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.

2013 Buick Enclave

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions

Sat, 01 Mar 2014

With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy

Mon, 05 May 2014

With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
