Car was always in central Ca and rust free . Yes , it's a custom car with around 1000 miles on everything new or rebuilt . Started life as a nicely optioned Sport Wagon Gold ext with saddle int , 300 ci engine with 300 SP transmission . Idea was to build as if they would have built a late 65 GS Wagon from factory . Now has a built 401 with many upgrades such as Poston HN 400 cam , Rare one year only 66 Q jet intake / later Q jet 800 cfm carb , high volume water pump , Faso Oil pump and pick up , ported heads , stainless valves , adjustable push rods , petronix electronic ignition , later chrome alt , chrome valve covers and valley pan etc .

Removed ( welded holes ) wide 64 Style side moldings and trim around door glass for more sporty / GS look . Gives it more of a hardtop look . I liked the side moldings removed so I pin striped plus found rare set of wheel opening moldings which I had restored / polished and installed . Has new GS emblems completing the GS look . All chrome replated , new lenses , stainless polished etc . All new interior with 66 GS front seat with folding armrest and I made brackets so seat will go way back for someone over 6 foot , mild custom interior and completely Dynomatted for sound deader even doors . Not pitting to chrome anywhere and restored dash pad . I added a 70 GS steering wheel I just like the look better . I could go on and on about car but best thing is to see in person . Car is 99.9 % done ( needs AC charged ) and high quaility . I don't use AC so I'd never charge it . Car is just as clean underneath as on top . You couldn't build this car for double my price and then you'd have to find a rust free one to start with which is close to impossible . Car comes with a lot of extra rare parts worth around a couple grand I'd guess . I'll have pics of under carriage by thursday and have a lot of other pics if you email me . Feel free to call or email with questions . If you'd like to have car inspected or come in person I'd gladly drive car to airport and pick you up . Thanks , Mike 831-726-7270

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality 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.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.
