This car is solid, it has no rust, anywhere. It has been kept inside for as much of its life as I could check into. The following items have been redone just this past year, and rarely driven since.
1. body work and paint- it has been worked on by a professional car body restorer. it has had a beartiful paint and body work job completed on it.
2. a professional engine rebuild- to original specs (see #6)
3. an entire interior, all vynal, carpet, convertible top and boot are all new and to orginal specs
4. Drive train, airconditioner, control switches etc, etc have all been gone through and put in good working order
5. a true "grandsport" nothing fake about it, operational hood scoops with all orginal working parts
6. note- there have been five modifacations to the restoration of this vehicle that I thought were good for the car but not "orginal" 1. a "mild performance" cam was installed with the restoration because of the high elevation where I live. 2. A electronic distributer was installed. 3. A satilatte radio with cd player was installed. 4. A after market cruise control was added. it looks orginal inside the car but has a box mounted on fender under hood. 5. To balance out the dash cluster unit I added a a/c vent from orginal parts and put it where the convertable top switch was and relocated the switch to the left and somewhat under the dash, this made the dash instrument cluster much more balance and gave the driver better a/c effeciancy.
7. I have all the orginal parts to put the car back to its total orginal condition. note all the interior, paint color and all other restoration work is to orginal specs, including color.

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
