1968 Buick Riviera Hardtop 2-door 7.0l, 360hp, Classic on 2040-cars
Steilacoom, Washington, United States
|
This car is beautiful for it's age. 1968 Buick Riviera with a little over 20,000 miles (no way to know for certain, but I assume it has turned at least once) as far as I can tell with the documentation I received. It has a 430-4, V8 "Big Block" engine that pushes 360hp. I have the stock rims and whitewall tires on hand if the future owner requests them, but opted to upgrade them to their current look. The car has been detailed extensively and the craftsmanship has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. The paint is original, but has been repaired over the years. The body is free of rust holes and is in remarkable shape. The engine has a new radiator, new brake drums, all hoses flushed, new battery (starts every time), new shocks, new wheel cylinders, new hoses and spark plug wires, just to name a few. I am not interested in dealing with anyone not willing to travel to my location or willing to ensure full payment is made before shipping the car. Clean title in hand to a serious bidder. She runs strong with minor cosmetic issues only. The interior is in awesome condition. The 1968 Buick Riviera was luxury American Muscle in it's day.
Do your own research on these. There are ones online that are in an unrestored-state for under $10,000 from time-to-time, but with those, you would still have to put up the money to get the mechanical condition of the car up to par as cars this old are prone mechanical problems. The car is 46 years and this one has a fully functioning mechanical system that has been professionally inspected and repaired. If you want an American Muscle Car that gets heads to turn, then this is the car for you. Call Jeff if interested. **Also, I have all the repair manuals for all Buick models in 1968. I purchased this disc that has the 1968 Body By Fisher repair manual as well as the services manual. This is all a person would need to attain part numbers and to make minor to large fixes by yourself. This can save tons of money on repairs for these older cars and makes it a challenge to track down replacement parts; kind of like a treasure hunt! New parts: *New Tires w/ Rims *New Brake Drums (all 4) *Replaced Shocks (Rides like a muscle car, not a boat) *New Radiator (with new hoses) *Replaced Power Steering Pump *Newly painted hood (no dents or rust) *New Spark Plugs and Custom Wiring *New Kicker 6x9 speakers (rear), and dual 2.5 speakers (front) installed *(Radio is an older cassette deck but has an adapter for hooking to any MP3 device so the sound is good quality) *All leather interior has been treated *New interior carpet installed (I am an amateur, so this is not a professional job, it still looks good) *All chrome has been treated and polished *Engine growls like American Muscle should *New air filter *All interior vinyl has been treated *New headlight air hydraulic lines installed (These headlights flip up and into the body when not in use and are in perfect working order which is rare due to the age) *All wiring has been verified and all lights work properly *New starter and ignition system *New battery and new connections *The trunk has been stripped to bare metal and sealed |

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
