This is a spectacular and incomparable resto-mod version of a rare classic that offers a unique blend of luxury and exhilarating performance. It is a 2 owner car that was purchased in 1993 from the original owner, who gave it only the best of care and kept meticulous records throughout his ownership (Protect-O-Plate, window sticker and dealer invoice come with car). It is equipped with every available option except cruise control, and even has a specially ordered front bench seat and cornering lights. Of the 50,000 Rivieras made in 1969, only about 10%, or 5,000, were ordered with the GS option, which included a heavy duty suspension, performance axle (3.42) and posi-traction. The original 430ci engine has been replaced with a 455ci Buick engine that produces 507HP/540 ft-lbs of torque and runs on 93 octane gas.

Modifications to the engine include the following:

· Block bored .030 over to 462ci (10.5:1 compression)

· Stage II aluminum heads (ported & polished)

· 850 CFM Quik Fuel carb revamped by Gary Williams

· TA 290H performance cam (.508”/.525” lift & .238/.290 duration)

· TA 3000 stall converter

· TA roller rockers

· Ceramic-coated headers

Additional performance/modifications & enhancements:

· B Cool aluminum radiator w/ twin electric fans

· 2-1/2” dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers

· Factory 400 turbo transmission w/ shift kit

· Front disc brakes w/ electric booster

· Air Ride Technologies air ride suspension

· Retractable headlights operated by electric linear motors

· Keyless entry & alarm system

· “Star Wars” air cleaner included ($1000 value)

Body/Paint/Interior/Wheels/Tires:

· The rust-free and laser-straight body is finished in PPG “Cool Vanilla.” The top material is BMW convertible canvas, which provides both an elegant and decidedly refined appearance.

· Excellent stainless, chrome & glass

· Shaved door handles/locks

· Custom interior by “Stitches”

· “MOZ” 3-piece wheels (20”F/22”R)

· Nitto tires

No expense was spared in the building and restoration of this magnificent car. It has won many awards at Goodguys events in Kansas City, Des Moines, and Charlotte. It has also received awards at Kansas City World of Wheels and Devlin-Starbird in Witchita.

Don’t pass up a great opportunity to own a truly beautiful and one-of-a-kind collector car that will give years of endless enjoyment and is sure to appreciate in value.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.

GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
Follow the link to see all the winners and read about why they were chosen.
