1955 Buick Roadmaster on 2040-cars
Round Lake, Illinois, United States
|
Up for auction at this time is a pretty-well restored 55 Buick Roadmaster. Within the last year, the car has had a "body-off" paint job, including frame and chassis paint. Car was relatively rust free and straight to begin with, so the super shiny Raven Black paint will not disappoint prospective buyers by revealing any major flaws. Car is owned by local body shop owner, who will entertain the idea of two-toning paint per buyer's wishes. Engine is a totally FRESH 1972 350 Buick, originally from a GS 350, according to the casting number. Engine is .030 over, with a mild Comp Cam, and stock Quadrajet, point ignition, etc. Trans is fresh TH 350, no shift kit, nothing fancy. Rear axle assembly has been updated to a GM 10 bolt. Not sure if it's a posi, or what the ratio is. All machine work on engine performed by local reputable machine shop. Have ALL receipts. Engine/cam has been run the prescribed 30 minutes at 2000 rpm to ensure good cam "break-in." Upon completion of break-in run, oil change was performed. Engine maintains 55 PSI oil pressure at +/- 180' temp. Radiator was flushed and checked by local shop, new thermostatically controlled fan seldom runs. Brand new Quadrajet, plugs, wires, and other ignition parts were installed. Car starts and runs EXTREMELY well....nice driver. Power steering and brakes are functional. So much for all the good news. This vehicle is still a "work in progress." The car is inneed of a little TLC by a loving owner. Nothing serious...little bit of power window tweaking, interior clean-up, etc. The current owner "inherited this classic from a customer who decided that he could not afford to pay for the body/ paint work only after it was DONE! In the meantime, the engine had been delivered to my shop, where work had already begun. Long story short, the current owner has approx. $18,000.00 invested in the car, and would really like to sell it at this point since he really has no need/time for it. Please direct any specific questions regarding body/paint work to Ray @ R & M AutoBody, Round Lake, IL. His number is 847 546 4416. Feel free to submit any questions regarding engine/trans work to this add, and I will answer all as accurately and expeditiously as possibe. Thanks, for looking and Good Luck to all!!

Next Buick Regal to inherit styling cues from Opel Monza concept
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Ever look at a concept car from a foreign auto marque like Opel and wonder what relevance it will have to you as an American consumer? Well, we'll tell you: at least as far as the Opel Monza concept goes, it could mean a lot.
Speaking with Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said, "You will see the Monza when you see the next Insignia." And the Insignia, we needn't point out, is essentially ported over to American showrooms as the Buick Regal.
The relationship between the Regal and Insignia only stands to grow closer as Opel design chief Mark Adams has also been charged with tightening the bonds between the two automakers positioned on opposite shores of the Atlantic. Adams also intends to imbue the next Insignia with more "premium brand values" in order to "add polish to the brand." Which in turn means that the Regal will be designed to look more upscale, too.
