1969 Buick Gran Sport 400 Convertible on 2040-cars
Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States
|
I have owned this car since 2003. Restored to be very close to stock. This is an original triple black GS 400 - it currently has a Buick 430, but I do have the original 400 block. It has a TH400 automatic transmission and posi-trac rear end. It was repainted in 2009.
Here is a list of some of the new/replaced components on this car: Front Disc brakes and booster assembly All floor pans Trunk pan Carpet Door seals, window felt and moldings Convertible top, boot, and seals Exhaust, Chrome headers Extra Deep Aluminum transmission pan Electronic ignition Shocks Tires Blower motor Heater core Body bushings Gas tank, gas lines, fuel sender Brake lines Front suspension bushings Sway bars Boxed rear control arms Used quarter panels and front fender from a rust free Arizona donor car. During the restoration of this car, the goal was to eliminate any rust on the car. It is a very solid car that runs and drives great. The paint is a base/clear with 3 coats of clear. The wheels are not original to this car but they are original Buick 15" ralley wheels. What this car needs: The radio doesn't work The fan shroud could be replaced The trunk pan needs repainted. Hydraulic pump to lift the convertible top leaks, but it does work. |

Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
