Beautiful 1977 Buick Electra Limited Landau Coupe New Paint, Complete New Interior, Nearly $10,000 Spent On Restoration Receipts On Hand One Family Owned, Senior Ladies "BABY", Until She Was 100 Years Old Runs And Drives Fantastic, New Tires, 5 Factory Alloy Wheels I Personally Drove This Car 85 Miles From The Families Property In Las Vegas To My House I Mesquite And It Drove Beautifull Up To 80 MPH On The Freeway And Never Missed A Beat Everything Works As It Should, The Only Thing I Didn't Test Was The Cruise Control I Am Selling This Car For Family Friends, You Can Call Me At 818-425-2378 With Any Questions Let me tell you the story of "BERTIE". Her son was originaly given this car in 1977 as his compny car when he was a casino manager in Las Vegas. 3 years later he gave it to his mother BERTIE for her 70th birthday. BERTIE loved and drove this car for around 25 years until she quit driving in her mid 90's. The car was always very well cared for as BERTIE children wanted to make sure she had a safe and reliable car. She refued to trade it for a newer car because she loved this big old Buick so much. When she quit driving the car went into the family trust and was used very little for the next few years, but still very well maintained. Then in 2010 BERTIE"S children decided to restore it so BERTIE could take it for a short drive on her 100th birthday, 30 years after she was originally given the car from her son. The restoration included a complete color change as the car was originally green on green, and BERTIE had always wished it was yellow. So it got a new beige vinyl top. Then it went to the body shop for a complete color change to the beautiful yellow it is today. All chrome removed is in the trunk, nothings been thrown away.Then on to the upholstery shop. Unfortunately even tho they did great work on the big things, like the seats, carpet, headliner and dash, it became obvious that weren't experts when it came to putting everything back together. Although it looks great overall, there are minor items that still need to be finished or corrected. The center steering wheel piece never got put on. The door panels are put on incorrectly and could be better. They replaced the dash with a beige one from a Park Avenue, which is identical except that there is no place for the large clock that should be on the passenger side. When the dash was reinstalled they did not hook up the speakers for the radio or the duct work for the A/C. The A/C does work, it just doesn't come out where it should. The good news that all of the parts that were removed are in the trunk, including many extra parts that they obtained in doing the interior color change. The Story does have a happy ending, BERTIE did get it back for her 100th birthday and did take it for a short drive that thrilled her to no end. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS WELCOME. I will do all I can to assist in shipping, including holding the car for up to 30 days for any buyer. But the car still has to be paid in full within 7 days. $500 deposit due throuh Pay Pay within 48 hours. Balance due within 7 days of auction end date. NO EXCEPTIONS! I will accept Bank wire, or cash in hand upon pick up. ALL PAYMENTS MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE CAR WILL BE RELEASED. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAT 10 FEEDBACK, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING OR I MAY CANCEL YOUR BIDS. Check out my other items! On Oct-08-13 at 17:07:40 PDT, seller added the following information: I also have a stack of receipts for this car going back to the seventies. The original owners manual, repair manuals, and pix of it before the restoration was begun. Car was never hit and never had any rust. Originally bought right here in Vegas, was in Texas for a short time, then back here to Vegas. The seat belts were never reinstalled after the carpet was put in, but they are in the trunk. I have 2 sets of keys, I think they are original. The odometer quit on me last week when I was bringing it to my house in Mesquite from Las Vegas, but the speedo still works fine. This car would make a great low rider. |

GM mulling Chevy Cruze hatchback for US, Buick 'Panamera' among other new models
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've spoken at length previously about the fallacy of poor hatchback sales in the US, and with the runaway success of its Chevrolet Cruze sedan, it's somewhat unsurprising to hear that General Motors is rethinking its decision not to sell an overseas five-door variant in North America as it looks to plug a number of holes in its lineup. GM North American President Mark Reuss admitted during a media luncheon this week that not offering the model "... was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake," says Forbes. With the next-generation model already well-along in development, it's likely that the current Cruze hatch (shown above) won't see US dealers.
Reuss admits not offering the model "was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake"
In what must have been a far-reaching conversation, Reuss hinted at a number of new products for many GM brands, including "a much more beautiful Panamera" range-topper for Buick (which sounds a bit like the line of reasoning the TriShield brand has been pursuing with its Riviera concepts) and a "Ford Transit Connect-fighter" to supplant the recently announced badge-engineered Chevy City Express from Nissan.
2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.
Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
