I'm the third owner of this well taken care of original Riv. I inherited the vehicle in 2012 and contemplated building a pro touring car. However, that has never materialized and the wife wants her garage spot. This Buick is in good mechanical condition, runs well and does get a lot of compliments when I take her out. I have heard several stories of one's parents owning one and them remembering how much fun it was to drive around. It's becoming a rarity to see these, I believe a significant number of them have been used for demo derby's or met their fate at the wrecking yard for scrap money. This would make an excellent base for building a cool and unique custom or could easily be driven as is for a daily if one were to prefer. The Good: Runs and drives well, the seats are really comfortable to sit in, interior is in really nice condition, maintenance as far as belts, hoses, spark plugs, tires, brakes, fuel lines have all been kept up with. All original, unmolested 1975 with low mileage that would be outstanding with a new paint job. Pretty much loaded with all available features. The Bad: To me personally the paint is old and faded in areas, minor dings, surface oxidation and areas that need touched up. Rear bumper fillers were falling apart and removed (brackets & nuts retained). Trim for Landau top around the side windows doesn't look that great (retained and in the trunk). Vacuum controlled diaphragm that controls heat temperature not fully actuating (On cold setting it is still warm). 8 Track player only plays through one speaker. The Details: Original Car Invoice, Warranty, Owner manual and consumer information Included along with the GM Factory production order - chassis - paint. Purchased new on 6/22/1976, model "4Z87T" with the following options: AM-FM Stereo Radio-Tape, Pwr Antenna, Whitewall tires, Positive Traction Differential, A/C, Cornering lights, Speed Alert Trip odometer, Pulsating wipers, tinted glass, Electric rear window defogger, Four note horn, rear bumper guards, door guards, sport mirrors remote control R & L, Carpet Mavers? & Handy Mats, Pwr Seat 6 way, Door courtesy & Warning lamps, Lamp monitors front & rear, cruise master, electric trunk release, electric door & seat locks, lighted mirror, chrome wheels, protective moldings body side, accent stripes, trunk trim carpet, sun roof - electric, Special GM Paint, Landau Top, Custom Leather Trim. Color - Canary Yellow w/Black Vinyl Top. Trim - 968 (From my research the black leather was not an available option). Production Order is from the factory and includes detailed information regarding the production line number, body serial #, Model info, sheet metal, wheel, Fan, options, exh, tires, axle, engine, speedo, trans, springs, shocks, frame, pulleys, belts, wiring harness, paint and the internal vehicle identification. As is this is a fun car to cruise around in, it has an expansive interior and with the sunroof open and the windows down it is just a fun vehicle to drive. I wish I had a pole barn to store this in to get it out of the garage but I don't so I hope it can go to a good new home. Let me know if you have any questions I may not have answered. Thanks for the interest. |

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
