1954 Buick Skylark Base Convertible 2-door 5.3l on 2040-cars
Sarasota, Florida, United States
|
Up for bids is my 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible, number 709 out of 836 built. I bought this car in 1970 and have had many years of enjoyment, but now its time for you to enjoy. She needs restoring and is a good candidate. The original Dynaflo transmission has been nicely rebuilt, the generator is rebuilt, the engine is original and runs smoothly and strong. The entire muffler system has been replaced to resemble original. Also, the gas tank has been replaced and has only had corn free gas in it. All the gauges work! The hydraulics for the windows, top and seat do need rebuilt, but the car comes with all new window cylinders purchased from HydroElectric ($500 worth). The old rotted cylinders have been removed.The interior needs a total redo but the door panels are decent for its age. The trunk pan has been replaced and frankly not correctly, leaving out the spare tire well, but the underside still looks very good. She was originally Malibu Blue and was repainted white in the 60's. I repainted her white again and did necessary body work in the early 90's to maintain her. The top is also from the 60's, has no rips or tears but the plastic widow zipper has become unsewn. All the glass is good, at least were a year ago when they were put down to work on the hydraulic mechanism.
I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. There is NO warranty, but have tried to be upfront and honest about its condition. I will do my best to help you with your shipper (Yes, it needs shipped unless you are close to 34239) but know I have to travel a lot so we will have to make concrete plans. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. My phone # is 941-953-9565 and does not receive texts. Thank you for your interest. |

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production
Sat, Oct 24 2015Due 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.
Question of the Day: Best recipient for supercharged GM V6?
Wed, Apr 20 2016The good old Buick V6 engine was built from 1961 through 2008 (including a decade of production by Kaiser-Jeep) and went into way too many General Motors vehicles to list here. In 1991, the supercharged version of the 3800 was introduced, with a Roots-style Eaton blower on top, and now you can find these engines in just about every junkyard in North America. The 3800 shares a bellhousing pattern with the also-made-by-the-zillions GM 60° V6 engine, which means that it will install (with varying levels of sledgehammer clearancing and/or axle mix-and-matching) into plenty of GM vehicles that never received the 3800 from the factory. That means one thing: engine swaps! An excellent example of this is the 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV "Dustbuster" minivan, which is a fully caged high-performance road-racing machine that features a supercharged 3800 and 5-speed manual transmission under its long, vacuum-cleaner-snout-like hood. The RaceVan, in Springfield Monorail livery, will compete this weekend at the Michigan 24 Hours of LeMons race with Autobloggers Mike Austin, David Gluckman, and Alex Kierstein at the wheel. My personal choice for supercharged 3800 power, though, has to be the Cadillac Cimarron, preferably the not-so-sought-after Cimarron d'Oro Edition. Some bashing and welding and cutting and pasting and this lightweight Cavalier sibling could have well over double its original horsepower. So, what's your blown 3800 engine-swap choice?
