1948 Buick Roadmaster
Chopped started by an apprentice of famous customizer Joe Bailon, "Candy Apple Joe". Chop needs finishing, but is set into place and looks great. I purchased this car 4 years ago from an older gentleman in Sierra City, CA. His son worked with Joe Bailon and handled the chop himself. It was an all original California car before the chop was performed. The car is rust free, with only surface rust on top of the roof. Otherwise, the floors, all fenders, hood, decklid, and chassis are completely dry. The car is mostly complete, minus interior. Side trim is there and in good condition. Grille & bumpers in great condition. Rear glass is installed and good condition. This car has great potential. I do not have the time or money to follow through with it. I hope someone can see the potential and continue the work needed to put it back on the road. Here are some facts and details: -Rust free (top of roof has surface rust) -Chassis is all original and rust free -Floors are solid, rust free, no patches -The rear tailpan, located beneath trunk area does have rust....the only area of rust on the entire vehicle. I have included clear pictures. -All fenders are in great condition, no previous repair, rust free, no major dents, and complete with fadeaway pieces for doors -All side trim is included and in good condition -Hood is not original to car, but is an original paint hood that I purchased in Oklahoma. It is in beautiful condition and perfect for restoration. -Decklid is in primer and excellent condition. Opens and closes perfectly. -Trunk floor is dry and rust free, minus the tailpan section which is not part of trunk floor. -Most of inside of body has factory undercoating and has preserved the metal nicely -Front doors line up nice, and open and close just fine -Dash is all original and complete -Steering wheel is in great condition and ready for restoration -Original side window trim is included and great condition. -Interior window garnish moldings are included as well -Window regulators included -Grille and bumpers are straight and excellent condition -Lots of misc. interior trim pieces and other cosmetic pieces are included. Work needed: -Chop will need to be finished, especially in the rear fenders/trunk area -All original body pieces are included....nothing missing to complete the chop -Tailpan piece will need to be patched or replaced due to the rust -Hood is not bolted to hinges currently -One hood latch is missing -Needs motor and transmission. I have included as many pics as I could to show an honest representation of the car. This is a full project car, and will take somebody who knows what's involved to complete it. With that said, if done properly, this could be a very nice custom and very valuable too. This is a true Roadmaster, the biggest and best of Buick. Please ask any and all questions. I want my buyer to be completely clear of what to expect. The car is located in Orange County, CA and can be viewed anytime. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements. |

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, 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.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
