I bought the car in 2006 and since that time, it has not been driven in rain/snow or on a track. It is adult owned and has never been abused. I have all invoices which include detailed descriptions of all the work completed and will forward them to you upon request. Since my ownership, all work has been completed by Conti’s Service, 226 Warwick Avenue, Cranston, RI 02905, Phone – 401-781-5770. Please feel free to direct specific build questions to John Conti at the above number Monday through Friday from 6:15 am to 4:30 pm. Serious inquiries only (no test pilots) Call Josh @ 401-368-0207. Again, the invoices contain more detail but I have attempted to list some of the major items included in the build. They are as follows:

Speed Pro Forged pistons, AirTex Water Pump, Poston/Accufab Fuel Regulator, Hi Output Walbro fuel pump, New GM Fuel Tank, Melling Hi Volume Engine Oil Pump, Sealed Power - Piston Ring Set, head bolts, Clevite main, rod and cam brgs., Speedpro rings, performance cam and kit for specific application with timing chain and degreeable sprocket, Harland Sharp roller rockers and hardened shafts, TE 44C Turbo (850 CFM), Precision/Bosch 50 lb injectors and 93 Chip, Auto Meter – temp, oil pressure, voltage gauges, High Temp Silicone GM gasket set, Heavy Duty Clevite rod and main bearings, full floating pins and new connecting rods, Crane Cams machined valve lock set, MSD Gear reduction starter, Severe duty Turbo 400 3 speed auto installed with Alto clutches and severe duty steels, 32 element sprag, Tourington thrust bearings in high load areas, new lipseals, 3200 stall converter, Brute Force/Neapco U-joints and Chrome moly drive shaft, GM brake master/pump/accumulator/s entire assembly, rear wheel cylinders, Viston heavy duty radiator with stock design internal trans. and oil coolers, Headers – port matched to cylinder heads & ceramic coated, Pit-bull stainless steel exhaust modified to improve flow, New Headliner. A/C system works but, will likely need a charge at this point. The engine and all components were prepped, primed and painted individually. In regards to the exterior, the areas that need spot painting include the nose (normal, stone chipping), right door (paint cracking) and trunk lid. NO RUST EXISTS

The speedometer needs to be calibrated and the digital boost and tack do not work. There is one quarter size dent in the passenger front fender which is included in the pictures. The car is a recovered theft with all proper documentation. It was regsistered in RI when I bought it and I have maintained a Rhode Island registration. The interior is in great shape (no rips or heavy wear on seats). The headliner is new. I am happy to take and forward any additional pictures that you request. The car is for sale locally as well.

2013 Opel Cascada

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

The 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.

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
