1973 Buick Boat Tail Riviera This is A very nice un-restored survivor. It had one repaint in 1988 I am the third owner. The retired gentleman I purchased the car from had known the original owner and the car since it was new It was stored in a garage for 20 years before the second owner purchased it Body panels are straight and rust Free. All sheet metal is original to the car. The grille and front header were replaced in April 1988 due to a deer accent. The car by that time had other paint flaws but no rust so the owner had the full car repainted as he wanted it all to match perfect It was repainted in the original color "Autumn Gold" lacquer paint. GM named this gold but the car is more of a medium green/gold Interior is extremely nice and original. Rare sport interior with console shift. Included is a very rare dealer installed still Working Buick CB radio with antenna in trunk. The carpet appears to have been replaced along with the lap belts All four power windows function. All gauges and lights working. Clock not working The Car has the original 455 V8 and runs and drives well. No engine noise or knocks. It appears every thing under the hood it there including the original and working well air conditioning. Very clean engine and engine compartment. I drove the car in 83 degrees Fahrenheit the day I took the photos and was driving in cool comfort. Transmission shifts well Under body, frame and floors very solid with no holes and only light surface rust The previous owner recently drove the car from Michigan to California and back. On that long drive the car did blow the front passenger side tire and the belts thrashed the fender paint. Please scroll down to see pics. As a result he had new Hankook whitewall tires put on all four corners He also had the dual exhaust and mufflers replaced. The tail pipes from mufflers to bumper were not replaced If you have been closely watching the vintage/classic car market lately, then you will know that un-restored cars can sell for higher prices than completely restored cars. This could be a great investment. With prices of 1960's Rivieras rising, this normally over time will drive the price up of the more affordable early 70's models. A great opportunity to put your money into something you can see, feel and enjoy versus watching your money go down in the stock market or only making .5 percent in CD your money market account I am an honest seller and have sold other vintage cars on ebay and all buyers had no complaints. I have included tons of photos. Make sure to scroll all the way down. I have many more photos posted in listing than the 24 the ebay allows to post for free. Car is available to worldwide buyers.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too
Mon, 21 Oct 2013Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."
