1969 Buick Skylark 2dr Ht A/c Auto Very Nice Car on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is a very nice 1969 Buick Skylark 2 door hard top. What I have for sale is a very nice car that turns heads and runs and drives GREAT. What I DON’T have for sale is a $40-$80K fire breathing dragon, beast of a hot rod. This is a car that you can get in, turn the key and drive to anywhere and enjoy it. The best part is that the pricing won’t BREAK THE BANK. WAAAAAAY less than $20K will buy this car and your money will be well spent. These cars are not readily available and continue to rise in price about 8% - 12% per year. With normal, routine maintenance I believe that this car will last for decades. In the late 60’s and early 70’s Buick was well known for its MONSTER HIGH TORQUE engines and its high line cars. The Buick name meant luxury and that did not always set well with the high performance guys of the day. If you wanted a “hot rod car” then you had to give up all of the FRILLS that went with the luxury cars….RIGHT? Well as we have seen in recent years you can own a 12 second car or 180+ top speed car , from the factory ( ZL1 Camaro, Shelby, Corvette etc) and drive it around with the windows rolled up and the A/C on, cruise set at 80 and get 20+ MPG. Some people want to look at, drive, or own the screamers of that era which in this case would be the big block version of the GS or GSX. This car is NOT that. This is the Skylark Custom. It still carries a 350 V-8 with 280 factory rated H.P. and 275 Ft.lbs torque and a 10.25:1 compression STOCK!!!! This car comes with its ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS, high compression Buick 350, that will still bark the tires, shifting, when you push it. The automatic 3 speed transmission shifts nice and smooth when you’re just “DRIVING” around. This car is at home in the neighborhood at 30 m.p.h. or on the highway. It loves 75 m.p.h. It seems to just “float” down the road. Both the engine and transmission have about 13K miles on them and BOTH perform well. The dual flow master type exhaust gives this car a GREAT exhaust note and still is quiet enough at highway speeds to enjoy the aftermarket stereo. Power steering and ICE COLD FACTORY air conditioning finish up just what you would expect to find in a nice car that you may choose to drive every day. This car is that nice and that dependable. This car was refinished several years ago but still looks GREAT today. It is finished in its factory colors and shows no sign of any previous body damage. The windshield has a light scratch and a single “star” in it. The rest of the glass is in near perfect shape, as is the chrome and bright metal on this car. The front and rear suspension is in GREAT shape and it drives VERY WELL. The interior is in excellent condition with the exception of the headliner that I will replace before it leaves here. Just to be clear. It will have a PERFECT headliner the correct color when it sells. The body on this car is very straight and only shows a couple of “chips” or dings’. I don’t go on and on with a 10 page list of what all has been done and when. How about the fact that this car just does everything that it’s supposed to do and more. Add to that the fact that it has a near new appearance. I don’t need to tell you that I put new locking lug nuts on it and blah, blah, blah. It’s just right. Under the hood and under the car is nice and rust free. This is a nice car that has been very well maintained and can be driven home from Corpus Christi, Texas with confidence!! You may have questions, please feel free to call. Scott 361-331-3322. I can and will assist with shipping WORLD WIDE.I have been in the restoration business for more than 2 decades and yes, my opinions are mine. My opinion is that this is a very well done car that is used to being driven and performs as it did the day it was purchased new……45 years ago. Hard to find these days. As this car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to stop this ad at any time for any reason. |

Early 2024 Buick Envision pricing is out, and there's some good news
Thu, Feb 1 2024Early price guide data is out for the refreshed 2024 Buick Envision, although we're still waiting for the Envision to emerge for behind-the-scenes drama. The automaker announced its handsome midsizer with a single photo last June, promising the debut of Super Cruise and more information before the end of the year. There have been no official updates since then. The last unofficial update came from GM Authority, the rumored intel being GM pushed the Envision's market launch to the end of this year, and Super Cruise had been nixed from the menu. Autodata reported not long after the online reveal that Buick was culling front-wheel-drive Envision trims, and that's borne out by pricing. This move usually raises prices by four figures before inflation, the profit motive, and Wall Street obligations exert their pressure; such is the case here, too. The 2023 Envision Preferred FWD still shown on the Buick retail site starts at $34,745, but the early MSRPs show buyers will need another $2,500 for a chance to open the door on a 2024 Envision. However, there's good news for everyone who wanted an AWD Envision. Assuming destination holds steady at $1,395, the AWD base prices and their differences from 2023 AWD trims are: Preferred: $37,295 ($1,150 less) Sport Touring: $39,795 ($900 less) Avenir: $48,395 ($460) Hard to complain about two of three trims costing less, and the flagship trim only costing $460 more. Oh, and the middle trim was called the Essence in 2023, we'll eventually learn if the name change to Sport Touring involves a new feature set.  As to changes, Buick designers gave the SUV's front end a complete overhaul up front. A bigger grille is positioned lower on the front fascia, there's reworked bright trim, and the new Buick emblem on the hood. Headlights are now integrated into the bumper, Jeep Cherokee-style, and LED daytime running lights replace the outgoing Envision's headlights. The revamped look brings the Envision in line with other recent additions to the Buick range, like the Encore. Because Buick released one picture for the summer reveal, we still have no idea what the Envision's back end and interior look like. In our previous post on the delay, we mused that GM might get good news and move the production date up from year-end. GMA says that's what's happened, production now slated for Q1 of this year at one of Buick's plants in China.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
