This car is gorgeous!  I bought it last summer off of Ebay and had to go out to Illinois to pick it up.  That was quite an adventure as my diesel was doing funny things to me on the way back, (all the way back).

Things I've done to the car:  A new thermostat and the radiator overfill cap replaced, (old one wouldn't snap on).  And a detail job as you can see in the pics.  I've driven this car a couple of times to where I work and back, (150 miles each way), and around town.  It always gets looks and thumbs up signs.  Everyone looks from kids to old ladies!  It's a magnificent car.  The mileage is original and has not turned, it's not 110198 it's only 10198.  Pretty hard to believe for a car that's 40 years old.  The young man I bought it from put 3000 onto it and had some trouble in that area of the country, (hence the bullet strike on the back door).  That didn't go through and there are not any other strikes on the body or interior, (thank God).  He was a nice kid with a real nice young family to boot.  Wish I'd of stayed in touch with him.  (Don't think I want to go back that way though, all I smelled going out there from Wyoming was corn,... and pig pee).  Not conducive to a fun drive!  Trailered it back to Casper, WY.

The interior is immaculate.  It looks new with no tears, wears, splits, or things coming apart.  Seats, panels, and dash have no cracks or splits.  Carpet is original with no wearing.  Paint on the inside is the same too.  Black interior, looks like it came off the lot yesterday.  Radio doesn't work, (it's am anyway).  I'll have it looked at to see if maybe it might be a fuse.  Engine also is immaculate, big ol' monster big block 455.  The young man I bought it from had straight pipes put in and they shoot out the back.  I'd put quiet mufflers in but my wife has hated the car from the start and about cleaned my clock when I brought it home.  I don't understand why she doesn't like these old boats but I'd rather keep her, (had an old 65 Buick Electra in the same scenerio and it went to an older man in Louisianna, man I miss that car).  One of these day's I'll have one that I can keep.  My dream car is a red with black interior, 67 Buick Electra 4 dr. with the 455 original.

This car has a few ding spots in addition to that bullet strike as I point out in the pictures, typical for any car.  The places where the paint has worn are shown also.  It would be a shame to paint this any other color than the original gold.  What else.  The air conditioning is original and I even was going to stock up on R12 refrigerant.  The problem is is that no one has that kind of equipment to put it into a system anymore and the new refrigerant has a whole different setup, I know, I checked.  And, no guaranteeing that it won't leak and at $30 a can and at least 6 cans, youch!  It use to cost a couple of bucks when you could buy it at the local hardware store, now look up R12 on ebay.

The young man I bought it from also put air shocks on the back.  Original shocks are included in box in the back.  The air shock filler is just under the rear gas door, (under the license plate), in the back.

Spare tire I think is original as perhaps the tires that are on it.  They are all in good shape.  Original jack in the trunk.I'm six foot with fairly long legs and with the seat back, I can stretch way out.  It has more room than my crew cab chevy.

If you have any questions, please ask.  Thank you.

Buick to add more GS models?

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.

Buick version of Equinox/Terrain CUV spied testing... with autonomous gear?

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

Let's get the most pressing bits of this story out of the way right off the bat: What we see here appears to be a new compact crossover from Buick. According to the spy photographer, this machine may be a little bit smaller on the outside than the current Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain 'utes, which makes sense since recent rumors suggest GM's small crossovers will migrate to a new platform that will mark a convergence between the automaker's Delta (Chevy Cruze, Buick Verano) and Theta (Equinox, Terrain) platforms. This Buick would likely use this new D2UX platform.
We've been expecting Buick to unleash a crossover to slot between the very small Encore and the very large Enclave, and various rumors have indicated that the model may be known as either the Anthem or Envision. It's worth mentioning that Buick had planned, back in 2009, to release a vehicle in the compact CUV market, but abandoned those plans after a particularly poor reception.
And now for something completely different... Take another look at the spy shots above, and pay special attention to the cylindrical device mounted to the vehicle's roof. We can't say for sure what it is, but our spy photographer opines that it looks quite a bit like the 360-degree Lidar camera equipment used by Google for its autonomous cars. Is General Motors working with Google on autonomous car technology? We don't know, but you can definitely consider us intrigued.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
