1971 Buick Electra 225 Custom on 2040-cars
Leicester, North Carolina, United States
|
I purchased this vehicle in 2007 from my friends brother. He bought it new in June 1971. The car had been sitting most of the time from approximately 1995 to 2007. Much of that time was in the garage I first saw it in. the owners son had rebuilt the motor, gone through the transmission, the brakes and painted the car around the time it was parked. So i believe this to have been done around 75000 mile. I have no paper work of the work done just my friend word and the way the car looks and runs, i believe this. I change the exhaust system from standard to out of each manifold through flomaster mufflers. Wheel are from a Buick Riviera of appoximately the same year. The paint has chips on the trunk lid louvers and flaws down the center ridge of the hood. I replaced the starter mid summer and the battery about one year ago. Also had the wheel aligned. The ac compressor locked up last fall and I never repaird it. I put an after market radio in under the dash and new speaker, leaving the original radio in place. Please call Terry @ 828-335-23463 with any question, thanks |

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
