1964 BUICK RIVIERA

THIS IS A VERY CLEAN SURVIVOR WITH ONE REPAINT & COLOR CHANGE (NO RUST REPAIR). I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS A LIGHT BLUE. THIS CAR IS ALMOST TOTALLY RUST FREE, JUST A FEW BUBBLES AND SMALL RUST ON LOWER R. QUARTER (LOOK AT PICTURES CLOSE).

I WAS TOLD THAT THE MILES ARE CORRECT BUT TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THIS CAR IS OVER ON THE MILES. THE ENGINE BAY IS ORIGINAL AND CLEAN (NOT DETAILED), THE FRONT END IS NOT WORE OUT AND VERY TIGHT, ENGINE RUNS STRONG AND SOUNDS RIGHT (NO SMOKE OR NOISES), TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTHLY, AND POWER DRUM BRAKES WORK GREAT!

ORIGINAL INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR BEING 50 YEARS OLD. HEADLINER IS GOOD, DASH IS GOOD (NO CRACKS), PACKAGE TRAY IS GOOD, CARPET, WOOD LAMINATE IN CONSOLE IS GOOD AND EVEN THE BRAKE PEDAL PAD IS NOT WORE. THE DOOR PANELS HAVE SOME WEAR AS WELL AS THE SEATS HAVE SOME SEAMS COMING APART.

ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD ON THIS CAR AND ALL THE POWER WINDOWS WORK GOOD. THE POWER SEAT WANTS TO WORK, BUT ONLY MAKES A CLICKING NOISE (MAY NEED CONTACTS AND GROUND CLEANED). ORIGINAL RADIO, WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS AND EVEN THE SPEED BUZZER WORKS. THE LIGHTS WORK, BUT YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE SWITCH OUT FOR HEADLIGHTS TO STAY ON (MAY NEED NEW SWITCH). TILT WHEEL IN NICE AND TIGHT AND NO CRACKING ON STEERING WHEEL.

HEATER WORKS BUT A/C MAY NEED A CHARGE FROM SETTING. HAS NEW EXHAUST WITH FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS. I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S MANUAL.

NEW PARTS INCLUDE WOOD LAMINATE FOR DOOR PANELS, HOOD INSULATION, TRUNK SEAL, DOOR SEALS, WINDOW FELTS, AND WINDOW SEALS (LOOK GOOD AT PICTURE).

CALL MIKE FOR MORE INFO. 479-238-1122 I CAN ALSO DELIVER THE CAR TO YOUR DOOR FOR $1.50 A LOADED MILE.

Paul Newman's overachieving 'Volvette' up for bid

Thu, Jun 1 2023

For the longest time, it was the ultimate suburban family hauler. But this particular Volvo wagon had a life far beyond the Wegmans parking lots and high school playing fields. This particular 1998 V90 belonged to no ordinary soccer mom or dad, as Paul Newman owned it. Maybe he raced it around the rural roadways of Westport, Connecticut, with kids is tow or to pick up pizzas. The actor, who owned a race team in and out of three decades and racked up four SCCA National Championships, was given the “Volvette” as a surprise gift from one of his teams in 2007, so-called because it was crammed with a 400 horsepower 6.0-liter Chevy LS2 engine and four-speed automatic found in sixth-generation Corvettes from 2005 to 2007. The car, as well as dozens of artifacts of NewmanÂ’s racing career including rings, medals, art, and memorabilia, are on auction currently at RM Sotheby's online: High Speed: Paul NewmanÂ’s Racing Legacy. Bidding closes June 13. The V90 is one of two Newman machines on the block. Estimated winning bid is expected to be $20,000 to $25,000. NewmanÂ’s affection for Volvos dated back some time: his first pumped-up Swedish example was a1988 Volvo 740 powered by a 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 from a Buick Grand National. The car recently sold on Bring a Trailer for $87,777. The middle-child swapped Volvo was a 1995 960 with a supercharged 5.0-liter Mustang V8. Newman famously convinced friend David Letterman to get one (Letterman once co-owned Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing). Quipping that Volvo station wagons were “just as ugly as homemade shoes,” Letterman nevertheless ordered one and went on to rave about it. With upwards of 400 horsepower or more, one such modified Volvo 960 tested by Car and Driver was as fast as a mid-Â’90s Mustang Cobra. The hot-rod Volvo currently on offer accommodates Porsche 911 components in the front end and mods to the driveshaft. Says the auctionÂ’s description, “The exterior was kept unchanged, as Newman was known to prefer a stock look with his Swedish station wagons.” Sadly, Newman had not enough years left to sufficiently enjoy the Volvette. He died of cancer at age 82 a year after it was given to him. Related video: Celebrities Buick Volvo Auctions Automotive History Wagon

GM mulling Chevy Cruze hatchback for US, Buick 'Panamera' among other new models

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've spoken at length previously about the fallacy of poor hatchback sales in the US, and with the runaway success of its Chevrolet Cruze sedan, it's somewhat unsurprising to hear that General Motors is rethinking its decision not to sell an overseas five-door variant in North America as it looks to plug a number of holes in its lineup. GM North American President Mark Reuss admitted during a media luncheon this week that not offering the model "... was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake," says Forbes. With the next-generation model already well-along in development, it's likely that the current Cruze hatch (shown above) won't see US dealers.
Reuss admits not offering the model "was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake"
In what must have been a far-reaching conversation, Reuss hinted at a number of new products for many GM brands, including "a much more beautiful Panamera" range-topper for Buick (which sounds a bit like the line of reasoning the TriShield brand has been pursuing with its Riviera concepts) and a "Ford Transit Connect-fighter" to supplant the recently announced badge-engineered Chevy City Express from Nissan.

Dear America, you don't need as much power as you think

Wed, Oct 4 2023

I recently won a 0-20-mph drag race against a Chevrolet Volt. A day later I smoked a Tesla Model 3. “Um OK,” youÂ’re thinking, “that canÂ’t be that hard.” Well, except that the vehicle I was piloting featured a hybrid powertrain of a Bosch electric motor and 40-year-old human legs. ThatÂ’s right, I out accelerated automobiles on a bicycle. On another occasion, I found myself driving behind my wife in her 2023 Kia Niro EV. The specs say it accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, a time thatÂ’s six-tenths off the pace of KiaÂ’s rear-motor-only EV6, a vehicle IÂ’ve repeatedly read being described as “slow.” The Niro, therefore, must be extra-slow. And yet, as she turned left onto a highway onramp, she rocketed forward leaving me in a Mercedes-AMG C43 and every other car in the left turn lane in the distance. I share these anecdotes not to boast about my cycling ability, nor my wife having a lead foot. No no. IÂ’m crap and she really doesnÂ’t. Instead, I want to point out that most drivers accelerate very slowly. The notion of “bigger is better” will forever be engrained in the American psyche, but when it comes to horsepower largesse, todayÂ’s cars hilariously exceed both the expectations and driving habits of most drivers. Most car buyers just donÂ’t have a frame of reference when it comes to equating 0-60 times, output figures and the actual feeling of acceleration.   Eat my dust, Mr Volt! Now, we in the automotive-reviewing media absolutely share some of this blame. We like accelerating quickly and cars that accelerate quicker are bound to reap more positive reviews. At the very least, weÂ’re obligated to point out when a carÂ’s acceleration is slower than a certain competitor's or the segmentÂ’s average. However, just because Car A is slower than Car B doesnÂ’t make Car A slow. It makes it slower. For example, the dual-motor EV6 may be 2 full seconds quicker from 0-60 than the rear-motor model ­– a relatively massive difference – but barring a back-to-back drive or a wealth of comparative knowledge, itÂ’s laughable to think that the average driver could possibly deem the rear-motor version “slow.” Because it isnÂ’t. The near-universal use of turbocharging, the popularity of all-wheel-drive and increased proliferation of electric motors has resulted in this rapid drop in 0-60 times thatÂ’s outpacing customer expectations and driving habits.
