I bought her 7 or 8 years ago. I'm sure everything is legit on the car (numbers match etc). The guy who installed my new top told me that the 104,000 mileage was "NOT" rollover because the interior was original. I replaced the top and the top motor (a hydraulic line is leaking right now). I replaced the windshield and I had the transmission overhauled less then 5000 miles ago. No rust from what I have been able to see. Car has stayed in my garage since I've owned her. I put in a 12 disk CD player and new speakers, oil pressure, temperature and battery gauges. Oh, had an air condition guy look at it...The compressor is fine but the air conditioner needs some kind of internal switch (he said 300 dollars). The car has electronic ignition, no points or condenser. The carburetor was rebuilt less then 1000 miles ago. The electric windows work slow but okay but the electric wind wings do not. I'm not sure, I think the electric seats work two out of the three directions. I replaced one of the two cornering lights and sockets/frame. I put in a heavy duty double fan for parades and I went to duel exhaust. The rubber (doors, windows and top) needs replacing (car leaks everywhere during rain). The tires are very good, almost new. I also like the fender skirts. The handbook is the original. I Believe the car originally (in 1965) belong to a doctor in Oklahoma. I learned from research that there are approx. 60 of these cars left (1965 Electra convertibles) and that mine has many rare factory options such as the cornering lights, wind wings and factory cruise control. The asking bidding price is really, really good, too good, so I have been told. I haven't started her in 6 months but spray the carburetor and charge the battery and she starts right up.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
