A LOW 41,000 MILEAGE & RUST FREE CALIFORNIA CAR

HISTORY: This rare bird has an unusual history & custom build. It was discovered many years ago, barn type find that was stored away, missing some handles, trims, window & rear seat… but was a solid and low mileage California Black Plate vehicle. The new owner had visions of making a show level car that was never completed. Ownership was again transferred in 2012, and has now slowly come back to life... waiting now for final restorations. Over last few years it has received a full body strip and new quality OEM Buick FLAME RED color paint. Factory rear seats were found, rebuilt & recovered with new paddings & OEM materials. The rear upper side panels and armrest panels were also professionally recovered. This Skylark is completely rust free and was documented as having 41,000 actual miles. It is believed to be a rare & special order vehicle.

NEEDS FURTHER COMPLETIONS & RESTORATIONS: Over 90% Completed: NEEDS AT transmission seal, window & door assembly & arm rest installations & complete new convertible top assembly.

FACTORY V8 RUNS VERY SMOOTH & STRONG. This car has run & driven nicely… but from sitting, has a dry transmission seal and needs the front seal replaced prior to usage. Local shop has estimated under $350.00 parts & labor. The prior owner was in process of doing convertible top repairs, and years ago had placed a new black vinyl top onto the top frame but never completed the job. Plan on a whole new top assembly for the car & electrical top motor which is missing. The OEM convertible latch handles are off the frame but are included. The rear plastic top window is still rolled up and dirty from sitting around for years. Car may have been ordered with a white or saddle tan top when it was new? The driver’s side window that was missing now has a replacement OEM window that is included with the car. The wing & window and window track systems will need to be installed. New door handles were found, replacement antenna & included armrests need to be put onto the car. New battery also installed. When complete a #2 condition Skylark V8 Sport Covertible books at close to $26,000.00 depending upon options & color... #1 at $35K++

SPECIAL ORDER/DSO VEHICLE - Data Plate & VIN Informations:

Please see photo of DATA PLATE & Analysis below. There are many unknowns about this rare car. It was a DSO Special Order Vehicle. It had NO PAINT CODE. You will see a star in its place. We uncovered some Metallic Gold flake paint around all of the upper inner fenders. It did not match any standard 1965 paint colors? The paint under the hood and trunk was not repainted, and looks original flame red color from many years ago? This Special Order car came with a very rare package of buckets & floor shift console. It was first thought maybe car was an early GS/ GRAND SPORT optioned vehicle. The GS option was mid-year option, not yet a model, but this car has the 300 V8 & a vintage Wildcat 310 air-cleaner. The car has factory style dual exhaust. The DATA PLATE TRIM Number of 128 is listed only in the GS Directory as black vinyl GS bucket seats. The last line on the DATA Plate is for accessories. It is loaded with accessories noy yet decoded: 2XGP-4F-5W . There are other sets of letters also not been decoded as of yet.

NOTES: I have been told by “Buick” guys that there were a very limited number of early year Sport 300 convertible models produced, this Skylark loaded out as a GS may have been done before the “ GS Option” was available. Some of these rare SPORT version convertibles were custom dealer orders and some were done early for preview of 1965 Buick models. It is believed this car was built as a rare SPORT 300, prior to GS being optioned mid year. SHOW & GO!! THIS IS A RARE OPTIONED SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE, investment grade vehicle & excellent buy priced well below market for you to complete final restorations!

2020 Buick Encore GX pricing makes it a better bargain than the smaller Encore

Thu, Nov 14 2019

In April, Buick revealed the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai. At the time, we thought there was a chance the slightly larger GX would supplant the Encore in the U.S. By August, we learned that wouldn't happen, the Encore GX slotting into the lineup between the Encore and the Envision. With nearly $8,000 between the starting prices of the Encore and the Envision, there'd be plenty of room for the GX to find a good home leaving plenty of MSRP daylight between the crossover bookends. That doesn't appear to be what's happened, though. CarsDirect got hold of an early order guide for the Encore GX, and writes that the Encore GX in Preferred trim will cost $24,100 before a $995 destination charge, totaling $25,095. That's $900 more than the entry-level Encore in 1SV trim, but $500 less than the Encore in comparable Preferred trim.Â Â The Encore offers an intermediate Sport Touring trim between Preferred and top-level Essence trims. The Encore GX will come in an intermediate Select trim, which CarsDirect didn't mention a price for. Stepping up to the top Essence variant with front-wheel drive costs $29,495 for the Encore GX, $800 less than a similar Encore, which costs $30,295.Â Â If these are the figures that show up on dealer lots, the Encore GX seems like a no-brainer. The Encore rides on an older GM platform called GEM, for Global Emerging Markets, the GX model is built on GM's new VSS-F architecture. Both are fine looking vehicles, but the GX is a little more handsome. The Encore offers one engine, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, shifting through a six-speed transmission. The base engine on the Encore GX will be a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 137 hp and 166 lb-ft, shifting through a CVT. The second GX engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 155 hp and 174 lb-ft, optional on the front-wheel drive Select and Essence trims, standard on every all-wheel-drive model. That more powerful motor shifts through a nine-speed automatic.Â As if all that weren't enough, the GX's reason for being is that it offers more room. An additional three inches in length provides an extra 4.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. The GX wins on safety, too, coming standard with tech like forward collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.

Opel Insignia wagon would make a mighty fine Buick Regal

Mon, Oct 17 2016

Once again, the Buick Regal's European stablemate will be getting a long-roof iteration, and our spy photographers have caught it out testing. Normally we wouldn't be overly concerned about the new Opel Insignia wagon, but considering the rumors surrounding a Regal wagon, we have reason to pay attention. Like the next-generation Insignia sedan that we've previously seen, this wagon adopts a much longer and wider look compared with the current model. The nose is also noticeably more upright than the gently sloping iteration of its predecessor. These changes are accompanied by more slender lights and a generally more broad-shouldered look. It's difficult to discern much else, though. As for the odds of this wagon appearing in the States, they look decent, but far from guaranteed. The next Regal sedan will probably continue as a rebadged Insignia, and may be built in Germany. Rumors of a wagon have persisted, supported by word of focus group testing with other wagons and the registration of a trademark for "Tourx." If Opel produces another high-riding, plastic-clad Country Tourer model, we could see it come here with the Tourx name to challenge the Subaru Outback, Audi Allroad, Volvo Cross Country models and, most recently, the Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain. It would also provide the company with another crossover-esque model for little extra development cost. We've also heard a report that a Regal wagon of some sort was confirmed at a dealer meeting.

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
