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!!!!!

Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.

GM applies for 'Enspire' trademark for the second time

Thu, Dec 20 2018

When we wrote about the Buick Enspire concept debut in China earlier this year, we said "we wouldn't be surprised to see either an all-new crossover, or a redesigned current model, sporting the designs seen on this concept." Now it appears General Motors might be planning to go with Option A. GM Authority discovered a trademark application for the name "Enspire," to be applied to "Automobiles, excluding motor homes." This is the second time GM filed for the name, the first being in 2015. As always, applications don't mean certainties. However, we know Buick has a range of new models in development, it's losing the LaCrosse sedan and its crossovers sell quite well. If there's to be a new vehicle called Enspire, it shouldn't be hard to guess what kind it would be. GMA's previous investigations picked up clues that there'll be two new Buick crossovers, one about the size of the China-sourced Envision and sitting on the E2 platform that supports the Cadillac XT4, Chevrolet Malibu, and Buick Regal. Based on data in an IHS Automotive document, the site said the putative Enspire's platform code is E2UB, the U for utility vehicle, the B for Buick. The other crossover would sit above an Envision, below the Enclave, on the short-wheelbase C1 platform employed by the Cadillac XT5. We can probably take the Enspire concept's design cues as a preview of the future, if not its electric drivetrain. Designers carved the wide, formidable stance with curved and elongated versions of traditional Buick brand cues, such as the grille crossbar stretching into the headlights. A futuristic, art-filled and screen-heavy interior contrasts with genuine wood, and is probably best not to look at because Buick couldn't bring anything like it to production. The electric drivetrain included a 550-horsepower electric motor and enough battery to power a 370-mile range. Those figures seem a little outlandish given the potential price tag and the Buick badge. Besides, GM has other plans for a dedicated EV powertrain in development that should bow around 2021, and a Buick EV based on the Chevrolet Bolt's BEV II architecture. As such, a conventional powertrain seems more likely for an Enspire crossover, at least initially. The same IHS Automotive document said the E2UB vehicle would go into production in Shanghai in late 2019.

2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
