6-time National Award Winner - Trophy Magnet - Aaca & Bca on 2040-cars
Syracuse, New York, United States
|
This is an exceptional automobile, typically not found. It's original, with original miles, but new Goodyear tires and belts. Everything works, including the Air Conditioning. No rust, no dents, no scratches. It looks, runs and drives like a new car. The interior is more comfortable than a new car and it rides better.
It's won so many trophies that if I put them all in front of the car, you won't see the car. They won't fit in the car either. Well over a dozen recent trophies are missing from the above photo. They just won't fit without falling off the hood. It's never won less than 1st place in any competition, anywhere, even when judged in a class of national winners. The national awards that this car has won require 5 judges per car, per event! It's been stored in a climate controlled garage it's entire life. It's treated to non ethanol fuel every time it needs gas. There are no issues with the seals. There are NO leaks. Of course there is no rust, anywhere, even underneath. The 6 national awards are: Antique Automobile Club of America 1st Junior Antique Automobile Club of America Senior 2- Antique Automobile Club of America Preservation awards (most recently just 2 months ago). Buick Club of America Silver Buick Club of America Gold Senior These are all 400-point judged awards, where the car must be essentially perfect. This is not HPOF (Historic Preservation of Original Features), where the car only needs to be original, although this car is. This car has a Buick 350 V8 which comes with the original Packard Suppression wires, provided by GM with the Buick V8. These were factory installed and are labeled with the original date code, from 2nd Quarter, 1976. They work so well that there's no need to replace them, even though I wasted money on a new set of Delco wires before learning that the Packard wires were actually original. Obviously all of the dealer documentation is included, along with the window sticker, new car brochures, and many documents that are given only to the dealer, ie: color charts, new car order option check-off sheet, etc. The only reason I'm selling is to thin the herd of classic cars at home. I am not a dealer. This is an exceptional opportunity for the serious car collector. This car needs absolutely nothing. A 2-page article on this car appears in the December, 2012 issue of the magazine of the Buick Club of America. Automatic, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes. |

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
