The engine has been rebuilt, but I will get into specifics below. It really is a rare opportunity to even be around an original paint 70 GSX. Most of them have been restored or wrecked in the last 50 years.

Body:
Original Saturn Yellow paint with the exception of the driver side door. The black stripes are all there. The
hood stripe has the most wear. It can be seen clearly in the video above. There are numerous dings and chips all
around the car, typical of a car that has been driven. Overall, there is no major rot. There are a few spots
where surface rust has popped through. This can all be seen in the video. Photos only go so far with description.

Interior:
With the exception of two aftermarket water and oil gauges below the dash, it is pretty much untouched. Both front
seats have separating seams in the seat bottoms, but the rest of the interior is in nice shape. The driver side
floor mat is getting a bit ratty, but the carpet underneath is still good. The radio works. Clock does
not...surprised?

Engine/Transmission:
The engine is NUMBERS MATCH original. It has been rebuilt sometime in the early or mid 2000's. The VIN is still
on the deck of the block, so it can be verified. I cannot find a number on the transmission case, but it is the
correct casting. The engine runs smooth with no weird noises or ticks/knocks. Clutch feels good and tight and
rows through the gears just fine.

Wheels & Tires:
Wheels are the correct WG Buick rallyes with BFG tires. The wheel chrome isn't perfect, but very presentable.
Spare wheel is also correct WG.

Weatherstripping:
The roof rail rubber is a bit dry and flaky but still doing its job. Door weatherstripping is decent. Quarter
window seals are decent. Trunk seal is there, but it's getting kind of scuzzy along the bottom edge.

Undercarriage:
I've had a pretty good look under there, and it appears that it's been cleaned up and blacked out under the entire
car. I think it would have been done at the same time that the engine and trans were out. There is NO rot. All of
the pinch welds and rockers are nice and clean

2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir gets dash of flash

Wed, Nov 8 2017

The 2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir continues the rollout of the top-trim Avenir line, joining the Enclave. They use the same strategy: package some extra features as standard and give the vehicles more design flair. On the outside, the LaCrosse Avenir gets shiny chrome mesh grilles and Avenir badging, just like the Enclave. Two types of wheels are available on the LaCrosse, either 19-inch pieces finished in "Pearl Nickel" or 20-inch versions finished in "Midnight Silver." Inside, there is exclusive chestnut brown leather interior. The Avenir logo is stitched into the headrests of the seats and is displayed on the door sill plates. Aside from the visual tweaks, the Avenir trim adds a bunch of standard features. Among the convenience items are navigation, a sunroof and a Bose sound system. It also features the nine-speed automatic transmission hooked up to the 310-horsepower V6. But items such as the trick all-wheel-drive system and continuously adjustable suspension are still options. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but expect it to be more than the $42,090 of the next highest-trim LaCrosse Premium with the V6. And Buick expects it will sell plenty of these cars, since it also revealed that 90 percent of LaCrosse buyers choose the top two trims out of the four available. The car goes on sale early next year. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir View 10 Photos Image Credit: Buick Buick Luxury Sedan buick avenir

Buick confirms 2017 Encore for New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Buick will unveil the refreshed 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show in March, company spokesperson Stuart Fowle tells Autoblog. The brand isn't ready to divulge info about the updated compact crossover, but a recent revision to the Encore's European platform-mate, the Opel Mokka (above), might provide hints about what to expect. "While we have no additional details to announce, we're excited to confirm that media and customers will see the new 2017 Encore at next month's New York Auto Show. The Encore joins the Cascada convertible, Envision crossover, and LaCrosse sedan as the fourth new product arriving in Buick showrooms this year," Fowle said to Autoblog. Expect the 2017 Encore to have its own twist on the the Mokka's (now called the Mokka X) exterior styling, and spy shots hint the Buick has a new front end with a smaller grille. The Encore could benefit from the Opel's redesigned dashboard, which integrates the infotainment system into the center stack. It's a very attractive change, and we hope to see the switch in the US. The Mokka X also gets improved safety tech. The German compact CUV now sports adaptive LED headlights that adjust to traffic. US law doesn't allow these intelligent parts, but the Encore might get dumber LED lights. The Opel's improved front-mounted camera also increases the traffic sign detection rate. The Mokka X is available with the updated powertrain from the Encore Sport Touring, so there might not be any engine upgrades for the Buick. Buick needs to keep the Encore fresh, as the compact CUV is the brand's best selling model. It delivered 67,549 of them in 2015, a 38.2-percent jump over the previous year. The popularity continued into January 2016 with 4,920 deliveries – up 42 percent. Related Video:

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
