1965 BUICK SPECIAL DELUXE
Up for Auction: SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
We want to move our cars, not sit on them with crazy
reserve prices. Check out our Feedback I didnt see a catagory for the SPECIAL so we used Skylark
Obviously this is a Special Deluxe model.
For a 50 yr old car this Buick is a really clean un-restored
survivor. Its had at least 1 repaint, white like the original color.
But dont see any real signs of bondo or rust repairs. Although
the rear 1/4s may have some rust on the lower spots or around
the inner wheel arch. Nothing major of course, its a solid AZ CAR.
The car always looks better in pics, but its still a nice body with
a nice original interior. If you check out how Buick sloped the
rear back window, it almost has a Fastback design to it making
for a better profile then most 4 drs.
Car starts and runs, but it does idle rough and once warmed
up it smokes. Someone installed a good size 4v carb with an
adaptor and that could be the reason it smokes so much.
It also smells rich when you are driving it. I drove the car home
at night on a 10 mile trip and it ran okay, but Id suggest at
least put an original 2v carb back on it first along with a good
tune up and see if the smoking goes away. If not then it may need
more works like valve seals or rings. Honestly my first guess would
be the carb and tune up stuff first.
The car has been a daily driver for the last few yrs, but recently
the gas tank developed 2 leaks so it was parked recently.
I would suggest just getting a new fuel tank.
RESTORE it back to stock or do something along the restomod
way, or rat rod and have an awesome 1 of a kind car
your friends only wished they had for such a low investment.
I hate to say it, but some people may look at this as a nice
rust free parts car, but I think its too nice for that myself.
Maybe even make a Clone 4dr version of the famous GS !?
DRIVETRAIN: best we can tell its a matching #s car with
the factory V8. Not sure if its the 300 or 340 motor but
probably the 4.9. Has options like PS, PB and AC. All the
AC stuff is there and connected, but its not currently functional.
The blower motor under the dash it bad (and it comes with a
new one in the box not yet installed) Not sure what else the
AC needs. Other details about what we know about the motor
was mentioned in the beginning of the ad.
Automatic trans feels good, shifts fine too. Not really sure if its
a 2 spd or 3 spd auto. Someone yrs ago
moved the shifter to the floor which works great and easy to use
and making it more fun to drive Ill be honest. Brakes work well
too. Drums all around stop the car fine, at the very least they
may need some adjusting because of a little pulling under hard
braking. INTERIOR: All original blue interior shows some wear
and tear for a car with 140k on it. But its actually in
nicer shape then most cars at this age. Dr side bench
seat shows the worst of it all. The chrome inside looks
really nice with no pitting and still shines great .
Gauges all seem to work okay. Still smells like a cool old
car and even the stock AM radio works ! Driving it home
the other night listening to some 50s and 60s music with
the windows all down, you almost felt like it was 1968 all
over again. Cant get the RR door to open, probably just
the latch or something. Trunk is very clean on the bottom
again, just a little rust near the 1/4s.
EXTERIOR: Original color was Artic White and its had at least
one repaint over the yrs, still acrylic enamel , Im sure over time
its had some body repairs but really they are hard to see.
Maybe its because of the white paint. But I dont see any signs of
huge bondo spots or rust repairs. Stainless and chrome not in
bad shape for being 50 yrs old. But again its not a restored car either.
SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and Im sure some bushings
are old and shocks, but again this stuff is easy to fix these days
then rusted out bodies. Its not as mushy or tank-like of a drive as I
expected to be. The car drives like a smaller 2dr car to be honest
and Im sure with a few upgrades it would be even more fun to drive.
Leave it stock or put some 20" wheels on it.
Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented Buicks on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes.
Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you.
With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
Follow the link to see all the winners and read about why they were chosen.

At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.
Scroll down below for the complete press release with all the details.
