1969 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Gadsden, Alabama, United States
|
This is a mostly original car. It would be a great starting point for someone who wanted to have a show car without much work, or someone who didn't want to do a lot of work and have a nice car already. I bought it upon return from my deployment with the Army about a year ago. I must say I am sad to see it go, but I need the money more than I need the car. The body is almost rust free with some small rust bubbling around the lower front and rear wheel wells.Its not noticeable unless you get up on it. It has the original 430 engine with the matching Quadrajet carb and TH 400 Trans. The motor was rebuilt by the previous owner, and I have all the receipts for that. It runs and drives good. The rear seal on the trans has a small leak due to the trans mount needing to be replaced. I have only added trans fluid twice in about a year, so it isn't that bad. It also has the optional front disc brakes,which is a very nice option! The power bench seat works but could use a good track cleaning, as it binds.When I bought it the A/C was supposed to be repaired, but upon receipt, was not. The blower works it just doesn't blow cold. I haven't had the time to investigate the problem, but all the components are there. All the switches in the dash work except for the rear defog. The interior is in almost perfect condition and all original but as you can see on the right side the stitching is dry rotted in a few small places on the bench and is starting to come apart, but it is not bad at all. I have all new weatherstripping to go with it as well. I just haven't had the time to install it. The glove box will also need a new lock installed. I have done my best to list all the details in the car, but if you have any more questions please feel free to contact me! Thanks for viewing!!!

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

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.
