1969 Buick Skylark 2dr Ht A/c Auto Very Nice Car on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is a very nice 1969 Buick Skylark 2 door hard top. What I have for sale is a very nice car that turns heads and runs and drives GREAT. What I DON’T have for sale is a $40-$80K fire breathing dragon, beast of a hot rod. This is a car that you can get in, turn the key and drive to anywhere and enjoy it. The best part is that the pricing won’t BREAK THE BANK. WAAAAAAY less than $20K will buy this car and your money will be well spent. These cars are not readily available and continue to rise in price about 8% - 12% per year. With normal, routine maintenance I believe that this car will last for decades. In the late 60’s and early 70’s Buick was well known for its MONSTER HIGH TORQUE engines and its high line cars. The Buick name meant luxury and that did not always set well with the high performance guys of the day. If you wanted a “hot rod car” then you had to give up all of the FRILLS that went with the luxury cars….RIGHT? Well as we have seen in recent years you can own a 12 second car or 180+ top speed car , from the factory ( ZL1 Camaro, Shelby, Corvette etc) and drive it around with the windows rolled up and the A/C on, cruise set at 80 and get 20+ MPG. Some people want to look at, drive, or own the screamers of that era which in this case would be the big block version of the GS or GSX. This car is NOT that. This is the Skylark Custom. It still carries a 350 V-8 with 280 factory rated H.P. and 275 Ft.lbs torque and a 10.25:1 compression STOCK!!!! This car comes with its ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS, high compression Buick 350, that will still bark the tires, shifting, when you push it. The automatic 3 speed transmission shifts nice and smooth when you’re just “DRIVING” around. This car is at home in the neighborhood at 30 m.p.h. or on the highway. It loves 75 m.p.h. It seems to just “float” down the road. Both the engine and transmission have about 13K miles on them and BOTH perform well. The dual flow master type exhaust gives this car a GREAT exhaust note and still is quiet enough at highway speeds to enjoy the aftermarket stereo. Power steering and ICE COLD FACTORY air conditioning finish up just what you would expect to find in a nice car that you may choose to drive every day. This car is that nice and that dependable. This car was refinished several years ago but still looks GREAT today. It is finished in its factory colors and shows no sign of any previous body damage. The windshield has a light scratch and a single “star” in it. The rest of the glass is in near perfect shape, as is the chrome and bright metal on this car. The front and rear suspension is in GREAT shape and it drives VERY WELL. The interior is in excellent condition with the exception of the headliner that I will replace before it leaves here. Just to be clear. It will have a PERFECT headliner the correct color when it sells. The body on this car is very straight and only shows a couple of “chips” or dings’. I don’t go on and on with a 10 page list of what all has been done and when. How about the fact that this car just does everything that it’s supposed to do and more. Add to that the fact that it has a near new appearance. I don’t need to tell you that I put new locking lug nuts on it and blah, blah, blah. It’s just right. Under the hood and under the car is nice and rust free. This is a nice car that has been very well maintained and can be driven home from Corpus Christi, Texas with confidence!! You may have questions, please feel free to call. Scott 361-331-3322. I can and will assist with shipping WORLD WIDE.I have been in the restoration business for more than 2 decades and yes, my opinions are mine. My opinion is that this is a very well done car that is used to being driven and performs as it did the day it was purchased new……45 years ago. Hard to find these days. As this car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to stop this ad at any time for any reason. |

2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally
Wed, 08 Jan 2014If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.
Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise
Thu, Jan 10 2019Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.
