1969 Buick Skylark from Fla.showing less than 12,000  miles. 

(last owner claimed correct mileage but being sold as un documented)


As you can see the average resale price for this car is over 14k as a   number # 3/ Average and with the GS cloned being over 17k. 

This car is in a solid # 3 condition and I can supply the insurance valuation and also the replacement value.


The drive-train appears to be totally original with a dual exhaust that was added to the 350 V8. It was originally 230 HP and now is closer to 250 HP.

It comes with the GS rims that are on it and the original Hubcaps and all the original glovebox documentation. You could take this to a GS 350 level with a hood and air cleaner. This year GS 350 had bench seat not buckets as the GS 400 had.


We really don’t know the history but we were told that this car came out of a collection outside of buffalo n.y. It has been stored in a heated garage for the last 16 years and started and run every month. 

I actually went thru the car and it has good wheel cylinders.brakes, tuneup, fan belts, battery, plug wire, tires, radio works so do all the lights and it is clean! Drives good and it doesn't shake rattle and roll.


Exterior 

The car is finished in what is proposed to be its original color on the exterior (12 years ago) and looks good with the coat of wax on it. It does have the usual nicks and a couple of bubbles at the drivers door. On pass rear quarter there are some outward pin dents from jack i think(see pictures)I haven’t really looked this over as well as I usually do because I didn’t pick this car out. The paint took wax good and will be sufficient, till you decide to paint it again.  The Buick appears to have new or re- chromed bumpers and trim. It is not a perfect car but it is a good driver quality. There are 3 bumps on the pass quarter that look to be caused by the jack in the trunk ( please look at pictures)


Interior

It does have a PPG replacement seat covers and door panels but the rear seat armrest are still original and need to be replaced or stained. They are in good shape but are not the bright white the rest of the interior is(see pictures). All the gauges work except the lighter and it needs to be replaced. The radio dials are missing and I am looking for them.The radio works fine.

The Buick has seatbelts and carpet and they are in good shape. 

The top is electric and works well, It needs a little help when it is being raised from the down position and has the cover.


Trunk / Engine

Trunk has been sprayed with splatter paint and has Jack and spare in place.

Engine has a tuneup, oil change and the following new parts as told by the previous owner.

New aluminum radiator

New water-pump

New power top (Original color and design) that works great

Newer radial tires

Newer brakes


This 69 Buick Skylark Convertible Is in average condition but is solid enough to take to the next level. It has decent bones and you will have fun driving it. 

Again we are selling at # 3 driver condition.

 So bid to own.

Buick rolls out more potent Encore Sport Touring

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Buick has announced a new Sport Touring version of the Encore. And more than a trim level or special edition, we're glad to report that the new model packs a more potent engine. Instead of the 1.4-liter turbo four that produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque in the standard Encore, the new Sport Touring model features a newer, more powerful engine that GM says shares little with the existing unit aside from its displacement. The new 1.4-liter turbocharged, direct-injection engine produces a more commanding 153 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, which is up a good 11 percent and 20 percent, respectively, over the existing engine. It's still mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and features a stop/start system to optimize fuel efficiency. Buick wasn't willing to estimate where the mile-per-gallon numbers might land, though that information will be available closer to sale. Along with the upgraded engine, Buick is also throwing in 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and the features from the Convenience package as well. The new Encore model follows just a couple of months after we first caught wind of a trademark filed for the Sport Touring name. At the time, it looked like it was set to be applied to the Regal and LaCrosse sedan, which could still follow as well.

It is distinguished by unique exterior cues and driven by an exclusive, all-new 1.4L turbocharged engine featuring direct injection and stop/start technology. The exterior features include a winged rear spoiler, 18-inch aluminum premium-finish wheels and body-color door handles, while the technologically advanced 1.4L turbo is part of a new, global family of small, power-dense engines developed to balance performance and efficiency with exceptional refinement. Direct injection helps it generate an estimated 153 hp (112 kW) and 177 lb-ft of torque (240 Nm), for about 11 percent more horsepower and nearly 20 percent more torque than the Encore's standard engine – and a greater feeling of power on demand, particularly at low- and mid-range engine speeds. It's matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stop/start technology contributes to reduced fuel consumption in stop-and-go driving.

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.

Buick Velite Plug-In Hybrid Concept debuts to little fanfare

Sat, Nov 19 2016

Buick pulled the covers off its latest Velite Concept at the Auto Guangzhou 2016 show in China. We say latest because this is actually the second time Buick has used the Velite name for a concept, the previous having been shown at the 2004 New York Auto Show. The first Velite concept was a two-door convertible; the second Velite is a four-door crossover. Enough about the name, what about the concept? Well, it's very highly stylized, and we don't really mean that in a good way. There's nothing about the Velite that screams Buick, except for its badges, of course. At the front is a compressed version of Buick's traditional waterfall-like fascia. It's flanked by slit-like LED lighting elements. The rest of the face looks to our eyes like it draws inspiration from the latest Toyota Prius. There isn't a single flat element to the Velite Concept's bodysides, in a way that resembles recent concepts from Infiniti. The last bit of styling flourish are deep recesses just ahead of the rear wheels, a look that is reminiscent of BMW's i-series of vehicles. There aren't any images showing the Velite's hind quarters, but from what we can see, that also has a QX-ish look about it. There are no shots yet of the Velite's interior, but Buick says it's "elegant" and "includes recycled materials." We wish we could see what it looks like, because the automaker says it "[points] to design trends for upcoming new energy vehicles." So, the Buick Velite Concept is a nondescript mashup of design elements that we've already seen. Under the skin, however, things are more interesting. It's a plug-in hybrid with a modular lithium ion battery. That doesn't tell us much – it could be a variant of the Chevy Volt, or it could be a different system altogether. We look forward to finding out. In the meantime, have a look at the high-res image gallery up above. Oh, and if you're wondering, the word velite traces its roots back to a lightly armored military division in ancient Rome. Related Video:
