1966 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Kokomo, Indiana, United States
|
This 66 Riviera is a California car that I bought and had shipped to Indiana that I planned to restore. It has the unusual options of A/C and bucket seats with console shifter although the buckets would need new covers, back seat ok. Last year for the Nailhead. I think the engine may be locked up. I put a socket on the crank and was unable to turn it. The car ran great about 18mos ago but sadly not now. I don't feel well enough to give it the time and energy to work on it. It is all there except the air cleaner and an emblem or two is broken. The stainless is all there too. The previous owners brother sat a battery on top of the pass side quarter (see pics) and will need a patch there. The rest of the body is very good including the wheel wells and doors, unusual for an old Riv in this area. It does not have power windows. Crummy radio has been installed but dash face is fine along with all vents and instr. cluster including the barrel speedo. Steering wheel is very nice. Parts are worth more but dont want to use what energy I have to take them off. Hard to find good 48yr old doors , drain holes clear and solid but inner panels aren't great. Lenses are there but old of course. Has perfect 90fin drums, fact mags and decent bumpers. Hard to find operational headlight motor. Floors and trunk are very good trunk does have some rust in spare tire well, extensions are very good. I am getting too old and sick to spend time on it but will part it out if I must. This car should be trailered as I am selling it as not running and questionable brakes. Its almost 50 yrs old so I cannot give any warranty. Have a question? Email or text me, Kris 7653989257. I will not ship it but will assist. Car must be removed within 10 days of end of the auction . I will begin parting it after that. Thank you for viewing the auction. I will accept a check but vehicle cannot leave until check clears my bank. Please check all details on this sale so we have a flawless transaction. Kris

Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel
Thu, 04 Apr 2013General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
