Previously listed this car last fall and the buyer back-out at the last minute. This car is in excellent condition, with only minor wear on interior and exterior as displayed in the pictures. I have performed a few engine and transmission mods., such as larger turbo, front-mount intercooler, 42lb. injectors, 3" stainless exhaust from turbo, back (single-shot). chrome pipes and covers under hood, and cold-air induction. This car has never been driven in the winter and much of its life spent in the garage being stored. It just received its every-spring service with full synthetic oil and is ready to go! The modifications that have been performed are more for show than for strip. I have NEVER raced this car during my 12 years of ownership. If racing is what you want, all the provisions are here to gain 450+ HP with a simple "tune". Multi-stage ECM Prom is installed that allows for a varying change in fuel/ignition/boost management. Original transmission was overhauled less than 3 years ago/300 miles, and a Coan 3200 stall converter (non lock-up) was installed. TE-63 turbo under hood that would allow for 20+ psi. of boost. Currently boosting to 16, additional frame to body mounts were installed as well as body bracing. The engine runs very strong and transmission shifts firm and crisp.
The body is near flawless with only minor scuffs and a few small "parking lot" dents. No body surface rust except for minor rust under drivers carpet/floor pan (see pics). T-tops and all glass are in excellent condition. Minor interior wear to drivers seat and door panel. Sun visors have been removed due to the steel parts being cracked, causing the visors to be loose and not staying in place (Included). Original wheels are in storage and are included with the sale, as well as any misc. original parts. The only know defects are fuel gauge that shows about 1/4 tank less that what it actually has, and clear-coat that was painted on the bumper guards (rear) that is peeling off, and a small dent on the drivers side roof that looks like a hail stone dent (caused by a tree branch that fell). The car was painted just before I purchased it from the dealership that took it in on trade from the original owner, for a new Jaguar. The windows were tinted during my ownership and look real nice.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
