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...

Buick confirms US-market Envision CUV to be built in China

Fri, Dec 4 2015

As expected, the Buick Envision will come to the US market in 2016, and as rumored, it'll be GM's first product imported from the People's Republic. Buick confirmed the news today, while also releasing a number of technical details on the mid-size CUV, which has sold nearly 130,000 units in the Chinese domestic market in the first 11 months of 2015. When it arrives in US dealers next summer, the Envision will feature a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder EcoTec four-cylinder. Good for an estimated 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the four-pot turbo is paired to a well-received six-speed Hydra-Matic 6T70 transmission. That's the same automatic gearbox that's offered in the turbocharged Regal and Regal GS and the current six-cylinder LaCrosse. The entire affair is underpinned by torque-steer-fighting HiPer strut front suspension, a crossover first for Buick, with a four-link setup in back. According to Buick, the Envision will also get the same Active Twin Clutch all-wheel-drive system being offered on the Cadillac XT5 and the new LaCrosse. Like the Chinese-market Envision, Buick is offering the USDM model with active grille shutters, LED running lights, LED taillights, heated front/rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 19-inch wheels, and a Bose stereo as standard. Buick also lists highlights like Active Noise Cancellation and an eight-inch IntelliLink infotainment system, although it's not clear whether these are standard features. There's no word on which auto show the Envision will debut at. Considering the timing, next month's Detroit Auto Show is a strong contender, although if Buick wanted to really drum up headlines ahead of its on-sale date next summer, it'd formally introduce its newest CUV in April, at the New York Auto Show. Either way, expect to see more of this handsome, Chinese-built CUV soon.

It was awarded Motor Trend SUV of the Year in China and has 127,085 sales so far this year. When it goes on sale in 2016, it will play an important role in a crossover lineup that currently represents 60 percent of Buick sales in North America. It targets customers shopping between the Encore, the best-selling Buick in eight years, and the Enclave, which has continued to grow its customer base since its 2007 introduction.

Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?

Tue, 07 Aug 2012

We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
