Hi, and thanks for the interest...Up for auction is an extremely rare 1962 Buick Skylark 2 door "postless" coupe with the 3.5 liter 215 cu in V8 ! Running and driving ! Clean Title and Bill of Sale ! All numbers matching !!! ... !!! ... with a stack of receipts and a newspaper from the seventies in the trunk. This car is bone stock and completely original. Everything that was installed on the car when it was new in 1962 is on it now....original everything from the hubcaps to the headliner to the white walled spare in the trunk.
This is a "black plate" California car...which indicates it has spent the majority of it's life, if not all of it's life in California since it was new. California is a little wetter than Nevada so you can expect a little rot here and there and some pitting and surface rust in places...but that is completely typical of a California car. The Value of this car is it's complete and untouched state. Rescuing classics and raw restorables has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember, and I cannot tell you how many cars I've found that are partially disassembled with parts strewn all over the back yard or carelessly thrown into bins...this is not the situation with this car. This car has never been disassembled, redone, tinkered with or disturbed. I bought the car from a Father and Son who had purchased it from the original owner to be the son's first car. Time went by, life went on and the son went to college and needed to sell the car for money for books and tuition and expenses. So, the car before me, has had only two owners in 52yrs !!! Beyond one lost hubcab and one little piece of passenger side headlight trim, nothing is missing or out of place.
The engine cranks right up without any knocks or unusual noises. The engine runs well with no overheating or strange behavior. The exhaust has a variety of holes front to back and sounds accordingly. The transmission shifts as it should through all forward gears and into reverse. The rear end doesn't whine and the car stops when you hit the brakes. Within the receipts that came with the car is the receipt to have the original carburetor recently rebuilt...although a new Edelbrock or Holley would have been less, they decided to keep it original and keep the original 4 barrel with the engine. I appreciate stuff like that when I'm looking at a car...going the extra mile to preserve the integrity of a classic, speaks volumes to me of the person making that decision.
I would not call this a daily driver at this point. The car will need minor attention such as a full fluids change front to back, a timing light hooked up and the car dialed in precisely, perhaps a new set of points and condenser or a solid state ignition upgrade, and the brakes bled and adjusted...really just basic fine tuning and preventative maintenance stuff. The engine in this car is one of the rarest engines ever produced by GM...the 215 cu in 3.5liter 195hp V8. Hailed to be decades ahead of it's time, this all aluminum lightweight and powerful V8 combined with a smaller postless coupe body and Buick amenities helped make this Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" for 1962. I would recommend taking every measure humanly possible to ease this car back into the life of a daily driver....slowly and cautiously with regard to the projected astronomical value of this car if kept in a complete state by Hagertys. These cars are projected to be of the next market highliners due to their rarity and compelling lines. This is an absolute sleeper with a super low reserve, just waiting for it's new owner. Where else can you find such a complete starting point on a 52 year old and extremely rare classic for under 3K?
The interior is worn, but completely original. All the original material is still on the seats. The headliner is the original polka dotted fabric with the tweed pinch welt. The knobs are in place, handles turn, and levers work. The heater fan operates and the switching mechanism for defrost or floor works flawlessly. The glass is exceptional and once again all original...the tiny triangular vent windows in the front have de-lamination staining and cracks and will need replacing but they are both there and easily replaced. The factory carpet is also intact to be used for patterning new carpet. Again this Skylark is so amazingly complete and untouched it is remarkable.
Good luck Everyone. Happy Bidding and I hope you enjoy the auction....winning stuff on ebay is a blast! Please have a look at the payment/shipping section....I offer a 5% discount to the winning bidder to help with after sale costs associated with getting your new toy home. I am available to talk anytime over the phone or email about the Buick...I love this car and can tell you anything you would like to know about it, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. As with any purchase, I advise and invite personal inspection...feel free to come by and have a look if you are close-by...she's a beauty.
Thanks again for the interest. I'm opening the auction at $1000, everybody enjoy the auction, have fun with it. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!!! |

If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.

When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
