1965 Buick Riviera Dual Quad Gran Sport Clone?? on 2040-cars
Lockport, Illinois, United States

1965 BUICK RIVIERA WITH BUICK DUAL QUAD INTAKE & CARBS. EXCELLENT CAR TO CLONE A GRAN SPORT. THE 4 CORRECT (NEW) EMBLEMS & NEWLY CHROMED DUAL QUAD AIR CLEANER CAN BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE FOR AN AGREED ADDITIONAL PRICE.
This is a turn key car. Get in & drive anywhere. It had been repainted in 2002. Intake & rebuilt carbs were installed in 2012. I purchased it last year to clone a Gran Sport. But I have since lost my job & have too many other cars that need my attention. So unfortunately I have to sell this one. The body is straight & very solid. Paint is in excellent condition. But has a scratch on the the right fender (see photo). Also a small brush touch up spot on the deck lid (see photo). All of the chrome & moldings are very nice driver quality. No rust or pitting on the bumpers. Floor boards & frame are solid! The engine runs very strong & is very responsive. I was told that the transmission was rebuilt (with a mild shift kit) in 2012 when the dual quads were put on the car. This car has a lot of power!! It does have a minor oil seepage from the back of the pan gasket. Also a minor power steering leak from the pressure line. The odometer shows 30850. Which considering the condition & way it runs it very well could be correct. But there is no documentation to back that up. So figure on 130850. The original seats are very nice but starting to show their age. Dash, door & rear side panels are nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small hole on the drive side front. It could use replacing. Headliner had been replaced but it is not the original style. Wood grain on the console is showing it's age. Right rear power window is very slow. Last but not least. The headlamp motor was working but very, very slow. One of the wires to the relay has broken off. So it will need to be rebuilt. This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. I planned on making a GS tribute car. I even bought an air cleaner & had it re-chromed. But I now need the money so all reasonable offers will be considered. I'm happy to answer any questions. Serious buyers only please! No low ballers!! I know what these cars are selling for & what they are worth. I sold my 65 Gran Sport last August for $50k. |

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General 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 recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
