1970 Buick Gs 455 on 2040-cars
Flemington, New Jersey, United States
1970 GS 455 in diplomat blue with blue bucket interior and black vinyl top. 1 owner Texas vehicle. Just brought to NJ. Absolutely no rust in panels, trunk or floors (which still show blue factory overspray). One spot of rust was visible on the inside lower trim at rear window bottom. This is an early built GS as evidenced by the White top overflow and pointed gauges. All original never out of car 455 SR stamped engine and BA turbo 400 trans. Original rear still resides and is a non-posi 10 bolt. The paint, although laquer I believe is a second shoot and not original. There is checking visible is a few spots. It has a luster but will need some minor door dings and a dent in lft rear qtr removed. Also d/s door at the front needs a little repair. The vinyl top is original and does not show signs of any rust underneath. Motor runs good and trans shifts good but sometimes takes a moment to go into first gear. I am going to change the fluid and gasket and will update the progress if there is any. The car retains all original motor and trans mounts. Also new muffler and tail pipes have been istalled. Extra engine and intermediate pipes are in the truck. The original head pipes were in great shape and remain on the car. A new grille was installed and the original is in the trunk. Also a new fuel pump has been installed and the original is also in the trunk. Both bumpers are the originals. The front has a slight bend dead center and that is what probably cracked the grille. This is a great all original candidate with Protecto-plate for authenticity.It is a dry Texas body worhty of restoration or some TLC. Low production puts this car in this trim configuration at around 5-600 made.And lets not forget the 510 ft pounds of torque....oh yea that's what makes her a fun ride. Options include power drum brakes,455,A/C,d/s remote mirror, bucket seats,console,wheel well mldgs,and door edge guards. The front seats will need vinyl. Thanks and good luck.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
