This vintage Buick Skylark was the top of the line model, a factory sport V8 car with AT, full power steering & power brakes. This car has been fully redone & upgraded running gear with a 1969 Chevrolet  (Camaro/Chevelle SS/Corvette)  L-48 High Performance style built 350 V8 coupled to the noted Turbo 350 3-speed Automatic transmission:  This vintage 350 Chevy V8 was noted for durability and high performance with a 4-bolt main & factory 10.25:1 compression. It was factory under-rated at 300 horse & 380 ft-lbs of torque. The 350 V8 was built with modern performance additions such as the aluminum Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake & Edelbrock 4V carb, full Accell HP electronic ignition system & Accell high energy spark wires, low drag lightweight cooling fan & aluminum racing radiator. The engine is equipped with custom headers and a free flow dual exhaust…   giving horsepower estimates now well over 360++ horse. This 350 V8 is equipped  with tall polished aluminum valve covers and an aluminum air filter. Under the hood you will see newer alternator & wide belts, new hoses, battery & more.  The resto-mod also includes a removable face CD player in the dash, hidden behind a factory radio delete panel. A few of the photos the panel was removed to show the CD radio & speaker system.

This is an estate sale and I am helping the widow move this striking vintage muscle car on to a lucky new owner. As such, I do not have full history, but being a classic car collector I can honestly say someone is going to get one heck of a classic muscle car in impressive condition & running strong… a true head turner that you can hear coming your way.

SHOW & GO!! The car runs strong and drives well! It sounds awesome! It has a free flow exhaust and coupled with the headers sounds impressive…. as good as it looks! I broke the rear wheels loose and burned rubber on my first test run without actually trying.

An investment quality vehicle you can have fun with… for weekend fun or show!

VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668

Fri, Mar 5 2021

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a review-packed episode this week, but it kicks off with a discussion of Volvo's plans to electrify by 2030 and move their EV sales online. From there, they get into Greg's time with VW's game-changing new ID.4 electric crossover. Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan. Finally, they tackle a fascinatingly complex twitter question: What is the best 'economy' muscle car?

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.
