1965 Buick Riviera Dual Quad Gran Sport Clone?? on 2040-cars
Lockport, Illinois, United States

1965 BUICK RIVIERA WITH BUICK DUAL QUAD INTAKE & CARBS. EXCELLENT CAR TO CLONE A GRAN SPORT. THE 4 CORRECT (NEW) EMBLEMS & NEWLY CHROMED DUAL QUAD AIR CLEANER CAN BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE FOR AN AGREED ADDITIONAL PRICE.
This is a turn key car. Get in & drive anywhere. It had been repainted in 2002. Intake & rebuilt carbs were installed in 2012. I purchased it last year to clone a Gran Sport. But I have since lost my job & have too many other cars that need my attention. So unfortunately I have to sell this one. The body is straight & very solid. Paint is in excellent condition. But has a scratch on the the right fender (see photo). Also a small brush touch up spot on the deck lid (see photo). All of the chrome & moldings are very nice driver quality. No rust or pitting on the bumpers. Floor boards & frame are solid! The engine runs very strong & is very responsive. I was told that the transmission was rebuilt (with a mild shift kit) in 2012 when the dual quads were put on the car. This car has a lot of power!! It does have a minor oil seepage from the back of the pan gasket. Also a minor power steering leak from the pressure line. The odometer shows 30850. Which considering the condition & way it runs it very well could be correct. But there is no documentation to back that up. So figure on 130850. The original seats are very nice but starting to show their age. Dash, door & rear side panels are nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small hole on the drive side front. It could use replacing. Headliner had been replaced but it is not the original style. Wood grain on the console is showing it's age. Right rear power window is very slow. Last but not least. The headlamp motor was working but very, very slow. One of the wires to the relay has broken off. So it will need to be rebuilt. This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. I planned on making a GS tribute car. I even bought an air cleaner & had it re-chromed. But I now need the money so all reasonable offers will be considered. I'm happy to answer any questions. Serious buyers only please! No low ballers!! I know what these cars are selling for & what they are worth. I sold my 65 Gran Sport last August for $50k. |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
