For your consideration is a beautiful 1962 Buick Special Convertible. What makes this super rare vehicle even more collectible that its’ equipped with the factory numbers matching 215 Aluminum V8 (155 H.P) engine and mated to the original 2 Speed Buick Automatic Transmission. I acquired the car from the grandson of the original owner who purchased it new, so it was a one family owned car. It drives and rides straight down the road. Very smooth, handles extremely well for what it is, and easy to drive for a man or woman of any size. Short or tall, it is an enjoyable ride. I am 6’3”, and fit comfortably with the top up or down.

Restored and updated in the mid 1990’s with one repaint. The paint shows very well and still retains much depth and shine. All of the stainless and chrome are in good condition, free of pitting or rust. The front and rear bumpers are presentable, but could be sent out for re-chroming to be perfect. I did get a price of $750 for the pair. The Power convertible top works, moves up and down as it should, and shows well. There are two spots on the top where it must have rubbed from storing the vehicle with the top down. It does not leak, but is visible. The interior was replaced in the 1990’s as well, and looks great. No rips, tears, or issues.  All of the gauges, interior and exterior lights, blinkers, brake lights are functional. Even the original AM Radio works! The clock on the dash does not work at this time.

The Buick appears to retain all of its original sheet metal, floors, trunk pan, etc. It was a southern car its whole life, so it has been preserved well. The undercarriage is clean and straight. Free of rust, bubbles, holes, or issues. The 4 bbl carburetor has just been rebuilt, along with the brakes. The suspension and shocks have been upgraded at some point over the years. Tires have less than 1,000 miles. Last weekend I took the car on a 200 mile trip and I got 20 mpg on the highway! Overall, it is a step up from driver quality condition, but not a 100 point show car. It is turn key, drive home today, ready to enjoy. It needs nothing to take to a local car show and win a trophy. Or take grand kids for ice cream.  At this price point, it’s a tremendous opportunity to get into a classic convertible at a price that doesn’t break the bank!  I have many more photos that can be viewed on a website. Email for the the link or give me a call for more info 610-763-8277.

I encourage & welcome pre purchase inspections. I will work with your inspector, appraiser, mechanic, etc to make you feel comfortable with your purchase. Vehicle is sold AS-IS, NO Warranties Expressed or Implied. I have a clean clear title for this vehicle. If you have less than 5 feedback, please email prior to bidding. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Don't assume anything. This is a legal binding contract. If you are the winning bidder, you are obligated to complete the purchase. You are not bidding on the opportunity to come and look at the vehicle and decide if you want to purchase the item! Also, please have all financing or funds in place prior to bidding. In other words, ask your wife first!! $1,000.00 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction close. Balance due within 7 days of auction close. PLEASE NOTE: If you pay by a certified check, vehicle WILL NOT be released until funds have cleared my banking institution!! Which typically takes 7 days.

I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback!

Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, 32118. Minutes from major route 95 on the northeast coast of Florida. 10 minutes from (DAB)-Daytona Beach International Airport. 70 miles to (MCO)-Orlando or (SFB)-Sanford International Airports. Fly in and drive it home!!

I will assist with selling worldwide, but payment and arrangements are buyer’s responsibility. I have used several shipping companies in the past, and can recommend shippers to contact, or can be arranged right through ebay and their recommended carriers. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info.

I do not send second chance offers!

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
