I have had this car since 1993. It is a beautiful Blue and White cruiser that I have enjoyed for many years. This car was originally gold and white painted top, with a white interior. When I first purchased the car it had a power bench seat, tilt wheel, A/C, power steering, power drum brakes, remote driver's mirror and AM radio. The original engine was the 340 four barrel with two speed automatic. I have changed the car more to my liking, but kept it all Buick. The interior is now Bucket seats with console and floor shifter. I installed a four speaker AM/FM cass radio with the Buick name on the front and had the interior reupholstered in the original off white color. The front suspension was rebuilt in the 90's and has heavy duty station wagon springs with a Trans Am sway bar. The shocks are new gas units by KYB. I installed the classic Buick rally wheels (15 X 7) with BFG TA radials 235 60s (5K miles). The engine is a 71' Buick 455, bored .030 over. It was built by Valley Balancing, Ceres, Ca. and has a TA Cam (Stage 1 Type), ARP fasteners throughout and small combustion 430 heads with hardened valve seats. Compression is 9:1. They also opened up the oil passages and installed a high pressure oil pump. The 455 has a 750 cfm Quadrajet carburetor, stock exhaust manifolds and dual 2.25" exhaust. The engine sounds great and runs out strong. There is a little overheating problem at this time and I hope to have it fixed. The transmission is from a 67' GS400. It is the SP400 which is a TH400 with a switch pitch torque converter, rebuilt at Edco Trans in Fairfield, with a mild shift kit. The engine and transmission have less than 1K miles. The drive shaft is balanced with new heavy duty U-joints. The bumpers were chromed and the paint was done in 2000. The paint needs a little fixing as over the years it has some scratches and peeling as shone in the pictures.
I love driving this car. I get compliments all the time. So will you. Thank you for looking and good luck bidding.

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning
Sat, Feb 2 2019According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.
