1967 Buick Skylark Convertible 455 V8 P/b P/s 400 Turbo Trans Gs Tribute on 2040-cars
Redding, California, United States

I am selling my friends 1967 Buick Skylark convertible. This is a regular convertible that has been given a GS treatment in the late 90's early 2000's.
Here is what my friend says about the car; 1967 Buick Skylark Convertible Pros: 455 (it’s fast) New Edelbrock carburetor Front disc brakes Front & rear sway bars New high efficiency radiator New fuel pump New starter motor Premium dual exhaust Bucket seats Floor shift Runs well Clean DMV Cons: straight body with relativly small paint damage convertible does not work (motors missing)…tear in the top near rear window (outside tear only) exhaust manifold gaskets leaking maybe needs new master cylinder…(brakes take a few mins to respond well after car warms up, but after that, just fine) gas gauge does not work window cranks and door handles are temperamental Now my take on the car; I have been a passenger in the car many times and have driven it a few times. It seems to have all the GO you would need. The car runs well and gets looks where ever you take it. No shortage of people that want to go for a ride in it. My take on the fit and finish of the car. It was painted and refreshed in the late 90's early 2000's and turned into it's current form. It was given a rebuilt 455, paint and interior. The bucket seats were sourced from a GS and all were recovered. The car was only driven for about 8 months then put into a garage for the winter and was not brought out the next year. I went and helped my friend pick up the car from his dad's house in 2012. We put a battery and some fresh fuel in it and it fired up and I drove it onto my trailer. Since then it has had the new parts replaced you see above. The paint is about a 7. It is presentable, but there are flaws. Probably the biggest is on the hood where there was a carburetor fire at one time(that is why there is a new carb! and fuel lines), but 95% of people that look at the car would not notice it. The body is solid and rust free. There are small dents and dings, but again, a very presentable 10 footer. The car spent about a week at an auto electric shop getting the wiring sorted out, but somehow the fuel gauge still does not work. I do know that the sending unit was replaced as well. Still no bueno on the fuel gauge. The interior could use a good cleaning. The white seats easily show dirt and they need to be vigorously cleaned. The chrome on the car is fair. Both the front and rear bumpers have pitting in spots and will need to be re-plated at some point in the future. The stainless trim is in excellent condition. The tires have like new tread on them. They are older, but the car has always been in a garage so there is no cracking on the sidewalls. The convertible top is also white and in need of a good cleaning. There is one small tear/rip that I don't think will be much of a problem in inclement weather as it is only the outer layer and is not very big. Most of the time you will have the top down anyway! There is also a top boot cover that is white. Again, this will need to be cleaned as it is not as white as it could be. I am not an expert on these cars, but I think that they did what was needed to make this a nice 455 GS tribute. If you have any questions please email me through eBay. Delivery to the Bay Area and Southern California shippers is available. Also, you will be paying the owner directly. I am just listing this for him. The good faith deposit will be returned when payment for the car is made. On Feb-16-14 at 19:33:40 PST, seller added the following information: I was looking up the production/vin number/codes for this car; 4 = Buick 44= Skylark V-8 67=2 door convertible coupe 7=1967 H= Flint Michigan 127532 =production number 100001 first of the model year I will get a picture of the body plate and post/decode that as well. On Feb-18-14 at 08:44:12 PST, seller added the following information:The body tag has the following; GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION / 10A / ST 67-44467FL1 39253 BODY / TR 185-A K-2 PAINT / W 2X / 4FC 5KY (COULD BE SKY) / BODY BY FISHER From what I found; ST Style is 2 door convertible Body was built in Flint MI. TR Trim is Black either Vinyl or Cloth Paint K is Aquamarine So it is a color change, but you would never know it. Any more questions let me know. This would not let me ad this like it appears in rows from top to bottom on the plate. Where ever this is a / that indicates all that is on that line of the data plate. |

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards
Thu, Jan 15 2015The annual EyesOn Design Awards at the Detroit Auto Show allows some of the greatest designers in the world to weigh in on the best production and concept debuts at the big event each year. For 2015, the large panel of judges included luminaries like Frank Stephenson of McLaren, Ralph Gilles from FCA and Moray Callum of Ford. Apparently the editors at Autoblog had a good eye because the winner of 2015's Best Designed Production Vehicle award went to the Ford GT, which was also our favorite debut from the show. The new supercar beat the Acura NSX and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe for the honor. The judges described the Blue Oval's shape as "capturing the original GT40 in a modern interpretation," according to EyesOn Design. The Buick Avenir was also a big winner in the awards this year and received the nods for both Best Designed Concept Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials. In the concept category, it beat out the Chevrolet Bolt and Mercedes-Benz F 015, and in the latter group, the sedan triumphed over Audi Q7, Mercedes F 015 and Volkswagen Cross Coupe GTE. The Q7 received its own accolade for Best Designed Interior, and it beat the Avenir and Infiniti Q60 for the honor. This year's Lifetime Design Achievement Award went to former Renault designer Patrick le Quement, and Bob Lutz received the EyesOn Design Catalyst Award for the second time. The honor is for an executive "who has empowered great design," according to the organization, which describes Lutz perfectly. Scroll down to read the announcement with more comments about the winners.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
