1972 Buick Skylark Custom convertible. Winning bidder will receive car as shown with 455 engine, also the original 350 4-bbl engine, original steel wheels and hubcaps.

Enjoy a GM A-Body CONVERTIBLE with big block engine at a fraction of the cost of a Chevelle, SS 454, SS 396, GTO, GS, or 442.

I purchased this car from the original owner 3 years ago. I drove the car in its original condition for about a month and then sourced and built a Buick 455 engine. I had a Maaco paint job done and then installed the 455. It's been my daily driver ever since. In that time I have done some performance enhancements including installing a posi, shift kit, shift point kit, Edelbrock AVS 800 carb, wheels/tires, Pertronix electronic ignition, etc. I also replaced the convertible top last summer. This car has power windows, tilt wheel, working A/C, power top (works perfectly, no leaks), power steering, power front-disk brakes, map light, auto-trans, posi rear end, working windshield washers, 2 1/2" dual exhaust. I've replaced the brake booster, front brakes, radiator, voltage regulator (external).

This is a nice driving car. Very smooth, very powerful, and really enjoyable with the top down. I've owned a 396 Chevelle before but I'd take this Buick in a second. Not only does it have more power than the Chevelle did but it's just more enjoyable due to the features. Steering wheel turns with one finger, very good brakes, huge low-end torque, working A/C, power windows. It's really the best of both worlds of having a classic car but with modern conveniences. The wheels are really nice looking "American Racing" wheels with Radial T/A tires in good shape. I also have a tach and some gauges installed. It has an electric choke and Pertronix electronic ignition.

The engine is from a 73 Buick Electra. I had the machine shop bore it .030, and it has a multi-angle valve job with Comp Cams springs. Engine includes Sealed Power hypereutectic 9.5 pistons, Comp Cams 268 cam (I have the spec sheet), Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock AVS 800 carb with electic choke, high flow mechanical fuel pump. I have pictures documenting the entire build.

This car is not perfect by any means so let me lay out the problems. The car frame is perfect (fully boxed due to convertible) and the body is decent. However, there is some rust in the usual locations for this type car. I've done my best to show them in my pictures. I just didn't have the money to afford a really good paint job at the time and the job Maaco did was pretty typical. Not awful but not perfect. The upolstery is in need of replacement or re-covering. The vinyl material is getting more stiff/brittle and cracks are in the driver seat and some of the rear seat. And yes, that's a child car seat in back. Used to have two of them in fact. The trunk floor is solid but it had a "protective" mat for years and it trapped moisture enough to cause the surface rust you can see in the picture. But it is solid. Just surface rust. These are the major things wrong with the car but if you have questions let me know. Mileage show on odometer and ad is not accurate. True mileage of car unknown. Engine has about 15K to 20K miles on it since it was built.

The winning bidder will receive the car as shown and also the ORIGINAL 350 4-bbl Buick engine, the original steel wheels and perfect hubcaps. The 350 is a good running engine and, will fire up without issue if prepped with points, wires, etc.

I'm saddened to sell the car but I have other priorities I must place ahead of it. For this reason, I'm listing this car with no reserve. Car will sell to the winning bidder. Very low starting bid to get the ball rolling. NO RESERVE.

Please email me if you have questions or wish to receive additional pictures.

2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...

Buick to add more GS models?

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
