1971 Buick Skylark GS clone
Been Garage kept and maintained for the 12 years I've owned it. 90% finished, needs new paint job, small minor body work, new registration and re-chroming on bumpers to bring the hi-performance muscle car to mint condition and value around 15K. Car is rust free with no corrosion
455 Motor is immaculate along the the TH-400 tranny set up with the reverse valve body Hurst quick shift set-up for fast shifting that will churp your tires between each gear. THIS CAR IS VERY FAST WITH LOTS OF TORQUE
Engine block has all after market springs, lifters, rockers, cam, pistons and manifolds and the transmission is set up with hi performance sprags to be sure the gears can handle the horse power without ripping them apart. Hooker headers, Flowmaster duel exhaust, Holley 4 barrel carb
Brand new, white vinyl top, black vinyl interior, black carpet and racing seats with racing harness seat belts. Racing Alloys with good tires can also include 20' chrome wires for additional 1K. Wood grain steering wheel
I just had the engine and transmission set up appraised by Gilbertson Automotive who build these cars and he felt very comfortable telling me 6K for both. I basically added 2K on top for the rest of the car because it does need minor work and paint. The custom "cranberry" paint was beautiful at one point if into keeping it the same color, changes from red to a crazy purple when its sunny then night time.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too
Mon, 21 Oct 2013Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
