<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>

Junkyard Gem: 1978 Buick Electra 225

Wed, Dec 21 2016

The Buick Electra was a big, plush, dignified land yacht for the 1959 through 1976 model years, but certain events in the middle 1970s, coupled with increasing sales of imported cars, convinced The General that a weight-loss program would help Electra sales. For the 1977 model year, the big Buick became 11 inches shorter and shed close to 900 pounds. Sales took off. Most of these cars are gone now, but I was able to find this faded '78 in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service yard a few weeks back. Just to be clear, the Buick Electra in the iconic Sir Mix-a-Lot video, My Hooptie, is a 1969 model. That car was much bigger and more powerful than today's Junkyard Gem. This car has the optional Oldsmobile 403-cubic-inch V8 engine under the hood, which was good for 185 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. This is the same type of engine that was badged as a 6.6-liter plant in the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of Smokey and the Bandit fame, and GM's mix-and-match games with engines from different divisions went on to cause great disgruntlement among buyers who wanted a Buick engine in a Buick. The silver-faced gauges were pretty cool-looking by late-1970s standards. The interior is standard-issue Detroit luxury car for the era: much vinyl, many molded-in fake stitches, plenty of not-trying-very-hard-to-look-real "wood." These cars rode very comfortably and looked sharp, so who cared if the interiors were plasticky? According to Glenn Ford, the '78 Electra carried on an ancient tradition of Buick luxury.

2014 Buick Regal GS

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

A few months ago I drove the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and wrote up a First Drive review of it. For all of my quibbles with that sedan (and I had a fair number), I understand that it speaks to the heart of what new Buick loyalists like in a car; it's roomy, has a cushy ride and is as placid as a summer's morning at highway speeds.
Those qualities, while undeniably desirable, don't mean a whole lot to me personally. I prefer sedans that conjure up words like "nimble," "punchy" or even "raucous" on occasion. So, directionally, the high-performance GS version of the 2014 Buick Regal is more my cup of tea than any other car in the company's current range.
In fact, I'd already come to know the Regal GS from its 2012 model year introduction, and grown more than a little fond of the sporting sedan in its original front-wheel-drive, six-speed-manual guise. The fast, sweet-handling car with well-sorted controls may have suffered from a slight identity crisis in terms of pricing (and may still), but it was undeniably fun to drive. So, when I heard that the GS was coming to market for 2014 with optional all-wheel drive (albeit only in combination with a six-speed automatic transmission), I was stoked to have another go and concentrated my driving impressions on the AWD car.

2022 Buick Enclave revealed with a handsome new look

Thu, Jan 21 2021

Here is the 2022 Buick Enclave! That's all now. Move along. At least, that’s according to Buick, which offered no information beyond these two photos. We know itÂ’s for the 2022 model year, and we know it will go on sale “later this year.” The visual changes are obvious enough on their own. It amounts to what weÂ’d expect a mid-cycle refresh would look like. Buick gave it a totally new front and rear. WeÂ’re most taken by the new look up front, though. That grille gives it the presence it was lacking before, and the horizontal slashes meeting in the middle at the Buick logo are a nice touch. New LED headlights are slimmed way down and tuck in neatly under the hood. Even the lower bumper adds some pizazz with swooping lines and a handsome, verging on sporty, finish. Nothing much changes in the middle, but sharp LED taillights steal the show in back. TheyÂ’re still connected by a central trim piece, but itÂ’s been darkened and massaged to a cleaner look. Buick also looks like it has gone for a concealed exhaust design — it had a visible dual exhaust pipe exit before. The last obvious change is a new set of dark-painted wheels. There are certainly a number of tech updates to be found on the interior, but Buick isnÂ’t talking about (or showing) those yet. WeÂ’ll have to wait for a later date to know every last detail of the refreshed Enclave. For now, the styling changes are a nice change of pace and make it look far more appealing. Related video:
