1970 Buick Riviera With Riviera Gs Parts Car on 2040-cars

I am selling this running, driving 1970 Riviera at no reserve.  Included with it is a 1970 Riviera GS which is complete except for its engine and transmission.  Both cars have open Tennessee titles.  The car pictured is the primary vehicle.  Green with green vinyl top and either very dark green or black bench seat interior in poor condition.  Absolutely stock and unmolested.  Only slight rust, the worst being in the floors and the fender skirts.  Stock engine with original air cleaner with stickers still attached.  Excellent set of matching bias-ply whitewalls just recently installed.  The chrome wheels from the GS parts car are currently on this car.  Starts right up and runs good.  Moves and stops but I have only driven it up and down the street.  A restoration project but certainly a realistic one.  The only odd thing about it is that it has an electric fuel pump for whatever reason that is turned on and off by a toggle switch which just lays on the floor.   Works great, but not right.  This car has its original owner's manual, pre-delivery sheet, new vehicle warranty booklet, accessory pamphlet, stereo booklet, and Protect-O-Plate.  Sold new out of Bristol, Virginia.  This is a great-looking and rarely seen old car that deserves to be restored.

The parts car is a 1970 Riviera GS that is complete minus engine and transmission.  It has bucket seats, console, tilt wheel, and even an original Buick 8-track tape player.  Has a title.  All glass is good and all trim is there.  Floors are decent.  Paint is nonexistent.  All in one piece - not boxes of parts.  Its chrome wheels are on the green car and the original Riviera hubcaps are on it now.  Has the original posi-traction rear end which I have been offered $500 for by itself but wouldn't take it.

In this deal you get two cars.  The idea is to make a really cool Riviera GS and have a ton of valuable parts left over.  The only things missing are the center caps for the chrome wheels.  I only have one.  Almost everything else is there in duplicate.  The interiors of both cars are weak but salvageable.

The green car is stored inside my garage and has been for several years. The parts car is under cover and out of the weather but obviously has been outside for a long time previously.
  
I do not think you should even consider driving the green car home as it has not been on the road in many years.  The paint looks better in the pictures than it does in person as I had just washed the dust off it and it is still wet in the photos.  The paint is not very good.

These are remarkably styled cars that you just don't see every day.  Great documentation on the green car and titles for both.  Lots of spare parts.  A GS car with all the GS goodies!  I need to move these cars and I will listen to any offer you may have.  I am interested in old motorcycles and will consider any schemes you might have for you to get these Buicks in exchange for an interesting bike or two you might have laying around.  Let me know.  You can reach me by return email or call or text me at 865-387-0925 if you have questions or if you have swapping ideas.

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
