Here is nice 1970 Buick Skylark shell car. ( Not a GS) This Buick would be great for a restoration project to build a cool Tribute Car, Street Rod, or parts car. The car has spent a great deal of its life in Texas, therefore its in decent shape.The car has some minor rust (See pictures). The undercarriage is nice and solid, floor plans have some surface rust, but are very solid. The truck floor-pans have some small holes and minor welding should do the repair. The right quarter has some minor collision damage, could be repaired or replaced depending on your goals. Over all, the body is in decent shape and is a good starting point.

This Buick appears to have been someone's once long ago dream project to turn it into a GS or GSX clone, thus it has some extra goodies on it. It has GS mirrors and grill, along with a 1970 Buick 350 4 barrel motor. The motor does not run, but turns over. It ran several years ago, but has not since it was parked. The brakes need work as well and are not functional. Needless to say, it needs a new interior, which will require a new front bench seat or buckets, but car will have its back seat included in the sale. Don't let the ugly interior fool you, most people replace the interior anyways. Thanks to this Buick's cousins being the GTO, 442, and Chevelle, there is a large amount of aftermarket parts available that are reasonably priced. This car needs a good home for someone looking for a fun project.

The vehicle must be picked up no later than March 1, 2013 and will require a flat bed trailer or truck, with chains to tie it down. Sold as is. Read description carefully before bidding. Again, deposit refunds will not be given, so no change of hearts. Make sure that this vehicle is what you want before moving forward with any bids. If you have any questions please ask.

MotorWeek remembers the nearly forgotten Buick Reatta

Thu, Feb 18 2016

The Reatta was Buick's failed experiment to take on European competitors with its own two-seat luxury coupe and convertible. The model only lasted a few years, and US customers didn't see another droptop from the brand until the Cascada. The latest MotorWeek Retro Review takes a look back at the short-lived roadster and remembers it quite fondly. Host John Davis calls the 1990 Reatta droptop "one of the best looking convertibles ever." His sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, but the roadster is definitely an attractive machine by the standards of the time. The smooth front end and pop-up headlights are reminiscent of Japanese sports cars of era, and the profile with the top down is elegant. There are weaknesses, though. The manual roof mechanism appears cumbersome to operate, and the crude digital instruments, which simulate physical dials, make the cabin look too dated. Other than a complaint about over-boosted power steering, MotorWeek enjoys how the Reatta drives, too. Buick's roadster is largely forgotten today, but such glowing praise suggests it deserves to be better remembered. Check out this Retro Review to look back on this interesting experiment from the early '90s. Related Video:

Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.

Mon, Feb 8 2016

An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.

Pre-owned bargain alert: Buick Regal

Wed, Feb 3 2016

For the past couple of years, Buick has been very aggressive in promoting short-term low-mileage leasing. The plan was to get people in the door to experience the new Buick. Once they realized Buicks are now sleek and full of Euro Chic, people might want to buy one. It's debatable if that plan worked, but one thing is for sure: There's a massive amount of low-mileage Buick Regals out there. The price of Regals is all over the map due to lease returns and dealers aggressively discounting 2015 models to get rid of them. But at the $17,500–20,000 range there are a good number of 2013 to 2015 Regals with under 15k miles for sale. The Regal might come with 2.0L Turbo or 2.4L Hybrid. The Hybrid is a bit slow; stick with the Turbo and drive with the traction control off. They all come moderately equipped with leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. If you have a little more cash to spend, go for the 2012/2013 Regal GS, which is based on the Opel Insignia OPC. The Regal GS comes with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft from a turbo engine and a HiPerStrut suspension to reduce torque steer. They all come standard with Brembo brakes, navigation, sunroof, and premium sound system, in automatic or manual. Just make sure you budget money in your savings to replace the front tires. Trust me on this. You can purchase a Camry or Accord with some equipment for under $20,000 with a bit more miles and years than the Regal. But ultimately the Regal feels more premium, drives better, and is less boring. Make the right choice and buy something unique.Related Video:
