This is one of those rare finds that you always hear about someone else getting..
It's getting harder and harder to find one of these in this condition. They are usually rusted out, worn out, or beat to death.
===========================================================
This was a California car it's entire life until a few months ago. Zero rust.
Owned by a friends grandfather who left it to him, but this car is just not his style.
Well cared for and has been maintained by professionals always. Full documentation.
This car is like stepping back into the 80's when they were new. It even has that 80's car smell. All the way around it has been well taken care of.
- The paint is excellent - 1 tiny door ding on passenger side - see in pics
- New fiberglass bumper fillers just painted to match and installed
- Glass is all perfect - no chips/no cracks in windshield
- Chrome is all good and still shines
- Tires are like new
- All lights work correctly
- Doors/trunk/hood close perfect
- Landau top is perfect
- Exhaust looks new
- Shocks look new
Interior-
- Excellent condition throughout - 1 tiny wear spot just above power seat control - see in pics
- Carpet is good with no wear
- Door panels, dash, etc are all excellent
- All interior lighting works correctly
- Gauges/dash lighting work correctly
- The AM/FM Radio seems to act a little odd - just the digital display portion
- Non Smoker car
- Split bench w/ armrest
- 6 way power seat - a little noisy but works
- Power windows - driver side hesitates sometimes
- Very comfortable
Mechanicals-
- 3.8 V6 - Pump the gas and hit the key. Starts right up. Needs a couple quick light revs to smooth out
- Automatic trans shifts perfect
- Brakes work perfect - no pull or surging
- Shocks feel tight and new
- Runs at correct temp
- No funny noises or rattles / or smoke
- All hoses/belts/filters appear new
- Quiet exhaust
- I did see a drop of oil when I moved it but the undercarriage is clean. Maybe a gasket starting to go from sitting?
- Power steering quiet and smooth
- Radiator looks clean w/no leaks
- Just converted to R134a AC and blows cold- New pressure switch, clutch relay, fan relay, hi/lo hose assembly, and orifice tube.
I would rate this car a 9.5 out of 10 overall.
It looks like it has been well maintained but has also sat quite a bit. That would also be why it only has 67k miles. It most likely needs to be fine tuned since it was set up to pass California emissions standards. Smells like it's running lean. It comes with a folder full of documentation of everything ever done to the car. I didn't look through all of it but I did see a receipt for a new headliner at some point. And a new top. It is a lot of slips from the emissions tests too. It comes with the original window sticker, the build sheet, owners manual, and even the business card of the salesman that sold it. The spare tire and jack are in place. And it comes with a set of tire chains (in Cali?) that look like they were from the 80's as well. The paint was redone after a parking lot incident. It's a beautiful low mileage car that looks like it belongs on a movie set for an 80's film. It would make a perfect car for someone that loves this body style. These were the comfortable cruiser of their day, still look sporty, handle well, and kept the Buick reliability alive and well.
This is all I can think of.
As mentioned this is a friends car that was from his grandfather who took very good care of it.
I don't believe you will find another one that is in this condition.
I've looked over the car, did a safety check, and a short test drive to insure there wouldn't be any surprises.
It's a great car.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
