1966 Buick Skylark GS (Gran Sport) bought new in May 1966 by my grandparents. I bought the car from them in 1991. Equipped with original 401 Nailhead (445 Wildcat) engine and ST400 (Turbo 400) 3 speed automatic transmission from a 66 LeSabre converted to normal torque converter and pump from switch pitch. Original ST300 2 speed transmission is included. Car was originally painted red with a white painted, not vinyl, top. Car was repainted once in the 1980's and is faded pretty badly. The pictures that show the paint all shiny were taken when the car was wet. The top has quite a bit of surface rust. Both front and rear window frames are rusted through at base of both and this has caused some corresponding rust in the footwells and trunk floor. Car was hit in the right rear corner shoving the tail panel and quarter panel forward. Several body guys have looked at the damage and all say this can be straightened instead of replacing the panels. The rest of the outer body is in great shape. Passenger door has a small rust spot on bottom rear corner. Rest of doors, fenders, quarter panels, and hood are solid with no rust. Glass is all good with 2 minor rock chips in windshield. Trunk lid and rear bumper have been replaced. Both bumpers are straight. Interior is pretty rough and needs almost everything replaced. Bottom end of engine was rebuilt in 2001 with a replacement crankshaft and new bearings. Transmission was changed to the 3 speed in 2005. Car was my daily driver from 2001 to 2009 and has been parked since then. Car starts and runs but I recommend trailering it home.It overheats (Nailheads were known for running hot) and needs pretty much everything rebuilt. Brakes, springs and shocks are worn out. I require a $500 deposit by paypal within 24 hours of auction end and the rest of the payment by cashiers check or cash when you pick up the car. Car is located in Callahan, Florida just north of Jacksonville. I have a few parts with me in Vancouver, Washington including the original carb and air cleaner, a few replacement trim pieces and a set of bucket seats out of a 66 Pontiac that I will include for free if the buyer wants them and pays for shipping of these items to their location.

The Skylark GS shares the same body with the Chevelle SS, GTO and Cutlass 442. It was much rarer than any of these with only 9934 2 door hardtops built in 66 compared with 19,144 of the Olds, 66,380 of the Chevy and 73,785 of the Pontiac. 1966 was also the last year of the Nailhead engine.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.

2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward Â— perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
