<br />
<p align="left">This 1969 Buick California GS was born on Sept. 9, 1968 in
Fremont CA. It was then sent up to San Francisco to Waters Buick were it found
itself it's first owner. The car stayed in the hands of that owner until the
90's were it was found in a back yard, having been left to the elements by the
original owner. The second owner saw the potential of what the car was and
proceeded to restore it close to original as he could afford. The car had no
rust but it did have a couple of dents, the worst was the passenger quarter
right behind the door and they were addressed without having to replace any
panels. The original engine and transmission were rebuilt and the rest of the
car brought up to driver quality. The current owner lives in Australia, he has
had me working on it for the last year and he wanted the car to be restored to a
higher level but has switched his interests. This is an early car with all the
documentation, cars like this don't come up often so take the opportunity to own
this special car.<p align="left">The engine is the original
 350, it was rebuilt around 1997 and has about 30K miles since gone through.
 It was pulled out, new timing chain, oil pump and water pump installed and
 all new gaskets. It is currently running synthetic oil. The engine was
 detailed with all the correct paint and decals. The carburetor was rebuilt,
 new fuel pump and new foam installed on the ram air openings. It has new points/cap/rotor/wires, the
 distributor was cleaned, new advance unit installed and counterweights lubed. The
 radiator was replaced and a recovery tank was added, the original radiator
 is included with the car. The transmission had
the fluid and filter changed, it was also resealed while the engine was out. The
 differential had new axle seals and pinion seal. All of the belts/hoses are
 new and the heater core was replaced. The brakes are all brand new, all
 hardware, shoes, drums, hoses, master cylinder and front wheel bearings
 (Timken) have been replaced. The exhaust system is a brand new dual setup
 with mild sounding turbo mufflers, basically the way it could've sounded new
 (dual exhaust wasn't an option). The gas tank was taken out to put in a new
 sender, it was cleaned and refinished along with replacing all fuel and vent
 hoses and it has a new cap. The front suspension is all brand new with Moog
 parts, all the ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm and
 bushings. It has a brand new set of Cooper Cobra tires in a 205/70R 14 which
 is equivalent to the original optional tire size and the rally wheels were
 cleaned and refinished. It has a new set of KYB Excel-G shocks all around,
 nice riding for these older muscle cars. I installed a set of 2&quot; coil spring
 spacers in the rear to give it a little bit of a raked look but they can be
 removed and it sits perfectly level if you prefer.<p align="left">
The interior looks good, it was done to be a driver so it doesn't have original
style upholstery on the seats. The carpet and dash pad were replaced when it was
restored originally. The rear package tray was replaced because it had holes cut
for an aftermarket stereo so it was returned to original with insulation pad.
The headliner has a couple of bad spots and a new one is included, I just didn't
have time to install it for him. The door panels are in good shape and all the
windows work as they should. The doors had the glass run seals replaced.<p align="left">
The exterior of the car has all the original sheet metal, there was a couple of
dents worked out and the bigger one was right behind the passenger door but it
was able to be straightened. It took me a while but was able to find the wheel
opening molding the previous owner was never able to find. There is and was no
rust except for some surface rust on the floor in the trunk that cleaned up
well. There were no holes and it was cleaned, treated with POR 15 and sprayed
with the correct trunk finish. The original jack and tools were restored and it
retained the original jack sleeve as well. I found an original rim and installed
a good used tire for the spare. I replaced the trunk seal and got a jack
instruction decal for the lid. The paint is about 15 years old now, it was
painted a later GM color close to the original because he thought the original
was too dull. There are a few chips in the paint but it's definitely looks good.
it was an above average job but not high end. The bumpers were redone at the
time of paint and shine well but there are a couple of blemishes from polishing
over the years. The stainless trim is good all around and it does have typical
spots in the pot metal. The headlight buckets were repainted on the inside
areas, all the headlight adjusters were replaced, Halogen bulbs added for the
outers and headlights aimed. The grill chrome is a little worn so it could be
redone and the drip rail molding was not straightened very well when the did the
top but it's not to hard to do that. The glass is all original, the rear glass
was resealed when the did the top, the windshield has a few tiny pits in it and
a mark from a wiper blade but it could be polished out. The rest of the glass is
good.<p align="left">
The car is really clean underneath and chassis is immaculate, I started to
repaint the frame starting up front when that work was done so it wouldn't take
much to finish it. The original exhaust was still on the car when the new
exhaust was done, that alone will tell you how clean the car is underneath. All
the lights work, the horn, heater fan, wipers and even the key buzzer but the
radio doesn't.<p align="left">It is a pretty nice car but like most it has
 little things you could do to make it nicer, most of us are never done but
 rather just finished for now. If you want an excellent driver, I think this
 foots the bill. I've tried to describe it as accurately as possible and I
 get a little wordy but want to cover everything. If you have questions let
 me know. I have a ton of pictures of all different steps of the work done I
 will include with the car as well as some pics the previous owner had in the
 file showing the original engine being pulled for rebuild.<p align="left">There is
 a Buy-It-Now as you
can see, you can make an offer if you want but there is more money tied up in it
 than the buy it now so don't be looking for a steal and Ram Air Buicks have
 started to climb in the last year or two. There would be interest in a
 partial trade (min. $10K cash + your car) but it would have to be a car in
 CA or AZ, I don't like rust. I welcome inspections, the car is
 here and can be viewed by appointment. The winning bidder will receive a California
title, clear of any liens with the car. I can assist with arranging shipping to your
location or make recommendations for shipping, of course it can be picked up in person
after we have received funds. This car is located at my shop in Fresno, CA.</P>

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
