SELLER NOTES:
**Full Disclosure** I was asked to sell this vehicle for a family member whose husband recently passed away. They asked me because I have been a collector of classic cars over the years (lucky me). I do not usually sell vehicles that I don't know the total history on, but I was asked to help. From what I was able to find out from his (the previous owner) neighbor, who apparently would come over and hang out as he (the previous owner) worked on it—I know the following about this vehicle, but cannot vouch for its condition other than what I was told.
It was explained to me that this truck was originally scheduled for a complete restoration inside and out. However, it appears that the previous owner was only able to complete the mechanical portion of the project. The truck is currently equipped with a fully rebuilt 454 big block bored 30 over and a rebuilt 400 turbo 3 speed transmission with a custom Flow Master exhaust system with H pipe (engine and transmission currently have less than 100 miles on them and are still in break-in period.) The first stage of break-in (the first running, idle hold, and then high rpm hold) was done and the oil was then dumped and the second stage break-in oil is currently in the motor. The vehicle has not really been driven except for a couple runs around the block and was told that —he—(the previous owner) felt it had further adjustments to be made after more miles were added (usually 400-500).
The truck itself has body issues with regard to some dents and there are signs of some less than great body work as well as some rust on the front right fender. Not regular rust, but looks as it was due to a leak from the battery a long time ago (See Pic #24) I have not inspected this vehicle for rust, but I did notice some by the lower front doors (forward by the jam, but on the door not the frame). The floor pans look okay (possibly replaced), windshield will need to be replaced and the interior is not complete. Trim is rough and the front bumper is no beauty queen (I assume this would have been the next stage of the restoration.) The underside of the truck is clean and he (the previous owner) must have recently gone through it and then sealed it. (See Pics.)
Truck fires right up (See Video Link Below) and gauges and instruments seem to all work. (See List Above.) Drives fine, although I only took it for a run around the neighborhood myself. Not sure what adjustments it would require, as I am not an engine builder/ mechanic, but it seemed to run pretty good (the thing is a beast.) Brakes will need adjustment (four wheel drum.) Looks like the beginning of a good project to me, but I am more knowledgeable of classic cars than classic trucks.
I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability but each person's opinions do vary, so please ask questions. The reserve is set pretty low (well under NADA low side condition 4) and I don't know if this is the best deal in the world or the worst. I have linked below to a video of the truck starting and running. I am happy to answer any questions, but please keep in mind I do not know the full history of this vehicle and will answer what I can. I currently have the vehicle in my possession and the title is in my name now. It is clean and clear from the state of New Mexico. I'm happy to assist with shipping logistics if needed.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.
