1970 Buick Riviera Gran Sport, this car is equipped with a very powerful 455 cubic inch engine which has more torque than the hemis that were used by Dodge in 1970, this car
is a true Gran Sport, less than 3600 Gran Sports were built in 1970 and this body style was made only one year so that makes this car fairly rare, it is in good running condition,
the engine is strong and fast, the transmission shifts great, it does have some play in the steering, the steering box needs to be replaced (I have a replacement, it just needs to
be installed), it has dual exhausts which sound great
the body is in pretty good shape, there is no exterior rust or dents, the frame and floor pans are solid, there is some surface rust in the trunk, but no rust holes, as
you can see in the pictures, the headlight bezel is not attached, I do have a headlight bezel for the car (see picture), I am just waiting for the screws and clips to
be shipped, they should be here in a matter of days, also the reason that the driver's side skirt is not attached is because it needs a post installed on the inner
quarter so that it will fit securely, it can be attached now and will stay on but, I didn't want to take any chances so I took it off, both bumpers are in good shape,
the back bumper has a small amount of corrosion (see picture)
the interior is in good original condition, the driver's seat has separated along some of the seams, the passenger and rear seats are in good shape, the dash does not
have any cracks in it, but some of the material around the gauges has came unglued (see picture), the carpet is in pretty good original condition, both door panels
are in good shape, a trim piece that goes around the driver's side inner door handle is missing (see picture), the headliner is in pretty good shape with NO rips or
tears
I have owned this car for almost three years, it has been garaged since I have had it and driven only periodically on dry spring or summer days, I believe that it
was a southern car based on the condition of the body, during the fall and winter months when I go out to start it, it always starts up very easily, even on the coldest
days, the car does have air conditioning, but it does not blow cold

Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
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.
