 I have a 1966 Buick Electra rare 2 door hardtop ,,most all of these cars were either 4 doors or convertibles ,I started the disassembly of the car and then a man walked up and bought my shop,,, just one of those days he had cash and I wont turn that down soooo here it is for sale
Solid car I took all the seats, carpet ( threw away),door panels(have), glass out of the car ,,I have All the chrome pieces in the trunk that I took off and wrapped up they each are marked on the back where they go on the car so there is no guessing
grill in good shape
tailights good
most all the chrome is there and in good shape just a few pieces missing
rear bumper gone I got one with the car when i bought it but I have since found out it doesnt fit if you want it take it
back window broken when I got it but I have one located and will give info where it is I just hadnt bought it yet
drivers window and windshield need replaced ( found on here on ebay no problem)
the old guy I bought the car from said he parked the car because the harmonic balancer "came apart" and thats the only reason he parked it but upon further investigation after purchase the balancer broke and also broke the timing chain cover housing (again found here on ebay about $150 for both parts )
the motor is a 445 wildcat that will need the carb rebuilt before trying to start but the motor turns freely by hand cranking no problem
has a few dents on one side where he backed his tractor into it
this was a complete car when I purchased it the only reason he sold it to me after 3 years of me asking is because his grandkids broke the drivers window and back window out in the shed it was sitting in so he finally gave in to sell it to me he was the original owner but I DO NOT HAVE A TITLE bill of sale only but its no problem to get a title in mississippi on a car this old
it was inside when I purchased it and has always been inside since I have had it so no rain on this one
I have $2,400 in it as it sets but I am realistic also 

buyer must either pick up or arrange shipping at their cost I will help as much as possible

Buick version of Equinox/Terrain CUV spied testing... with autonomous gear?

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

Let's get the most pressing bits of this story out of the way right off the bat: What we see here appears to be a new compact crossover from Buick. According to the spy photographer, this machine may be a little bit smaller on the outside than the current Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain 'utes, which makes sense since recent rumors suggest GM's small crossovers will migrate to a new platform that will mark a convergence between the automaker's Delta (Chevy Cruze, Buick Verano) and Theta (Equinox, Terrain) platforms. This Buick would likely use this new D2UX platform.
We've been expecting Buick to unleash a crossover to slot between the very small Encore and the very large Enclave, and various rumors have indicated that the model may be known as either the Anthem or Envision. It's worth mentioning that Buick had planned, back in 2009, to release a vehicle in the compact CUV market, but abandoned those plans after a particularly poor reception.
And now for something completely different... Take another look at the spy shots above, and pay special attention to the cylindrical device mounted to the vehicle's roof. We can't say for sure what it is, but our spy photographer opines that it looks quite a bit like the 360-degree Lidar camera equipment used by Google for its autonomous cars. Is General Motors working with Google on autonomous car technology? We don't know, but you can definitely consider us intrigued.

2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Good 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 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.
