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. |

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
GM seeks to exempt Buick Envision from U.S. auto tariffs
Fri, Aug 3 2018General Motors is seeking an exemption to a 25 percent U.S. tariff on its Chinese-made Buick Envision sport utility, the automaker said on Thursday, in a move to prevent the key model in the brand's U.S. lineup from becoming a victim of the U.S.-China trade war. The midsize SUV, priced starting at about $35,000, has become a target for critics of Chinese-made goods, including leaders of the United Auto Workers union and members in key political swing states such as Michigan and Ohio. The Envision, assembled only in China, last year accounted for about 19 percent of Buick brand sales in the United States. GM said in a statement that it filed the request on July 30 with the U.S. Trade Representative. An official notice was posted on Thursday on the regulations.gov website, which is tracking requests for exclusions from the so-called Section 301 tariff on certain imported goods from China. GM, the largest U.S. automaker, argued in its request that Envision sales in China and the United States would generate funds "to invest in our U.S. manufacturing facilities and to develop the next generation of automotive technology in the United States." GM said the "vast majority" of Envisions, about 200,000 a year, are sold in China. About 41,000 were sold last year in the United States. Because of the lower U.S. sales volume, "assembly in our home market is not an option" for the Envision, which competes with such midsize crossover vehicles as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Cadillac XT5. GM has taken other steps to soften the blow of tariffs, which hit just as the automaker had lowered the price of the Envision to make it more competitive. Ahead of the July 6 start for higher import tariffs, GM shipped in a six-month supply of Envisions at the much lower 2.5 percent tariff rate. Envision sales from April through June plunged to just 7,000 vehicles, while inventories climbed to more than 13,000 vehicles at the end of June. At the current sales rate, the Envision supply should be enough to keep many dealers stocked through the end of the year. GM had lowered prices by as much as $2,500 on the 2019 models, which it started shipping in late April. That means Buick's 2,000 U.S. dealers should have lower-priced Envisions to sell well into the fall. "The previous price point was too high" on the 2018 Envision, said Casey Clark, sales manager at Serra Buick GMC Cadillac in Washington, Michigan, in an interview.
2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
