1972 Buick Riviera Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Goleta, California, United States
|
No reserve auction of a solid original 1972 Buick Riviera with a high performance 455 motor that appears to be rust-free with no evidence of accident damage. The engine looks to be recently rebuilt with Edelbrock performance parts however no records are available. It starts up right away and sounds strong. It has an inexpensive-black paint job that retains its shine and looks good from 25 feet away. Interior is re-dyed white with a failing dye job.
A previous owner installed heavy duty wiring with an array of gauges, including two alternators, two batteries and two ammeters. Looks to have been wired for a heavy-duty stereo system. Some of this appears to have been partially removed when the prior stereo system was removed so plan on spending some time sorting that out. Known issues are: missing rear trunk latch, front bumper is bent, one headlight missing, minor trim issues. Tires are worn and will need replacement before long. Appears to be rust-free with no evidence of accident damage. With a little work this car could be really presentable hot rod. I took this car in trade a couple weeks ago on a Lancia Appia Vignale restoration project and need to move it along - so I am highly motivated. It has a valid California title. Would trade up or down for vintage Abarth, Siata, Moretti projects or parts. On Aug-01-14 at 22:13:12 PDT, seller added the following information: It has been pointed out by someone more knowledgeable than I that the engine is a Pontiac motor not a Buick based on the location of the distributor and the style of the heads. |

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats
Wed, 02 Apr 2014The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.
NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
