1971 Third Generation (1971-1973) "Boat Tail" Riviera 1971 was the first model year of the dramatically redesigned third generation Riviera model. The "Boat Tail" design was inspired by the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray split window coupe. The 1971 Riviera model featured a unique louvered trunk design ("Full-Flo" ventilation system) that was not available on later models. The 455 CID V8 Engine was rated at 335 HP while the car has impressive performance despite it's size and weight. Great driving car for long distance car show enthusiasts. This is a fantastic example of a true survivor car. I purchased this car 2 years ago from it's original owner.Replace the heater core & carpet with a kit,flushed all fluids and replace all filters,transmission fluid and filter,spark plugs,wires,rotor,cap,air filter. The interior is amazingly clean and it still has the original factory installed 8-track radio.Everything works all power windows,horn,key buzzer,int courtesy lights,trunk light, No cracks on the dash or rips on the headliner.very nice vynol top.The car is stock and runs and drives like a new car. The engine is the factory 315hp 455 ci V8. 43,825 original miles I was told. It has a small exhaust leak coming from the right manifold, maybe a doughnut or gasket. The AC system worked a few years ago but needs to be charged now. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10 and the factory paint is a 7 in my opinion.Drivers bottom seat has a split in the seam,rear bumper on passenger side has a little blemish/dent,In front of passenger rear tire theres some bobbling at the bottom. It is very solid and rust free and I showed the car at local shows last summer,but the paint is not perfect. Glass, chrome and rubber are very nice and the pictures don't lie. |

Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
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.
