In. 5.0 Liter 4 Barrel Quadrajet Carburetor - Air Injection System, Electronic Ignition COMPLETE DESCRIPTION: This Riviera was purchased from a friend in 2013. It was in covered storage for 13 years after the transmission started to slip from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. It had no body damage other than normal small dents and paint oxidation. The rear bumper and door handles have small pin sized chrome pits (see pictures). All the other bright work is in beautiful condition. Only needing a battery and fuel it started. I did a complete check from top to bottom/ front to rear for any future possible problems then replaced and repaired anything needed (except for catalytic converter and cruise control speed amplifier). The front suspension was tightened up with new parts. Being front wheel drive the transmission, differential w/ complete overhaul, bearings and bushings, constant velocity joints, drive axles are ALL NEW PARTS & realigned. New brake pads and shoes were needed and installed new tires all around. The alternator was replaced because it had a slight bearing noise, radiator was also replaced with a new one (it would not hold 13 pounds of pressure caused by a small leak at an upper solder seam). The rear injector valve to the catalytic converter was defective so that was replaced. Needed to replace the muffler (too loud). All the lights were checked and replaced ant bad lamps. The interior of the car was just dust and dirt because the windows were not completely closed. The headliner needed to be replaced because the glue let loose causing it to sag in some areas. The seats )front and rear) were completely disassembled w/ the door panels and cleaned and reassembled. All carpets are new along with front and rear matching floor mats. All power switches were removed checked and cleaned. The windshield has two very small stone chips (center top). Inside rear view mirror was replaced because it appeared to have some haze along the mirror edges. The heater/AC blower was off balance so it was replaced. EXTERIOR: After all mechanical work and interior were completed, all chrome trim, bright work were removed and the chassis and under hood was steam cleaned and detailed with new paint and under coating. All body scratches and dents were repaired back to straight panels then primed for new complete paint. Instead of going to the original paint type I selected a GM 2002 color to closely match the original shade but with a pearlescent tone. (Exterior color is called Antique Bronze) Two days later it was buffed and polished and ready for a car show! (Restoration Class) MAINTENANCE HISTORY History before my purchase is unknown other than the engine was very clean in the heads/block with a very good compression and vacuum test. Replaced spark plugs, oil, A.T.F., anti-freeze, checked power steering fluid, brake fluid, converted R-12 to R-134 Freon. Have all receipts for parts |

Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
