I have decided to sell my BEAUTIFUL 1972 Buick Skylark Convertible. I have owned this car for about a year and have had my fun so it's time for something else. The previous owner had the car for over 10 years. I am in my 50's and the previous owner was in his 40's. The car has not been beaten up.

This car is in VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION !!!

The odometer reads 75,990 miles. The car came from the factory without air conditioning.

The Skylark is blue with a black top and white interior (black carpet). The original color was orange. The body is very solid with only a few minor rust bubbles in the paint. The body is very, very solid for a classic in this area. Bring a magnet and you won't be disappointed. The paint looks reasonably good. There are a few chips in the paint and a light scratch on the trunk lid. The driver's door has a fairly large chip under the handle. The chrome should probably be redone as it doesn't shine like it should. Tail lenses could be replaced as well. The trunk is extremely solid. Unfortunately the previous owner removed the weather stripping between the windows and couldn't find it. So, it will need that. Some trim pieces are worn.

The white interior is in good shape. There are some tears at the bottom of the interior doors. The carpet, dash and glass look good.

The top is in very good shape also. There is only one small tear on the drivers side behind the back window --smaller than a dime. The convertible top goes up and down like it should. I did have to add a small amount of fluid this spring, There is a slight leak so it will have to be topped off from time to time. There is a white parade boot, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just drive without it.

Mechanically, I would trust this car to DRIVE ANYWHERE!! The engine is a 350 and I believe it to be the ORIGINAL ENGINE. I checked the numbers and they are correct. It always starts and sounds very mean. The transmission is automatic. There are full headers --no exhaust leaks-- to enhance your muscle car experience. The headers exit through flowmaster mufflers and a 2 1/2" exhaust. It drives nice and straight, and the brakes work fine. Wipers, heater, lights all work. The only thing I have noticed is that the left turn signal light sometimes stays on inside of the car --minor annoyance... Occasionally there is a small--very small leak on the garage floor --not much and not very often.

I have tried to explain everything about this classic honestly. Is it a show car? No. Is it a head-turning, fun to drive, reliable cruiser? Absolutely!! I honestly don't think you will find a Skylark, Cutlass, Chevelle, GTO, or LeMans Convertible in these years that is in anything close to this condition for this price. If you do, you should buy it. A little work could easily make her into a show car.

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO. I have tried to show everything. See for yourself:

My reserve is VERY LOW on this car  . As always...cash talks...but this is a GREAT CAR AT THIS PRICE!!!   Again, look at what these are selling for and compare the condition.

If you are interested in this car, I strongly suggest the Buy-It-Now option so you do not miss out on it.   You will not be disappointed!!!

It will sell.

 IF YOU SEE AND DRIVE THIS CAR, YOU WILL BUY IT !!!

CASH ONLY !!! NO CHECKS WHATSOEVER !!! CASH ONLY !!!

I might consider an INTERESTING trade. I would ask that if you want to trade something, please email me a picture and info first. I would rather not have 150 calls about trades I am not interested in.

Feel free to email or call me at:

630-556-3955

or

630-709-3955 (cell)

Again there is a VIDEO of this car which shows EVERYTHING !!! Click this link:

 I have a clean and clear IL title in hand for this car.  Yes, it is in my name --perfectly legal in all ways.  And, yes, I am a private seller.

I do require a $200 deposit upon auction's end.  Full payment is required within 7 days of auction's end or the car will be re-listed.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I allow the car to leave my property until full payment is received and cleared.  If you want to arrange shipping, you must do so yourself and do not expect the car to leave my house until Full Payment has Completely Cleared.

 

PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH FULL CONFIDENCE !!!   100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK !!!

 





 I am located 35 miles west of Chicago, 5 minutes off of I-88, 2 miles from the Aurora Airport -- Very easy to get to...

Is that a Cascada on Buick's Detroit show stand?

Sat, Jan 10 2015

The above image is a close-up of one particular car spotted in a rendering that Buick provided of its stand at next week's Detroit Auto Show. Two doors, four seats, no top, deep and arcing shoulder line - any idea what that might be? We're going to guess it's the coming Buick Cascada, only we're stretching the definition of the word "guess" since the car is a dead ringer for the Americanized Opel droptop, which we drove more than a year ago. Looks like it's finally going to get the 'Official' treatment as a 2016 model, after it was shown to dealers last August. There have also been rumors that the car will be called Velite, but newer rumblings out of the Renaissance Center suggest that such gossip is a dead-end. The Cascada will enter a segment with no real competitors, since the Chrysler 200 ragtop is gone and a Buick convertible vs. Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro convertibles isn't really a thing, and we think will make a nice expansion of the brand's model-range footprint. The big bit of news we're waiting for is what's going to power it, a Euro-sourced four-cylinder with 168 or 197 horsepower? We don't have long to wait to find out.

2019 Volvo V60 vs. wagon competitors: How they compare on paper

Thu, Feb 22 2018

The next-gen Volvo V60 was finally revealed this week. The outgoing model has been on sale since 2011, getting a few minor updates along the way. The new model is based off Volvo's Scalable Platform Architecture that underpins other models like the XC90 and XC60 crossovers and V90 wagon. The V60 will launch with two engines, with a powerful hybrid coming sometime down the line. Since the last V60 hit the market, Audi, Buick and BMW have all released their own flavor of wagon. Like Volvo, BMW sells a traditional sedan-based model. Audi and Buick's wagons are both high-riding models with some very slight off-road pretense, much like Volvo's Cross Country models. We don't have details on the upcoming V60 Cross Country, but, even when accounting for ground clearance, the V60, BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon, A4 Allroad and Buick Regal TourX have a lot of overlap. Check out the specs breakdown below. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines, transmissions and drivetrains Out of the four wagons, the new V60 is the only one that offers two-wheel drive and a hybrid variant. The base V60 T5 uses a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four and sends power to the front wheels. Stepping up to the V60 T6 nets buyers an additional 66 horsepower thanks to a twincharged — supercharged and turbocharged — 2.0-liter and all-wheel drive. A T8 model that uses a 390-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain will be available soon. All V60s use an eight-speed automatic. The Audi, BMW and Buick are all powered by 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-fours. Additionally, the 3 Series has a 2.0-liter turbo diesel. All three wagons have standard all-wheel drive. The BMW and Buick use an eight-speed automatic, while the Audi sends power through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. As base engines go, there's a four-horsepower difference between the most and least powerful models, though the Buick wins out on torque. The V60 T6 matches the Regal TourX's torque figure and trounces every competitor's horsepower rating. The V60 T8 packs more power and torque than any of the competition. Cargo and interior space The outgoing V60 was on the small side for a wagon. This new model rectifies that a bit, though its 48.2 cubic-feet of cargo space with the second-row folded is still substantially smaller than the competition.

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.
