1972 Buick Skylark GS Stage 1

I will start off by saying this car has a Stage 1 motor from a 1970 GS and was originally a Skylark with a 350 that was built in Flint, Michigan.  The odometer says 28603. The title is exempt here in the state of FL. This Buick has been great in the time we have owned it. It has always been easy to start and started every time without any issues. The AC is cold and the fan blows strong. The power steering is smooth and easy. The Brakes are also nice and have a good strong feel. The Transmission has a slightly higher than stock converter in it that puts all the power to the ground and goes through all gears strong. The power windows work well. The Radio is not anything special but gets great reception and sounds good. The Headliner is in good shape and has no tears or sags anywhere. The shoulder belts are tied up to the headliner and work as they should with the lap belt.  The power seats also work well in both directions. The seats are all in great shape and are very comfortable.  The Paint is about a year old, and shows well. I would say it is driver quality. There are a few gauges in the car. There is an Sunpro tach on the steering column, and 2 Autometer gauges mounted nicely under the dash. One gauge is an Oil pressure gauge and the other is a Water Temp gauge. Both read accurately. There are 2 electric fans mounted on the larger aluminum radiator that are controlled by a switch under the dash just to the left of the 2 gauges. This car was set up by the previous owner to be a good street/drag car. The tires in the rear are Mickey Thompson drag radials. The wheels have been painted. Some of the black paint is cracking and you can see they were painted blue before. The trunk is clean and free of any rust issues. the Battery is mounted in the trunk as well.  The bumpers are both straight and look good, they dont look like they have been chromed before, looks good for being original, but not perfect. The car is a great driver and everything works as it should. It has been great to us, and done everything well. I encourage and welcome anyone interested to come see and drive the car before they bid.  I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. 

Please do not bid unless your funds are ready and your prepared to win.. 

I plan to sell this car, as we have too many cars and not enough space. Thank you!

The last Buick Cascada unceremoniously rolls off the assembly line

Mon, Oct 7 2019

Motorists in the market for a new Buick Cascada need to act fast. Peugeot-owned Opel has built the last example of the drop-top model in its Gliwice, Poland, factory, and there's no replacement in sight. Buick announced the Cascada's demise in early 2019, and GM Authority learned the model went out unceremoniously. There's no indication that the final example received a commemorative plaque on its dashboard, or is headed to a private collection; photos of it aren't even available. The dealership who ordered it might not know it's about to receive the last specimen of the breed. As a non-luxury, front-wheel-drive convertible, the Cascada was marooned on an island that Buick's rivals abandoned halfway through the 2010s. The Chrysler 200 Convertible and the Volkswagen Eos were discontinued after the 2014 and 2015 model years, respectively. Landing in a class of one likely raised more than a few eyebrows in Buick's product planning division, but it was a semi-enviable position that helped the firm sell about 17,000 units of the Cascada between the 2016 and 2019 model years. It proudly pointed out about 60 percent of buyers were new to General Motors. Left-hand-drive examples of the Cascada were sold under the Buick and Opel banners. Right-hand-drive models joined the Vauxhall range in the United Kingdom, and they wore a Holden emblem in Australia. The four flavors were identical with the exception of some brand-specific trim pieces and powertrains. None will get a successor; the aforementioned carmakers are no longer operating under the same roof, and the global convertible segment is steadily shrinking.  The Cascada's multinational provenance made more sense before General Motors sold its Opel and Vauxhall divisions to PSA Groupe, the Paris-based carmaker that owns Peugeot, Citroen and DS. The French firm pledged to keep producing cars for Buick for as long as necessary, but the former sister companies tacitly agreed to stop co-developing vehicles. The sedan and station wagon variants of the Regal are now the only Opel-designed, PSA-built model left in the the Buick portfolio.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
