Description summary: ONE OWNER!!! 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible with original rebuilt 350 engine/ transmission runs and drives.  Please see full description below.

Read a full description of the vehicle below

   

 

Engine and Transmission:

The engine is a 350 which was rebuilt not too long ago by the original owner along with the transmission. The engine runs strong no smoking or knocking and no oil leaks. Engine bay looks good as well as underneath vehicle. The alternator bracket is missing. 

 

Body and Paint:

As you can see from the pics the car is a project car. Even though it runs and drives it does need some body work and paint. Front right fender and hood were replaced due to rust. Will need some adjustment to get the gaps just right. The doors close like refrigerators, excellent fit. The convertible top is in pretty good shape except for a few minor tears here and there as can be seen in the pics. There is some rust bubbles on trunk and some on quarter panels as can be seen in pics. The floors and trunk floor is solid no rust there or under the doors. The body was removed from the frame during the engine rebuild and all new rubber bushings, suspension bushings were replaced. The frame was also painted with antirust paint. Frame is solid. The rear bumper, front grill, left headlights, are missing. The center cap for the steering wheel is also missing but this does not affect the functionality of the steering wheel. The rest can be seen in the pics. Again it is a running and driving project but will need some body work and elbow grease but has a very good foundation.

 

Electrical:

All of the electrical works as it should.

 

Brakes and suspension:

Brakes good, steering wheel has very little play.All tires will need to be replaced. Very dry. They do hold air however.

 

Frame and under carriage:

All of the bolts, bushings, connections and ties were replaced during rebuild when frame was removed. The exhaust sounds good  with the dual exhaust.

 

Glass:

All of the glass is present.  The rubber seals are in very good shape. All windows go up and down as they should. The windshield is cracked.

 

Interior:

The interior is in very good shape. All of the knobs, handles, seatbelts, plastics are all present all of the seats are in great shape except for a small amount of stitching that come off from one of the threads in the rear seat, but beyond that it looks great. Carper is in good shape. The dashboard is excellent no cracks. 

 

Driving and Handling:

The car runs and drives but does need some tlc to be road worthy.

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
