Listed for auction is a RARE 1964 Buick Riviera wearing its original paint and interior.This is a car that has been sitting since 1982.It was purchased from the original owner 4 years ago by the neighbor across the street,then purchased by me.He had intentions of getting it running but decided at 83 years old it was time to let it go.This is one of 2122 Rivieras built in 1964 with the 425 Super Wildcat KX code engine with dual carbs and dual snorkel air cleaner. The carbs and intake with all linkages intact.It has the original transmission and rear end which was ordered as an open rear end gear.It has a power driver seat,power antenna,AM radio,door edge guards,a/c and tinted windows.It wears its original hubcaps.I have the original owners manual and the protect plate to verify.The body is very solid but it does have areas that will need attention,trunk ,rear window and driver side floor by where your left heel would rest.The rest of the body is solid and straight with the exception of the drivers door skin(one dent).The paint is oxidized and there is some surface rust in areas.Some people are paying big money to paint their cars to look like this patina.The interior needs a total re-do.The chrome and stainless is in very good condition.When I tried to turn the engine over it wouldn't budge.The old fellow that I purchased the car from drained the oil for some reason and it sat for a long while with no oil.This numbers matching engine (see picture) was pulled and inspected and was able to be turned over.There is no major engine failure but it will need to be gone through(rebuilt) AND IS INCLUDED WITH THE CAR.I installed a 401 that I had that runs great,and topped it with the original intake set up.The gas tank and fuel system was gone through as well as the brakes,new master cylinder,wheel cylinders,hoses and front shoes.The car runs drives and stops however it was just in my driveway,needs tires.This is a great restoration project.They are getting hard to find "all there".The ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING KX CODE block(with matching serial number) will go with the car and can be put in the trunk for transport.Please don't ask if this can drive to California,it will have to be transported.That being said this car could easily be driving around with little work.Title is clear in previous owners name.Any questions please ask.

Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel
Thu, 04 Apr 2013General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy
Wed, 31 Oct 2012Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
