This car started life out as a 1971 Buick Skylark Convertible, and underwent a complete frame off restoration about 6 years ago and 5 thousand miles. The original 350 was tossed to the curb, and a completely freshened finely tuned 455 was put between the fenders. Next the original TH-350 transmission was chucked in favor of a reworked TH-400. FInally, the rear end was completely gone through drum to drum. The car is as clean underneath as it is on top. The motor fires right up and purrs like a kitten, trans engages solidly, and braking is effortless with the power disk/drum setup. The front and rear suspensions were completely rebuilt and detailed.

The body was was massaged and blocked to perfection, followed by a finely sprayed DuPont Base coat, GSX stripes were added, and the car was layered in clear, and color sanded to a mirror finish. The paint today appears as it did when it was first layed down, with not a scratch on it. All chrome trim was replaced as well as the bumpers were triple chrome plated.

The interior was refurbished with new seat foam, as well as fresh OEM type upholstery. The power window system was gone through and checked out. The power top works effortlessly, with a new, professionally installed convertible top with a glass rear window.

The car has factory OEM chrome rally wheels, which show very well. The rims are wrapped in BFGoodrich radial tires, which like the rest of the car has approx 5-6000 miles on them and almost 90% tread remaining.

Overall, the car in impeccable condition, and is 100% reliable and everything works as it should. The engine starts right up and sounds as fresh as the day it was installed. The car drives straight and is a pleasure to go anywhere in, any day, any time.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
