1975 Buick Century Free Spirit. 64k original miles. T-tops originally installed by Hurst. The car has been in my family since purchased new. My grandfather purchased it to promote our family business at the time. The car was used in parades and paced a couple bicycle races.
The car sat in the old wearhouse for yrs and then my Mom decided she would like to get it going again to drive it to play golf. Whatever. So I got it running good with tune up and replaced some gaskets. Cleaned it up and had it painted. The paint job is awesome. Straightest mid 70s car you will ever see. No Bondo. The car just had some surface rust along the door bottoms and maybe some behind the rear wheel wells but it was just serface rust.
Once I got the car back from paint I had the new tires and wheels installed. My Mom used the car for two summers and has now lost interest. We no longer have storage so it is eating up space in my garage. I was going to add some HP and enjoy it myself but I have to many other things going on and not enough time.
The car is really in great shape. There are a few interior cosmetic issues but nothing really bad. I would give the interior a 7 out of 10 and the exterior a 9 out of 10. The only reason I cant give the exterior a 10 is do to the rear tailight filler. It has fallen appart and I have yet to have it replaced.
The car drives just like a 1970 GM car should. The car can be driven anywhere.
The Bad: The dash has a crack on the corner where it meats the door panel. The driver seat has a tear on the side of the seat. The passenger door window sweep has a little rust on it. The rear taillight filler needs to be replaced.
Asking price is $8,600. Pictures speak for themselves.
Vehicle is located in Central Illinois. Please call with questions. 309-750-1000
Thanks,Dave

2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
