There is a small community of hippies, recluses, rastafarians and lumberjacks in-between the haves and have nots in Northern California. Sequestered in the massive redwood forrest, this small enclave is marked only by a small Post Office. Entering the winding network of dirt roads is definitely at your own risk. Everyone in the small community knows and respects each other and watches out for their neighbors. So Chatman and I entered in our trusty Jeep blasting our Bob Marley tape. When we rounded a corner both of our jaws hit the ground. We thought we had hit the jackpot as this GSX Clone had us both fooled. A young man who was wise passed his years informed us that we were looking at a clone which surprised us both. I feel that this clone had been created in the 80s or 90s as it just has a great time capsule type feel. So we made a deal and drove it out to the main road. Actually the young man drove it out for me and did a 30 yard burn out in my face, flinging gravel and dirt from both wheels. It was an impressive display and I didn't feel disrespected at all.
In addition to the GSX bolt ons this car has disc brakes, bucket seats, console, and power windows. The air cleaner is not the Ram Air style. The right fender was a replacement. The car appears to have been orange or copper originally. It starts on a couple clicks and shifts hard. The engine has a deep ticking noise. The young man I got it from advised me that a new oil pump should be installed. This car almost went to the Part Yard. They said it was locked up tight and the tow guy came and popped the locks on the door and trunk. The young man rushed down from his hillside cabin and apparently a fussy neighbor had called the Parking Police. This didn't surprise me as the young man had a half dozen power wagons and 3 fox bodies scattered about the forrest. Also the column and under dash wiring will need an extensive redo. What I have for you here is a very cool Buick project. The neighborhood is already abuzz with questions. The exhaust system roars a mighty roar. This car can be loaded easily and sent your way without trouble. Just let us know. |

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
