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 .  Balance of payment must be made by wire bank transfer or verified cashiers check prior to pick-up .  Should you have any questions please call 847-757-6749 and keep in mind Arizona time zone .

Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
