History 

This 1981 Buick Electra Limited 2 Door Coupe belonged to my late dad who purchased car in 1982. He passed away in 1983 and the vehicle was driven by brother for a year or two. Vehicle was sitting under carport at mother's home until 2006 when she passed away. I took vehicle and had it restored to original factory quality. The vehicle has a clear title. Also, vehicle has never been wrecked.

Description

This is a 1981 Buick Electra Limited Coupe with a half blue leather top. The engine I believe is a 5.01L, 307cid, V8, 4BBL with automatic transmission. The original mileage is 70,094. The Buick has 4 new 20" inch tires and rim purchased from Chico's Detail Shop in Alabaster, Alabama. The Tires, rims, and radio are the only extra modifications to vehicle. 

The low profile tire size is 245/35Z R20 95Y XL. The vehicle is garage kept and is only driven on the weekend to keep battery charged up. It also has a Pioneer Stereo system (Model#: DEH-P31200UB) with Memphis CAR speakers, amplifier and sub-woofer). The vehicle has all original interior such as seats. Headliner and carpet were replaced. 

The vehicle has been factory restored with all original factory parts. This is the original engine and transmission that came in car from factory. A complete maintenance refurbishment was done on vehicle in 2009 where all fluids, belts, and hoses were replaced along with A/C compressor, carburetor, fuel pump, radiator, Timing belt, expansion plugs, water pump, heater core, etc. I have all maintenance invoice receipts.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."
