For sale is my 1957 Buick Super Series 56 - R (Riviera) 2 door hardtop

This car was bought out of a barn in the mid west about 2 years ago. It ran the winter before it was parked, missing a battery now. Has original motor and trans and all original interior. the teal and white is the original paint. The body is overall very good with several small rust spots. the surface rust is where paint has been sanded. it has one spot that is sanded and has bondo applied in the driver rear quarter. other then that there doesnt seem to be any bondo, the worst of the rust is in the rear bumper corner, its rotted through on the passenger side but the driver side still appears to be pretty good. I paid someone to rebuild the starter for me, so that should be good. The back tire is flat in the photo but i have a newer tire on there now. The glass is all good, i dont have a crank on the driver door, the seats need re-upholstery. the headliner looks alright too. The trim is mostly all there except on the replacement door and the rear taillight cover on the driver side. These cars are the most rare of this model with these options for 1957 with an exception to the convertible. I have a clear and clean out of state title in hand with the original keys, and no back fees. Its got some parts in the trunk as well, i haven't looked through it but i was told its what you dont see on the body. Its a project, its not just a come out and drive it home. But it is a rare car and a neat old big 2 door hardtop with fins. These care make killer customs, or lowriders. ive seen them as bombs or even as street rods i guess with all the billet and airbags. 

Please dont offer me trades or try tell me how much its going to take you to fix it up. this isnt my first rodeo so youre wasting your time. the car is what it is, and it costs what it costs. if youre not into building a classic car then this isnt for you, i suggest you go buy a PT Cruiser and leave something like this to a person who wants to spend the money or the elbow grease to get it nice. 

All auctions are of course, sold as is where is, no warranty implied. 

I will help hold the car for a while as well so you can arrange a shipper at no added fee as long as we discuss the terms before hand.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.
