If you know your muscle cars, you know that the Buick GS 455 is rare. All you have to do is look at closed auctions on eBay to see how often they come up and what they sell for. I like to be straight-up, so let's start from the beginning. I purchased this car a month ago, with the intention of keeping it and putting a little work into it, or re-selling straight off. I was never intending to make any big profit if I sold, and I'm still not. I feel I paid a fair price and can find someone else to pay a fair price. I'm not keeping it for one simple reason--I realize that I don't have the time to devote to the car. I guess at a certain point you just know this is a job for another person. That said, I've had the car to a mechanic, who looked it over and said nothing needs any immediate attention. I just replaced the battery, so you're starting new right there. Now that the battery has been replaced, the engine starts with no problems and has the nice throaty rumble you want from these cars. I was told by the previous owner that the engine was rebuilt 4 years ago and have no reason to doubt it, as it appears he was honest about the car and its history when it was sold to me. The mechanic and I dove into the engine compartment to confirm that it is a 455 stamped engine; the number is 1231738, which checks out to a 1971 455, so I believe it is original. The 455 engine is more valuable than the 350 engine, so if you see a GS 350 car, you are not comparing apples to apples. The 455 has 310 horsepower, whereas the 350 had 260 horses. The car drives just fine from what I can see. I haven't driven it very much because the front two tires have some dry rot. Back tires look fairly new. If you put some front tires on the car, it is a daily driver. If you want to do a little body work and paint the car, you're going to have a sweet ride for a great price.

The gentleman who sold me the car inherited from his father, who owned it since the early 1970s, but never used it as his own, so his knowledge was somewhat limited. The color is called Bittersweet Mist and appears to be original. The original 455 labeled air cleaner is not installed, but sitting in the trunk. I believe with the aftermarket Holley carburetor, it might not fit. The car has aftermarket electronic ignition. This car had factory AC, which is a good selling point, but the AC compressor is not with the car; you can find the original ones on eBay or other old stock vendors, or you can just buyer a new one. The interior was replaced fairly recently, as it appears pretty much unblemished, with the exception of one small indentation in the center of the front seats--possible a cigarette ash burn, as I see ashes in the little drawer where the lighter is. The headliner is new, so the interior is really good, except that the wood grain trim that fits over the AC controls is missing. The vinyl top is also new. You have some rust in the rear panels, but nothing horrendous. A friend who does body work said it could be cut out easily enough. You have some body filler on the rear quarter panel on the driver's side, as well, and some rot on the front of the hood. You have an automatic transmission with console shifter. The steering wheel is not original--I have the original in the trunk, but it is cracked. The pictures should give you a pretty good idea of what the car is, but if there is something else you need me to photograph, just ask. Good luck bidding--I don't think you'll be disappointed with what you buy!

2016 Buick Regal prices slashed

Tue, Aug 4 2015

The Buick Regal is getting an aggressive price cut for the 2016 model year to keep pace in a crossover-centric world and its own hyper-competitive midsize sedan segment. The 2016 Buick Regal GS now starts at $35,915, after a $925 destination charge, which amounts to a $3,320 price cut compared to 2015. There's no de-contenting associated with the cost decreases either, and the vehicles are now available with Apple CarPlay. The lower prices follow through much of the lineup. The 1SP Premium model sees a $2,535 savings at $33,415 after destination; the 1SL trim falls $1,000 to $30,840; and the 1SV maintains at $28,915. The decision to make these cuts is meant to better position the midsize sedan against its rivals. "We know consumer sentiment towards sedans has decreased," Buick spokesperson Nick Richards said to Autoblog. CUVs like the company's own Encore are where buyers are moving. "Repositioning the Regal to more aggressively compete in the midsize sedan segment is the first of many steps we are taking in advance of next year's product offensive," Buick sales vice president Duncan Aldred said in a letter to dealers, according to USA Today. The decision probably couldn't have come at a better time because the Regal has suffered so far in 2015. Through July, the company has delivered 10,928 of them, down a significant 19.3 percent from the same period last year. A recent study also found that the model was among the most likely in the US to be sold after just one year of ownership.

Is this GM's next electric crossover?

Thu, Nov 16 2017

GM made headlines this week when CEO Mary Barra presented the company's electrification and automation plans at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in New York. "We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable," Barra said, which could be taken as a jab at Tesla. In the presentation ( PDF here), though, we see a new vehicle in a slide titled "Leveraging existing BEV platform to expand in near term." The vehicle, seen above, accompanied the captions "New CUV entries" and "two entries by 2020." Is this a sneak preview of an upcoming electric crossover from GM? The image seems too realistic and intentional to be a random placeholder. If this is, indeed, an upcoming battery-electric CUV based on the Bolt, the question remains: Will it be a Chevy or a Buick? It has no visible badging, but it shares DNA from both brands. As Inside EVs points out, though, it does bear a resemblance to the Chevrolet FNR-X concept unveiled in Shanghai earlier this year. With two CUVs on the way, it's not unthinkable that there could be a version for each brand. In addition to this slide, the presentation includes plans for an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" launching in 2021. The all-new modular battery system will cost less than $100 per kWh, providing higher energy density and faster charging. The platform will host at least nine different vehicles, including a compact crossover, seven-seat luxury SUV and a large commercial van. GM has said it will launch 20 new EVs by 2023, and that it targets 1 million EV sales per year by 2026. Many of those sales will be in China. Related Video:
