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. |

Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy
Wed, 31 Oct 2012Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
Buick officially launches the redesigned 2021 Envision
Thu, Jan 21 2021The 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
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
