if you are just playing around on Ebay, please bid on someone else's car. I have a deposit requirement and if it is not met, I will relist immediately this go-round and report as a non-paying bidder.

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 recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
