I have decided to sell my BEAUTIFUL 1972 Buick Skylark Convertible. I have owned this car for about a year and have had my fun so it's time for something else. The previous owner had the car for over 10 years. I am in my 50's and the previous owner was in his 40's. The car has not been beaten up.
This car is in VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION !!!
The odometer reads 75,990 miles. The car came from the factory without air conditioning.
The Skylark is blue with a black top and white interior (black carpet). The original color was orange. The body is very solid with only a few minor rust bubbles in the paint. The body is very, very solid for a classic in this area. Bring a magnet and you won't be disappointed. The paint looks reasonably good. There are a few chips in the paint and a light scratch on the trunk lid. The driver's door has a fairly large chip under the handle. The chrome should probably be redone as it doesn't shine like it should. Tail lenses could be replaced as well. The trunk is extremely solid. Unfortunately the previous owner removed the weather stripping between the windows and couldn't find it. So, it will need that. Some trim pieces are worn.
The white interior is in good shape. There are some tears at the bottom of the interior doors. The carpet, dash and glass look good.
The top is in very good shape also. There is only one small tear on the drivers side behind the back window --smaller than a dime. The convertible top goes up and down like it should. I did have to add a small amount of fluid this spring, There is a slight leak so it will have to be topped off from time to time. There is a white parade boot, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just drive without it.
Mechanically, I would trust this car to DRIVE ANYWHERE!! The engine is a 350 and I believe it to be the ORIGINAL ENGINE. I checked the numbers and they are correct. It always starts and sounds very mean. The transmission is automatic. There are full headers --no exhaust leaks-- to enhance your muscle car experience. The headers exit through flowmaster mufflers and a 2 1/2" exhaust. It drives nice and straight, and the brakes work fine. Wipers, heater, lights all work. The only thing I have noticed is that the left turn signal light sometimes stays on inside of the car --minor annoyance... Occasionally there is a small--very small leak on the garage floor --not much and not very often.
I have tried to explain everything about this classic honestly. Is it a show car? No. Is it a head-turning, fun to drive, reliable cruiser? Absolutely!! I honestly don't think you will find a Skylark, Cutlass, Chevelle, GTO, or LeMans Convertible in these years that is in anything close to this condition for this price. If you do, you should buy it. A little work could easily make her into a show car.
PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO. I have tried to show everything. See for yourself:

My reserve is VERY LOW on this car . As always...cash talks...but this is a GREAT CAR AT THIS PRICE!!! Again, look at what these are selling for and compare the condition.
If you are interested in this car, I strongly suggest the Buy-It-Now option so you do not miss out on it. You will not be disappointed!!!
It will sell.
IF YOU SEE AND DRIVE THIS CAR, YOU WILL BUY IT !!!
CASH ONLY !!! NO CHECKS WHATSOEVER !!! CASH ONLY !!!
I might consider an INTERESTING trade. I would ask that if you want to trade something, please email me a picture and info first. I would rather not have 150 calls about trades I am not interested in.
Feel free to email or call me at:
630-556-3955
or
630-709-3955 (cell)
Again there is a VIDEO of this car which shows EVERYTHING !!! Click this link:

I have a clean and clear IL title in hand for this car. Yes, it is in my name --perfectly legal in all ways. And, yes, I am a private seller.
I do require a $200 deposit upon auction's end. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction's end or the car will be re-listed.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I allow the car to leave my property until full payment is received and cleared. If you want to arrange shipping, you must do so yourself and do not expect the car to leave my house until Full Payment has Completely Cleared.
PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH FULL CONFIDENCE !!! 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK !!!
I am located 35 miles west of Chicago, 5 minutes off of I-88, 2 miles from the Aurora Airport -- Very easy to get to...

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
Buick begins offering 24-hour test drives
Mon, Jul 20 2015Even as the year's sales charts show a decline, Buick says its brand image is improving. To bolster that soft metric while it works on overhauling its lineup - consumers are clamoring for more crossovers - the brand will begin offering overnight test drives as of July 23. Buick trialled the program in Phoenix and got a good response, so it rolls out as an ad-supported nationwide campaign called "24 Hours of Happiness" as of July 22. The push is on probation for three months while Buick evaluates it, but they expect it to continue beyond 90 days. Cars will be sourced from the loaner fleets that dealers offer customers whose cars are in for service, so only dealers with such fleets will be able to participate. General Motors did the same thing in 2003 and 2004, at the time saying it led to more than 500,000 "extended" test drives and close to 190,000 sales. That program had a cash component, in that buyers were offered $250 if they chose a non-GM vehicle after their test drive. 24 Hours of Happiness won't come with any inducements; Buick is taking the long view, positioning this as support for the brand instead of as bait for immediate returns. The Phoenix dealer who ran the program first said that it got fewer bites than he expected, but that customers who took a car home "were far more likely to buy the vehicle." Cue the Regal GS hooning in three, two... Related Video:
Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.
Mon, Feb 8 2016An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.
