1970 Buick GranSport GSX Re-creation This Buick up for auction is a real GranSport that was made into a GSX recreation. It has an original steel framed GranSport Ram-Air induction hood, and has the cool GSX spoiler. These 60's and 70's muscle cars have incredible investment potential, and have been referred to as rolling bank accounts. This GSX look-a-like is powered by a Big Block Buick 455, but is not believed to be numbers matching. Although being an Olds guy, I never learned how to check the numbers on any Buick's. The quadrajet does have the awesome dual snorkeled ram-air cleaner with new foam seals. There is a brand new exhaust system with new chrome tips welded on each side of the rear pipes. This Buick has dual sport mirrors painted to match the body color. It also has the Buick sport steering wheel. The black bucket seats are in very good condition, so they should be nice and comfortable for many years to come. The entire interior looks really pretty sweet as seen in the pictures. The black carpeting is brand new with the extra sound deadening padding, including a brand new set of four black carpeted deluxe floor mats. The console is the infamous horseshoe shifter, and the headliner was replaced. The headliner needs to be stretched a bit still, so I'm going to try and have that finished by the end of the auction. There is a new dash pad as well with a new GSX emblem above the glove box. All the gaskets around the doors were replaced after the car was painted, including the window seal gaskets, and the trunk gasket. The one year only 1970 GS grille is brand new from The Parts Place with the new three piece chrome trim that surrounds the grille, and a brand new GSX grille emblem. There is a brand new pair of Cooper Cobra P235/60R15 inch raised white lettered tires on the front, and P245/60R15 on the rear mounted on 15 inch Buick chrome sport wheels. All four wheels have the proper center caps for 1970. There is a 10 bolt rear-end, but I am unsure of the gear ratio. There is a pair of air shocks on the rear suspension that seem to be holding air nicely. In my opinion I have not seen an undercarriage this clean on a 44 year old muscle car. This Buick has its original floors that look like about a 10 year old car. The frame appears the same way, and the original trunk floor is in very good condition, and was coated with black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct. Inside the trunk is a new trunk mat, and a nicely detailed original jack, and crow bar with a full size Cooper Cobra spare on a Buick sport wheel. This way if there is ever a mishap you can be back on the road in minutes looking complete. There is a full set of wheel opening moldings, and the correct GranSport stainless steel lower rocker cover moldings on both sides. The front and the rear bumpers are both brand new with triple plated chrome, and both rear tail lights are brand new. The power steering belt is not on the car, because I think it has the wrong bracket. That minor issue will be left up to the new owner. What you see is exactly what you get! These mostly complete older classics that have survived for over 40 years are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in this color combination. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide currently has the 1970 Buick GranSport listed at $50,255 in high condition, $19,780 in average condition, and $10,637 in low condition. I personally believe this silver and black beauty is in much better than average condition. I received this car in a trade, and I'm not looking to break the bank on this sale deeming the fact that it is being sold at no reserve. I simply need the funds from this sale to clear up some pertinent bills right away. It is imperative that the winner has the funds to follow through with their lucky winning bid according to the auction guidelines. I tried to place all of the factory decals in the proper places to make this cool classic look the way it would have rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into the recreation of this GSX. Whatever this classic sells for in this no reserve auction is a win/win investment. This Buick is an investment that I believe will continue to rise as these cars have shown to consistently escalate in value. These GM A-Body muscle cars are the finest handling cars I have ever driven. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or may just want to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car at a nominal price. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This car is being offered at "No Reserve" on a 3-day listing. It will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific time, 7:00pm Central time, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. Thank you for taking the time to view my auction. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
