 HISTORY: This Skylark was an original Black Plate California car. which has spent the last 25+ years in the dry desert areas of Eastern WA. Owner has spent thousands in recent professional restorations on this solid low mileage Skylark convertible. This car is fully licensed with current WA State tabs as a daily driver. 


The Skylark was the top of the line model. 

1964 was a new body design for the Skylark, and the Skylark Fireball V6 had been voted as “CAR OF THE YEAR”. In 64 the Skylark engine was upgraded to a 225 cubic-inch cast iron block V6, rated at 155 hp at 4400 rpm & almost 16 MPG. This rare survivor still sports its original NUMBERS MATCHING engine & the factory FIREBALL V-6 air cleaner. This is a factory Fireball Sport V6 convertible with AT, full power steering & tilt steering wheel. This was a custom order, DSO built in California.  Data Plate show 1–A for date, January 1st of 1964, along with a 2-2. DSO (Dealer Special Order) number of 11300.

71,836 miles, solid & rust free CA built Skylark Convertible…

I have added photos with carpets removed, to show the floor pans as amazing condition, showing very solid with not even surface rust. Everywhere I looked I have seen no evidence of rust as in CA and WA do not salt roads, and we do get amazing condition survivors like this one.  You can see the factory checkered mat glued down in the trunk. Note how solid and shiny metal under the hood, around the engine & under the trunk! There is a spare rally wheel and trunk accessories and the factory manual is still in the glove-box of this rare condition survivor. 

Receipts show car recently tuned with new wires, plugs, points, cap, gas filter, new synthetic blend oil & Fram filter. You can also see the engine has been well maintained, refreshed with recent water pump, new hoses, belts and a new battery. We just added fluid to the convertible top system, and power motor works great. The new carpet was just installed and seat belts installed since photos were taken. The new boot just came out of the box, so the included trim clips still need to be added. The sporty 225-V6 engines are noted for good MPG, reliability, power & torque. Because these are based upon the V8 block, change overs are easy, along with Edelbrock aluminum intake manifolds, headers, carbs & dual exhaust systems to really make this a muscle type car if desired.

ESTATE SALE:  I am helping the owner clear an estate and move this classic vintage muscle car on to a new home. As such, I do not have full history, but being a classic car collector I can honestly say someone is going to get one heck of a classic muscle car in solid & original condition … a true head turner that is a great investment you can drive & enjoy!!

An investment quality vehicle you can have fun with… for weekend fun or show! The 1964 Skylark is one of the most sought after years, and the Skylark Convertible now books from $16500 to $26000 for fully restored examples based upon actual sales.

Buick Velite 6 MAV is the brand's first all-electric vehicle

Mon, Apr 15 2019

Buick is making a big splash at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show. It just debuted the brand's first all-electric vehicle, dubbed the Velite 6 MAV, which is a production version of the concept we saw a year ago. The vehicle is reportedly built on a new platform GM developed with China's SAIC and will be sold in China. This platform uses a "new-generation pure electric drive system," but it's not based on the new electric vehicle platform GM said is going to underpin new electric cars in the U.S. starting in 2021. Consumers may not want it here anyways. The electric motor makes 114 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque. It has a "city" electric driving range of 187 miles, but Buick doesn't quote any numbers as they would pertain to our EPA rating system. That's plenty of range for most folks, but the lack of power would be a tough sell here. Buick calls this thing an MAV, which stands for multi-activity vehicle. It's tough to put a car type on it, because it borrows elements from several different styles. We'll just distill it to a mash-up between a wagon and a crossover, sort of like the Subaru Outback. At least it appears utilitarian. Buick says that it costs about $25,000 after all the Chinese government subsidies for an electric vehicle have been applied. The goal here is to give the Buick-hungry Chinese market an electric option, and this doesn't look half bad. GM is even entering into a car-sharing venture to deploy 5,000 Velite 6s with EVCARD (car sharing company) into strategic areas. Those will reportedly be put into operation on April 28 this year.
