Heart wrenching to sell, but here it is. This is a rapid and incomplete posting, but I wanted to get it posted 

and I will come back and add details as I think of them and as I dig out receipts and documentation, and I do have

everything. I bought this around '95 with fresh paint and some other stuff. I had the bottom and top machined /

gone through (rings, brngs, etc.) and added a hot cam, street strip heads, dual valve springs, lifters, valves, heat

restrictor blockoff plates, high flow water and oil pumps, double roller timing chain and gears, stainless headers,

mini starter and adapter, stainless mufflers and dual exhaust that kicks out in front of the axle, monster sway bars

 front and rear, new springs all around, carb, 4 core radiator, and other stuff I'm sure, but again I'm digging out

info and will update as I can.

 

Now the bad. While breaking in the motor I spun a bearing (I suspect) and after all that time and money I was

so disgusted I just parked it. So there it sat for years and here it is. There are paint issues, some minor body /

rust issues, you will need a new top and to service the electric / hyd. system for the top, and of course open

up the engine. The seats look pretty nice  but the upholstery is brittle and will crack. Steering wheel is cracked 

probably beyond repair, but it still works. 

 

The good news is that the car was running when I parked it, the body is basically solid i.e. the doors / trunk, and hood

 shut with that nice solid "chunk" sound, the tires are in remarkably good shape, and it's been in Arizona since '99.

 

Standard e-bay stuff - this is an auction, no warranty, payment accepted through pay-pal only, etc. etc. I am happy to

entertain reasonable requests for information or additional pictures for specific things, but I will not make a career

out of answering stupid questions. I'm very honest in my postings and it is not in my interest to misrepresent anything.

 

This car was bad-ass even before the engine mods and stopped traffic everywhere. Some TLC and you will not be

disappointed. Thanks for looking.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.

38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
