This 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon has been my personal daily driver for over four years now. It has the desired LT1 Fuel Injected 350 or "Corvette Engine" backed by the 4L60E 4 speed transmission. It gets about 22 MPG on the highway and about 16 MPG around town. This Roadmaster has the tow package which adds the Engine Oil Cooler, Transmission Cooler and the auto leveling rear shocks (shocks were removed but the air pump and lines are still installed). It has leather interior which is in good shape. The AC blows super cold. It has an aftermarket stereo installed which allows the use of Bluetooth for music streaming and phone. I had the exhaust worked on and added a set of Magnaflow mufflers. It has a nice, mild but throaty muscle car sound.
The car runs strong and has been well maintained over its entire life. Over the past several years I have replaced the following:
- Front oil seals
- Cap, Rotor and Plugs and Wires
- Rear Brake Drums, Wheel Cylinders and Pads
- Radiator, Hoses, Water Pump, Coolant (Converted it to the Green All Purpose)
- Belts, Fan Belt Tensioner
- Front Sway Bar End Links
- Front Bearings
- AC Hose and complete recharge.
Since I bought the car I have customized and upgraded the following:
- Sport Front Brake Package - Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors with matching pads
- 1.5" Sport Drop Springs in the Front and Back.
- Sport Shocks for lowered cars
- Balance tube installed with Magnaflow Mufflers installed and resonators removed.
- Removed the wood grain and replaced it with 3M White Car Wrap
- Stripped the wood grain from the Stainless Trim, polished and replaced.
- Added 1953 Roadmaster Emblems to the Rear Quarters
The car runs well and will make a great daily driver. It has been a blast to drive and to my wife's chagrin it gets a lot of attention everywhere we go. We are selling it because we are moving out of state.
The car has a few things that you'll need to do once you get it. The tires and heater core (currently bypassed since I live in Florida) will need to be replaced. The rear passenger door window regulator needs to be replaced, currently it is in the upright position and I disconnected the motor (this is a common problem in Florida)
PAYMENT: Full Payment within 7 days of the end of the Auction (See payment details). A Non-Refundable deposit of $500 is due within 24 Hours of the end of the Auction (Paypal Accepted)
DELIVERY: You can arrange for pick up or shipping of the car. I will not arrange any delivery.
Overall, this is a great car. Please take a look at the pictures...

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
