1977 Buick Century Custom Wagon 4-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
East Meadow, New York, United States
Hello ebayers - WE WILL DELIVER UP TO 250 MILES BY FLATBED SERVICE ( INCLUDED ) ITEM LOCATION ZIP 11554
We came across this Buick Century Station Wagon at a local shop that we go to for regular service. It was previously from a Estate Auction a while back. One of the employees from the shop Gave me the Buicks entire history and it was Quite Interesting. From what I understand, Its spent its entire life in Long Island New york. It was Purchased new from Hagstrom Buick, In Huntington, NY in May 1977. When I opened the glove box I found Many records including the window sticker. Even Inspection Certificates dating back to 1993, and its safe to say that the odometer has only turned once, and the miles that it has on it in connection with the inspection reciepts its also save to say this station wagon was lightly used.
We Purchased this Vehicle because we operate a delivery business. Delivering small packages locally in the town we reside in and we figured it would be cool to deliver to our customers in a classic car in great condition from the 70s. However, this is a NON A/C car. We were qouted with a price on how much it would be to put air conditioning in the vehicle and after some shopping around we decided that it just was not in our favor to have that done. Some ofthe products we deliver require climate control, and with the hot weather on the way this simply does not work out. The Buick has a V8 6.6L Carburated engine with a turbo 400 Transmission and a posi rear. The shop I purchased it from installed a rebuilt carburator, a New radiator , new power steering lines and 4 new tires. the car starts up everytime. and has some power behind it. Everything works on this car, even down to the original radio. It has power windows, Rear defrost am-fm radio and a power bench seat. A nice option i think it has is there is a set of rear seats in the way back of the car that comes out of the floor and holds 2 passengers facing the rear of the vehicle. I sat 8 people comfortably in this car just to try it out. Some may be interested in this classic wagon for parts or for its drivetrain or some may want it for nostalic reasons. Im sorry to see this car go but it serves no purpose to us. Im setting this listing as a auction with a reserve.. if you have any other questions please contact me directly, ill be more then happy to answer. Happy bidding VEHICLE DAMAGE - Someone once repaired the drivers side foam part of the dash, they used the wrong color vinyl paint or dye. It doenst look terrible, and it is small. - The Drivers side of the bench seat has some rips in the bottom part of the seat. The interior and exterior are in great shape for its age, and please expect some minor scratches and interior fade on panels " its a 1977 car".. any detailed questions please ask us , we want to fully disclose and answer any questions you may have. |

Trump prods General Motors over its auto plants in China
Sat, Aug 31 2019WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump, who is engaged in a trade war with Beijing, said on Friday that the largest U.S. automaker, General Motors, should begin moving its operations back to the United States. "General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there. They moved major plants to China, BEFORE I CAME INTO OFFICE. This was done despite the saving help given them by the USA. Now they should start moving back to America again?" Trump said in a post on Twitter. Trump appeared to be referring to a Bloomberg News story that reported GM's hourly workforce of 46,000 U.S. workers has fallen behind that of Fiat Chrysler as the smallest of the Detroit Three automakers. Over the past four decades, GM has dramatically cut the size of its overall U.S. workforce, which numbered nearly 620,000 in 1979. GM did not directly comment on Trump's tweet. "GMÂ’s China operations are not a threat to U.S. jobs," the company said in a fact sheet, noting that its joint ventures have sent $16 billion in equity income to GM since 2010 and that it has invested $23 billion in U.S. operations since 2009. GM's U.S. hourly workforce has fallen by about 4,000 jobs since the end of 2018 to about where it was a decade ago. Trump's ire with GM comes as contract talks with the United Auto Workers union with the Detroit Three automakers intensify ahead of a Sept. 14 deadline. Trump has previously attacked GM for building vehicles in Mexico and for ending production at plants in Michigan, Ohio and Maryland and threatened to cut GM subsidies in retaliation. GM's decision to close four plants in the United States is a central issue in the contract talks. Trump has made boosting auto jobs a key priority and has often attacked automakers on Twitter for not doing enough to boost U.S. employment. His 2020 re-election bid will hinge on holding key industrial battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that narrowly voted for him in 2016. China is the worldÂ’s largest auto market, and government policy favors automakers assembling vehicles there, and not importing them from overseas. In response to TrumpÂ’s latest tariffs, China said last week it will reinstitute 25% tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles. The U.S. is imposing 15% tariffs on more than $125 billion in Chinese goods starting Sunday. GM sold 3.6 million vehicles in China last year accounting for 43% of its worldwide sales.
NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX
Wed, Dec 3 2014Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.
Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
