1968 Buick Riviera Hardtop 2-door 7.0l, 360hp, Classic on 2040-cars
Steilacoom, Washington, United States
|
This car is beautiful for it's age. 1968 Buick Riviera with a little over 20,000 miles (no way to know for certain, but I assume it has turned at least once) as far as I can tell with the documentation I received. It has a 430-4, V8 "Big Block" engine that pushes 360hp. I have the stock rims and whitewall tires on hand if the future owner requests them, but opted to upgrade them to their current look. The car has been detailed extensively and the craftsmanship has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. The paint is original, but has been repaired over the years. The body is free of rust holes and is in remarkable shape. The engine has a new radiator, new brake drums, all hoses flushed, new battery (starts every time), new shocks, new wheel cylinders, new hoses and spark plug wires, just to name a few. I am not interested in dealing with anyone not willing to travel to my location or willing to ensure full payment is made before shipping the car. Clean title in hand to a serious bidder. She runs strong with minor cosmetic issues only. The interior is in awesome condition. The 1968 Buick Riviera was luxury American Muscle in it's day.
Do your own research on these. There are ones online that are in an unrestored-state for under $10,000 from time-to-time, but with those, you would still have to put up the money to get the mechanical condition of the car up to par as cars this old are prone mechanical problems. The car is 46 years and this one has a fully functioning mechanical system that has been professionally inspected and repaired. If you want an American Muscle Car that gets heads to turn, then this is the car for you. Call Jeff if interested. **Also, I have all the repair manuals for all Buick models in 1968. I purchased this disc that has the 1968 Body By Fisher repair manual as well as the services manual. This is all a person would need to attain part numbers and to make minor to large fixes by yourself. This can save tons of money on repairs for these older cars and makes it a challenge to track down replacement parts; kind of like a treasure hunt! New parts: *New Tires w/ Rims *New Brake Drums (all 4) *Replaced Shocks (Rides like a muscle car, not a boat) *New Radiator (with new hoses) *Replaced Power Steering Pump *Newly painted hood (no dents or rust) *New Spark Plugs and Custom Wiring *New Kicker 6x9 speakers (rear), and dual 2.5 speakers (front) installed *(Radio is an older cassette deck but has an adapter for hooking to any MP3 device so the sound is good quality) *All leather interior has been treated *New interior carpet installed (I am an amateur, so this is not a professional job, it still looks good) *All chrome has been treated and polished *Engine growls like American Muscle should *New air filter *All interior vinyl has been treated *New headlight air hydraulic lines installed (These headlights flip up and into the body when not in use and are in perfect working order which is rare due to the age) *All wiring has been verified and all lights work properly *New starter and ignition system *New battery and new connections *The trunk has been stripped to bare metal and sealed |

Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
