This is a 1965 Buick Skylark Grand Sport. It was street restored about 13 years ago and still looks really sharp. It was originally triple black from the factory and was redone in Palladium silver with gray and black cloth interior. Options are air conditioning, remote drivers side mirror, power steering and brakes. The car runs great with its matching numbers 401 nailhead engine and Super Turbine 300 transmission. The rear end is a non positraction 3.23 ratio. The trunk pan and all the floors have no rust issues as it was always a California car and built at the Fremont plant. There is a little spotting on the bottom trough corners of the back glass. Very minor. It still could use a couple of things. The original radio does not work but it does have an aftermarket stereo installed. The door and roof rail weather strips could use new ones. The air conditioning is still R12 and could use a charge. It blows but not real cold. And it needs a new heater core. The motor and transmission are super nice and the car starts and runs great. No issues. Overall a really fun car to drive and look at. A couple of real minor flaws in the paint but super straight. To see and drive the car call Bruce weekdays at 916-652-6852. I am about 15 miles east of Sacramento.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores
Wed, 05 Jun 2013After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
