I am selling my 1971 skylark custom GSX clone. Originally a skylark custom that I bought from a well known Buick collector.. I bought it with a  rebuilt engine (350 4bbl) and I have put about 3,000 miles on it since. The car had/has no rust on it at all with all original body panels. The interior other than the carpet appears original in awesome shape. Carpet is brand new. I did the GSX cloning last fall. It has a re-chromed N25 bumper with stainless tips and an NOS GS front grill. I got the rear spoiler at a swap meet a very long time ago before I owned the car (that’s why I did the GSX thing!). I don’t know if it is a used original or NOS as it was a gray color.

The body and paint are excellent and the paint is less than 1.5 yrs year old. The painter did a 1970 GSX that won gold at the 2012 GS nationals, concourse class. The tires are new and the alignment that goes with them was done in the fall too. The options include

·        AC- blows cold out of bottom vent

·        Tinted glass

·        Gauges

·        Stainless wheel well and rocker trim

·        Body molding

·        Clock

·        Cruise control

·        Tilt

·        Map light

·        Power windows

·        Am/fm

·        8 track works

·        Rear fader and speaker

·        Split bench seat

·        Remote sport mirrors

·        Modern disc brakes

·        Power top

·        Console     

Everything works as it should. The car drives perfectly straight. No weird sounds, tires don’t rub it is a pleasure. It runs cool and doesn’t steam and leak anti freeze when you stop. I would drive this car cross country with total confidence. Many convertibles can be sloppy this is tight.

The rubber body seals are all original and some are cracked and hard. The front bumper and all of the stainless are original and so is the underside (no rust or dents just dirty). The glass looks great and is all original. There are no tears in the interior and it looks really good and clean. The top has two tiny tears see pictures. Exhaust has about 3,000 miles and is in perfect shape.

It is an awesome car to see and drive. I would classify this car as a beautiful driver not a competitive show car...The only things I would change would be the rubber moldings for the doors and top..This car has the original interior, and so on..Super solid car, with a ton of options..Drives 100% perfect and everything works...The clock works but the big hand falls once in a while while driven, needs to be tightened up..Eye catching vehicle...Front bumper is original, rear bumper is new and cost alot $$$....I have a small payoff through my credit union...This can be handled easily, check my feedback..Never no issues...

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says

Wed, Apr 15 2015

You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.

2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
