Up for sale is my 1967 Buick Skylark Convertible.  I have enjoyed her for a while and now its time to sell her off and put the money toward a new house.

The car was frame off restored around 4 years ago and is still in damn good condition. Every single thing on this car was completed and NO shortcuts were taken.  Every single thing on this car operates as it should.  The Mileage on the dash is showing 29480, I can not validate.  However, the Mileage on the car that I pulled the Big Block out of showed 31204, which is accurate as I validated with the son of the original owner.

Body & Frame: All the frame and undercoating is still in great condition with NO rust, chips, or peels.  Paint is an awesome 9 of 10 with one 1/4 inch paint nick on the tip of the hood and is visible within 1 foot (thanks to my son closing the garage door on me!).  Chrome is 9 of 10 with NO rust and very mild pitting (bottom side of bumpers). Stainless trim is an 8 of 10 with some very light scratches visible within 5 feet.  Front grill and trunk panel were stripped and painted flat black, mild wear and pitting is visible within 5 feet.

Mechanics: The original 340 Wildcat motor was removed this summer and was replaced with a fully re-built 1972 Buick 455 (7.5L) (Comp Cams, etc…) Big Block.  I have a little over 300 miles on the motor and can tell you it is CHERRY!  Starts on first pull and runs perfectly.  I still have break in oil and have yet to try her our…….If i hit 500 miles before she is sold I will have it re-serviced and gone through.   At the same time I had the turbo 350 pulled and gone through, she is perfect and handles the torque with ease. All front end bushings were replaced this summer and Hotchkis Big Block springs (1 inch drop) were thrown in.  She gets the hot air out the back end with a 2.5 inch full stainless exhaust with Super 40s. Big Block sound all the way!  I had the power drum brakes fully serviced this past March and just can't see pulling them yet.  They are working great and I have yet to have an issue.them rebuilt back in March and just couldn't see pulling them and putting them in a box yet. I do have a front end disk conversion kit sitting in the garage waiting for a rainy day….In Northern Cali those days don't come often!!!  All the gauges are working to include all original lighting. Power top is hydraulic and still runs without a hitch.

Interior: All interior was custom installed before i got her. I am not sure what the material is but it is not hard and cheap….very nice and classy feel.  There is some light wear to the drivers seat but they are still fitted well, very clean and hella soft.  NO rips, nicks, or shabby seams!  Dash was polished down to stainless (originally black). Custom radio installed in the glove box and original radio in the dash (INOP). There are a few little trim pieces that are ready to get refinished or replaced, but all in all I would give the interior a modest 8 of 10.


NOTE:  I am retired and may be able to assist with transporting (in my enclosed trailer) as long as the car is payed for before i leave my house and the buyer pays my fuel.

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.

2019 Buick Envision starts just under $33,000

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Buick has announced that prices for its new 2019 Envision will start at $33,985 (including destination), positioning the refreshed compact SUV right between its best-selling Encore entry-level crossover and more upmarket Enclave and taking aim at competitors including the Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX. The Envision will be offered in five trim levels — Envision, Preferred, Essence, Premium and Premium II, which starts at $45,590 — when the crossover goes on sale this spring. Prices exclude tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. We told you recently about the optional new nine-speed Hydra-Matic 9T50 automatic transmission and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder on the top two trim levels. The upgraded engine offers 252 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard setup remains the 197-hp 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 147 lb-ft of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic, offered in front- or all-wheel drive. The crossover gets a new winged Buick emblem on the grille, new headlamps and newly sculpted front and rear facias, plus optional 19-inch wheels. It also gets a Buick-first tire-fill alert that signals when a tire has reached the recommended pressure level. Standard technology features include an in-vehicle air ionizer to eliminate odors, a switch to turn off its fuel-saving engine stop feature, rear-park assist, an 8-inch diagonal infotainment system and 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. By dropping the starting MSRP by nearly $1,000, GM says the Envision is now better positioned against its top-selling Encore (starting MSRP $22,990), for which nearly 60 percent of buyers come from outside the automaker's stable of brands.

Buick officially launches the redesigned 2021 Envision

Thu, Jan 21 2021

The 2021 Buick Envision is officially official. Yes, that Envision — the one we showed you back in May 2020 — is now for sale, and we now have all of the finer details about the redesigned crossover, which is lower, wider and more technologically robust than its predecessor.  One could argue that we already knew the most important thing about Buick's updated CUV: It looks good. The same couldn't necessarily be said of its previous incarnation, which, like several of GM's outgoing small crossovers, could be charitably described as inoffensive, but often merely looked frumpy and incoherent.  2021 Buick Envision Avenir View 25 Photos Rather than the flow-for-flow's-sake design of the outgoing model, the 2021 boasts a more chiseled, angular look, especially in Avenir guise. It also boasts a redesigned cabin and a new suite of standard tech features, including standard forward collision warning, front pedestrian braking and rear park assist. Optional goodies include a HUD, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a hands-free power liftgate. Avenir models bake in several of the standard Envision's optional upgrades, including heated and ventilated front seats, a massaging driver's seat and heated outboard rear seats. It also offers an optional adaptive suspension.  “The all-new 2021 Envision is a tremendous opportunity for the brand,” said Duncan Aldred, global vice president for Buick and GMC. “With strong, differentiated designs, and a combination of advanced technologies and premium appointments, it will stand apart in one of the industryÂ’s most competitive segments.” Buick has also nailed down the specs on the Envision's updated powertrain. The 2.0-liter turbo engine will make 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, with GM's twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system available as an upgrade. Both models get a nine-speed automatic gearbox.  As confirmed previously with the release of Buick's 2021 order guide, the Envision starts at $32,995 (including destination) and is available at dealers now. We expect to get our hands on one for a more thorough evaluation some time in the coming months. Stay tuned.Â
