Sherman Oaks, California, United States

 For sale is a 1964 Buick Skylark 4 door station wagon--9 passenger, 3 seats!....this was the very first year of production of the Buick and Oldsmobile A-body models that featured skylights in the roof...the emblems on the 64 read "Skylark"...the name was changed to "Sport Wagon" beginning with the 65 Model year and continuing for many years to follow.

This car has been in California it's entire life....still has it's original black and gold plates....and has been driven only 87,000 miles since brand new!...that's less than 2,000 miles per year...kept inside so that even the outside rubber around the vent windows in the front doors is in very good condition

The body is very straight....the floors, bottoms of front fenders, bottoms of doors, bottom of quarters, bottom of tail gate and drip rails on roof are all solid...frame is very clean..there is a whole through the door skin at the lower bottom corner of each of the doors about the size of a large green pea...have shown the areas in the pictures...extremely easy fix....this body and all it's stainless and aluminum trim is in very nice condition....even very few tiny dings in the belt line stainless trim where car doors would normally damage it....as pictured, there are 2 very small dents, 1 on the side of each of the tail lights...about the size of a tangarine....and a tiny crease in the lower rear most quarter panels, probably from rubbing against something while backing out the garage...all in all a very nice body with no evidence of bondo.....there were a very few pin holes in the front floors...we laid cloth and resin to seal them

There has been considerable restoration labor and new part installation to this point: beginning at the front....brand new ($450) A/C capacity radiator...the motor has been cleaned and has a new water pump, fuel pump, distributor, plugs, wires, alternator rebuilt....the power steering box was just rebuilt....the master cylinder, brake shoes, hardware kits and wheel cylinders have all been replaced as needed

The entire front suspension has been replaced with new ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings, inner and outer tie rods, center link, front shocks and new alignment-this car is so sweet to drive....smooth, quiet, steer with 1 finger, has power when needed....idles like a fine watch

New GoodYear thin radial whitewall tires were installed, along with a new windshield, new ignition switch, new aftermarket dash gauges

The original tri-tone deluxe interior can be easily restored....the padded dash has no cracks, all door panels and arm rests are excellent.....the rear 2 seats show very little wear..the front seat has seams that have split but the seat could definitely be stitched after new padding was installed and look very presentable if you are trying to keep the maximum originality...originally an A/C car, but it appears it was never installed...the dash end vents are present, but the vent above the radio was never installed....we were going to install an aftermarket underdash unit-they work so much better.....the original radio is there and should just need servicing to perform well again

All glass is good, electric rear tailgate window works great...will include the correct Buick emblem tissue dispenser and, if full asking price is met...I will include a nearly NOS set of front and rear floor mats, correct for this particular interior that say "Skylark" and have the 3 shields embossed

Easiest running restoration project you can find....go back to original white paint or choose a color that blends beautifully with the deluxe brown tone interior...there is a small leak from the transmission rear seal...likely from sitting in storage....condition may improve with more usage but want to disclose everything you would want to know...the new water temperature gauge on the dash leaks a little for some reason-I purchased the same gauge with an electric sending unit for the new buyer to install

the car is currently registered in Calif until new Spring, clear title in my name

Proceeds from this sale will be used to purchase items of warmth and comfort for those who are served by the homeless ministry at my church

Thanks for reading-this is a rare model that should prove to be an excellent investment-so much time, work and money already spent to this point

Buick Blackhawk concept headed to auction block again

Tue, Jan 27 2015

While the collector car auction market is often criticized for inflating the price of vintage models out of the realm of affordability for many buyers, these sales do give us an opportunity to look back on some of the beautiful, rare designs of the past. Just take a glance at this Buick Blackhawk concept with a shape right out of the '40s or '50s. Despite the heritage styling, it was pieced together from older pieces for Buick to celebrate itself in the early 2000s With styling inspiration from the classic Buick Y-Job concept car, the Blackhawk mixes actual vintage components to create its curvaceous shape. However, the power retractable top is thoroughly modern being made from carbon fiber and stows in the deck lid when the roof needs to go down. After so much work on the outside, the Buick has something equally surprising under the hood. It's a 1970 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 GS Stage III V8 with a claimed 463 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, and for easy cruising the mill is linked to a four-speed automatic. Built in-house by Buick, the Blackhawk was once part of the General Motors Heritage Fleet, but the automaker sold it off in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, along with many other members of the collection. The concept went for $522,500 after the buyer's premium, according to the auctioneers. Now, it's crossing the block again with no reserve as part of RM Auctions sale of the Andrews Collection on May 2, 2015, in Fort Worth, TX. The 75-car auction also includes highlights like one of seven 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet models bodied by Pininfarina.

2018 Buick Enclave launches luxury Avenir trim

Wed, Apr 12 2017

Remember the shapely Buick Avenir Concept from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? Well, this isn't that, even if they both share the same name. Meet the Buick Enclave Avenir, a new trim built atop Buick's redesigned 2018 Enclave seven-passenger crossover. Think of it as Buick's version of GMC's Denali trim and you'll be on the right track. As the brand's new top trim level, everything that's normally optional in the Enclave comes standard in the Avenir, along with a bunch of exclusive content. And this is just the first application of the Avenir package for Buick – expect the rest of the TriShield brand's products to get a similar makeover in due time. All Avenir models from Buick will get what the brand is calling a three-dimensional mesh grille with a new set of chrome wings. From there, the Enclave edition bundles unique pearl nickel 20-inch wheels, a Rear Camera Mirror like the one seen from Cadillac, and a new kind of LED headlamps that use something called Evonik Acrylite lighting technology. An in-car air ionizer promises to keep the cabin smelling fresh. The rest of the Enclave package sounds pretty good, too. It's got a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine with 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. A tow rating of 5,000 pounds is standard fare for this class, as are seven seats inside. A frameless eight-inch LCD screen and integrated 4G wireless connectivity are other family-friendly highlights. We expect more Avenir-branded models to make their appearance in the Buick showroom soon. In the meantime, check out the Enclave Avenir in the image gallery above, and stay tuned for more from New York. Related Video:

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
