1969 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Corsicana, Texas, United States
|
This has been a Texas car since new. No rust issues. I am the 3rd owner. The odometer reads 145,000 miles and is accurate. The 2nd owner bought the car from a workmate back in the 70s and kept it till 2012. At 135,000 miles he did a major rebuild on the motor and trans in 1988. In 1992 he had the car repainted with basecoat/clearcoat and had a new vinyl roof installed. The car was then stored in his garage for 20 years until I bought it. The paint still looks like new. There are 2 minor scratches on the very front of the rf fender when he backed it out of his garage. The bumpers still look great and all the trim is in good condition. The interior is original but could use replacing. It still shows well but replacing it would make this a great looking vehicle.The dash is intact as the new stereo system was installed without cutting the faceplate area. Also the rear speakers were installed in the original location and the rear deck was uncut. The front speakers were installed in custom front kick panels.The carpet and logo floor mats are new. The front suspension has been redone, all new shocks and rear coil springs done. The driveshaft has been rebalanced. I have replaced the steering gearbox.master cylinder,distributor,plug wires,front brakes have been overhauled,(new rear shoes in trunk). The a/c system has been gone thru and works fine. We enjoyed the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour last June. Drove 3200 miles in 8 days without a problem.The tires have 5000 miles on them and 1 wheel center cap is cracked by the tire shop but is available online. One bit of trivia is the fact that we got 13 miles per gallon on the tour when all I expected was 10 (log book in glovebox). This car draws compliments very time we stop for gas cause people rarely see them. With a little investment this is an outstanding car for the money. Required from the winning bidder is a 500.00 non-refundable deposit due through PayPal within 24 hours of the auctions close, balance due in cash or by cetified cashiers check within 7 days.Shipping costs and arrangement are the buyers responsibility and we reserve the right to terminate the auction early. |

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions
Sat, 01 Mar 2014With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."

Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
