LOOK BUT YOU WILL NEVER FIND another, like this Kustom car anywhere . One of a kind super build that really shows well and always takes home the prize  at any car show.  This is a great driver as well and gets good gas mileage . 
 
The 53 Buick body started out as a two door hard top which has been modified to fit the 1993 Buick  Road Master drive train which was selected and grafted with the 53 body, and very nicely I might add. Sooo you have all the modern  traits with anti lock brakes, fuel injection , over drive trans, power steering, and power disk front brakes.

The all steel body was shaved, chopped, Frenched, and lowered for a bad ass look.  Halogen headlights, LED ‘59 Caddy tail lights, Kustom gas filler, shaved door handles with Frenched tail lights and antenna.   Kustom stainless steel exhaust tips, Dayton wire wheels with 3” Diamondback whitewalls, a removable Carson style top used for inclement weather  has snap on convertible style boot.  Painted 2002 Corvette Torch Red.  

The engine is a ZZ4-350, with custom intake which covers the throttle body fuel injection 4-barrell, carb, computer controlled, factory air conditioning, overflow can. Factory everything else.

The interior using 1966 Thunderbird bucket seats and wrap around rear seat in leather with matching seatbelts.  Carpet is Corvette color to match paint.  A late model Cadillac Escalade console, modified to fit at dash with working air for rear passengers.  A Sony sound system keeps you smiling as the miles roll by.  The steering column down  is the 93, as well as the floorboard, chassis and all stock runner underneath. A 7” touch screen navigation system, which is removable for other vehicle use. One-off Kustom steering wheel from Concept To Reality Company, 5” dolphin gauges, power windows, key fob door locks and trunk, one remote button underneath car for access without key. Finished out trunk with locking compartment.  

Do not bid if you do not want to attract attention at any point in your journey.
Do not bid if you do not want to talk to people who are fascinated with this car.
Do not bid if your wife does not approve about spending this money.
Do not bid if you do not want a bad ass looking car.
Do not bid if your pockets are empty.  (NO TIRE KICKERS)
I am a long time E-Bayer and have bought and sold cars here and I really hate having to move this one on but health forces sale.  A couple of things need attention:  speedometer hookup (loose wire?), backwards fuel gauge reading. Horn just stopped working (relay?)

You will receive all receipts and detailed info on the entire build, where things are, A-Z, so you can find electrical port for diagnostic, computer location, battery location, lock-out switch location, etc.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

2020 Buick Encore GX pricing makes it a better bargain than the smaller Encore

Thu, Nov 14 2019

In April, Buick revealed the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai. At the time, we thought there was a chance the slightly larger GX would supplant the Encore in the U.S. By August, we learned that wouldn't happen, the Encore GX slotting into the lineup between the Encore and the Envision. With nearly $8,000 between the starting prices of the Encore and the Envision, there'd be plenty of room for the GX to find a good home leaving plenty of MSRP daylight between the crossover bookends. That doesn't appear to be what's happened, though. CarsDirect got hold of an early order guide for the Encore GX, and writes that the Encore GX in Preferred trim will cost $24,100 before a $995 destination charge, totaling $25,095. That's $900 more than the entry-level Encore in 1SV trim, but $500 less than the Encore in comparable Preferred trim.    The Encore offers an intermediate Sport Touring trim between Preferred and top-level Essence trims. The Encore GX will come in an intermediate Select trim, which CarsDirect didn't mention a price for. Stepping up to the top Essence variant with front-wheel drive costs $29,495 for the Encore GX, $800 less than a similar Encore, which costs $30,295.   If these are the figures that show up on dealer lots, the Encore GX seems like a no-brainer. The Encore rides on an older GM platform called GEM, for Global Emerging Markets, the GX model is built on GM's new VSS-F architecture. Both are fine looking vehicles, but the GX is a little more handsome. The Encore offers one engine, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, shifting through a six-speed transmission. The base engine on the Encore GX will be a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 137 hp and 166 lb-ft, shifting through a CVT. The second GX engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 155 hp and 174 lb-ft, optional on the front-wheel drive Select and Essence trims, standard on every all-wheel-drive model. That more powerful motor shifts through a nine-speed automatic.  As if all that weren't enough, the GX's reason for being is that it offers more room. An additional three inches in length provides an extra 4.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. The GX wins on safety, too, coming standard with tech like forward collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.

GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
