Up for auction is a 1975 Buick LeSabre Custom Convertible in Glacier Blue with a white convertible top and white vinyl interior. This car is an excellent running and driving project. It has been in inside storage since 1991 and although it was inside the entire time it was subject to some condensation and the vehicle has surface rust and rust through in certain areas. I initially was only going to try to start the engine and then I realized that this car is extremely sound mechanically and I decided to do more work. The engine runs beautifully and I have performed the following service items since it has been removed from storage:
Rebuilt 4 barrel carburetor
New Brake Master Cylinder and bled all brakes (The brakes operate great including the power assist)
Changed Oil
All fluids topped off and clean
Rebuilt alternator
Rebuilt power top motor and relay (The white power convertible top works perfectly. It does have several small cuts and blemishes on the top (Highlighted in picture)
Lubricated all four power windows which all work well and the power door locks work perfectly
Air Conditioning Compressor starts and stops but the air does not blow cold. The fan and all defrost and heat doors work perfectly
Driver's Side Power Seat works great
8 track AM/FM radio works great.
Windshield wipers and washer works great.
Remote trunk lock release works perfectly. (The trunk lock key does not work)
The vehicle needs restored. There is rust through in the following areas: Driver's side floor pan has a hole where the driver's foot would rest, small area under the battery tray (new battery tray included), lower front fenders, rear wheel well openings, lower quarter panel areas, and a very small hole in the trunk. The remainder of the underside of the vehicle has surface rust but is in otherwise OK condition but certainly not perfect. The trunk as the original jack and equipment and original trunk mat. The rear bumper has damage from a minor fender bender and has rust through and will need replaced. The rear bumper is pushed in slightly on the passenger side. The rear bumper filler has cracked in numerous places will need to be replaced. I am missing the passenger front wheel well trim moulding and the body side mouldings on the passenger side. I am also missing the front hood ornament and rear truck lock ornament. The white vinyl seats are in good general condition but there is a crack on the driver's seat. The dash is in excellent condition except for one very small area. I am missing the clock that is located in the dash. The carpet is in tact but will need to be replaced. The car has been repainted in its original color choice but there is some overspray on the underneath of the car.
This is a very highly optioned 1975 Buick. Those options include but are not limited to A/C, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Cruise Control, Power Driver's Seat, Cornering Lamps and 8 track AM/FM Radio. The mileage is unknown and the free and clear PA title in my name shows "mileage exempt". I do have a 1989 oil change sticker with 33,120 miles on it and it went into storage in 1991. However, I have no docmentation from 1975 to 1989. The VIN number matches the title exactly.
I have included very detailed pictures including underside photos. After looking at all of the photos and reviewing the description feel free to ask any questions on the car. This is a used car and is being sold in AS-IS condition with no actual or implied warranty. I welcome the opportunity to show the car personally. A $500.00 deposit is due by Paypal within 48 hours of the auction end and full payment is due in 7 days. The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping of their choice however I will assist the shipper with any loading. The key to this car is that it is an excellent running and driving car with all major components working well while it is still a project. Thanks for looking and good luck!!

Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
