Hi, and thanks for the interest...Up for auction is an extremely rare 1962 Buick Skylark 2 door "postless" coupe with the 3.5 liter 215 cu in V8 ! Running and driving ! Clean Title and Bill of Sale ! All numbers matching !!! ... !!! ... with a stack of receipts and a newspaper from the seventies in the trunk. This car is bone stock and completely original. Everything that was installed on the car when it was new in 1962 is on it now....original everything from the hubcaps to the headliner to the white walled spare in the trunk.

This is a "black plate" California car...which indicates it has spent the majority of it's life, if not all of it's life in California since it was new. California is a little wetter than Nevada so you can expect a little rot here and there and some pitting and surface rust in places...but that is completely typical of a California car. The Value of this car is it's complete and untouched state. Rescuing classics and raw restorables has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember, and I cannot tell you how many cars I've found that are partially disassembled with parts strewn all over the back yard or carelessly thrown into bins...this is not the situation with this car. This car has never been disassembled, redone, tinkered with or disturbed. I bought the car from a Father and Son who had purchased it from the original owner to be the son's first car. Time went by, life went on and the son went to college and needed to sell the car for money for books and tuition and expenses. So, the car before me, has had only two owners in 52yrs !!! Beyond one lost hubcab and one little piece of passenger side headlight trim, nothing is missing or out of place.

The engine cranks right up without any knocks or unusual noises. The engine runs well with no overheating or strange behavior. The exhaust has a variety of holes front to back and sounds accordingly. The transmission shifts as it should through all forward gears and into reverse. The rear end doesn't whine and the car stops when you hit the brakes. Within the receipts that came with the car is the receipt to have the original carburetor recently rebuilt...although a new Edelbrock or Holley would have been less, they decided to keep it original and keep the original 4 barrel with the engine. I appreciate stuff like that when I'm looking at a car...going the extra mile to preserve the integrity of a classic, speaks volumes to me of the person making that decision.

I would not call this a daily driver at this point. The car will need minor attention such as a full fluids change front to back, a timing light hooked up and the car dialed in precisely, perhaps a new set of points and condenser or a solid state ignition upgrade, and the brakes bled and adjusted...really just basic fine tuning and preventative maintenance stuff. The engine in this car is one of the rarest engines ever produced by GM...the 215 cu in 3.5liter 195hp V8. Hailed to be decades ahead of it's time, this all aluminum lightweight and powerful V8 combined with a smaller postless coupe body and Buick amenities helped make this Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" for 1962. I would recommend taking every measure humanly possible to ease this car back into the life of a daily driver....slowly and cautiously with regard to the projected astronomical value of this car if kept in a complete state by Hagertys. These cars are projected to be of the next market highliners due to their rarity and compelling lines. This is an absolute sleeper with a super low reserve, just waiting for it's new owner. Where else can you find such a complete starting point on a 52 year old and extremely rare classic for under 3K?

The interior is worn, but completely original. All the original material is still on the seats. The headliner is the original polka dotted fabric with the tweed pinch welt. The knobs are in place, handles turn, and levers work. The heater fan operates and the switching mechanism for defrost or floor works flawlessly. The glass is exceptional and once again all original...the tiny triangular vent windows in the front have de-lamination staining and cracks and will need replacing but they are both there and easily replaced. The factory carpet is also intact to be used for patterning new carpet. Again this Skylark is so amazingly complete and untouched it is remarkable.

Good luck Everyone. Happy Bidding and I hope you enjoy the auction....winning stuff on ebay is a blast! Please have a look at the payment/shipping section....I offer a 5% discount to the winning bidder to help with after sale costs associated with getting your new toy home. I am available to talk anytime over the phone or email about the Buick...I love this car and can tell you anything you would like to know about it, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. As with any purchase, I advise and invite personal inspection...feel free to come by and have a look if you are close-by...she's a beauty.

Thanks again for the interest. I'm opening the auction at $1000, everybody enjoy the auction, have fun with it. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!!!

China-market Buick Envista rumored possible replacement for the Encore

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Buick currently sells four crossovers, the Encore, Encore GX, Envision, and Enclave. That number will soon be whittled to three, the Encore expected to end production after this model year. If speculation provided by GM Authority is correct, there could be changes afoot in the middle of the line in time for the 2024 model year. Buick has said it will maintain four ICE-powered crossovers, so the brand will need something to fill the coming gap. GMA sources suggest the China-market Buick Envista could get the nod. Buick launched the coupe-esque model across the Pacific in August, a relation to the Chevrolet Seeker that appeared on the Chinese market in April. The Envista debuted the brand's latest design language inspired by pure-electric concepts like the Electra-X and WIldcat. Thin, angled headlights frame a wide, low grille, leading back to a roof that slopes into a high back and double spoilers. GM applied to trademark the Envista name in the U.S. in early 2019, then maintained it with extension requests until earlier this year. Then, in September 2022, the automaker abandoned the application, which could bode ill for whatever chance there was, if any. Another snag could be that the Envista is 182.5 inches long, 71.5 inches wide, and 61.6 inches high on a 106.3-inch wheelbase. Various reports have pitched the Envista to fill the (small) space between the Encore GX and the Envision; however, the Envista falls just 0.10 short of the Envision's length, and it's three inches smaller in every other dimension. On the other hand, the Envista is 11.1 inches longer and 0.1 inch wider than the Encore GX, with a wheelbase 4.1 inches longer. That makes a lot of overlap in the dimensional Venn diagram. Were the Envista to come as-is, it wouldn't so much be a replacement for the Encore as be a different kind of compact SUV from the Envision on a more modern platform. Further speculation from "sources familiar with the matter" says a U.S.-market Envista could get the Avenir treatment. Avenir marks the ultimate in Buick luxury, an appellation currently restricted to the Envision and Enclave. According to a separate report, the Encore GX is also headed into the Avenir club with the compact crossover gets refreshed for the 2024 model year. An Encore GX Avenir would adopt some exterior tweaks like 18-inch alloys, and turn a load of optional equipment available for the Encore GX Essence trim into standard equipment. Related video:

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
