1971 Buick Skylark Convertible Custom on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
|
Miles: 92,389 Pros: Power windows for all four. CD player Original rag top still works Crager rims Original leather interior Body is smooth and the paint has only a few dings from other cars kicking rocks up. It's blue. That's a pretty blue, even you've got to admit that. Cons: Heat disconnected (honestly, I'm located in Florida, does anyone really need that?) A/C needs new tubing in order to work Speedometer needle fell off some mold on ragtop (Can be resolved via top bleaching) Rust due to salt in the air. Rust in the trunk Drivers seat has a small stain in the shape of a square. I can provide pictures if asked. Beside the speed gage there is a blacked out circle for some ungodly reason. Previous owner said the man before him blacked it out. I'll never know why and it will plague me for the rest of time. Really important things: Engine issues and would personally consider it a project car. It is still able to be driven around for small things but not for long distance. I do not take it on the freeway as it cannot maintain 70mph without backfiring. Mechanic checked it was an oil pressure problem and I was unaware of this issue until recently. This is, unfortunately, a problem from the previous owner. I had been told that the oil pressure gage was simply not working. The buyer would be responsible for arranging pickup and shipping if need be. For payment, the rest of the money paid after the deposit will be cash in person or via paypal. |

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
