I have a rare but custom 59 Buick Lesabre 2 door coupe up for sale with clean title and current registration in Northern CA. The body has had a 71 Pontiac frame and running gear fitted underneath, Pontiac 400 big block with dual exhaust and 2 barrel carb getting 16MPG, 400 auto trans. The entire body of the car was taken apart to be soda blasted before paint was applied the antenna was smoothed, door handles no poppers or cylinoids, mirrors, windshield wipers and the rear pan under the rear bumper was shortened and welded in with a custom fabricated rear bumper bracket. The whole entire body of the car was disassembled and everything removed stainless trim, mouldings, front clip, doors, trunk lid, hood, interior and glass were removed before paint and then the soda blasting began. The interior of the car was removed and the floor pan was sealed and painted black. Before the paint was applied all the steel was sealed and primed and then a PPG triple out white base coat and PPG clear coat was added, the top section of the car is PPG dark tropical teal with PPG clear as well. After the completion of the paint the car was reassembled with new fasteners, weather stripping and new front and rear glass. The hood hinges have been plated as well as the hood latch assembly, the doors and trunk lid assembly have been zinc plated as well. The stainless trim has been restraightened and polished. All the exterior chrome has been replated with a new custom grille and then a set of new tail lenses, parking lenses and head lights. The car sits super low with cut coils and no it is not bagged but has a small helper compressor mounted in the trunk (disconnected) for bags and rides really nice. To finish it off it had a set of Appliance wires with 3" Coker white walls. Moving to the interior of the car it had all new foam and vinyl added. The door panels were cut with new fiber board and all metal interior components were soda blasted and sealed before paint and interior layed. It has a Sony CD player, two 500 watt amps, with two kicker ten inch subs, 2 6x9 speakers. New gauges were installed but it does not have a speedometer it was on back order when interior was installed. The trunk compartment has had a custom trunk kit built where the side compartments open for storage and battery access. The car starts right up and was built for warm California weather with the windows down. The heater works but is missing a cable and the ac needs to be recharged. I never drove this car in the rain or cold so the above items mentioned were not important to me, I had it built for me. If you have any questions feel free to ask and this car is a show stopper and gathers major conversations at any show or while out driving. Buyer to pay for all shipping charges and $500.00 dollar deposit through Pay pal required 48 hours after winning bid. Remainder of Payment maybe cashiers check or wire transfer accepted. But car will not be shipped or released until funds are cleared by bank.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
