This is for a 49,000 original miles unmolested classic car. I got the car from California and am the third titled owner. The car was originally Poly Green with a metallic green interior. It has an older White color change (the only change from being stock). Split bench front seat. 350-4 engine and automatic on the column. Many options, Options included dash clock, speed alarm, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, tilt column, lighted rear view mirror.

This car is a true survivor and has not been modified other than dual exhaust and color change. It's as original as you can find.

Body:
All floor boards and trunk are supper solid with no rust holes or weak spots. Body is very solid with some spots of rust just starting. The paint looks good but is showing some wear. There are some pitting and small holes at bottom corners of rear glass, some left rear quarter panel and driver side rear tire housing bubbles (nothing serious and not rotted out). Nicks and scratches. Looks great for a driver and gets looks everywhere but not showroom condition. All glass is good.

Exterior:
Tires are good. Ralley rims in good condition but could use cleaning and possible freshen up the black paint. All stock (not cheap after market) center caps included. Great front chrome fender, rear chrome fender is straight but has a rust spots and could use rechroming. Rear wheel well trim and rear quarter panel chrome trim is missing.

Interior:
Great dash, headliner and seats. Carpet is torn by passenger foot area, rear package tray is weathered from the dry dessert. Door panels are good but arm rests could look better if replaced. Rear side panels show aging. Two dome lights in the rear, one is missing. Radio is 100% original but not working. I have an untested spare I bought. Clock is not working, front power seat motor is not working. a/c need charge has slow leak somewhere. I have not looked into the clock and front seat to see if its a simple fix or what.

Mechanical:
Everything has been inspected by two different shops. Anything needing repair was replaced. Many new gaskets installed. Starts, stops and shift like it suppose to. Here is a list of new or newer parts and service: Battery; rear coils; shocks; brake lines; suspension parts; brakes; fuel pump; tune up serviceable parts; new dual exhaust off stock manifolds with performance mufflers and many other parts. I have at least 5 years of all maintenance records and receipts. Does have one lifter that ticks that was checked out. They said it was a little worn due to type of oil used but not serious enough to fix.

This is a very nice smooth running car. No trailer needed. I would not hesitate to drive this cross country! You can save on shipping with this one!

Will entertain trades of equal or better value. I'm selling it because I have two 69 skylarks. I've disclosed everthing I can think about. Please ask questions. This said, this car is 45 years old and is being sold as-is. Please text questions to Jim 815-482-0732

Buick shows US dealers 2016 Cascada convertible

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The affordable four-seat convertible has become a largely forgotten genre in the States, especially with the death of the Chrysler 200 Convertible. Of course, there are still premium options from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not to mention more overtly performance-oriented droptop pony cars from Chevrolet and Ford - but if you want an affordable cruiser, you're kind of out of luck. That may be about to change, however, with renewed rumors of the Opel Cascada (pictured above) making it across the Atlantic wearing a Buick badge.
According to GM Inside News, Buick showed off the Cascada to US dealers last week, with renewed word that the company plans to bring it over from Europe for the 2016 model year. The US version will reportedly be practically identical to its German cousin in terms of styling, but the powertrain underneath is less certain. According to GMI, it may use the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is available in Europe with either 168 horsepower or 197 hp.
The Cascada rides on GM's Delta II platform, which also underpins the Verano, and the latest rumor certainly provides even more evidence that the convertible is probably on the way. Speculation about the droptop started when GM CEO Dan Akerson said last year that the car was on his wish list to bring over. Then, the US trademark on the name was reserved earlier this year, and the release was speculated for sometime in early 2016.

Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates

Mon, 26 Nov 2012

Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for the New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 25 2016

Buick is dressing up the 2017 Encore for spring – specifically the New York Auto Show Â– where the compact crossover is expected to strut its stuff. The freshening follows the playbook of the Chevy Trax, which was also updated with a light hand. Though it keeps its familiar shape, sort of like an oversized Pontiac Vibe, the Encore gets Buick's new grille. It's a simple look with the wings bisecting the brand's tri-shield, and it calls to mind Buick's iconic front ends from yesteryear. You might remember it from the Avenir and Avista concepts. There are also new headlights. They look stolen from Audi, and it's an attention-getting gaze for the new face of the Encore. There will likely be new wheel packages, too. We can't see inside the Encore. Spy photographers couldn't get close enough to this Buick shoot in Southern California. But, we expect the interior to also mirror the Trax enhancements, which included a new instrument panel, gauges, materials, and infotainment. The Encore shares underpinnings with the Trax and Opel Mokka. We expect the Encore to arrive in late summer.
