For sale is my 1961 Buick Electra 4 door hardtop. This car spent all it's life in Arizona. I have done a lot to this car in the past year. Recent paint, Rebuilt brake booster, new master cylinder, new tires, new interior, new carb, overhauled engine, rebuilt torque converter, rebuilt transmission, new interior lights, hubcaps, wheels, new brakes, custom made radiator, the list goes on and on. have hundreds of pictures of the resurrection of the car and receipts. I have way more into it than the reserve price. I reserve the right to end auction early as the car is for sale locally.
The car is about 95% completed. Little odds and ends to be 100% It runs and drives great! I bought this car to be a project for my father and I. He has since become very sick and we just don't have the time to complete it and enjoy it.
The car looks great and everyone that sees it, loves it. It isn't a concourse winner but isn't a rat either. Being that the car spent all it's life in Arizona, there is zero rust. It is solid everywhere. It is a cruiser, a car you can take to the car show or weekend cruises.
The new owner will need to finish off the little things left and make it their own. All the hard expensive stuff has been done and all the ground work for completion is in place.
Known things to finish,
Gas gauge doesn't operate.
Power seat doesn't operate
Missing front kick panels, but have the steel inserts
Rear window seal
Side window seals between windows
Power steering pump needs rebuilt
Ac needs to be converted to 134A and charged
Upper courtesy side lights need lenses
Modify air cleaner to fit new edelbrock 750 carb
I believe that is all that is left to finish it off.
Rear bumper has a couple small dents
I have a lot of spare parts that will be included with the car, spare bumper, extra transmission, and a whole lot more. If it is for a buick and goes on this car and I have it, it comes with it.

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.
Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
