 HISTORY: This Skylark was an original Black Plate California car. which has spent the last 25+ years in the dry desert areas of Eastern WA. Owner has spent thousands in recent professional restorations on this solid low mileage Skylark convertible. This car is fully licensed with current WA State tabs as a daily driver. 


The Skylark was the top of the line model. 

1964 was a new body design for the Skylark, and the Skylark Fireball V6 had been voted as “CAR OF THE YEAR”. In 64 the Skylark engine was upgraded to a 225 cubic-inch cast iron block V6, rated at 155 hp at 4400 rpm & almost 16 MPG. This rare survivor still sports its original NUMBERS MATCHING engine & the factory FIREBALL V-6 air cleaner. This is a factory Fireball Sport V6 convertible with AT, full power steering & tilt steering wheel. This was a custom order, DSO built in California.  Data Plate show 1–A for date, January 1st of 1964, along with a 2-2. DSO (Dealer Special Order) number of 11300.

71,836 miles, solid & rust free CA built Skylark Convertible…

I have added photos with carpets removed, to show the floor pans as amazing condition, showing very solid with not even surface rust. Everywhere I looked I have seen no evidence of rust as in CA and WA do not salt roads, and we do get amazing condition survivors like this one.  You can see the factory checkered mat glued down in the trunk. Note how solid and shiny metal under the hood, around the engine & under the trunk! There is a spare rally wheel and trunk accessories and the factory manual is still in the glove-box of this rare condition survivor. 

Receipts show car recently tuned with new wires, plugs, points, cap, gas filter, new synthetic blend oil & Fram filter. You can also see the engine has been well maintained, refreshed with recent water pump, new hoses, belts and a new battery. We just added fluid to the convertible top system, and power motor works great. The new carpet was just installed and seat belts installed since photos were taken. The new boot just came out of the box, so the included trim clips still need to be added. The sporty 225-V6 engines are noted for good MPG, reliability, power & torque. Because these are based upon the V8 block, change overs are easy, along with Edelbrock aluminum intake manifolds, headers, carbs & dual exhaust systems to really make this a muscle type car if desired.

ESTATE SALE:  I am helping the owner clear an estate and move this classic vintage muscle car on to a new home. As such, I do not have full history, but being a classic car collector I can honestly say someone is going to get one heck of a classic muscle car in solid & original condition … a true head turner that is a great investment you can drive & enjoy!!

An investment quality vehicle you can have fun with… for weekend fun or show! The 1964 Skylark is one of the most sought after years, and the Skylark Convertible now books from $16500 to $26000 for fully restored examples based upon actual sales. ALL deals considered, if you have a But-It-Now type offer or any questions please call or text me at (206) 650-6100. Thank you!

This is not yet a #1 show car so please bid accordingly. Please ask questions prior to bidding. $1500.00 Deposit due at end of auction and balance within 5 days please. This is a 50+ year old vintage vehicle with a Clear WA Title in hand.

Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.

2013 Buick Encore

Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
