IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION..IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE BUT HAS IMPORTANT INFO IN IT...after reading, please feel free to call or email questions...

This is a "running" 1971 Buick Skylark 2 door w/ 350 2bbl V8, auto, I say "running" because it starts and drives, but leaks ATF from the front seal of the trans. You can drive it for a test drive, probably even 10+ miles but it drips constantly so eventually you'd run out of ATF or have to keep filling it up. THEREFORE I cannot reccomend driving it home, should be transported. Engine runs fine, smooth, no smoke.

I expect this car would be a good candidate for a GS clone restoral project. Very low rust ( for its age ) and the rust that is there is mostly surface rust, on the outside of the body, not rusting thru from the inside.

No structural rust, frame is solid. This has been repainted and that paint is dead now also, but the body is basically straight and worthy of saving ( not like all the rusted out hulks from back east! ) The carb is new, battery good, starts right up.No AC. The interior is really excellent and even though I don't care for the fabric style, it's VERY nice inside. Re cover the seats w/ blue ( correct ) vinyl and you've got a real nice interior!

NOW THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART!

I bought this car as you see it. I bought it to "steal" parts from it to finish my real GS. So I took the following parts off and you will get what is described below:

I kept the aftermarket wheels and tires- YOU GET the stock steel wheels and very good 14 inch tires shown seperately in a photo. The stock wheels hold air fine and will be installed before pickup.

I kept the front and rear bumpers, YOU GET my 72 rear ( the kind that has the rubber strips ) stock bumper in very good condition. YOU GET my bent stock front bumper ( for a core? ) although it will be loose from the car. I KEPT the steel radiator top cover ( you get my wrinkled one ) the hood latch and support ( my latch is good but the support bracket is no good ) YOU GET my old parts in case you can use them. Hood will be lashed down with a motorcycle type strap for test drives and transport. I kept the fan shroud, mine was destroyed so you will need another one.

That's about it! I took the photos before I removed the bumpers so you can see that it was not wrecked, so when you put it back together it will fit perfectly..NO SIGN of previous wreck / damage.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS, please feel free to call or e mail. Stu 619-315-8428

Thanks!

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
