This is a 1971 Buick skylark custom convertible with an olds 455 rocket motor. There is 95 k on the car and the motor has around 2500 miles on it. This car has a new dual flow master exhaust, top end rebuilt 455, new convertible top, new pistons and hydraulic lines for the convertible top, new interior , The ignition has been rebuilt, new alt, new brake booster and master cylinder, new heavy duty aluminum radiator, new tires, new ball joints, new rubber seals all around the convertible top, widow pillars, window sweeps, hood cowl, trunk, door seals, lock seals, carpet, oil pressure gauge, volt gauge,temp gauge, carpet in trunk. The car has a lot of power and runs and shift out smooth, The top is electric and works like a charm and the car does not run hot and there's no jerk when it shifts and the car has a system as well with two 12 inch J L competition audio in a box and six 6 inch speakers throughout the car with dual tweeters up front powered by an alpine deck. The rims are lexani 22 inch rims with continental tires. Ok so here is some things that are minor, but u should know paint has some chips and scratches and the bumpers need the plastic cap gasket that snap in. The old ones where removed when the bumpers where re chromed. There is a dent in the rear quarter panel. . The back window needs a quarter window chrome peace for the window. The passenger side has one and not the drivers side i All of the windows are power and work great and they need a slight adjustment as far as how they slide into the new gaskets we installed. The owner before me replaced the floor pans and had the name yo buck embroidered into the head rest.and he removed the A/C compressor,when he rebuilt the motor, but all of the A/c lines are still in places. This is all i know of that the car needs in which is minor considering the year of the car and the amount of work that has already been done.I am honest on all that i know and you may inspect the car before bidding and you are welcome to bring a mechanic as well to look over the car before bidding not after. The car is drove almost every other day and very road worthy and solid and catches a lot of attention when driving. This car has had a lot of money put in it and has not been treated like a hot rod. the car does not smoke or burn oil. and like i said jump in and go. The rims ride pretty smooth also and if you wanted to change them back to the originals it would cost around 800 with tires and you could sell these for a lot more. Ok so thats all the good and bad and this is the condition of the sale if you have a low score or no score please contact me before bidding and there will be a $ 1,000 deposit at the end of the auction. If you need the car shipped i can help with driving the car up on the car transport trailer and it will be up to you to make the arrangement with the shipping company.. I also wanted to place this in the ad that if you are planning on buying this car for a student in school please understand this car has a lot of power and needs to be expressed to them for there safety and others and hot rodding will only tear the car up and it's meant to cruise in. well other than that very fun car and nothing like dropping the top and hitting the road on a sunny day to cruise around listing to the rumble of an old muscle car.. Please feel free to ask any questions and if u need pictures of something i missed send me a message and ill get a picture to you. I am up for cash offers as well. The car will be up for sale in the local area and if it is sold that will end any auction in progress.!

Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering 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.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent 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.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
