This car was purchased new by my father in law from Tatone Buick in Fairborn Ohio. Needing money for Dr. bills, he asked me to buy his baby from him rather than borrow money. I had several classic cars at the time and didn't really need this one, but I bought it and stored it in the garage where it has mostly sat for the last 20 years. I average about 200 miles per year driving it. The only things I have done to it in this time, besides changing the oil, is to replace the alternater, replace the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes years ago, put new tires on years ago, and put new hoses, belts and vacuum advance. The tires are almost 20 years old and still have the tips on them. Not sure if brakes were ever replaced, I have not replaced them, but have had no problems, recently the brake light on the instrument panel has been coming on but goes out when I pump the brake.
Car had Zbart rust protection when new and was done over and over again until my father in law was satisfied with the results. There is no rust on the floor or underside of the body anywhere, just on exhaust, drive shaft and A frames etc that just needs to be cleaned up. Car has never been cleaned up, restored, detailed, or painted;
There has been no body damage or rust or any kind of work or paint done to the body except the trunk. Someone tried to break into the trunk by taking the lock out, while my father in law still owned the car. I think they replaced the trunk lid but not sure. but the paint on the trunk is immaculate where the rest of the car is faded and has paint deterioration, but still looks good when cleaned up.
The interior is near immaculate, except for a couple of buttons on the front seat which I have, and the rear carpet has a bad spot.

Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too
Mon, 21 Oct 2013Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
