1967 Buick Skylark Convertible (455ci 7.5l) on 2040-cars
United States
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. |

2018 Buick Enclave launches luxury Avenir trim
Wed, Apr 12 2017Remember the shapely Buick Avenir Concept from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? Well, this isn't that, even if they both share the same name. Meet the Buick Enclave Avenir, a new trim built atop Buick's redesigned 2018 Enclave seven-passenger crossover. Think of it as Buick's version of GMC's Denali trim and you'll be on the right track. As the brand's new top trim level, everything that's normally optional in the Enclave comes standard in the Avenir, along with a bunch of exclusive content. And this is just the first application of the Avenir package for Buick – expect the rest of the TriShield brand's products to get a similar makeover in due time. All Avenir models from Buick will get what the brand is calling a three-dimensional mesh grille with a new set of chrome wings. From there, the Enclave edition bundles unique pearl nickel 20-inch wheels, a Rear Camera Mirror like the one seen from Cadillac, and a new kind of LED headlamps that use something called Evonik Acrylite lighting technology. An in-car air ionizer promises to keep the cabin smelling fresh. The rest of the Enclave package sounds pretty good, too. It's got a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine with 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. A tow rating of 5,000 pounds is standard fare for this class, as are seven seats inside. A frameless eight-inch LCD screen and integrated 4G wireless connectivity are other family-friendly highlights. We expect more Avenir-branded models to make their appearance in the Buick showroom soon. In the meantime, check out the Enclave Avenir in the image gallery above, and stay tuned for more from New York. Related Video:
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation 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.
2018 Buick Regal GS : The 310-hp American hot hatch
Wed, Jul 19 2017Buick has spent the last decade shredding its perception as the low-level luxury vehicle for geriatrics, but the brand hasn't always been associated with that crowd. In fact, ask some enthusiasts and you'll hear about the GM 3800 series engines, IndyCar racing, and the mythical GS and GNX. In that high-octane theme, GM pulled back the curtain on the all-new, all-wheel drive, 310-horsepower 2018 Buick Regal GS Wednesday morning in Milford, MI. The GS is basically a sport-tuned version of the all-new Buick Regal. We've seen the standard and high-riding wagon variants, but this is our first look at what's likely to be the enthusiast pick. The Regal GS uses the five-door sportback bodystyle from the standard car (though a GS version of the TourX would be awesome), swiped from GM's soon-to-be former German division, Opel. While a number of automakers are downsizing engines, Buick is soldiering on with its tried and true naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, in this guise making 310 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic. The all-wheel drive system uses a twin-clutch setup and has been tuned specifically for the GS. The Regal GS makes more power than both the Acura TLX A-Spec (290 horsepower) and the Lexus IS350 F-Sport (306 horsepower). The V6 features both cylinder deactivation and auto stop/start for better fuel economy. The fully independent suspension uses the second-gen Continuous Damping Control (CDC), capable of 500 adjustments per second. Selectable modes allow the driver to tailor the car to fit the situation. Large Brembo front brakes are surrounded by standard 19-inch wheels and tires. The exterior gets a few styling changes like a sporty front and rear fascias, a small rear spoiler, and plenty of GS badges. Inside, the Regal GS gets unique sport seats with integrated headrests and adjustable lumbar and thigh bolsters. They even come standard with heating, ventilation, and massaging functions. The driver faces a GS badged flat-bottom steering wheel and GS-specific pedals. A full-color heads-up display is optional. Available safety features include front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warnings, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. The real key for the success of the Regal GS could be pricing.
