THIS IS MY BABY, BUT I HAVE TO PASS HER ON. TIMES ARE HARD OR I WOULD NEVER SELL HER. SHE IS ALMOST SHOWROOM PERFECT- NOT RESTORED, BUT WELL KEPT. SHE HAS NEW ORIGINAL PAINT AND CARPET, INCLUDING THE TRUNK AND I SMOOTHED OFF THE FAKE PORTHOLES AND REAR PANEL, ADDING DEEP DISHED CHROME WHEELS. FOR THE PURISTS I JUST HEARD GASPING, IT GOES BACK TO STOCK EASILY! STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WHEELS AND PERFECT COVERS.
AT THE PORTLAND ALL BUICK SHOW A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THEY DEDUCTED FOR MY REPLACED CARPET AND RENEWED PAINT- ALMOST A PERFECT SCORE. IT RUNS OUT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS AND WE COMPLETED THE 400 MILE OREGON TOUR TWO YEARS AGO WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'D DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, INCLUDING TO YOUR PLACE FOR EXPENSES, IF YOU BUY IT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, IT JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES WHICH I WILL ATTEST TO. THERE ARE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SPARE PARTS, INCLUDING A REBUILDABLE SPARE MOTOR, REBUILT TRANS STILL IN BOX, SWITCHES, CHROME, BODY PARTS, LIGHTS, ETC. I SPENT OVER FOUR YEARS COLLECTING THESE INSURANCE PARTS- THE BEST OUT THERE.
THIS IS A REAL PIECE OF AMERICANA, A UNIQUE BIT OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY. THIS IS THE FIRST (ONLY?) STOCK BLOCK AMERICAN ENGINE TO QUALIFY AT INDY, AMERICA'S FIRST ALL ALUMINUM ENGINE, AND COMES TANTALIZINGLY CLOSE TO THAT OLD HIGHLY SOUGHT 'ONE HORSEPOWER PER CUBIC INCH' GOAL- THE '63 MODEL HAD 200 HP! THIS ONE IS 190. I THINK ONE OF THESE DAYS THESE RARE CARS WILL BE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF CHROME MUSCLE CARS, ON A SMALL SCALE. VERY DEPENDABLE AND A HEAD-TURNER, YOU'LL LOVE IT!

2020 Buick Encore GX revealed as a bigger smaller crossover
Wed, May 29 2019The crossover craze has taken root throughout the car industry, but especially at Buick. The company says that 90% of its sales are of the upright utilities. So it's no surprise the brand is adding yet another model to the line-up, the 2020 Buick Encore GX. Despite the name, the Encore GX doesn't appear to share anything with the current Encore, as GM says it uses a new platform. It's also larger than the regular Encore, though it's also smaller than the midsize Envision. One area in which its slightly bigger size benefits the GX is that it has nearly five more cubic feet of cargo space than the current Encore. Other details about the crossover are scant. Buick hasn't even said what engine or transmission will be used. Buick did say the Encore GX will feature automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane-keep assist as standard features, with the rear-camera mirror as an option. The current Encore will continue to be sold alongside the Encore GX, and it won't be replaced with the version shown at the Shanghai Auto Show. Pricing and availability will be announced later, along with other vehicle details.
GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
