NO RESERVE AUCTION!
I am offering for auction my 1963 Buick Special convertible. I bought this car several years ago and have not had time to do anything with it and it is just deteriorating in my yard. This is a decent project car that runs and yard drives, but needs brake work. It has the peppy aluminum V8 which is numbers matching to the car. It has very old gas in it right now and the carburator needs rebuilt, so it is currently running rough. I have let the engine idle for at least 20 minutes and there was no overheating issues. The car needs a new exhaust system and a battery.
The body of this car is pretty solid for its age. The paint appears to be mostly original with the only bondo being a skim coat on the driver's door skin, probably from a crease in the door. There is some rust in the floors, door bottoms, quarters {minor}, trunk, and under the back window as shown in the pictures. I have rust free replacement doors that will be offered to the winning bidder for sale seperately. I also have many other nice parts I bought over the years that I will offer to the winning bidder.
The interior of this convertible needs a cleaning, but is in pretty good condition. The driver's seat and driver door panel are the worst part. The top is dirty but in good condition with one tiny hole where a tree branch fell on it. Back window is clear.
I think this is a fairly easy project that could be on the road by summer with a little time and $$. I have a clear title in my name and will help load on a transporter for shipping. Payment to be by cash in hand or cashier's check. A $100 deposit will be required within 48 hours via Paypal. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time so bid early. I will not accept bids from Ebayers with "0" feedback. Thank you, Barry 301-740-8110.

Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.
Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel
Thu, 04 Apr 2013General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
