This Buick Wildcat was aquired 5 years ago from the second owners They had owned the car since it was only 4 years old. It was built in California, sold in California when new and has lived all its  life in California before being brought locally here to WA about a decade ago. This is one of those rare condition survivors… a very solid California car, very well taken care of, actual low miles & always well maintained. It has a vintage TOW PACKAGE for you vintage trailer or boat collectors, with heavy duty setup that can tow full sized loads with lots of power and 445 lbs. of torque.

I have had it professionally repainted the factory SURF GREEN metallic paint, in a high quality 2-stage with clear coat paint done by a local shop noted for show cars. The body was ground down to bare metals, all little dents removed for flawless final paint. The paint was a difficult match to get the actual original metallic color of the Surf Green. The final result was stunning! The Surf Green has lots of metallic, and deep silver to a touch of gold hues when the sun hits it. The photos do not do it justice.  I have also recently had the interior fully redone at a professional upholstery shop that also does show quality cars. All new quality OEM padded loop carpets that exactly matched the factory color, professionally reupholstered interior using the very highest quality of materials, a thick Buick Surf Green with cream vinyl pleated inserts. The car also has a new professionally installed OEM textured headliner in off white.

This Buick Special runs and drives very nicely. It has lots of power, handles and drives easily and shifts cleanly through the gears. The factory & numbers matching big block 401 Nailhead V8 engine has had a prior rebuild, with not many miles on it coupled with its fully redone GM Buick 3-speed automatic transmission. The 4-V Nailhead is called the “445” due to the amazing 445 lbs of torque it produces. You can see by the photos that the original air cleaner and all parts under the hood are amazing condition. From the newer radiator, to newer battery, to all new hoses, tune up and belts this car is in top mechanical condition. This is one of those rare cars that will always fire right up, runs smooth and strong and can take you across the country without hesitation. I have had this car on weekend road trips, full freeway speeds and road cruising well over 70mph and this car is amazing. I elected to keep the vintage heavy duty tow package on the car, with hopes of someday having a tear drop vintage trailer to match. Car has the internal adjustable drivers side mirror, full power brakes and power steering… all in good condition. I am a Buick collector and have put later model Buick Rally wheels on the car. I have not yet replaced them back with the original 15” Wildcat rims, which have beautiful new quality all weather whitewall radials. These will be put back on the car with the rare set of mint condition factory Wildcat hubcaps. The second set is available to buyer if desired. Original spare and jack assemblies still in the car. This is a very early production & RARE 2-dr HT Wildcat in surf green!

All exterior chrome are shiny and excellent stainless trims. This car would make a great “Low Rider” or keep stock for weekend car shows, cruisin town or family fun. It always gets a “thumbs up” … “cool car” or “nice car!” wherever it goes. AN INVESTMENT QUALITY & Weekend "SHOW & GO" car that you can drive anywhere & enjoy

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.
