You're looking at the 'Star Car' from the Kevin Kline movie,Extra Man. I have lost a portion of my storage facility and must sell it. I know there's lots of good parts for someone ,and I hate to scrap it. This thing,as ugly as it is ,runs great! It has a rebuilt Turbo 400 with about 2k on it,a rebuilt Positraction rear end and a COMPLETE,,Unmolested 455! all the air pump stuff is there, and the car starts with the first click of the key! I'ts a Limited,which was very low production,and has all kinds of rare options: Cornering lights,Lamp monitors,Tilt Wheel,Posi,Factory Dual Exhaust, Speed minder, Factory Am-FM Stereo 60/40 split front seat with 6 way power adjustment on driver AND passenger side, power door locks,power windows, remote driver's side mirror, Power Antenna, Wire wheel covers. The interior is in really nice shape,with the exception of some small tears on the driver's seat.

  I know the car is really scary looking,but it's a great parts car or even a candidate for a restoration if someone is really motivated by the car's rarity. I just can't bring myself to scrap it,as I've owned it over 20 years,used it to tow my other show cars with(Oh it has a class 3 hitch,with an electric brake set-up),used it in a bunch of movies (In Extra Man,the director actually does a shout out for the Buick ) I'm not looking to retire by selling this car, I just want it to either help someone restore another one or perhaps rise from the ashes to let someone else enjoy it. I'll be happy to answer any questions prior to the end of the auction,and if you're local come and see it in person. Currently the car is not registered or inspected, and the brakes are a little weak due  to a broken line,but it does run and stop.

    Payment in full,either cash or bank check  before the title is transferred and the vehicle must be removed within 10 days from the end of the auction. a $200 dollar non refundable deposit is due 48 hours after the end of the auction.

   This is a NO RESERVE auction, So it's leaving,,no foolin' ! Happy Bidding!

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Junkyard Gem: 1978 Buick Skylark Sedan

Sat, Feb 20 2021

Around the time that OPEC shut off the oil taps, The General realized that it was time to sell more small cars from GM divisions not previously known for such machines. The logical candidate for this project was the Chevrolet Nova, a rear-wheel-drive compact that shared much of its chassis design with the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. The Nova-based Pontiac Ventura came out in the 1971 model year, and the Buick and Oldsmobile Divisions began producing their own badge-engineered Nova siblings for 1973 (Cadillac was late to the party, but eventually created the Nova-based Seville for 1976). At first, the Buickized Nova got Apollo badges, but the better-known Skylark name was applied to these cars for the 1975 through 1979 model years. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those Nova-based Skylarks, found in a Denver self-serve yard. From the 1964 through 1972 model years, the Skylark lived on the A-Body chassis and was sibling to the Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu, Pontiac LeMans/Tempest/GTO, and Oldsmobile Cutlass/442. After the 1975-1979 rear-wheel-drive X-Body phase, the Skylark name then went onto the unrelatedĀ front-wheel-dive X-Body chassis developed for the Chevrolet Citation. It's a Nova, sure, but Buick made sure that it had a bit more swank than its Chevy counterpart. Checked seat fabric with big square buttons! The base engine in the '78 Skylark was the 3.8-liter Buick V6, rated at 110 horsepower. GM had invested in a new crankshaft design for this engine the year before, so it no longer had the "odd-fire" cut-down V8 crankshaft that shook the fillings out of so many drivers' teeth in earlier years. An assortment of low-compression V8s from Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Buick were available as optional equipment as well, eventually leading to the "Chevymobile" lawsuits of a few years later. The base transmission in this car was a three-speed manual (I'm not sure if you could still get a three-on-the-tree column-shift manual Skylark in 1978, but a three-on-the-floor manual was available for sure). The very last three-on-the-tree car Americans could buy was the '79 Nova and its Olds Omega/Pontiac Phoenix siblings, while the final three-on-the-floor cars were the '81 Malibu and siblings. This car has the optional three-speed automatic.

A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
