Up for sale is a very clean 1970 Buick Electra 225 or Deuce and a Quarter as they were known for their overall length. Only a minor facelift with revised grille and taillight trim marked the 1970 Electra 225. The big news was under the hood, where a new 370-horsepower 455 cubic-inch V8 replaced the 430 V8 used from 1967 to 1969. This was the final year for the Electra convertible, finned aluminum brake drums and high compression engines. New this year was a concealed radio antenna, which amounted to two wires embedded in the windshield. This car comes equipped with power windows which all work, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top in great shape, off-white/cream colored vinyl seats also in great shape front and rear, tires are almost new with a lot of tread left. Drives like a dream being a larger frame car you don't feel the bumps in the road like the cars of today. Dash lights and headlight/taillights work as they should. Clean engine compartment. I tried to take the best pictures and show you the good and the bad. The good is the paint is in excellent shape with a small ding in the driver's side rear fender area, a very and I mean very small chip out of the left rear taillight, small chip in the molding and that is pretty much it. The top is in great shape, door panels,seating front and rear in great shape, am radio works great, has tilt wheel, just a real clean classic car. If you are looking for something that will turn heads then this is it. If you are expecting something that is 100% perfect then this probably is not the car for you but this is a solid 90-95% car. Has been repainted to match original color so the paint glistens like new. Will come with a clean Missouri title. There is no express or implied warranty, the car is being sold as is. I can tell you this that what I am describing in this ad is as factual as I can be.
Acceptable forms of payment are bank check, money order, personal check or cash. All will have to be verified except for cash. I have been selling vehicles under the Ebay name dodgetruckforless since 2004 and can facilitate an easy transaction for you. This car belongs to a family member so that is why I am selling this under my personal account. You can check both accounts and in either case you will find a 100% perfect feedback rating.

Please keep in mind that I am at the mercy of the shipping company and cannot control how long it takes for them to get you your vehicle. Depeding on how popular your route is will determine how fast you will get it. Sometimes it can take 2-3 weeks for shipping. If you want you can fly into the airport here in St. Louis and I can pick you up if I am available.
I will not accept any type of trade-ins since I am not a dealership.

Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
