1970 Buick Gsx on 2040-cars
Valles Mines, Missouri, United States
The engine has been rebuilt, but I will get into specifics below. It really is a rare opportunity to even be around an original paint 70 GSX. Most of them have been restored or wrecked in the last 50 years.
Body:
Original Saturn Yellow paint with the exception of the driver side door. The black stripes are all there. The
hood stripe has the most wear. It can be seen clearly in the video above. There are numerous dings and chips all
around the car, typical of a car that has been driven. Overall, there is no major rot. There are a few spots
where surface rust has popped through. This can all be seen in the video. Photos only go so far with description.
Interior:
With the exception of two aftermarket water and oil gauges below the dash, it is pretty much untouched. Both front
seats have separating seams in the seat bottoms, but the rest of the interior is in nice shape. The driver side
floor mat is getting a bit ratty, but the carpet underneath is still good. The radio works. Clock does
not...surprised?
Engine/Transmission:
The engine is NUMBERS MATCH original. It has been rebuilt sometime in the early or mid 2000's. The VIN is still
on the deck of the block, so it can be verified. I cannot find a number on the transmission case, but it is the
correct casting. The engine runs smooth with no weird noises or ticks/knocks. Clutch feels good and tight and
rows through the gears just fine.
Wheels & Tires:
Wheels are the correct WG Buick rallyes with BFG tires. The wheel chrome isn't perfect, but very presentable.
Spare wheel is also correct WG.
Weatherstripping:
The roof rail rubber is a bit dry and flaky but still doing its job. Door weatherstripping is decent. Quarter
window seals are decent. Trunk seal is there, but it's getting kind of scuzzy along the bottom edge.
Undercarriage:
I've had a pretty good look under there, and it appears that it's been cleaned up and blacked out under the entire
car. I think it would have been done at the same time that the engine and trans were out. There is NO rot. All of
the pinch welds and rockers are nice and clean

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
