<br />
<p align="left">This 1969 Buick California GS was born on Sept. 9, 1968 in
Fremont CA. It was then sent up to San Francisco to Waters Buick were it found
itself it's first owner. The car stayed in the hands of that owner until the
90's were it was found in a back yard, having been left to the elements by the
original owner. The second owner saw the potential of what the car was and
proceeded to restore it close to original as he could afford. The car had no
rust but it did have a couple of dents, the worst was the passenger quarter
right behind the door and they were addressed without having to replace any
panels. The original engine and transmission were rebuilt and the rest of the
car brought up to driver quality. The current owner lives in Australia, he has
had me working on it for the last year and he wanted the car to be restored to a
higher level but has switched his interests. This is an early car with all the
documentation, cars like this don't come up often so take the opportunity to own
this special car.<p align="left">The engine is the original
 350, it was rebuilt around 1997 and has about 30K miles since gone through.
 It was pulled out, new timing chain, oil pump and water pump installed and
 all new gaskets. It is currently running synthetic oil. The engine was
 detailed with all the correct paint and decals. The carburetor was rebuilt,
 new fuel pump and new foam installed on the ram air openings. It has new points/cap/rotor/wires, the
 distributor was cleaned, new advance unit installed and counterweights lubed. The
 radiator was replaced and a recovery tank was added, the original radiator
 is included with the car. The transmission had
the fluid and filter changed, it was also resealed while the engine was out. The
 differential had new axle seals and pinion seal. All of the belts/hoses are
 new and the heater core was replaced. The brakes are all brand new, all
 hardware, shoes, drums, hoses, master cylinder and front wheel bearings
 (Timken) have been replaced. The exhaust system is a brand new dual setup
 with mild sounding turbo mufflers, basically the way it could've sounded new
 (dual exhaust wasn't an option). The gas tank was taken out to put in a new
 sender, it was cleaned and refinished along with replacing all fuel and vent
 hoses and it has a new cap. The front suspension is all brand new with Moog
 parts, all the ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm and
 bushings. It has a brand new set of Cooper Cobra tires in a 205/70R 14 which
 is equivalent to the original optional tire size and the rally wheels were
 cleaned and refinished. It has a new set of KYB Excel-G shocks all around,
 nice riding for these older muscle cars. I installed a set of 2&quot; coil spring
 spacers in the rear to give it a little bit of a raked look but they can be
 removed and it sits perfectly level if you prefer.<p align="left">
The interior looks good, it was done to be a driver so it doesn't have original
style upholstery on the seats. The carpet and dash pad were replaced when it was
restored originally. The rear package tray was replaced because it had holes cut
for an aftermarket stereo so it was returned to original with insulation pad.
The headliner has a couple of bad spots and a new one is included, I just didn't
have time to install it for him. The door panels are in good shape and all the
windows work as they should. The doors had the glass run seals replaced.<p align="left">
The exterior of the car has all the original sheet metal, there was a couple of
dents worked out and the bigger one was right behind the passenger door but it
was able to be straightened. It took me a while but was able to find the wheel
opening molding the previous owner was never able to find. There is and was no
rust except for some surface rust on the floor in the trunk that cleaned up
well. There were no holes and it was cleaned, treated with POR 15 and sprayed
with the correct trunk finish. The original jack and tools were restored and it
retained the original jack sleeve as well. I found an original rim and installed
a good used tire for the spare. I replaced the trunk seal and got a jack
instruction decal for the lid. The paint is about 15 years old now, it was
painted a later GM color close to the original because he thought the original
was too dull. There are a few chips in the paint but it's definitely looks good.
it was an above average job but not high end. The bumpers were redone at the
time of paint and shine well but there are a couple of blemishes from polishing
over the years. The stainless trim is good all around and it does have typical
spots in the pot metal. The headlight buckets were repainted on the inside
areas, all the headlight adjusters were replaced, Halogen bulbs added for the
outers and headlights aimed. The grill chrome is a little worn so it could be
redone and the drip rail molding was not straightened very well when the did the
top but it's not to hard to do that. The glass is all original, the rear glass
was resealed when the did the top, the windshield has a few tiny pits in it and
a mark from a wiper blade but it could be polished out. The rest of the glass is
good.<p align="left">
The car is really clean underneath and chassis is immaculate, I started to
repaint the frame starting up front when that work was done so it wouldn't take
much to finish it. The original exhaust was still on the car when the new
exhaust was done, that alone will tell you how clean the car is underneath. All
the lights work, the horn, heater fan, wipers and even the key buzzer but the
radio doesn't.<p align="left">It is a pretty nice car but like most it has
 little things you could do to make it nicer, most of us are never done but
 rather just finished for now. If you want an excellent driver, I think this
 foots the bill. I've tried to describe it as accurately as possible and I
 get a little wordy but want to cover everything. If you have questions let
 me know. I have a ton of pictures of all different steps of the work done I
 will include with the car as well as some pics the previous owner had in the
 file showing the original engine being pulled for rebuild.<p align="left">There is
 a Buy-It-Now as you
can see, you can make an offer if you want but there is more money tied up in it
 than the buy it now so don't be looking for a steal and Ram Air Buicks have
 started to climb in the last year or two. There would be interest in a
 partial trade (min. $10K cash + your car) but it would have to be a car in
 CA or AZ, I don't like rust. I welcome inspections, the car is
 here and can be viewed by appointment. The winning bidder will receive a California
title, clear of any liens with the car. I can assist with arranging shipping to your
location or make recommendations for shipping, of course it can be picked up in person
after we have received funds. This car is located at my shop in Fresno, CA.</P>

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for New York debut

Tue, Mar 22 2016

Buick has rolled in to the New York Auto Show this year with a revised version of the Encore, bringing with it a series of revisions to what's billed as "America's most popular small SUV." Most obvious is the new front end that adopts the brand's latest design language with a fresh grille and headlamps – full LEDs on top-spec models. The taillights are also new, the exhaust tips are now chromed, the door mirrors color-keyed to the bodywork, and of course it all rides on a new set of wheels. The updates continue inside, where you'll find new trim, new gauges, and an eight-inch color touchscreen display to run the IntelliLink system that now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as OnStar 4G LTE with on-board wifi. Buyers will be able to choose between five trim levels and between front- or all-wheel drive. There are three new exterior paint choices as well. The Encore is based closely on the European-market Opel Mokka, which was similarly revealed in updated form at the Geneva Motor Show just last month. In Buick guise, the Encore has only been on the market now for three years, but already stands as the brand's top seller. Last year it alone accounted for nearly one in every three vehicles Buick sold, and has risen 34 percent so far this year as well. Subtle though they may be, these updates ought to keep the Encore at the top of its game for another few years to come.

A new front-end appearance and a new premium interior highlight the visual refinements, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported by a next-generation IntelliLink system featuring an 8-inch-diagonal color touch screen. Push-button start, keyless unlock via the exterior door handles and an 8-inch color touchscreen highlight the Encore's roster of new standard features. "The Buick Encore created the premium small SUV segment and remains the top choice for customers seeking premium features and dependability coupled with timeless design," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick Sales, Service and Marketing.

Buick rolls out more potent Encore Sport Touring

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Buick has announced a new Sport Touring version of the Encore. And more than a trim level or special edition, we're glad to report that the new model packs a more potent engine. Instead of the 1.4-liter turbo four that produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque in the standard Encore, the new Sport Touring model features a newer, more powerful engine that GM says shares little with the existing unit aside from its displacement. The new 1.4-liter turbocharged, direct-injection engine produces a more commanding 153 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, which is up a good 11 percent and 20 percent, respectively, over the existing engine. It's still mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and features a stop/start system to optimize fuel efficiency. Buick wasn't willing to estimate where the mile-per-gallon numbers might land, though that information will be available closer to sale. Along with the upgraded engine, Buick is also throwing in 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and the features from the Convenience package as well. The new Encore model follows just a couple of months after we first caught wind of a trademark filed for the Sport Touring name. At the time, it looked like it was set to be applied to the Regal and LaCrosse sedan, which could still follow as well.

It is distinguished by unique exterior cues and driven by an exclusive, all-new 1.4L turbocharged engine featuring direct injection and stop/start technology. The exterior features include a winged rear spoiler, 18-inch aluminum premium-finish wheels and body-color door handles, while the technologically advanced 1.4L turbo is part of a new, global family of small, power-dense engines developed to balance performance and efficiency with exceptional refinement. Direct injection helps it generate an estimated 153 hp (112 kW) and 177 lb-ft of torque (240 Nm), for about 11 percent more horsepower and nearly 20 percent more torque than the Encore's standard engine – and a greater feeling of power on demand, particularly at low- and mid-range engine speeds. It's matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stop/start technology contributes to reduced fuel consumption in stop-and-go driving.
