NO RESERVE!!!!!


1972 Buick Skylark Custom convertible.  Winning bidder will receive car as shown with 455 engine, also the original 350 4-bbl engine, original steel wheels and hubcaps.  

Enjoy a GM A-Body CONVERTIBLE with big block engine at a fraction of the cost of a Chevelle, SS 454, SS 396, GTO, GS, or 442.  

I purchased this car from the original owner 3 years ago.  I drove the car in its original condition for about a month and then sourced and built a Buick 455 engine.  I had a Maaco paint job done and then installed the 455.  It's been my daily driver ever since.  In that time I have done some performance enhancements including installing a posi, shift kit, shift point kit, Edelbrock AVS 800 carb, wheels/tires, Pertronix electronic ignition, etc.  I also replaced the convertible top last summer.  This car has power windows, tilt wheel, working A/C, power top (works perfectly, no leaks), power steering, power front-disk brakes, map light, auto-trans, posi rear end, working windshield washers, 2 1/2" dual exhaust.  I've replaced the brake booster, front brakes, radiator, voltage regulator (external).  

This is a nice driving car.  Very smooth, very powerful, and really enjoyable with the top down.  I've owned a 396 Chevelle before but I'd take this Buick in a second.  Not only does it have more power than the Chevelle did but it's just more enjoyable due to the features.  Steering wheel turns with one finger, very good brakes, huge low-end torque, working A/C, power windows.  It's really the best of both worlds of having a classic car but with modern conveniences.  The wheels are really nice looking "American Racing" wheels with Radial T/A tires in good shape.  I also have a tach and some gauges installed.  It has an electric choke and Pertronix electronic ignition.  

The engine is from a 73 Buick Electra.  I had the machine shop bore it .030, and it has a multi-angle valve job with Comp Cams springs.  Engine includes Sealed Power hypereutectic 9.5 pistons, Comp Cams 268 cam (I have the spec sheet), Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock AVS 800 carb with electic choke, high flow mechanical fuel pump.  I have pictures documenting the entire build.  

This car is not perfect by any means so let me lay out the problems.  The car frame is perfect (fully boxed due to convertible) and the body is decent.  However, there is some rust in the usual locations for this type car.  I've done my best to show them in my pictures.  I just didn't have the money to afford a really good paint job at the time and the job Maaco did was pretty typical.  Not awful but not perfect.  The upolstery is in need of replacement or re-covering.  The vinyl material is getting more stiff/brittle and cracks are in the driver seat and some of the rear seat.  And yes, that's a child car seat in back.  Used to have two of them in fact.  The trunk floor is solid but it had a "protective" mat for years and it trapped moisture enough to cause the surface rust you can see in the picture.  But it is solid.  Just surface rust.  These are the major things wrong with the car but if you have questions let me know.  Mileage show on odometer and ad is not accurate.  True mileage of car unknown.  Engine has about 15K to 20K miles on it since it was built.  

The winning bidder will receive the car as shown and also the ORIGINAL 350 4-bbl Buick engine, the original steel wheels and perfect hubcaps.  The 350 is a good running engine and, will fire up without issue if prepped with points, wires, etc.  

I'm saddened to sell the car but I have other priorities I must place ahead of it.  For this reason, I'm listing this car with no reserve.  Car will sell to the winning bidder.  Very low starting bid to get the ball rolling.  NO RESERVE.  

Please email me if you have questions or wish to receive additional pictures.

Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’

Wed, Mar 4 2020

WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.
