1969 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe Highly Optioned on 2040-cars
Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
This is for a 49,000 original miles unmolested classic car. I got the car from California and am the third titled owner. The car was originally Poly Green with a metallic green interior. It has an older White color change (the only change from being stock). Split bench front seat. 350-4 engine and automatic on the column. Many options, Options included dash clock, speed alarm, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, tilt column, lighted rear view mirror.
This car is a true survivor and has not been modified other than dual exhaust and color change. It's as original as you can find. Body: All floor boards and trunk are supper solid with no rust holes or weak spots. Body is very solid with some spots of rust just starting. The paint looks good but is showing some wear. There are some pitting and small holes at bottom corners of rear glass, some left rear quarter panel and driver side rear tire housing bubbles (nothing serious and not rotted out). Nicks and scratches. Looks great for a driver and gets looks everywhere but not showroom condition. All glass is good. Exterior: Tires are good. Ralley rims in good condition but could use cleaning and possible freshen up the black paint. All stock (not cheap after market) center caps included. Great front chrome fender, rear chrome fender is straight but has a rust spots and could use rechroming. Rear wheel well trim and rear quarter panel chrome trim is missing. Interior: Great dash, headliner and seats. Carpet is torn by passenger foot area, rear package tray is weathered from the dry dessert. Door panels are good but arm rests could look better if replaced. Rear side panels show aging. Two dome lights in the rear, one is missing. Radio is 100% original but not working. I have an untested spare I bought. Clock is not working, front power seat motor is not working. a/c need charge has slow leak somewhere. I have not looked into the clock and front seat to see if its a simple fix or what. Mechanical: Everything has been inspected by two different shops. Anything needing repair was replaced. Many new gaskets installed. Starts, stops and shift like it suppose to. Here is a list of new or newer parts and service: Battery; rear coils; shocks; brake lines; suspension parts; brakes; fuel pump; tune up serviceable parts; new dual exhaust off stock manifolds with performance mufflers and many other parts. I have at least 5 years of all maintenance records and receipts. Does have one lifter that ticks that was checked out. They said it was a little worn due to type of oil used but not serious enough to fix. This is a very nice smooth running car. No trailer needed. I would not hesitate to drive this cross country! You can save on shipping with this one! Will entertain trades of equal or better value. I'm selling it because I have two 69 skylarks. I've disclosed everthing I can think about. Please ask questions. This said, this car is 45 years old and is being sold as-is. Please text questions to Jim 815-482-0732 |

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
