IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION..IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE BUT HAS IMPORTANT INFO IN IT...after reading, please feel free to call or email questions...

This is a "running" 1971 Buick Skylark 2 door w/ 350 2bbl V8, auto, I say "running" because it starts and drives, but leaks ATF from the front seal of the trans. You can drive it for a test drive, probably even 10+ miles but it drips constantly so eventually you'd run out of ATF or have to keep filling it up. THEREFORE I cannot reccomend driving it home, should be transported. Engine runs fine, smooth, no smoke. 
I expect this car would be a good candidate for a GS clone restoral project. Very low rust ( for its age ) and the rust that is there is mostly surface rust, on the outside of the body, not rusting thru from the inside.
No structural rust, frame is solid. This has been repainted and that paint is dead now also, but the body is basically straight and worthy of saving ( not like all the rusted out hulks from back east! ) The carb is new, battery good, starts right up.No AC. The interior is really excellent and even though I don't care for the fabric style, it's VERY nice inside. Re cover the seats w/ blue ( correct ) vinyl and you've got a real nice interior! 
NOW THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART! 
I bought this car as you see it. I bought it to "steal" parts from it to finish my real GS. So I took the following parts off and you will get what is described below:
I kept the aftermarket wheels and tires- YOU GET the stock steel wheels and very good 14 inch tires shown seperately in a photo. The stock wheels hold air fine and will be installed before pickup.
I kept the front and rear bumpers, YOU GET my 72 rear ( the kind that has the rubber strips ) stock bumper in very good condition. YOU GET my bent stock front bumper ( for a core? ) although it will be loose from the car. I KEPT the steel radiator top cover ( you get my wrinkled one ) the hood latch and support ( my latch is good but the support bracket is no good ) YOU GET my old parts in case you can use them. Hood will be lashed down with a motorcycle type strap for test drives and transport. I kept the fan shroud, mine was destroyed so you will need another one.
That's about it! I took the photos before I removed the bumpers so you can see that it was not wrecked, so when you put it back together it will fit perfectly..NO SIGN of previous wreck / damage.
NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS, please feel free to call or e mail. Stu 619-315-8428
Thanks!

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

GM recalls nearly 24,000 Buick Regals for brake issue

Mon, Jul 18 2022

Buick is recalling 2018-2020 model year Regals to address a software defect in the braking system that would result in a loss of power assist under certain circumstances, making the brakes difficult to operate and potentially leading to a crash. In total, 23,734 models are covered by the campaign. "In the event of a partial or full loss of vacuum-brake assist, the vehicle’s hydraulic-brake boost is designed to supply supplemental pressure to the vehicleÂ’s brake system. A software error in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) may fail to activate the hydraulic-brake boost under these conditions," GM said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the vehicleÂ’s vacuum-power brake assist partially or fully fails, braking events may require additional stopping distance, depending on the brake pedal force applied by the driver. Increased stopping distances could increase the risk of a crash." GM says that a warning indicator will illuminate in the dash if the system completely fails, and drivers may notice an increase in brake pedal resistance. Failure will not render the brakes inoperable, but they will require more force to operate. GM has begun notifying dealers of the defect; owners should be notified starting in August.   Related video: Recalls Buick GM Safety Hatchback Wagon Sedan
