- I have for sale a very cool 1970 Buick Riviera. These aren't seen very often any more. This one has a good running 455 V-8 and has an automatic transmission that shifts well. The car is long and low and rides good. The car has 54,973 miles on it. The paint on the car is called Sunset Sage. Kinda like a purple with a little copper in it. Has power brakes and power steering that are both working well. The following all work: all 4 power windows, horn, all lights, wipers, remote in glove box, tilt wheel, power seat, speed alert arrow and buzzer, speedometer, fuel guage, heater and defroster, glove box light, interior domes, temp. and brake warning lights, all turn signals and their dash indicators, quarterpanel turning lights, brake lights.
- The factory A/C does work and blows cold. These items don't work: radio, driver's remote mirror, passenger's door window switch. All of the other individual window switches are currently working.
- The body on this 1970 Riviera is really prety decent. There are small spots of rust through just above each rear wheel as seen in the photos. The paint is faded in a few spots, especially on the roof. The undercarriage is very solid and I have found only some surface rust. Trunk floor is solid as well with light surface rust present. Cabin floors look ok from underneath and seem very solid when you stamp your heel on the inside.
- The interior is decent as well with the worst being the very evident heavy wear on the front seat. Rear seat is good. Headliner is good. Dash is real decent. Door panels are good as well with some armrest cracking. Guages work and are clear and easily readable.
- The 455 V-8 runs well and the trans shifts good. The driver's side exhaust manifold has a leak and makes noise but not too bad. It gets quieter when the engine is warned up. A section of exhaust pipe will need to be added to the driver's side tailpipe rearward of the rear axel area. Maybe even the whole driver's side pipe. The other side is old but sounds ok. The chrome on the car is not perfect but decent driver quality. Glass is good.
- This 1970 Riviera is fun to drive and a 455 has good power. The interior is comfortable. This was pretty much a 1-year body-style so its unique.
- Please feel free to ask any questions. Personal inspection is encouraged. As-is, no warranty.

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
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.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
