This is a 1971 Buick Skylark that came from Washington state about 6 years ago. It was originally a medium blue car with a with a white interior. I had it repainted yellow and black to look like a GSX. I fixed it up about four years ago, put in new front seats, carpet, radio and speakers, door panels, armrests, floor shifter, tach, steering wheel, stall converter, windshield, dual flow master exhaust and turn downs, crager rims etc! This car has a non matching number Buick 455 and automatic transmission. I installed a B&M ratchet shifter to control the transmission. This car has a four barrel carb and runs and drives well.

The fairly large dent in the drivers side rear quarter panel was from getting backed into from another car. The damage in the right front wheel well was the result from the wheel bearing going out that loosened the lug nuts and dropped the wheel. I professional body man fixed the rust spot in the bottom of the right front fender by welding in an aftermarket patch panel. The trunk floor pan was also starting to rust a little so it was also replaced.

This car has a classic looking aftermarket digital radio with an optional cd auxiliary hook up. I installed four new 100 watt speakers - two in the rear shelf and two in the front kick panels. The front bench seat was replaced with two black leather American racing bucket seats. The windshield wiper switch is stuck in the on position. The wipers work but put need to be plugged in or unplugged as needed. The heater switch does not work but a toggle switch was installed under dash to make the heater blower run.

This car is not perfect but is a good fixer upper and a lot of fun to drive. This car also comes with a 1968 Buick 455 that could be rebuilt into an higher performance motor. I will be adding more information soon. Thanks a lot, Jason - phone 406-899-0768 in Montana evenings or leave a message.

Ford GT, Buick Avenir and Audi Q7 take 2015 EyesOn Design awards

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The 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 claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
