THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO QWN A TRUE AMERICAN CLASSIC THAT IS RAPIDLY GROWING IN POPULARITY AND VALUE. IT'S A REAL GRAN SPORT WITH FACTORY DUEL QUADS.THE 65 IS FAR AND AWAY THE MOST VALUED OF BUICKS AND THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 3000 MADE.HAGERTY CLASSIC CAR VALUES HAS SEEN A RAPID INCREASE IN VALUE OF THIS MODEL AND CURRENTLY VALUES A #1 CONDITION IN THE HIGH $70,000S AND A #2 IN THE HIGH $40KS.THIS CAR CAN EASILY BE A #2 AND WITH SOME TLC COULD BE A #1. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I WAS TOLD A RESTORATION AND REPAINT WAS STARTED ON THE CAR IN 1984. FOR SOME REASON IT WAS NEVER COMPLETED AND SET FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL IT WAS SOLD AT AN ESTATE SALE JUST PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING THE CAR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR I DISCOVERED IT HAD AN EXTERIOR CRACK IN THE BLOCK. OUTSIDE OF THE MECHANICAL ISSUES AND SOME MISSING PARTS, THE CAR IS AMAZINGLY STRAIGHT SO I ELECTED TO DO AN OPEN CHECK BOOK RESTORATION ON THE CAR WITH THE INTENT OF KEEPING IT LONG TERM. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGHT SPACE TO LIST EVERYTHING THATS BEEN DONE TO THE CAR AT THIS POINT SO I'M GOING TO COVER MOST OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO ME IF I WERE BUYING THE CAR. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WERE DISASSEMBLED AND TOTALLY REBUILT. A NEW BLOCK WAS TOTALLY BLUEPRINTED AND ALL NEW INTERNALS INSTALLED. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BLOCK, CRANK, AND RODS, EVERY OTHER COMPONENT IS NEW AND BLUE PRINTED AND BALANCED.THE HEADS WERE COMPLETELY REBUILT WITH NEW PARTS ALSO. EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THE EXTERIOR PARTS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE I TOSSED EVERYTHING AND REPLACED WITH NEW. NEW CHROME ALTERNATOR, FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP(POLISHED) FAN, BELTS, BATTERY,CABLES,PLUG WIRES, ETC.THE ROCKER COVERS WERE POLISHED AND THEN CHROMED AS WERE ALL OF THE OTHER ENGINE BRACKETS. EVERYTHING WAS REASSEMBLED WITH STAINLESS BOLTS. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBS WERE SHIPPED TO A EXPERT SPECIALEST FOR A COMPLETE REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO SENT OUT AND COMPLETELY REBUILT WITH H.P. PARTS. ALL NEW BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLEY. THE RADIATOR WAS ALSO COMPLETELY REBUILT. THE TOTAL EXHAUST SYSTEM IS NEW. NEW SHOCKS WERE INSTALLED ON ALL 4 CORNERS. THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING WAS ALL CHECKED OUT AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. ALL COMPONENTS IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS EITHER REBUILT OR REPLACED. NEW MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE CYLINDERS,SHOES, AND BRAKELINES. ALSO THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REBUILT.AFTER ALL WAS REASSEMBLED, A NEW SET OF TIRES WERE INSTALLED. BOTTOM LINE, I THINK MECHANICALY, THIS CAR IS AS NEAR NEW AS POSSIBLE. THE INTERIOR IS THE DELUXE OPTION AND IN GOOD SHAPE CONSIDERING IT'S ALMOST 50 YEARS OLD. NO RIPS OR TEARS ETC. CARPET IS FAIR. HOWEVER, MY INTENTIONS WERE TO REPLACE IT ALL. A COMPLETE KIT TO DO THIS IS AVAILABLE AT OPG FOR A REASONABLE PRICE. EXTERIOR WISE, ALL OF THE TRIM HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THE PAINT STRIPPED TO BARE METAL IN PREPARATION FOR PAINT. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF PRIOR BODY DAMAGE IS MINOR RUST REPAIR REQUIRED. ALL OF THE TRIM HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY POLISHED AND LOOKS NEW. ALL THE CHROME, EXCEPT THE REAR BUMPER, WAS REDONE AT A COST OVER $2000. THE CAR IS READY TO GO TO THE PAINTER. THIS WAS MY NEXT PLANNED STEP. AFTER 2 YEARS OF WORKING ON THIS RESTORATION AND AN INVESTMENT OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, I HAVE ACCEPTED A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ON ANOTHER CONTINENT AND CAN'T TAKE THE CAR WITH ME. SO REGRETFULLY, I'M FORCED TO SELL IT. AT FIRST, MY INTENTIONS WERE TO PAINT THE CAR AND THEN OFFER IT FOR SALE. WHILE DISCUSSING COLOR OPTIONS WITH MY PAINTER, HE MADE A COMMENT, THAT NO MATTER WHICH COLOR WE PICKED, MORE THAN LIKELY THE NEW BUYER WOULD WISH IT WAS ANOTHER COLOR. WITH THAT THOUGHT IN MIND, I DECIDED TO OFFER IT FOR SALE AS IS AND HOPE SOMEONE RECOGNIZES THE VALUE AND LIKES THE FACT THEY CAN FINISH THE CAR TO THEIR TASTE. IF NOT, I'LL COMPLETE IT AND PRICE IT ACCORDINGLY. FINISHED, I THINK THIS CAR WILL BE ONE OF THE NICEST SPECIMENS IN EXISTENCE AND DEFINATELY A GOOD INVESTMENT AND A GREAT DRIVER. IF ANYWAY POSSIBLE, INTERESTED BUYERS SHOULD INSPECT THIS CAR IN PERSON. IT'S ONLY 15 MINUTES FROM LAX. ANY QUESTIONS CALL JIM @ 310 308-7779 |

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.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break
Sat, Jun 19 2021General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.  Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
