Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
Up for bids is an extremely rare (only 3354 ever produced) and desirable 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport.
A warehouse find, this car had been sitting partially disassembled for many years. This is a numbers-matching authentic Riviera Gran Sport, all of the components that were on the car when it left the Flint assembly plant are included with the car (except the windshield). This car was originally black with an emerald green interior. The maroon paint has been stripped off, which revealed that the LH rear quarter panel had been replaced very early in the car's life, possibly by the dealership, as it had been leaded in. The rear panel just below the decklid had also been repaired, as there was filler discovered there. The body is otherwise very straight, and the only rust on the car is in the front floorpans, and aftermarket repair panels are included to make the repairs. Trunk floor is perfect, frame is very nice. The Super Wildcat 425 is intact but out of the car, cylinder heads are removed. The correct alloy valve covers and important factory dual-quad manifold and carbs are also intact. All AC components,brackets and mounts are also included. The "super turbine" trans is also out of the car. New parts included in sale are: water pump, front suspension drag link, lower ball joints, shocks, brake shoes and wheel cylinders. All the original interior parts are included. except the carpeting. The car has an NOS Buick headliner. The bumpers are straight but need rechroming, all exterior trim is included. Also included with the car are many duplicate parts: trim items, headlight door motors, grilles, hoods, fenders, etc. Clear MN title.

Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.

Buick GN and GNX will return
2014 Buick Regal GS
Mon, 09 Sep 2013A few months ago I drove the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and wrote up a First Drive review of it. For all of my quibbles with that sedan (and I had a fair number), I understand that it speaks to the heart of what new Buick loyalists like in a car; it's roomy, has a cushy ride and is as placid as a summer's morning at highway speeds.
Those qualities, while undeniably desirable, don't mean a whole lot to me personally. I prefer sedans that conjure up words like "nimble," "punchy" or even "raucous" on occasion. So, directionally, the high-performance GS version of the 2014 Buick Regal is more my cup of tea than any other car in the company's current range.
In fact, I'd already come to know the Regal GS from its 2012 model year introduction, and grown more than a little fond of the sporting sedan in its original front-wheel-drive, six-speed-manual guise. The fast, sweet-handling car with well-sorted controls may have suffered from a slight identity crisis in terms of pricing (and may still), but it was undeniably fun to drive. So, when I heard that the GS was coming to market for 2014 with optional all-wheel drive (albeit only in combination with a six-speed automatic transmission), I was stoked to have another go and concentrated my driving impressions on the AWD car.
