For sale is my 1961 Buick Electra 4 door hardtop. This car spent all it's life in Arizona. I have done a lot to this car in the past year. Recent paint, Rebuilt brake booster, new master cylinder, new tires, new interior, new carb, overhauled engine, rebuilt torque converter, rebuilt transmission, new interior lights, hubcaps, wheels, new brakes, custom made radiator, the list goes on and on. have hundreds of pictures of the resurrection of the car and receipts. I have way more into it than the reserve price. I reserve the right to end auction early as the car is for sale locally.

 

The car is about 95% completed. Little odds and ends to be 100% It runs and drives great! I bought this car to be a project for my father and I. He has since become very sick and we just don't have the time to complete it and enjoy it.

The car looks great and everyone that sees it, loves it. It isn't a concourse winner but isn't a rat either. Being that the car spent all it's life in Arizona, there is zero rust. It is solid everywhere. It is a cruiser, a car you can take to the car show or weekend cruises.

The new owner will need to finish off the little things left and make it their own. All the hard expensive stuff has been done and all the ground work for completion is in place.

Known things to finish,

Gas gauge doesn't operate.

Power seat doesn't operate

Missing front kick panels, but have the steel inserts

Rear window seal

Side window seals between windows

Power steering pump needs rebuilt

Ac needs to be converted to 134A and charged

Upper courtesy side lights need lenses

Modify air cleaner to fit new edelbrock 750 carb

I believe that is all that is left to finish it off.

Rear bumper has a couple small dents

I have a lot of spare parts that will be included with the car, spare bumper, extra transmission, and a whole lot more. If it is for a buick and goes on this car and I have it, it comes with it.

Fri, Apr 5 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. The two kick things off by talking about what they've been driving, including the 2025 Volvo EX30 (on ice), 2024 Lexus LC 500h and 2024 Lexus TX 350. After the review section, it's time for the news. The impending 2025 Toyota 4Runner reveal is dissected; a new Buick Envision arrives, and Tesla has a rough quarter. Once the pair finish with the news, they move on to discuss the current state of affairs in Formula 1 and give a quick rundown of the New York Auto Show Editors' Picks.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating

Fri, May 13 2016

This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Sell-it-yourself: 1998 Buick Century Limited

Wed, May 10 2017

Looking to sell your car? We make it safe, easy, and free. Quickly create listings with up to six photos and reach millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. Well before Buick was tight with the Chinese, it was working to reconnect with middle class America. Of course, there's the middle class, and then there's the aspirational middle class. For them, near the end of the 20th Century, Buick offered the Buick Century and its better-zip-code derivative, the Century Limited. Having attended the Buick press launch about this time, the Century was – and is – what we'd call tidy in proportion and clean in its detailing. Its interior design and execution might have leaned toward old school, but the exterior surfaces were responsibly devoid of affectation. In short, almost twenty years ago we would have judged this to be sheetmetal that, if not defying age, would have certainly resisted aging. And we'll stand by that today. Our for sale example, nineteen years old and showing just over 111,000 miles, looks to deliver ample bang for the buck, especially when talking only 2,500 of those bucks. From the photos, this Buick seems to have come from a good home, even if the passenger rear door reflects what we used to call a whiskey ding, and is now - probably - a mojito ding. While kicking tires in West Palm Beach, note the custom wheels; they, too, are limited. Shop for the listing here. Buick Car Buying Used Car Buying Ownership Sedan
