1971 Buick Skylark GS clone
Been Garage kept and maintained for the 12 years I've owned it. 90% finished, needs new paint job, small minor body work, new registration and re-chroming on bumpers to bring the hi-performance muscle car to mint condition and value around 15K. Car is rust free with no corrosion
455 Motor is immaculate along the the TH-400 tranny set up with the reverse valve body Hurst quick shift set-up for fast shifting that will churp your tires between each gear. THIS CAR IS VERY FAST WITH LOTS OF TORQUE
Engine block has all after market springs, lifters, rockers, cam, pistons and manifolds and the transmission is set up with hi performance sprags to be sure the gears can handle the horse power without ripping them apart. Hooker headers, Flowmaster duel exhaust, Holley 4 barrel carb
Brand new, white vinyl top, black vinyl interior, black carpet and racing seats with racing harness seat belts. Racing Alloys with good tires can also include 20' chrome wires for additional 1K. Wood grain steering wheel
I just had the engine and transmission set up appraised by Gilbertson Automotive who build these cars and he felt very comfortable telling me 6K for both. I basically added 2K on top for the rest of the car because it does need minor work and paint. The custom "cranberry" paint was beautiful at one point if into keeping it the same color, changes from red to a crazy purple when its sunny then night time.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
