1968 Buick Electra 225 Custom Convertible 2-door 7.0l on 2040-cars
New London, Connecticut, United States
|
Here is a 1968 Buick Electra 225 Custom Convertible being sold at no reserve. The Odometer is currently at 35,406 miles and is increasing as I drive it around town. This car has the 430 cubic inch, 7 liter, 360 horsepower V8. This car runs great down the road, and had a transmission rebuild about 2500 miles ago. Coker Classic white wall bias tires ($185.00 each) adorn the original wheels. The interior is in good shape with some small blemishes here and there. The overall interior is in very good shape. This car will seat 6 comfortably and will be a great cruiser to your local car show, or just a ride to the beach. The mechanism for the convertible top works great and the power top goes up and down with no problems at all. The convertible top needs to be repaired or replaced due to the rear window having come out. The convertible boot is included, but has some imperfections and could be replaced as well. I looked online and the prices range from $199 for just the top to around $500 for the complete kit. The rear window is currently out of the car, but the original glass will be included with the sale. I would recommend a front end alignment for this car. I drove it recently on the freeway, and there is a slight wobble between 45 and 55 miles per hour. The radio is not original to the car. The engine is strong and starts up like it should and runs down the road very nicely. The dual exhaust sounds great and the car gets many comments, smiles and waves. Please see the video to see what it is like to drive this great piece of history. This car is being sold with no reserve, so the highest bid will buy this car! Due to the year, I am selling this 1968 Buick with no warranty. Please let me know if you need any additional pictures and I will do my best to get them out to you. Vehicle to be sold with Bill of Sale, CT does not issue titles for vehicles of this age. Again, this car is being sold at no reserve, so the highest bid will take it home.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk
Sun, Oct 11 2015General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.
Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
