For sale is a very original 1969 Buick Gran Sport.  This is a very nice driver that looks, drives, and shows very well.  The car is painted black and has a red pinstripe down the side along with a vinyl top.  The paint is not perfect, it has a few little chips and light scratches here and there, but nothing major.  The body of the car is in great shape with no rust and no bad body work.  The floorboards and trunk pans are also solid with no rust.  Most of the chrome on the car is original with the exception of new 350 hood emblems, new GS quarter panel emblems, new GS grill emblem, new GS trunk emblem, and new drip rail molding.  The wheels are the optional chrome Buick "Super Sport" wheels that have new B.F. Goodrich redline radials mounted on them.  The sidewalls of the tires have been shaved giving the sidewall a nice smooth finish.  The combination of the chrome Buick wheels and the redline radials make for a very nice addition to the car.  The interior of the car is original and is in good shape.  It has the optional rallye steering wheel and the optional floor console with the horseshoe shifter.  The front and rear seats have no snags or tears and the carpet and door panels are in good shape.  The dash has the original radio and original heater/AC controls.  The headliner in the car needs a little attention at the sail panels.  It is nothing major, just a matter of tightening it up a little.  Under the hood is the original Wildcat 350-4 that has recently rebuilt.  It has been bored .030 over, has a T/A 212 cam, new Accell ignition coil, and a Pertronix electronic distributor conversion kit.  The cam specs are 218/230 duration, .459/.470 lift, and a 112 lobe center.  The motor has 9.5:1 compression, the stock intake, stock exhaust with turbo mufflers, stock heads with hardened seats, and a rebuilt and jetted Q-Jet carb.  The transmission is the original Turbo 350 that has a fresh complete rebuild.  It has a 2200-2400 stall converter with a mild shift kit.  It has an open differential with 3.23 gears.  This is a very nice, driver quality car.  It is a fun car to drive to cruise-ins and gets a lot of attention where ever I take it.  The car is being sold as is and the buyer is responsible for pick up.  I can email more pictures of the car if interested.  My home phone is 540-943-4234 and cell is 540-241-9937.

Buick Century attracts 15,000 bees searching for new hive

Thu, Apr 1 2021

By most accounts, the fifth-generation Buick Century isn't considered a desirable place to live. For a swarm of 15,000 bees, however, the lure of the front-drive A-body proved irresistible, much to the chagrin of the car's Las Cruces, N.M. owner. The unidentified man had gone shopping in an Albertson's grocery store, returned to his car, placed his purchases in the car, and began driving away. Then he noticed that something was, according to the New York Times, "amiss." The Buick owner called 911, which dispatched the Las Cruces Fire Department to the scene. Luckily, one firefighter and paramedic in the brigade, Jesse Johnson, is a hobbyist beekeeper. Though he was off duty at the time, Johnson sprung into action and arrived at the Buick with equipment to transfer the bees safely, including an empty hive box, a beekeeper's outfit and lemongrass oil, which mimics the scent of the queen. Johnson told the Times that bee colonies will often split in springtime, with a swarm following a queen to search for a new home. Apparently, the partially open window of a 1982-96 Buick Century looked like an inviting, perhaps temporary, location as the bees relocated. Johnson removed 3.5 pounds' worth of bees in a span of less than a half hour. He is rehabitating the bees at his home, where he maintains other hives. “IÂ’ll do anything to keep people from killing the bees,” Johnson told the Times. He also explained that when bees swarm like this, they are typically pretty docile. Amazingly, the Buick owner was only in the store for 10 minutes, the paper reports. Johnson believes the bees came from a nearby neighborhood. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident. One Albertson's security guard was stung, according to the Las Cruces Fire Department, and another firefighter was stung on the lip. For the record, the Las Cruces Fire Department says they don't routinely handle bees. It was just fortunate that Johnson was around. It's not clear if the bees would have flocked to a similar era Chevy Celebrity or Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Related Video:

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
