1965 BUICK RIVIERA  ***NO RESERVE! HIGH BID BUYS THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR!***

This is a very nice, turn key car. Purchased from the original owners nephew in 1997. Stripped to bare metal & repainted in 2002. The paint work is very nice & still shines very well. The color is absolutely stunning!

Electronic ignition, heads redone, mild cam & trans rebuilt with a mild shift kit in 2010. Newer water pump, master cylinder & battery. It runs strong! When sitting for a while it will leave a couple of spots on the ground from the power steering pump & oil pan. Newer flow master style muffler sounds great! The Odometer shows just under 31,000 miles. Less than 3,000 have been put on it since '97. I know prior to that the car had been stored in a garage for many years. So it may be correct. But I'm not sure.

The body is straight & solid. All of the chrome & stainless moldings are original & in very good condition. Floor boards & frame are solid.

New rear springs & shocks were installed last September.

The interior is in nice original condition. The seats are in very good condition. Dash, door & rear side panels also are very nice. Carpet is getting dull & has a small tear on the driver side front by the kick panel.

All 4 power windows work. The power seat motor works, but sticks on the right track. Maybe one of the cables needs to be replaced or the track greased & realigned. It's far enough back so it wasn't an issue for me & I never looked into it. The power antenna & original am/fm radio work. The tuner & volume give a little static when changing stations or adjusting volume.
 
The clam shell headlamp motor has been removed & needs to be rebuilt. The clam shells open and close manually very easily.

This is a great car! I truly hate to sell it. But I have too many cars & need the space. So I've listed it with No Reserve at an extremely fair starting price.

Please ask all questions & have all funds available before bidding.

I'm happy to answer any questions, assist with shipping & or inspections. Serious buyers only please! 

If you are local & would like to see the car in person. Feel free to send me your # so we can set up a day & time.

Don't want to wait for the auction to end? I will consider Buy it Now offers to end it early.

This car is for sale locally. So the auction could end early if sold. 

Thank you for viewing my listing.

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
