This cool old Buick is up for auction from Cookeville TN. This was located since the Mid 80's in a shop that bought it when the transmission quite working. Then the new owner pulled all the carpet out when he was worried about floor rust. Fast Forward to 2012 when we seen this car still in the old shop pushed against the wall. We bought the vehicle to restore has we are the owners of a full service resto shop in Cookeville. Our 12,000 square foot shop is full of vehicles and we decide to make some room for customers cars. Our intent was restore and modify into a cool cruiser. We have purchased a low mileage 500 Cadilac motor and turbo 400 trans from a 75 Caddy that is not part of this auction, but could be purchased separetly. The 445 Wildcat motor is said to be a 325 HP 401 Cubic inch Nail head and is believed to be original to the car. The car body is solid and the under side appears to be just surface rust. The passenger side floor next to rocker is weak with rust but rocker look strong. By the rear pillar on the drivers side has small rust holes. There is some rust on bottom of rear quarter panels and a rust hole in front of rear tire on both sides. The frame is solid and that includes over rear wheels. The body was undercoated long ago and looks like it kept the underside in great shape There are more pic's of this that i can send if you call and give me your email address. All of the stainless trim is with car and front trim on lower hood is in truck with door sill plated and heavy aluminum turbine and spinner hub caps. There are also extra parts that came with car including extra grill, fenders and front bumper. There is also extra complete dash instrument cluster. Unbelievable how much the cluster weighs. This GM car is a radical and rare body style that is awesome when compared to the "yawn" Tri-Five offerings from Chevy or the other GM product lines. This car is long, sleek, low and shows real engineering artistic design. Oh, it has Fins. Big fins!. The odometer shows 56003 miles. It has been park for 25-30 years. There is a clear West Virgina title.

Car is shipped out of Cookeville TN. Car can be restored to new owners taste right here in our shop to what ever level is desired. Any questions or comments will be answered by eBay email or call 931-432-6377 Be realistic in your bidding.

2013 Buick Enclave

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.

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:

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
