1965 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE, 300ci V8, AT This was refurbished approx 20 years ago & the photos clearly show it has been well cared for since. The paint is glossy & the top & interior still like new. It starts easily, doesn't smoke or leak oil & the engine makes no unusual noises. The dual exhausts put out a nice muscle car rumble. This is being sold as is straight out of the indoor climate controled garage it was recently "freed" from, locked up too long, a yellow canary caged & unloved. :( It simply needs to be driven & enjoyed rather than locked away. :) All that was done to prepare it for photos was a hand wash & interior cleaning. A full tank of premium gas was added to help clear up the few gallons of old. The car drives great but really needs to get out & run again on a consistent basis. There is no floor pan, trunk pan or frame rust in this convertible! I believe that fact alone proves this cars constant garage kept status. You will not believe how nice the top is! There is not a single rip or spot of dry rot. The old power top motor is weak & requires two people to "help" it up & down. Ahh... just one of the many joys of owning a classic car. Even Grandma needs help up & down & you still love her! :) Those are very classic, original bias ply Goodyear redline tires with no dry rot, not even in the tread! I don't have to tell you it takes a great deal of care to keep tires this old from dry rot. The wheels have full chrome & all centers. The bumper chrome is super bright & I suspect they have been re-chromed because I just can't imagine 50 year old chrome to look that bright but who knows this is a garage kept car with just over 75K. The body trim condition matches the bumpers in appearance. The carpet has no rips, not even under the floor mats, tho it is a little stained here & there: can't always have perfection! The bucket seats are still solid, tightly applied & very comfortable for their age. The piping has the tiniest bit of wear on the edges & 2 button accents are missing on the rear seat material but otherwise you can clearly tell this has been indoors: free of dry rot or heavy sun fade. The interior has no musty smells, in fact the car has that pleasant old car smell that for some reason make you love them even more. The dash is also original with the original AM radio in place (not working), original coloring, no rips in the dash pad, etc. The brakes, radiator, electrical system, wipers, dual exhaust, gas tank, fuel system, etc are all functional, solid & acceptable. Nice options include the adjustable drivers side mirror & front seat belts. The glass is all good, no cracks, chips, discoloration, even the tops rear plastic "window" is crack free. The passenger side rear glass needs an extra hand to get it up & down. The paint is not show quality, it is bright & glossy with no dull spots but there are light chips from bumps in a tight garage but no more than expected for its vintage. The body did not appear to have been rusty when repaired, dented yes, but no rust bubbles are popping out anywhere. I would say the paint is about 85% & more than attractive for a daily driver. Paint has been well applied, liberally over every surface evenly & correctly: under the hood, trunk lid, door jambs, etc & those details greatly add to the overall eye appeal of this cool ride. Please bid often & to win & you will quickly meet the reserve that is well below market value. Why? Because we want to actually SELL this vehicle the FIRST time its listed. Use the money you save to have it shipped or to spruce it up a bit. The winning bidder will get to brag to friends about all the money they saved! We don't have a Barrett Jackson price in mind or even need to get "BOOK". Its just time to get this classic to a home that will DRIVE it. We will take the money made & buy another classic car because we love them. We already have a car in mind so we won't be accepting trade offers. If you love cars thanks for reading & considering our listing, hope you enjoyed it & would greatly appreciate any helpful or positive comments. Heck, if you have something negative to say, go for it, everybody needs a good laugh now & then. We tried to get your the best description we could but certainly we missed something important so please feel free to ask anything you would like to know, your questions will be answered quickly, honestly & to the best of our ability. The auction ends at exactly 9:00 EST, 8:00 Central, 7:00 Mt, 6:00 Pacific, Friday, May 30th so please be there to win! A non-refundable $200 deposit is required from the winning bidder, due via PayPal within 24 hours after the auction ends, to hold the vehicle (this proves you are fully committed to completing this transaction). No trades. Full payment is due within 3 days of auction end via cash, bank-to-bank or wire transfer, or certified bank check (drawn on a major US bank). Clear title in my name is in hand and vehicle can be scheduled for buyer pickup by appointment at anytime after full payment is received and cleared. I can hold the vehicle in indoor storage for 15 days (storage is $10.00 per day starting day 16). We are happy to work with the buyer to arrange shipping. We realize the deal is not complete until you have the car in your possession & we want that as badly as you do. Its only fair that once full payment is made that you should get your purchased item quickly. Rest assured we will do everything in our power to insure that happens as quickly & safely as possible. Once you decide on a carrier we work directly with your shipper to get the job done & report back to you just as quickly. Anything you need, we are here to serve. This 50 year old classic car is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. Please don't bid unless you are serious about the pleasures & occasional disappointments involved with vintage automobiles. Thank you. |

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards
Thu, Jan 15 2015The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

Buick adds Sport Touring trim to sedan lineup
Fri, Aug 14 2015Buick has made a few tweaks to its sedan lineup today, announcing that a new Sport Touring trim will be offered on the LaCrosse, Regal, and Verano. It's best to think of the new Sport Touring models as Buick's answer to Chevrolet's limited range of RS models, focusing on very small style changes rather than any added performance. Best to leave that to the Regal GS, we guess. For the ST trim, Buick has fitted its three four-doors with new 18-inch wheels. These relatively sporty hoops get machined faces with black inserts, like those offered on the Encore Sport Touring and the Enclave Tuscan Edition. Also coming to the LaCrosse, Regal, and Verano Sport Touring is a new rear spoiler. Like we said, these are simple styling packs meant to spice up the staid but handsome exteriors of the brand's sedans. "These new ST models underscore the importance of design choices, while complementing the safety, refinement and connectivity technologies that are drawing new customers to Buick dealerships," Buick VP Duncan Aldred said in the attached statement. The new trim level will be available on all three vehicles this fall, with prices to be announced closer to the on-sale date. Scroll on for the official presser from Buick. Related Video: Buick Expands 2016 Sport Touring Lineup Distinctive sedans join Enclave Tuscan Edition, Encore Sport Touring DETROIT – Buick unveiled 2016 LaCrosse, Regal and Verano Sport Touring (ST) models today – sedans with distinctive exterior cues designed to set them apart from the pack. Each features special 18-inch wheels with machined faces and black "pockets," and a rear spoiler. They join the Enclave Tuscan Edition and recently announced Encore Sport Touring as special models expanding Buick's lineup with more design-focused choices. "Buick is reaching an all-new generation of customers by reinventing itself in terms of design, function and capabilities," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. "These new ST models underscore the importance of design choices, while complementing the safety, refinement and connectivity technologies that are drawing new customers to Buick dealerships." The new Sport Touring sedans – and Encore Sport Touring – go on sale this fall. LaCrosse Sport Touring includes Buick IntelliLink with Apple CarPlay capability, OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspot, remote start, eight standard air bags (including rear-seat thorax air bags) and leather-trimmed seats – with heated front seats.
Facelifted Buick LaCrosse caught in China
Tue, 01 Jan 2013Back in September, General Motors promised nine new or refreshed models for its Buick and GMC brands within 12 months, and while we've already seen what the updated 2014 GMC Sierra will look like, we're now getting our first look at what appears to be the facelifted 2014 Buick LaCrosse. Judging by a set of spy shots posted on Autohome showing a Chinese-market model, the updated sedan is getting a pretty big makeover, including a completely redesigned interior and a refreshed exterior.
From the outside, all of the usual midcycle updates have been made to the LaCrosse, including new lights and fascias. The new front end features a larger, reshaped seven-sided grille, LED-trimmed headlights and Buick's signature portholes are now mounted on the side edges of the hood to be more visible. The rear view has similarly small yet refined changes such as the new decklid with a chrome brow that stretches the full width of the car, to a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed out to the corners. From the single shot we can see, the LaCrosse's new rump looks very similar to the Hyundai Equus.
The second-generation LaCrosse helped reestablish Buick as a near-premium automaker with its interior quality, and the next model could very well up the stakes even more. The new cabin design ditches the wraparound wood trim on the instrument panel and door panels for a smoother, more contemporary look. While it's hard to make out all of the changes, we can instantly see that the center stack is now more upright with fewer buttons, but the biggest news might be the cabin technology the 2014 LaCrosse might offer. Checking out the shot of the center console, we see what looks to be a pad similar to the handwriting recognition technology used by Audi, which would make this a first for GM.
