1965 Buick Skylark Sad to say I have to sell my 1965 Buick Skylark in order to buy a house. I started this car three years ago and have over $43,000 into this car. It was a frame on restoration. 1965 Buick Skylark with a new Chevy 454 complete Roller motor with Demon 950 carb and dyno'd at 426 to rear wheels. Cam is a custom grind by Lumanati and car has a mean sound to it. Trans is a TH400 just rebuilt with shift kit. Custom cut driveshaft. Car has power steering and heat. Radiator is 3 weeks old by Griffon with built in dual electric fans and just paid $1476 for this set up. Gas tank was replaced along with sending unit. Painless Wiring harness throughout the car. Car is lowered 2" with lowering springs and air bags in rear and lowering springs and drop spindles in the front. Front has tubular upper and lower control arms along with power disc brake conversion. The interior is all brand new as of this season. Car was painted Candy Gold this past year and there is no rot or rust in this car. Over winter I put in an Eaton Posi traction rear end with 3:73 gears and B&M ratchet shifter. Wheels and tires are Boss 18" and are only 6 months old. Front fenders were rolled so it would not rub. Exhaust is all new headers 2 years ago and header back is last year with two dual chamber Flomasters. Just added electric cutouts 2 months ago for $750 for that open header sound when pulling into the car shows. I have a 4" thick folder of receipts and warranties that come with the car. I know I'm forgetting all sorts of things but this is a very nice car for a fraction of the money. Front and rear bumpers were just rechromed. Have a bunch of spare parts that go with the car too. Have any questions ask away. Motivated Seller. Make offers |

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.

Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
