1969 Buick Gran Sport 400 Convertible on 2040-cars
Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States
I have owned this car since 2003. Restored to be very close to stock. This is an original triple black GS 400 - it currently has a Buick 430, but I do have the original 400 block. It has a TH400 automatic transmission and posi-trac rear end. It was repainted in 2009.
Here is a list of some of the new/replaced components on this car: Front Disc brakes and booster assembly All floor pans Trunk pan Carpet Door seals, window felt and moldings Convertible top, boot, and seals Exhaust, Chrome headers Extra Deep Aluminum transmission pan Electronic ignition Shocks Tires Blower motor Heater core Body bushings Gas tank, gas lines, fuel sender Brake lines Front suspension bushings Sway bars Boxed rear control arms Used quarter panels and front fender from a rust free Arizona donor car. During the restoration of this car, the goal was to eliminate any rust on the car. It is a very solid car that runs and drives great. The paint is a base/clear with 3 coats of clear. The wheels are not original to this car but they are original Buick 15" ralley wheels. What this car needs: The radio doesn't work The fan shroud could be replaced The trunk pan needs repainted. Hydraulic pump to lift the convertible top leaks, but it does work. |

Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.
