I own a restoration shop and this is a car I am selling for a customer.  It is a 1965 Buick Skylark convertible with Grand Sport emblems.  He has owned it for about 20 years and all the modifications he has done over that time frame.  As seen by the black and gold plates, it has always been a California car so there are no rust issues.  The rockers, floors and trunk pan are very clean.  The body is real straight and shows very minor touch ups prior to this paint which is a real dark green.  There are two areas with scratches in the finish and these are shown in the close up photos.  One tire came apart and scratched the left outer wheel well.  On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say the paint and body are still a strong 8+ maybe a low 9.  The car is really nice and a little detailing and a good polish would help.  The engine is a 1970 Buick 455 with dual quads.  It runs great and plenty of performance.  The transmission is a Turbo 400.  The rear end is probably a 3.36 ratio.  He had the hood scoop installed to clear a larger air filter.  A stock hood is included if you want it.  The wheels are 15 inch where the stock were 14's.  Super nice driver at highway speeds or around town.  A couple of things it needs are the convertible top hydraulics either need new rams or the pump replaced. The rams are disconnected from the top so it could be lowered manually.  The shifter is the factory floor shift and because it was originally a two speed auto, you can not drop the trans to the low range. These are things I can fix for you if you wish without too much cost.  Overall a real tight daily driver that runs well, drives well and shows well.  If you need more photos or have any questions, please call Bruce weekdays at 916-652-6852 or use the "Ask the Seller a Question" feature in this ad.  To see and drive the car, I am about 15 miles east of Sacramento just off Highway 80 going towards Reno.  Thank you.

Buick teases the next-gen LaCrosse

Sat, Oct 31 2015

Buick continues to play coy about the next-generation LaCrosse, but the latest teaser hints at a swoopy profile for the upcoming sedan. While mostly just a silhouette, the teaser does provide a glimpse of the flowing roof and upward crease around the rear fenders – especially handsome touches. The rest of the LaCrosse remains a mystery. The only other part that we've seen is the Avenir-inspired grille, which features a more angular surround and chrome wings jutting from emblem in the center. Styling aside, the brand claims that the sedan is now more engaging behind the wheel thanks to a stronger, lighter chassis and five-link rear suspension. Powertrain rumors are rather vague but suggest the 3.6-liter V6 will be available when the model arrives at dealers in 2016. One thing we know for certain about the LaCrosse is that it debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That only leaves a few more weeks for Buick to keep this mystery going. Related Video:

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
