1967 Buick Skylark Convertible (455ci 7.5l) on 2040-cars
United States
|
Up for sale is my 1967 Buick Skylark Convertible. I have enjoyed her for a while and now its time to sell her off and put the money toward a new house.
The car was frame off restored around 4 years ago and is still in damn good condition. Every single thing on this car was completed and NO shortcuts were taken. Every single thing on this car operates as it should. The Mileage on the dash is showing 29480, I can not validate. However, the Mileage on the car that I pulled the Big Block out of showed 31204, which is accurate as I validated with the son of the original owner. Body & Frame: All the frame and undercoating is still in great condition with NO rust, chips, or peels. Paint is an awesome 9 of 10 with one 1/4 inch paint nick on the tip of the hood and is visible within 1 foot (thanks to my son closing the garage door on me!). Chrome is 9 of 10 with NO rust and very mild pitting (bottom side of bumpers). Stainless trim is an 8 of 10 with some very light scratches visible within 5 feet. Front grill and trunk panel were stripped and painted flat black, mild wear and pitting is visible within 5 feet. Mechanics: The original 340 Wildcat motor was removed this summer and was replaced with a fully re-built 1972 Buick 455 (7.5L) (Comp Cams, etc…) Big Block. I have a little over 300 miles on the motor and can tell you it is CHERRY! Starts on first pull and runs perfectly. I still have break in oil and have yet to try her our…….If i hit 500 miles before she is sold I will have it re-serviced and gone through. At the same time I had the turbo 350 pulled and gone through, she is perfect and handles the torque with ease. All front end bushings were replaced this summer and Hotchkis Big Block springs (1 inch drop) were thrown in. She gets the hot air out the back end with a 2.5 inch full stainless exhaust with Super 40s. Big Block sound all the way! I had the power drum brakes fully serviced this past March and just can't see pulling them yet. They are working great and I have yet to have an issue.them rebuilt back in March and just couldn't see pulling them and putting them in a box yet. I do have a front end disk conversion kit sitting in the garage waiting for a rainy day….In Northern Cali those days don't come often!!! All the gauges are working to include all original lighting. Power top is hydraulic and still runs without a hitch. Interior: All interior was custom installed before i got her. I am not sure what the material is but it is not hard and cheap….very nice and classy feel. There is some light wear to the drivers seat but they are still fitted well, very clean and hella soft. NO rips, nicks, or shabby seams! Dash was polished down to stainless (originally black). Custom radio installed in the glove box and original radio in the dash (INOP). There are a few little trim pieces that are ready to get refinished or replaced, but all in all I would give the interior a modest 8 of 10. NOTE: I am retired and may be able to assist with transporting (in my enclosed trailer) as long as the car is payed for before i leave my house and the buyer pays my fuel. |

2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
