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!

Next Buick Regal to inherit styling cues from Opel Monza concept
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Ever look at a concept car from a foreign auto marque like Opel and wonder what relevance it will have to you as an American consumer? Well, we'll tell you: at least as far as the Opel Monza concept goes, it could mean a lot.
Speaking with Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said, "You will see the Monza when you see the next Insignia." And the Insignia, we needn't point out, is essentially ported over to American showrooms as the Buick Regal.
The relationship between the Regal and Insignia only stands to grow closer as Opel design chief Mark Adams has also been charged with tightening the bonds between the two automakers positioned on opposite shores of the Atlantic. Adams also intends to imbue the next Insignia with more "premium brand values" in order to "add polish to the brand." Which in turn means that the Regal will be designed to look more upscale, too.
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad
Fri, 05 Jul 2013European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.
