This cool old Buick is up for auction from Cookeville TN. This was located since the Mid 80's in a shop that bought it when the transmission quite working. Then the new owner pulled all the carpet out when he was worried about floor rust. Fast Forward to 2012 when we seen this car still in the old shop pushed against the wall. We bought the vehicle to restore has we are the owners of a full service resto shop in Cookeville. Our 12,000 square foot shop is full of vehicles and we decide to make some room for customers cars. Our intent was restore and modify into a cool cruiser. We have purchased a low mileage 500 Cadilac motor and turbo 400 trans from a 75 Caddy that is not part of this auction, but could be purchased separetly. The 445 Wildcat motor is said to be a 325 HP 401 Cubic inch Nail head and is believed to be original to the car. The car body is solid and the under side appears to be just surface rust. The passenger side floor next to rocker is weak with rust but rocker look strong. By the rear pillar on the drivers side has small rust holes. There is some rust on bottom of rear quarter panels and a rust hole in front of rear tire on both sides. The frame is solid and that includes over rear wheels. The body was undercoated long ago and looks like it kept the underside in great shape There are more pic's of this that i can send if you call and give me your email address.  All of the stainless trim is with car and front trim on lower hood is in truck with door sill plated and heavy aluminum turbine and spinner hub caps. There are also extra parts that came with car including extra grill, fenders and front bumper. There is also extra complete dash instrument cluster. Unbelievable how much the cluster weighs. This GM car is a radical and rare body style that is awesome when compared to the "yawn" Tri-Five offerings from Chevy or the other GM product lines. This car is long, sleek, low and shows real engineering artistic design. Oh, it has Fins. Big fins!. The odometer shows 56003 miles. It has been park for 25-30 years. There is a clear West Virgina title.

 

Car is shipped out of Cookeville TN. Car can be restored to new owners taste right here in our shop to what ever level is desired. Any questions or comments will be answered by eBay email or call 931-432-6377    Be realistic in your bidding.

Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 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.

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.
