TThis car was owned by a neighbor and she was going to sell it to junk yard for scrap.It needed a lot of work but i thought it deserved a better future so i purchased it and its been a strugle but well worth it in my opinion.The motor is a 1973 350cc that came out of a truck and thats all i know about its history.From here on its an educated quess as to what has been done.After removing the valve covers we noticed how clean and new everything looked but we were having trouble developing power.So we soon relized that the lifters were set for hydraulics when in fact they were solid lifters.Once everything was adjusted proberly boy did we have power.The engine runs and sounds great,it might have a mild cam in it and although i said it had 40,000 miles on it theres a good chance that it is a fresh rebuild with less than 50 miles on it.It has a elderbrock performance high rise manifold,an elderbrock 750 carberator with electric choke,headers,true duel exhaust with flowmaster mufflers,no cats MSD Ignition and and promaster coil.It is a car that is set up to be a street rod.All the computers have been removed and a lot of rewireing was done because of that and critters eating the wires.There are 3 brand new tires on it[p235 160 R15] new headlights,new hood support struts new kick panels and new trunk lock with seperate keys.All lights work including directionals brake back-up low beam high beam running lights interior under hood and trunk.It has new volt meter,oil and temperator and tach there is no speedometer and all guages lite up.Installed diferent seats in the front the driver side is full power the seats do not fold forward but the drivers seat will go forward enougth to allow acess to the back.The neighbor told me that the transmition had been rebuilt it does shift nice the brakes are good and the emergency brake works.The paint is Krylon smoke gray out of a spray can the carpets are so-so there was some rust and thats been taken care of and the body is super strait with no issues.There is no radio but there are speakers in back and all wireing is precent.The heat works good and the car came with air but is missing compressor and hoses.To sum up no mechanical issues no electrical issues and no suspension issues.If there are question either e-mail or give me a call at 575-434-5755.Also it has brand new battery and shocks and the fuel gauge works.You are responcible for shipping[88310]and a $500.00 deposit to paypal right after buying and we'll work final payment out later.The stock seats go with car if you want them.The windshield has a crack on the passenger side that was caused by a bee-bee gun not to bad and its circular and you can't feel it other than where the bee-bee hit.Also all the locks on car work good. |

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
