1972 Buick Gs 455 Stage 1 on 2040-cars
New Port Richey, Florida, United States
|
1972 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1 I will start off by saying this car has a Stage 1 motor from a 1970 GS and was originally a Skylark with a 350 that was built in Flint, Michigan. The odometer says 28603. The title is exempt here in the state of FL. This Buick has been great in the time we have owned it. It has always been easy to start and started every time without any issues. The AC is cold and the fan blows strong. The power steering is smooth and easy. The Brakes are also nice and have a good strong feel. The Transmission has a slightly higher than stock converter in it that puts all the power to the ground and goes through all gears strong. The power windows work well. The Radio is not anything special but gets great reception and sounds good. The Headliner is in good shape and has no tears or sags anywhere. The shoulder belts are tied up to the headliner and work as they should with the lap belt. The power seats also work well in both directions. The seats are all in great shape and are very comfortable. The Paint is about a year old, and shows well. I would say it is driver quality. There are a few gauges in the car. There is an Sunpro tach on the steering column, and 2 Autometer gauges mounted nicely under the dash. One gauge is an Oil pressure gauge and the other is a Water Temp gauge. Both read accurately. There are 2 electric fans mounted on the larger aluminum radiator that are controlled by a switch under the dash just to the left of the 2 gauges. This car was set up by the previous owner to be a good street/drag car. The tires in the rear are Mickey Thompson drag radials. The wheels have been painted. Some of the black paint is cracking and you can see they were painted blue before. The trunk is clean and free of any rust issues. the Battery is mounted in the trunk as well. The bumpers are both straight and look good, they dont look like they have been chromed before, looks good for being original, but not perfect. The car is a great driver and everything works as it should. It has been great to us, and done everything well. I encourage and welcome anyone interested to come see and drive the car before they bid. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. Please do not bid unless your funds are ready and your prepared to win.. I plan to sell this car, as we have too many cars and not enough space. Thank you! |

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
