Stunning Frame On Restored. Looks Fantastic, Runs Excellent, Lots Of Options on 2040-cars
College Park, Maryland, United States
|
Restored about 10 years ago, over $25k in receipts. New paint, top, interior including leather inserts in the seats, as it was from the factory. Almost all chrome redone. All mechanical work that was needed was done- things like suspension, steering, exhaust. Engine and trans are original and running great. 401 Nailhead, Turbohydramatic trans. Fully tuned up last year, always garaged since restoration. Won its class in some local car shows, was featured in the Washington Times "Out of the Past" column. Much attention paid to details- clock works, AM radio converted so it has FM. P/W, P/Seat, Tilt wheel, A/C (compressor engages but system has a refrig leak), P/Antenna. Trunk completely redone using correct material. Engine compartment body was painted when car was repainted, the rest is original but cleaned and in very nice original condition. Even has the "Wildcat Power" sticker on the air cleaner housing. Comes with all records of repairs done during the restoration, and photos showing the work that was done. I will also throw in a shop manual. This car is quite stunning in person, and draws a crowd wherever it goes. Correct bronze mist metallic looks super sharp, the chrome glistens, the glass is free from scratches or pitting. All gauges work, and I added water temp and oil pressure gauges to keep a more accurate eye on things. I have taken this car on some 200+ mile roundtrips without a hitch. Yes, she has a good appetite for fuel, but loves the open road and is the fastest full sized car I have ever owned. The 401 Nailhead is a legendary Buick motor that puts out 325 hp and 445 lb/feet of torque. It makes maximum torque at pretty low rpms, which is why these engines were popular in drag racing cars back in the 1960s. This is also the first year that Buick had the Hydramatic trans- what I think is a nice improvement from the somewhat lazy Dynaflow. There are comparably lots of '64 Rivieras around, but this car is rare. I have seen a few '64 Electras at car shows or in the Hershey car corral, but they have always been sedans. The Sport Coupe, with its standard leather buckets and center console, is far more unique. So channel your inner Don Draper- with Mad Men just starting a new season, this is a fine example of American car building at its best during the Mad Men era. Amazing car!! |

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
