1973 Buick Riviera Green Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
Up for sale is my 73 Riviera with 53,000 miles. The previous owner rebuilt the 455.4 engine, who at the time owned a local speed shop. I threw in some upgrades after 1 bought the car such as, Kenne bell aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, Hoolley 800cfm. carburator, Mallory unilite ignition, MSD.
Coil + Wires and Holley rechargeable air filter. The car also had timing chain and sprocket replaced. The transmission was also completely rebuilt back in 2006 and shifts smooth and has plenty of torque (373-rear end gears installed) at time of rebuild.
All of the brake system was replaced except for the power booster, this heavy machine stops better than some new cars 1 have driven . The exterior which is very clean and straight was originally willow mist green, I had the car repainted with a DuPont 2 tone irodecent green gold paint that really pops and always turned heads, (jambs not painted) The interior has bucket seats with shifter on the floor.
The back seat has a small tear as does the passenger door armrest, the dashboard has a crack in it but I have a spare, overall very clear for just about 40 years old. There are a few things to list that I never got around to fixing. 1. the car has factory A/C - not working 2. cruise control not working 3. smart- track option not working 4. the car had the factory moon roof (extremely rare) installed which probably only needed new tracks, but the last owner decided to install a new vinyl top and headliner instead of fixing it (what a DUMBASS). Also being that this is an east coast car the trunk pad has some rust that I wanted to replace, trunk has no spare being it was wired for sound system.
Overall this is a clean strong running Bobtail that has been garage kept since I bought it and only driven in good weather, I put about 12,000 miles on the car since engine and transmission were done.
You can turn key and drive it away no problem. I have a bunch of spare parts to go with the car including original intake, all the glass except for front windshield, a bunch of trim pieces, dashboard, and a trunk lid.
I have described this car the best I can, if you have any questions please ask, thanks and good luck.... Tommy; 239-384-0229 |

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 shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
