I am selling my 1971 skylark custom GSX clone. Originally a skylark custom that I bought from a well known Buick collector.. I bought it with a  rebuilt engine (350 4bbl) and I have put about 3,000 miles on it since. The car had/has no rust on it at all with all original body panels. The interior other than the carpet appears original in awesome shape. Carpet is brand new. I did the GSX cloning last fall. It has a re-chromed N25 bumper with stainless tips and an NOS GS front grill. I got the rear spoiler at a swap meet a very long time ago before I owned the car (that’s why I did the GSX thing!). I don’t know if it is a used original or NOS as it was a gray color.

The body and paint are excellent and the paint is less than 1.5 yrs year old. The painter did a 1970 GSX that won gold at the 2012 GS nationals, concourse class. The tires are new and the alignment that goes with them was done in the fall too. The options include

·        AC- blows cold out of bottom vent

·        Tinted glass

·        Gauges

·        Stainless wheel well and rocker trim

·        Body molding

·        Clock

·        Cruise control

·        Tilt

·        Map light

·        Power windows

·        Am/fm

·        8 track works

·        Rear fader and speaker

·        Split bench seat

·        Remote sport mirrors

·        Modern disc brakes

·        Power top

·        Console     

Everything works as it should. The car drives perfectly straight. No weird sounds, tires don’t rub it is a pleasure. It runs cool and doesn’t steam and leak anti freeze when you stop. I would drive this car cross country with total confidence. Many convertibles can be sloppy this is tight.

The rubber body seals are all original and some are cracked and hard. The front bumper and all of the stainless are original and so is the underside (no rust or dents just dirty). The glass looks great and is all original. There are no tears in the interior and it looks really good and clean. The top has two tiny tears see pictures. Exhaust has about 3,000 miles and is in perfect shape.

It is an awesome car to see and drive. I would classify this car as a beautiful driver not a competitive show car...The only things I would change would be the rubber moldings for the doors and top..This car has the original interior, and so on..Super solid car, with a ton of options..Drives 100% perfect and everything works...The clock works but the big hand falls once in a while while driven, needs to be tightened up..Eye catching vehicle...Front bumper is original, rear bumper is new and cost alot $$$....I have a small payoff through my credit union...This can be handled easily, check my feedback..Never no issues...

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.

Buick reveals wild GL8 minivan concept and Smart Pod concept in China

Fri, Nov 19 2021

Buick, being the hit in China that it is, decided to unveil a couple of concept vehicles at the Guangzhou Auto Show. One is the GL8 Flagship Concept, and the other is the Smart Pod Concept. Since an actual minivan is far more interesting than any “Smart Pod,” weÂ’ll start with the GL8 Flagship Concept. The exterior is meant to be luxurious and “dynamic” looking with its mix of colors, glass canopy roof, wing-shaped headlights and highly-sculpted body. ThereÂ’s hardly a piece on the car that isnÂ’t making a statement, and the highlights continue when you open the doors. It becomes fairly clear right away that this minivan is not one for family use, as itÂ’s only rocking four seats. That said, everybody in those four seats is guaranteed to be comfortable. Buick says itÂ’s using “zero gravity” lounge seats inside, and the cabin as a whole is inspired by Chinese mountain and water landscapes. That could explain the multi-color floor, as the blue section looks like it could be the water at the base of a mountain, surrounded by a beach. Features include a tea tray, 30-inch driver display, touchscreen on the steering wheel, full windshield-width head-up display and a new audio system that features speakers in the headrests. Buick says all of the carÂ’s functions can be controlled by voice, too. Beyond the obviously futuristic touches, this Buick minivan is just plain gorgeous. Its gold, blue and cream color combo and various materials used throughout look like top-notch luxury. WeÂ’d love to see some of this attention to detail and luxury trickle down into some of BuickÂ’s production cars. Smart Pod Concept Buick Smart Pod Concept View 17 Photos Unlike the GL8, the Smart Pod was designed in the U.S. It uses the electric Ultium platform and what Buick is calling the VIP electric architecture. The exterior design is basically what Buick has called it — a pod. Its lights use micro-LED tech to make them as sleek as possible. On the inside, Buick designed the Pod to be as spacious and airy as can be. It has a glass roof, a fully reclining and dedicated sleep seat and a modular seating layout. Other features include deployable tables, noise-cancelation  tech, an air purifying system and a 50-inch LED screen. It is powered by an AI assistant that employs voice commands, eye-tracking technology, integration with your mobile devices and machine learning to adapt to the user.

Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
