Verde Green, Rust-free, Documented Stage 1 on 2040-cars
Brandenburg, Kentucky, United States
|
Bought new in Lancaster, PA and lived its whole life in eastern Pennsylvania. Despite being an east coast car, the body is in fantastic condition. Driver's quarter had collision repair by the second owner that was never finished, but there is NO body filler or rust repair anywhere else on the entire car. Engine, which has a service replacement block, is non-functional and unknown if it can be rebuilt. May require replacement. 1969 GS400 engine (RR code and disassembled) available if buyer is interested. In addition, a 455 swap would be a direct replacement with parts readily available aftermarket. Carburetor is non-original. To my knowledge, all other components on the car are original, numbers matching or when replaced the original parts were retained and go with the new owner.
This is a low-optioned, non-AC car. Retains the original BB transmission and 3.64 posi rear end. Interior shows staining from its long hibernation, but the vinyl is still pliable and could be cleaned and used as is. Overall, an excellent start to a project and a good way to get into high performance Buicks without breaking the bank. Car does not run and would need to be trailered to its new home. Many pictures available on request. Option to end auction early if car sells locally. Assistance with shipping possible within approximately 300 miles of Brandenburg, KY. I bought the car with the intention of restoration, but another project stole the spotlight and I need the space in my shop. I encourage personal inspections and would be happy to show the car to any interested buyers. Reserve is set at the price I paid this past autumn. Good luck. |

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production
Sat, Oct 24 2015Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
