1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport . This car was restored in 1991 by a BCA ( Buick Club of America ) member in Wisconsin . At that time he rebuilt the engine and transmission , put patch panels in body , floor and trunk pans , replated the bumpers , replaced the interior with NOS parts and added the engine dress-up package . The car came from the factory with undercoating and after he added the patch panels he added the necessary undercoating to match . It was then painted it's original color Burgundy Mist Base Coat / Clear Coat . This work was done by a person that knew Buick's and his work is excellent . The car was then sold to another BCA member in Wisconsin who showed the car a few times and then stored the car in his barn for about 7 years due to other Buick projects . While in storage it was parked in a insulated , concrete floor barn and covered . Due to health problems he sold the car to the current owner in 2006 .
The current owner in 2006 replaced the entire brake system and booster , heater core , tires on 14" wheels , all belts and hoses , rebuilt the carburetor and distributor ( added Pertronix ) , new trunk and floor mats , added a rear sway bay , replaced the cracked steering wheel ( it seems all '65 Buicks had cracked steering wheels ) with a original type reproduction , and installed a Magnaflow exhaust system . The cars shows about 8565 miles which is then unknown mileage . We think when the car was restored the mileage was then set back .
The car was then buffed out to clean-up the storage dirt and now shows very well . The paint is not perfect and shows some signs of it being painted many years ago . It still shows well at local car shows and would be considerd a high 3 car but if your going to show it at Autorama or expect to get Barrett-Jackson dollars it would need to be painted .
This is a true 1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport that is all numbers matching with power steering , power brakes , Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission , tinted windows , back-up lights , tach in console , am radio , 3:08 open rear end with original NN Burgundy Mist paint and black bucket seat interior .
Built the 3rd. week of June in Flint , Michigan . As you might know there were only 7,670 Gran Sport Hardtops built with the automatic transmission of 15,780 total Gran Sports built in 1965 . This is a very well maintained car and at this price it's a true value .
The car is located in Prescott , Arizona and is available for inspection by appointment . Local pick-up only . Should shipping be required the cost and arrangements must be made by the buyer with proper notice to the seller . $500.00 non-refundable deposit required by PayPal within 24 hours of auction end .

Buick to add more GS models?
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void.
Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
Buick and Bar Refaeli teach in-car yoga
Mon, Jul 27 2015We're not sure which make or model you'd most readily associate with yoga. You'd probably see a fair few Mercedes convertibles, VW Beetles, and assorted minivans and crossovers outside your typical American yoga studio. But not to be left out of the contorting action, Buick is out to link itself to the age-old practice with these latest videos. They feature, as you can see, the ever lithe and supple Bar Rafaeli, clad in spandex, stretching and contorting herself inside and out of a Buick Verano. Which is really all you should need to know, but there's a little more to the clip above (and the behind-the-scenes video below) than eye candy. Choreographed by yoga guru Chad Dennis, the idea behind the video – cleverly entitled The Body Shop – is to show drivers, in as artful and visually pleasing a way as possible, how to limber up their body, mind, and soul in preparation for (or recovery from) a long drive. It also serves to promote the brand's new 24 Hours of Happiness test drive program that lets prospective buyers take a Buick home and try it out for a day before buying. And if nothing else, it aptly demonstrates that Buick has excellent taste – or at least as good as Sports Illustrated that gave the Israeli model her first big break, Leonardo DiCaprio whom she dates for several years, and the dozens of fashion labels, jewelry brands, and magazines for which she's posed in recent years.
2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
