Thank you for checking out my classic car, the Buick Limited Edition!  I purchased this vehicle new nearly 35 years ago and have driven it on occasion since.  It is garage-stored and pampered.  The complete repair record is available, although the car has been basically problem-free over the years.  It has a clean, well maintained interior and has also been entirely smoke-free.

 

Seats are crushed velour upholstery.  The passenger seat (which reclines) and rear seats have been seldom used so both have like-new upholstery.  No rips, stains, or holes.

 

The car was undercoated with frequent touch-up applications for minimal surface rust, although there is rear frame rust.  Doors and trunk lid have some small paint chips.  The lower trim behind the front tires has some small dents from the mechanic's hoist.  There is a passenger-side windshield crack.  Dash is in great shape, no cracks or rips.   The hood has lost its pneumatic lift.  The car has a spare tire and jack.  It hasn't been driven since the brakes went out last year.  It has one mismatched hubcap, a loose tailpipe, a small hole in the trunk's tire well the size of a half-dollar, and  broken plastic edging on the seat belt clip.  It also needs a taillight cover, re-tacking of the ceiling upholstery, and perhaps front springs.  One tire is showing wear.  Front shocks were installed new prior to storage and I have a replacement bumper for the rear ready to go.

 

The car has been stored the past 1 1/2 years.  Prior to that it ran and performed well on the road with a great engine by GM, said to be perhaps the best they ever built.  The interior and exterior are both in excellent condition, especially considering the vehicle's age.  It would make a classic parade and show vehicle, or it has many top-notch items as a parts car.

I am happy to answer any and all questions.  If you would like more pictures, I can email them to you.  I look forward to talking with you.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.

Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
