Hello,
Up for sale is my 1970 Buick Riviera. This is a survivor. As you can see from some of the pictures I have other Rivieras. This one was an addition to the herd back in 2005. I bought the car at an estate sale. The original owner passed away and this car among many other items were auctioned off in North Carolina. I drove the car home from the auction over 75 miles without problem. Upon buying I was pleased to see a folder of documents from all work done on this car for over 2 decades! Most are hand written by the original owner. they date back to 1976. Even letters sent to Buick by her. Since then it has been a driver for me. It has cruised 100 miles to Pigeon Forge and many miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The car has attended cruise ins and shows. It always gets attention where ever I go. The car has always been stored inside with my other cars.
Body:
Documents show the car being repainted in 1976. It was repainted in a tan color. This was a color change from the original dark gold. Typical paint job for the times. Not a show quality job but still shines and looks good enough for people to say it's a beauty. A couple dings, scratches and touch ups. Only way I would repaint this car if I was going to make a show car out of it. It appears to have never had body work anywhere and by now if it had any serious rust it would be showing signs. Still has the original vinyl top that is in surprisingly good shape for the age of the car. Notice the short rear fender skirts. These are rare and look much better than long ones. Overall this body/paint/top is in good shape and in good driver condition. Chrome is original. Not show quality but no rust or bad pits. Like the paint, I would not rechrome anything unless I was making an all out show car. All glass appears to be original. Floors and trunk pan look good. Trunk is solid. Original jack/wrench and wheel with old tire. Original carpet/cardboard that's a little worn.
Interior:
Like the outside the interior is mostly original. Outside a donor console lid and carpet floor mats I see nothing different than the day Detroit sent it out with(original mats come with car). Seats look very nice for their age. Driver's seat has a couple of very small blemishes but other than that the seats look great. Console, dash, headliner other panels look very good. Some wood grain on the bezel is faded. Most of the wood grain looks great. Bucket seats and rocker shifter make this a rare Riv. It's rare finding these cars with original interiors this nice.
Drive train:
Car shows around 25k miles so I assume 125k. I would assume the engine, tranny and rear end are all original. It sounds great. Starts great with no smoke. I never have added oil between changes. I tuned it up a few years back and it ran great with lots of power. This was Buick's strongest 455! T-400 shifts great. Rear end is a rare posi trac and works fine. Brakes stop good and straight. Power steering works fine. Never has gotten hot during the trips I have had it on. I don't even see any noticeable leaks. New exhaust that sounds great. Tires look very good. Clean under the hood with almost new battery. Drives straight and smooth. This is a very solid performing car!
Things needing attention:
1.Pass. side window not rolling down (like this when I bought it probably needing a motor which I have)
2.Air conditioning not working. (never bothered looking at it since I knew it would leak down between driving)
3.Radio has no sound (lights up and has power to it)
4.Clock is not working like all others I have
5.Has 2 year old gas needing freshened up
I have tried to describe it to the best of my ability. It has not been driven this year but had no issues last year when I drove it down the road and back. It's too nice to give away so a reserve will be placed on it. You buy it as is where is. Deposit is required after purchase and cash would be great on day you arrive to pick it up. Thanks for looking and good luck!

Opel to be shuttered in China, but will restart Buick production in Germany

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Opel, General Motors' troubled German brand continues its quest to reinvent itself and find solid profitability. In the course of that metamorphosis, the company has a bit of good news/bad news today. The good news is, it will once again begin screwing together Buick models for the American market. The bad news, though, is that it's being shut down in yet another country, China.
Let's start with the good news. The last vehicle Opel's Ruesselsheim factory built for the North American market was the early run of the then-new Regal, which is based heavily on the Opel Insignia. Production ran for just over two years, from 2009 to 2011, before moving production to Oshawa, Ontario.
Now, thanks to a 245-million-euro investment (just over $336 million), Opel will kick off production of a unspecified model for the US in the "second half of the decade," according to Automotive News. According to Opel, the new model will be announced before the end of 2014. You can begin your speculation about this new model down in Comments (we're wagering it'll be the Cascada convertible, sold here under the Buick umbrella).

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.

Buick prepares Super Bowl ad blitz to introduce Cascada

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Super Bowl 50 will kick off on February 7, and Buick will use the big game's massive audience to get the word out about the new Cascada convertible. The the broadcast spot will be paired with a humorous digital campaign to advertise the convertible online. Buick hasn't released the 30-second Super Bowl commercial yet, but a teaser image shows that it stars New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. and actress Emily Ratajkowski, known for roles in the films Gone Girl and Entourage. The ad is part of the "Experience the New Buick" campaign, which aims to position the brand to appeal to a younger demographic. The brand also has Ellie Kemper, the star of Netflix's hilarious Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Erin on The Office, to sell the Cascada, Regal, Encore, and Enclave in a new online campaign. She plays an exaggerated version of herself and flirts with a guy who thinks Kemper owns Buick's new convertible. The spot tries to capitalize on the quirky charm of the actor's Kimmy Schmidt character. Buick will cut the longer clip (below) into vignettes for ads on sites like YouTube. Buick spokesperson Crystal Wilson told Autoblog that viewers' reactions to Kemper's commercial have been "totally positive" so far. First-Ever Buick Super Bowl Ad Features Odell Beckham Jr. and Emily Ratajkowski Latest "Experience the New Buick" ad spotlights new Cascada convertible 2016-01-26 DETROIT – Buick's first-ever Super Bowl ad will bring the brand's award-winning "Experience the New Buick" campaign to the biggest night in TV advertising. The campaign launched in 2014 and challenges consumers' false perceptions of the brand. The 30-second spot, scheduled to air during Super Bowl 50, features Buick's all-new Cascada luxury convertible and stars New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and actress/model Emily Ratajkowski. The spot will be the first new Buick commercial to air in 2016, a year where the brand will launch three new products. The Cascada, Buick's first convertible in 25 years, arrives in dealerships in the coming weeks. It features an athletic and sculptural beauty that delivers a distinctive profile, whether the top is up or down. Along with the perception-shifting Cascada, Buick showrooms will soon feature a redesigned LaCrosse sedan and the new Envision, a compact crossover. Both go on sale this summer.
