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...

Question of the Day: Best recipient for supercharged GM V6?

Wed, Apr 20 2016

The good old Buick V6 engine was built from 1961 through 2008 (including a decade of production by Kaiser-Jeep) and went into way too many General Motors vehicles to list here. In 1991, the supercharged version of the 3800 was introduced, with a Roots-style Eaton blower on top, and now you can find these engines in just about every junkyard in North America. The 3800 shares a bellhousing pattern with the also-made-by-the-zillions GM 60° V6 engine, which means that it will install (with varying levels of sledgehammer clearancing and/or axle mix-and-matching) into plenty of GM vehicles that never received the 3800 from the factory. That means one thing: engine swaps! An excellent example of this is the 1992 Chevrolet Lumina APV "Dustbuster" minivan, which is a fully caged high-performance road-racing machine that features a supercharged 3800 and 5-speed manual transmission under its long, vacuum-cleaner-snout-like hood. The RaceVan, in Springfield Monorail livery, will compete this weekend at the Michigan 24 Hours of LeMons race with Autobloggers Mike Austin, David Gluckman, and Alex Kierstein at the wheel. My personal choice for supercharged 3800 power, though, has to be the Cadillac Cimarron, preferably the not-so-sought-after Cimarron d'Oro Edition. Some bashing and welding and cutting and pasting and this lightweight Cavalier sibling could have well over double its original horsepower. So, what's your blown 3800 engine-swap choice?

Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

GM announces $7 billion Michigan factory investment, most going to EVs

Tue, Jan 25 2022

GM announced a $7 billion investment in Michigan manufacturing, much of which is earmarked for EV production. Four sites are included, but the key elements are a new battery cell plant in Lansing and the conversion of GM's existing Orion Township facility to expand production of the forthcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV and its GMC Sierra sibling.  GM says it is the largest investment announcement in company history and that it will create 4,000 new jobs. It also says 1,000 jobs will be retained. "We are building on the positive consumer response and reservations for our recent EV launches and debuts, including the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Equinox EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV," said GM CEO Mary Barra.  GM says the Orion expansion and new battery plant will support an increase in full-size electric truck production capacity to 600,000 units. This is in addition to the Factory ZERO facility in Detroit that will also be constructing the electric Silverado and Sierra.  The Orion Township factory current builds the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV, and will continue to do so during the plant's conversion. GM did not indicate what will happen with the Bolts once that conversion is complete or whether all will continue to be built at Orion. They do not use the Ultium vehicle architecture. GM will build other EV models at three other factories that are under construction or being converted. They are located in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Ingersoll, Ontario, and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. GM says that it will have the ability to produce 1 million electric vehicles by 2025. The Ultium Cells Lansing facility is a $2.6 billion joint investment by GM and LG Energy Solution. GM says it alone will create 1,700 jobs once fully operational by late 2024. It will join two other GM Ultium Cells battery factories currently under construction in the United States, one in Ohio and the other in Tennessee.  Not all of the $7 billion investment will be for EVs. It also announced $510 million of the total will go toward upgrading the Lansing Delta Township Assembly to produce the next-generation Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Money will also go to upgrading Lansing Grand River Assembly.
