1966 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT COUPE!

Finished in "Burgundy Mist" metallic over burgundy, this splendid 50 YEAR-OLD classic shows just over 23,000 miles
on its working five-digit odometer. The actual miles is believed to be 123,000 but I cannot 100% verify this to be
true. So with that being said, you are looking at an exceptional Gran sport coupe! This 99.9% clean, dry rust-free
specimen features a great running 425 cubic inch V8 engine mated to the factory automatic transmission, bucket
seats, ALL NEW WORKING A/C with updated 134R refrigerant, original am radio plus glove-box mounted Panasonic
cassette stereo, special ordered roll-up windows, factory 15" alloy wheels and custom California license plate,
This classic Riv just received......within the last 500 miles...$11,000 in mechanical servicing at a renowned Bay
area service facility ready for driving anywhere. Highlights of the recent service include: rebuilt power steering
pump, new starter motor, new battery and cables, new fuel pump, transmission mounts, new ater pump, thermostat,
hoses, clamps and belts, rebuilt carb, new ignition coil and control module, all new gaskets, new timing chain, new
upper and lower ball joints, control arms and bushings. This big beautiful cruiser is being sold with clear and
clean California title and maintenance records.

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in EXCELLENT, VERY NICE DRIVER-QUALITY condition throughout! The paint has a deep
lustrous shine to its finish with nice original contrasting chrome and trim pieces. The paint was refinished many
years ago by the previous owner and still presents well. I would rate the exterior of this car a solid 7.5-8 on a
scale of 1-10. Imperfections include some pitting on the original chrome and trim, light scratches, some rock nicks
and paint nicks and other minor blemishes. While a notch or two away from concourse quality, this is a beautiful
sunny driver that would present well at any classic car show.

THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this car is in excellent condition throughout....very
good seat upholstery, nice headliner, original steering wheel, virtually PERFECT vinyl dash, nice door panels,
working odometer and groovy dial speedometer, cold air conditioning, good heat, nauge works and the auxiillary ice
classic stereo, working lights and blinkers. The factory temp gauge functions, the horn and factory am radio are
inop.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Buick starts perfectly, runs very well with excellent torquey acceleration, smooth shifting automatic
transmission, superb braking with excellent power brake feel, buttery smooth steering and supple suspension and
smooth power steering. Overall this is one beautiful half-century old cruiser that garners attention everywhere
you drive it!

38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.

Buick Electra-X concept teased for Chinese audience

Tue, May 31 2022

Buick is about to show its largest market, China, how the brand does an electric vehicle specifically for that clientele. The Tri-Shield released two images of the shark nose that will grace its Electra-X concept, a follow up to the Electra concept that debuted at the Auto Beijing in 2020. Instead of the 583-horsepower, high-riding, thick-bodied fanciful sedan of yore, the Electra-X should be a much more production-ready version of what Chinese buyers can expect. Buick China said that "The Electra-X concept takes Buick's innovative thinking and imagination of future electric mobility to the next level. It is designed to provide a safer, smarter and more desirable EV experience, building on Buick's deep understanding and insights of local consumers toward electrification and intelligent driving." This will be a different vehicle than the "groovy" EV concept Buick showed its American audience in February of this year, although there are similarities. Buick China also said of the Electra-X that it is "defined by the brand's all-new design language" that embodies "distinct and forward-looking styling, along with an airy interior." Another design trait will be slim, sloping DRLs, seen on the Chinese and U.S. concept teasers, with slight differences. The Asian market can also expect minimal surfacing, an ornate grille treatment, side mirror cameras, and trim A-pillars. Tech-wise, Buick says the Ultium-based product will come with Super Cruise and its Virtual Cockpit System. The China debut happens next month at 2022 Buick Brand Day. Our groovy EV debuts this summer, the automaker planning to have two electric vehicles in U.S. showrooms by the end of 2023. The Electra-X could give big clues about what's headed our way.

Junkyard Gem: 1964 Buick Special sedan

Sun, Dec 2 2018

During the 1960s, the most mainstream possible vehicle for American streets was a GM-built sedan, either a full-sized B-Body or a mid-sized A-Body. These cars flew out of showrooms by the millions during the decade, and the angular 1964-1967 A-Bodies (including everything from the affordable six-cylinder Chevrolet Chevelle to the maniacal Pontiac GTO) remain sought-after by collectors to this day... provided that they're two-door hardtops. The post sedans just don't get much attention in 2018, and that's why this fairly solid 1964 Buick Special sedan didn't get rescued on its way to this sorry fate in California. Its final days before it washed up in this self-service wrecking yard, nestled between GM iron a third its age, some used-car lot failed to get $1,199 for this '64. The interior looks good, much better than what you'll see on most unrestored cars with better than a half-century on the calendar. If this car had been a Skylark two-door hardtop, its story would have had a happier ending. The decklid suffers from the kind of rust that California cars get when they sit outside for decades and the weatherstripping goes bad, and then someone at the junkyard pried it open to look for trunk goodies. There's likely to be more rust under the window trim, too. The engine was long gone by the time I got here, but it would have been a 225-cubic-inch V6 or a 300-cubic-inch V8 when new. The upscale 1964 Skylark was the same car, mechanically speaking, but it a more luxurious interior and snazzier body trim. The car that follows the fun anywhere... and above all, it's a Buick!
