Description summary: ONE OWNER!!! 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible with original rebuilt 350 engine/ transmission runs and drives.  Please see full description below.

Read a full description of the vehicle below

   

 

Engine and Transmission:

The engine is a 350 which was rebuilt not too long ago by the original owner along with the transmission. The engine runs strong no smoking or knocking and no oil leaks. Engine bay looks good as well as underneath vehicle. The alternator bracket is missing. 

 

Body and Paint:

As you can see from the pics the car is a project car. Even though it runs and drives it does need some body work and paint. Front right fender and hood were replaced due to rust. Will need some adjustment to get the gaps just right. The doors close like refrigerators, excellent fit. The convertible top is in pretty good shape except for a few minor tears here and there as can be seen in the pics. There is some rust bubbles on trunk and some on quarter panels as can be seen in pics. The floors and trunk floor is solid no rust there or under the doors. The body was removed from the frame during the engine rebuild and all new rubber bushings, suspension bushings were replaced. The frame was also painted with antirust paint. Frame is solid. The rear bumper, front grill, left headlights, are missing. The center cap for the steering wheel is also missing but this does not affect the functionality of the steering wheel. The rest can be seen in the pics. Again it is a running and driving project but will need some body work and elbow grease but has a very good foundation.

 

Electrical:

All of the electrical works as it should.

 

Brakes and suspension:

Brakes good, steering wheel has very little play.All tires will need to be replaced. Very dry. They do hold air however.

 

Frame and under carriage:

All of the bolts, bushings, connections and ties were replaced during rebuild when frame was removed. The exhaust sounds good  with the dual exhaust.

 

Glass:

All of the glass is present.  The rubber seals are in very good shape. All windows go up and down as they should. The windshield is cracked.

 

Interior:

The interior is in very good shape. All of the knobs, handles, seatbelts, plastics are all present all of the seats are in great shape except for a small amount of stitching that come off from one of the threads in the rear seat, but beyond that it looks great. Carper is in good shape. The dashboard is excellent no cracks. 

 

Driving and Handling:

The car runs and drives but does need some tlc to be road worthy.

GM mulling Chevy Cruze hatchback for US, Buick 'Panamera' among other new models

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We've spoken at length previously about the fallacy of poor hatchback sales in the US, and with the runaway success of its Chevrolet Cruze sedan, it's somewhat unsurprising to hear that General Motors is rethinking its decision not to sell an overseas five-door variant in North America as it looks to plug a number of holes in its lineup. GM North American President Mark Reuss admitted during a media luncheon this week that not offering the model "... was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake," says Forbes. With the next-generation model already well-along in development, it's likely that the current Cruze hatch (shown above) won't see US dealers.
Reuss admits not offering the model "was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake"
In what must have been a far-reaching conversation, Reuss hinted at a number of new products for many GM brands, including "a much more beautiful Panamera" range-topper for Buick (which sounds a bit like the line of reasoning the TriShield brand has been pursuing with its Riviera concepts) and a "Ford Transit Connect-fighter" to supplant the recently announced badge-engineered Chevy City Express from Nissan.

March Madness upsets good for auto advertisers

Mon, Mar 23 2015

There are no Cinderella teams left in the NCAA men's basketball tournament - the fairytales ended with Georgia State's loss to Xavier over the weekend. And even though the Sweet 16 is composed of elite teams - at the time of writing the lowest-ranked squad is 11th-seeded UCLA, which has most championships of any school in the country - there are still underdogs and surprises, and they are good for NCAA business and advertisers. Last year the March Madness Live app, which allows users to watch games on the go, was downloaded 4.5 million times, a jump of more than 40 percent over 2013. Buick sponsors the iOS version of the app, but more than a million of those downloads were for the Android version, sponsored by Infiniti since 2011. Part of Buick's engagement is a "Boss Button" on the livestream sites that can quickly mask the page with something your boss won't question you over. It also sponsors a trick-shot competition for fans, has a display in Bracket Town during the Final Four, and its cars lead the team buses through the city. Infiniti said last year's tourney increased online searches for the brand by 25 percent in March, and things are going even better this year: it's round-by-round bracket game drew 477,859 total entries in 2014, this year's game has signed up 534,350 already and the tournament has another two weeks to go. The luxury brand is all over the event, promoting the QX60 through to the Final Four, then moving its efforts to the Q50. It sponsors the Coaches vs. Cancer charity and will have an Infiniti Lounge near the Final Four venue in downtown Indianapolis. So for the two automakers keeping their own scores... come on, Wichita State! Six brackets, six chances to win a trip to #FinalFour 2016.

Buick working on Encore refresh

Tue, Jun 9 2015

It's been three years now since the model we know as the Buick Encore (sold overseas as the Vauxhall/Opel Mokka) first hit the scene. That makes it about due for a bit of a facelift, and judging from these latest spy shots, that's precisely what General Motors seems to be up to. The nose of this prototype (intriguingly wearing Buick badges but German plates) is all covered up, so it's hard to tell what Buick and its European counterparts have in store for the front-end restyling, but the fact that they've covered it so extensively tells us that somethings afoot. The tail should also get new lights and bumper as well. You can fully expect GM to take the opportunity to refresh the cabin while it's at it with tweaked ergonomics and new equipment. Meanwhile our sources tell us the 1.0-liter inline-three from the new Corsa could find its way under the Opel/Vauxhall's hood to join the current lineup of four-pots, but it's too early to say whether that engine might find its way across the pond to the Buick version as well.
