1970 Buick GranSport GSX Re-creation This Buick up for auction is a real GranSport that was made into a GSX recreation. It has an original steel framed GranSport Ram-Air induction hood, and has the cool GSX spoiler. These 60's and 70's muscle cars have incredible investment potential, and have been referred to as rolling bank accounts. This GSX look-a-like is powered by a Big Block Buick 455, but is not believed to be numbers matching. Although being an Olds guy, I never learned how to check the numbers on any Buick's. The quadrajet does have the awesome dual snorkeled ram-air cleaner with new foam seals. There is a brand new exhaust system with new chrome tips welded on each side of the rear pipes. This Buick has dual sport mirrors painted to match the body color. It also has the Buick sport steering wheel. The black bucket seats are in very good condition, so they should be nice and comfortable for many years to come. The entire interior looks really pretty sweet as seen in the pictures. The black carpeting is brand new with the extra sound deadening padding, including a brand new set of four black carpeted deluxe floor mats. The console is the infamous horseshoe shifter, and the headliner was replaced. The headliner needs to be stretched a bit still, so I'm going to try and have that finished by the end of the auction. There is a new dash pad as well with a new GSX emblem above the glove box. All the gaskets around the doors were replaced after the car was painted, including the window seal gaskets, and the trunk gasket. The one year only 1970 GS grille is brand new from The Parts Place with the new three piece chrome trim that surrounds the grille, and a brand new GSX grille emblem. There is a brand new pair of Cooper Cobra P235/60R15 inch raised white lettered tires on the front, and P245/60R15 on the rear mounted on 15 inch Buick chrome sport wheels. All four wheels have the proper center caps for 1970. There is a 10 bolt rear-end, but I am unsure of the gear ratio. There is a pair of air shocks on the rear suspension that seem to be holding air nicely. In my opinion I have not seen an undercarriage this clean on a 44 year old muscle car. This Buick has its original floors that look like about a 10 year old car. The frame appears the same way, and the original trunk floor is in very good condition, and was coated with black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct. Inside the trunk is a new trunk mat, and a nicely detailed original jack, and crow bar with a full size Cooper Cobra spare on a Buick sport wheel. This way if there is ever a mishap you can be back on the road in minutes looking complete. There is a full set of wheel opening moldings, and the correct GranSport stainless steel lower rocker cover moldings on both sides. The front and the rear bumpers are both brand new with triple plated chrome, and both rear tail lights are brand new. The power steering belt is not on the car, because I think it has the wrong bracket. That minor issue will be left up to the new owner. What you see is exactly what you get! These mostly complete older classics that have survived for over 40 years are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in this color combination. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide currently has the 1970 Buick GranSport listed at $50,255 in high condition, $19,780 in average condition, and $10,637 in low condition. I personally believe this silver and black beauty is in much better than average condition. I received this car in a trade, and I'm not looking to break the bank on this sale deeming the fact that it is being sold at no reserve. I simply need the funds from this sale to clear up some pertinent bills right away. It is imperative that the winner has the funds to follow through with their lucky winning bid according to the auction guidelines. I tried to place all of the factory decals in the proper places to make this cool classic look the way it would have rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into the recreation of this GSX. Whatever this classic sells for in this no reserve auction is a win/win investment. This Buick is an investment that I believe will continue to rise as these cars have shown to consistently escalate in value. These GM A-Body muscle cars are the finest handling cars I have ever driven. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or may just want to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car at a nominal price. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This car is being offered at "No Reserve" on a 3-day listing. It will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific time, 7:00pm Central time, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. Thank you for taking the time to view my auction. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
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.
