1971 Buick Skylark 455 Auto Runs Well, Gsx Clone, Western Car, Little Rust 1970 on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States
This is a 1971 Buick Skylark that came from Washington state about 6 years ago. It was originally a medium blue car with a with a white interior. I had it repainted yellow and black to look like a GSX. I fixed it up about four years ago, put in new front seats, carpet, radio and speakers, door panels, armrests, floor shifter, tach, steering wheel, stall converter, windshield, dual flow master exhaust and turn downs, crager rims etc! This car has a non matching number Buick 455 and automatic transmission. I installed a B&M ratchet shifter to control the transmission. This car has a four barrel carb and runs and drives well. The fairly large dent in the drivers side rear quarter panel was from getting backed into from another car. The damage in the right front wheel well was the result from the wheel bearing going out that loosened the lug nuts and dropped the wheel. I professional body man fixed the rust spot in the bottom of the right front fender by welding in an aftermarket patch panel. The trunk floor pan was also starting to rust a little so it was also replaced. This car has a classic looking aftermarket digital radio with an optional cd auxiliary hook up. I installed four new 100 watt speakers - two in the rear shelf and two in the front kick panels. The front bench seat was replaced with two black leather American racing bucket seats. The windshield wiper switch is stuck in the on position. The wipers work but put need to be plugged in or unplugged as needed. The heater switch does not work but a toggle switch was installed under dash to make the heater blower run. This car is not perfect but is a good fixer upper and a lot of fun to drive. This car also comes with a 1968 Buick 455 that could be rebuilt into an higher performance motor. I will be adding more information soon. Thanks a lot, Jason - phone 406-899-0768 in Montana evenings or leave a message. |

GM applies to trademark Buick's Electra name in Canada
Mon, Dec 27 2021At Auto China 2020 in Beijing, Buick revealed an Electra concept with a design language called Potential Energy created by one of GM's Shanghai-based design studios. A press release about the concept said the "all-electric crossover offers a sneak peek at Buick’s vision for a new intelligent electric future." It's possible that the "intelligent electric future" could include the Electra name, as the Rivian Owners Forum discovered Buick applied to trademark that model name in Canada on December 20. Buick isn't new to the name, having put it on a luxury sedan it produced from 1959 to 1990. What better way to resurrect history with electricity using the name Electra and a design language called Potential Energy? As the Rivian forum also noted, Buick snuck a concept car into General Motors' promotional video for the Ultifi software platform that will connect owners' digital lives across vehicles and locations. For less than two seconds at the end of the vid, a seriously chic fastback sedan speeds through a digital landscape, a Buick tri-shield logo set into what looks like an active rear spoiler. We don't see Buick building this car, but we'd love it if Buick did. What we imagine more likely is a more production-possible evolution of the Electra concept shown in Beijing last year that had Ultium batteries powering two electric motors that shared a combined 583 horsepower among both axles. The sprint to 60 miles per hour was said to take 4.3 seconds, range estimated at about 410 miles. The dihedral doors enclosed a buttonless cockpit with a rectangular, retracting steering wheel, huge curved screen, eConnect software, and an AI-powered assistant for feature control. There was also a skateboard tucked into the rear bumper for last-mile travel to the destination or the half-pipe. We expect Buick to launch at least one crossover in 2024, and another in 2025. One of them will likely compete with the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the production version of the Chrysler Airflow concept. Related video:
GM offering factory-backed extended warranty for Chevys, GMCs, Buicks and Cadillacs
Mon, Oct 15 2018Cars are generally more reliable than ever before. When things do go wrong, every automaker offers some form of factory warranty (in most cases at least three years and 36,000 miles, though many extend even longer), providing peace of mind to new-car buyers that many faults will be fixed at no charge to the customer. Starting today, GM is offering a new optional plan that will extend the factory warranty on all new Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac products. In the past, extended warranties have been offered as dealer add-ons, with all profits from these sales going to the dealership. GM's new program can be viewed as another nail in the the looming dealership-model coffin. According to Automotive News, some dealers aren't happy to see GM cut into their business like this, saying that it helps GM far more than it does dealers. GM says the new program will help keep customers in the GM family. Customers are also more likely to visit a GM service center rather than going to an independent repair shop. Currently, new Chevy and GMC vehicles come with three-year/36,000-mile warranties. Buicks and Cadillacs are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The new program extends Chevy and GMC warranties to five years or 60,000 miles. Buick and Cadillac warranties extend to six years or 70,000 miles. GM, citing IHS Markit, says most owners keep new cars for about 6.8 years, so these warranties will cover most of the length of their ownership. The extended warranty will add between $1,000 and $2,000 to the price of a vehicle, and the additional cost can be rolled into the vehicle's purchase or lease price. Unlike many dealer extensions, the factory program covers the vehicle no matter who owns it. That should help increase the car's resale value if it's sold within the covered timeframe. GM says there's no deductible and no need to file a claim form when getting warranty repairs. Additionally, dealerships can continue to sell their own extended warranties or service contracts.

Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.
Mon, Feb 8 2016An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.
