I bought her 7 or 8 years ago. I'm sure everything is legit on the car (numbers match etc). The guy who installed my new top told me that the 104,000 mileage was "NOT" rollover because the interior was original. I replaced the top and the top motor (a hydraulic line is leaking right now). I replaced the windshield and I had the transmission overhauled less then 5000 miles ago. No rust from what I have been able to see. Car has stayed in my garage since I've owned her. I put in a 12 disk CD player and new speakers, oil pressure, temperature and battery gauges. Oh, had an air condition guy look at it...The compressor is fine but the air conditioner needs some kind of internal switch (he said 300 dollars). The car has electronic ignition, no points or condenser. The carburetor was rebuilt less then 1000 miles ago. The electric windows work slow but okay but the electric wind wings do not. I'm not sure, I think the electric seats work two out of the three directions. I replaced one of the two cornering lights and sockets/frame. I put in a heavy duty double fan for parades and I went to duel exhaust. The rubber (doors, windows and top) needs replacing (car leaks everywhere during rain). The tires are very good, almost new. I also like the fender skirts. The handbook is the original. I Believe the car originally (in 1965) belong to a doctor in Oklahoma. I learned from research that there are approx. 60 of these cars left (1965 Electra convertibles) and that mine has many rare factory options such as the cornering lights, wind wings and factory cruise control. The asking bidding price is really, really good, too good, so I have been told. I haven't started her in 6 months but spray the carburetor and charge the battery and she starts right up.

Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
