In. 5.0 Liter 4 Barrel Quadrajet Carburetor - Air Injection System, Electronic Ignition COMPLETE DESCRIPTION: This Riviera was purchased from a friend in 2013. It was in covered storage for 13 years after the transmission started to slip from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. It had no body damage other than normal small dents and paint oxidation. The rear bumper and door handles have small pin sized chrome pits (see pictures). All the other bright work is in beautiful condition. Only needing a battery and fuel it started. I did a complete check from top to bottom/ front to rear for any future possible problems then replaced and repaired anything needed (except for catalytic converter and cruise control speed amplifier). The front suspension was tightened up with new parts. Being front wheel drive the transmission, differential w/ complete overhaul, bearings and bushings, constant velocity joints, drive axles are ALL NEW PARTS & realigned. New brake pads and shoes were needed and installed new tires all around. The alternator was replaced because it had a slight bearing noise, radiator was also replaced with a new one (it would not hold 13 pounds of pressure caused by a small leak at an upper solder seam). The rear injector valve to the catalytic converter was defective so that was replaced. Needed to replace the muffler (too loud). All the lights were checked and replaced ant bad lamps. The interior of the car was just dust and dirt because the windows were not completely closed. The headliner needed to be replaced because the glue let loose causing it to sag in some areas. The seats )front and rear) were completely disassembled w/ the door panels and cleaned and reassembled. All carpets are new along with front and rear matching floor mats. All power switches were removed checked and cleaned. The windshield has two very small stone chips (center top). Inside rear view mirror was replaced because it appeared to have some haze along the mirror edges. The heater/AC blower was off balance so it was replaced. EXTERIOR: After all mechanical work and interior were completed, all chrome trim, bright work were removed and the chassis and under hood was steam cleaned and detailed with new paint and under coating. All body scratches and dents were repaired back to straight panels then primed for new complete paint. Instead of going to the original paint type I selected a GM 2002 color to closely match the original shade but with a pearlescent tone. (Exterior color is called Antique Bronze) Two days later it was buffed and polished and ready for a car show! (Restoration Class) MAINTENANCE HISTORY History before my purchase is unknown other than the engine was very clean in the heads/block with a very good compression and vacuum test. Replaced spark plugs, oil, A.T.F., anti-freeze, checked power steering fluid, brake fluid, converted R-12 to R-134 Freon. Have all receipts for parts |

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

2013 Buick Encore
Mon, 10 Dec 2012City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
