Unfortunately I am in a position where I have to sell my Skylark. This car was originally owned by my ex-wife's grandmother which she bought new in 1970. I bought it from her approximately four years ago. The car was driven on a regular basis until two years ago when I pulled the original Buick 350. The car now has a fresh Chevrolet small block 406. The motor has zero miles on it other than a few dyno pulls to which it hit approximately 550 hp and about the same in torque. The carb on the motor in the pictures is not included. The motor is currently just sitting in the car and has not been started since setting it in there. There is no transmission in the car, nor is one included. I do have the driveshaft. The rearend is the stock single track ten bolt. There is also no radiator included. I do have the original front bumper, it has been rechromed and just needs reinstalled. The car is extremely solid overall and still sports the original paint. These cars are getting extremely hard to find in this condition. It has always been garaged until this year when I was forced to remove it from storage. I can not stand the thought of it sitting outside through the winter. There is some rust around the front windshield and rear glass. There is also a little bit of rust in the lower front fender about the size of my fist. I will post more photos of these areas as soon as I can. The Weld wheels are included. The two front tires are brand new and the rear tires are brand new 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets. The car also has relatively new air shocks on the rear. This car is the perfect winter project. There is over ten thousand in the motor alone, not to mention another fifteen hundred in wheels and tires. I will require a five hundred dollar non-refundable deposit within 48 hours. After that, I will release the car upon the transfer of funds. I do have the clear title in hand. Remember this, if you bid on it, then you bought it. Please ask any questions ahead of time. I will answer all questions to the best of my knowledge. The car is also being advertised locally. I am up for offers, so feel free to e-mail me. Thanks for looking.

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.
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.
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
