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!

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.

The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.

NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
