Salem, Virginia, United States

1965 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE, 300ci V8, AT This was refurbished approx 20 years ago & the photos clearly show it has been well cared for since. The paint is glossy & the top & interior still like new. It starts easily, doesn't smoke or leak oil & the engine makes no unusual noises. The dual exhausts put out a nice muscle car rumble. This is being sold as is straight out of the indoor climate controled garage it was recently "freed" from, locked up too long, a yellow canary caged & unloved. :( It simply needs to be driven & enjoyed rather than locked away. :) All that was done to prepare it for photos was a hand wash & interior cleaning. A full tank of premium gas was added to help clear up the few gallons of old. The car drives great but really needs to get out & run again on a consistent basis. There is no floor pan, trunk pan or frame rust in this convertible! I believe that fact alone proves this cars constant garage kept status. You will not believe how nice the top is! There is not a single rip or spot of dry rot. The old power top motor is weak & requires two people to "help" it up & down. Ahh... just one of the many joys of owning a classic car. Even Grandma needs help up & down & you still love her! :) Those are very classic, original bias ply Goodyear redline tires with no dry rot, not even in the tread! I don't have to tell you it takes a great deal of care to keep tires this old from dry rot. The wheels have full chrome & all centers. The bumper chrome is super bright & I suspect they have been re-chromed because I just can't imagine 50 year old chrome to look that bright but who knows this is a garage kept car with just over 75K. The body trim condition matches the bumpers in appearance. The carpet has no rips, not even under the floor mats, tho it is a little stained here & there: can't always have perfection! The bucket seats are still solid, tightly applied & very comfortable for their age. The piping has the tiniest bit of wear on the edges & 2 button accents are missing on the rear seat material but otherwise you can clearly tell this has been indoors: free of dry rot or heavy sun fade. The interior has no musty smells, in fact the car has that pleasant old car smell that for some reason make you love them even more. The dash is also original with the original AM radio in place (not working), original coloring, no rips in the dash pad, etc. The brakes, radiator, electrical system, wipers, dual exhaust, gas tank, fuel system, etc are all functional, solid & acceptable. Nice options include the adjustable drivers side mirror & front seat belts. The glass is all good, no cracks, chips, discoloration, even the tops rear plastic "window" is crack free. The passenger side rear glass needs an extra hand to get it up & down. The paint is not show quality, it is bright & glossy with no dull spots but there are light chips from bumps in a tight garage but no more than expected for its vintage. The body did not appear to have been rusty when repaired, dented yes, but no rust bubbles are popping out anywhere. I would say the paint is about 85% & more than attractive for a daily driver. Paint has been well applied, liberally over every surface evenly & correctly: under the hood, trunk lid, door jambs, etc & those details greatly add to the overall eye appeal of this cool ride. Please bid often & to win & you will quickly meet the reserve that is well below market value. Why? Because we want to actually SELL this vehicle the FIRST time its listed. Use the money you save to have it shipped or to spruce it up a bit. The winning bidder will get to brag to friends about all the money they saved! We don't have a Barrett Jackson price in mind or even need to get "BOOK". Its just time to get this classic to a home that will DRIVE it. We will take the money made & buy another classic car because we love them. We already have a car in mind so we won't be accepting trade offers. If you love cars thanks for reading & considering our listing, hope you enjoyed it & would greatly appreciate any helpful or positive comments. Heck, if you have something negative to say, go for it, everybody needs a good laugh now & then. We tried to get your the best description we could but certainly we missed something important so please feel free to ask anything you would like to know, your questions will be answered quickly, honestly & to the best of our ability. The auction ends at exactly 9:00 EST, 8:00 Central, 7:00 Mt, 6:00 Pacific, Friday, May 30th so please be there to win!

I can hold the vehicle in indoor storage for 15 days (storage is $10.00 per day starting day 16). We are happy to work with the buyer to arrange shipping.

New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General 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.
Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later.
