I'm selling this 1966 Riviera formally referred to in the 60’s as the Gentlemen’s Muscle car... Rescued from the Arizona Desert this car has been sitting for years and all I did to get it started and driving was air up the tires, clean the gas bowl and fill it with gas, install a new battery and the car came to life. The body and all the chrome bumpers are is in great shape with no dents or rust. The body has had some minor custom work done by someone in it’s past history like shaving the trunk lid lock as well as the side emblems. There is some sign of bondo cracking where it was used to fill these areas… The paint is peeling from sitting in the hot Arizona sun. There is no rust present in this car anywhere…

The car runs and drives and shifts gears like it should. The air conditioning blows cold but needs work on re-plumbing the rubber vacum lines as they have become brittle and need attention The air ducts under the dash need replaced because they have hardened over the years are very fragil and unravel when disconnecting .The car has power windows all around that work . The passenger side is slow and sticks needing attention. The other windows go up and down and are working better each time they are used..

As to the engine on this car, It’s a 425 Nail head with a tag attached to the head saying it had been rebuilt at one time. There is a small sputtering and annoying exhaust leak but other than that the car sounds good. Once in a while when the car idle drops lower that around 640 to 700 RPM I hear a rattle in the engine compartment but at this time have not figured out what it is but, rev up the engine and it disappears completely and no more noticeable signs of it at any speed .. Other than that the engine seems to run good, does not smoke but still needs work ... The oil has been changed, the gas tank cleaned, the A arm bushings both top and bottom were replaced the front end was aligned, a new alternator was installed as well as a new battery and the interior and exterior was cleaned… The front brake cylinders were rebuilt and all work well . The hidden headlights work ..

The car is missing nothing that I can see except the original wheels. The tires are not in good shape but hold air. The interior is in good shape as can be seen from the photos. The seats are fabric and were sun bleached but with a little black dye on the fabric inserts the black color of the fabric seats came back.. The carpet needs changed out, the dash pad is in fair condition with a small tear on each end and can be repaired with care. The radio works "AM" only as well as the power antenna . . The vertical speedometer works very as it should as does the turn signals and all the lights . Some of the gauges work part of the time and some all the time including the gas gauge but still all of them could use grounding and wiring connection attention as would any car that has sit that long in the desert… The car has two electric fans for cooling the engine. At one time I think that this car was a beautiful custom paint and body combination and some ones pride and joy..

If you have any questions please feel free to email me. I’ll try to answer as quickly as possible.

Thank you for looking

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
