TThis car was owned by a neighbor and she was going to sell it to junk yard for scrap.It needed a lot of work but i thought it deserved a better future so i purchased it and its been a strugle but well worth it in my opinion.The motor is a 1973 350cc that came out of a truck and thats all i know about its history.From here on its an educated quess as to what has been done.After removing the valve covers we noticed how clean and new everything looked but we were having trouble developing power.So we soon relized that the lifters were set for hydraulics when in fact they were solid lifters.Once everything was adjusted proberly boy did we have power.The engine runs and sounds great,it might have a mild cam in it and although i said it had 40,000 miles on it theres a good chance that it is a fresh rebuild with less than 50 miles on it.It has a elderbrock performance high rise manifold,an elderbrock 750 carberator with electric choke,headers,true duel exhaust with flowmaster mufflers,no cats MSD Ignition and and promaster coil.It is a car that is set up to be a street rod.All the computers have been removed and a lot of rewireing was done because of that and critters eating the wires.There are 3 brand new tires on it[p235 160 R15] new headlights,new hood support struts new kick panels and new trunk lock with seperate keys.All lights work including directionals brake back-up low beam high beam running lights interior under hood and trunk.It has new volt meter,oil and temperator and tach there is no speedometer and all guages lite up.Installed diferent seats in the front the driver side is full power the seats do not fold forward but the drivers seat will go forward enougth to allow acess to the back.The neighbor told me that the transmition had been rebuilt it does shift nice the brakes are good and the emergency brake works.The paint is Krylon smoke gray out of a spray can the carpets are so-so there was some rust and thats been taken care of and the body is super strait with no issues.There is no radio but there are speakers in back and all wireing is precent.The heat works good and the car came with air but is missing compressor and hoses.To sum up no mechanical issues no electrical issues and no suspension issues.If there are question either e-mail or give me a call at 575-434-5755.Also it has brand new battery and shocks and the fuel gauge works.You are responcible for shipping[88310]and a $500.00 deposit to paypal right after buying and we'll work final payment out later.The stock seats go with car if you want them.The windshield has a crack on the passenger side that was caused by a bee-bee gun not to bad and its circular and you can't feel it other than where the bee-bee hit.Also all the locks on car work good. |

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
