I have had this car since 1993. It is a beautiful Blue and White cruiser that I have enjoyed for many years. This car was originally gold and white painted top, with a white interior. When I first purchased the car it had a power bench seat, tilt wheel, A/C, power steering, power drum brakes, remote driver's mirror and AM radio. The original engine was the 340 four barrel with two speed automatic. I have changed the car more to my liking, but kept it all Buick. The interior is now Bucket seats with console and floor shifter. I installed a four speaker AM/FM cass radio with the Buick name on the front and had the interior reupholstered in the original off white color. The front suspension was rebuilt in the 90's and has heavy duty station wagon springs with a Trans Am sway bar. The shocks are new gas units by KYB. I installed the classic Buick rally wheels (15 X 7) with BFG TA radials 235 60s (5K miles). The engine is a 71' Buick 455, bored .030 over. It was built by Valley Balancing, Ceres, Ca. and has a TA Cam (Stage 1 Type), ARP fasteners throughout and small combustion 430 heads with hardened valve seats. Compression is 9:1. They also opened up the oil passages and installed a high pressure oil pump. The 455 has a 750 cfm Quadrajet carburetor, stock exhaust manifolds and dual 2.25" exhaust. The engine sounds great and runs out strong. There is a little overheating problem at this time and I hope to have it fixed. The transmission is from a 67' GS400. It is the SP400 which is a TH400 with a switch pitch torque converter, rebuilt at Edco Trans in Fairfield, with a mild shift kit. The engine and transmission have less than 1K miles. The drive shaft is balanced with new heavy duty U-joints. The bumpers were chromed and the paint was done in 2000. The paint needs a little fixing as over the years it has some scratches and peeling as shone in the pictures.
I love driving this car. I get compliments all the time. So will you. Thank you for looking and good luck bidding.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European 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.
GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
