I have decided to sell my BEAUTIFUL 1972 Buick Skylark Convertible. I have owned this car for about a year and have had my fun so it's time for something else. The previous owner had the car for over 10 years. I am in my 50's and the previous owner was in his 40's. The car has not been beaten up.

This car is in VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION !!!

The odometer reads 75,990 miles. The car came from the factory without air conditioning.

The Skylark is blue with a black top and white interior (black carpet). The original color was orange. The body is very solid with only a few minor rust bubbles in the paint. The body is very, very solid for a classic in this area. Bring a magnet and you won't be disappointed. The paint looks reasonably good. There are a few chips in the paint and a light scratch on the trunk lid. The driver's door has a fairly large chip under the handle. The chrome should probably be redone as it doesn't shine like it should. Tail lenses could be replaced as well. The trunk is extremely solid. Unfortunately the previous owner removed the weather stripping between the windows and couldn't find it. So, it will need that. Some trim pieces are worn.

The white interior is in good shape. There are some tears at the bottom of the interior doors. The carpet, dash and glass look good.

The top is in very good shape also. There is only one small tear on the drivers side behind the back window --smaller than a dime. The convertible top goes up and down like it should. I did have to add a small amount of fluid this spring, There is a slight leak so it will have to be topped off from time to time. There is a white parade boot, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just drive without it.

Mechanically, I would trust this car to DRIVE ANYWHERE!! The engine is a 350 and I believe it to be the ORIGINAL ENGINE. I checked the numbers and they are correct. It always starts and sounds very mean. The transmission is automatic. There are full headers --no exhaust leaks-- to enhance your muscle car experience. The headers exit through flowmaster mufflers and a 2 1/2" exhaust. It drives nice and straight, and the brakes work fine. Wipers, heater, lights all work. The only thing I have noticed is that the left turn signal light sometimes stays on inside of the car --minor annoyance... Occasionally there is a small--very small leak on the garage floor --not much and not very often.

I have tried to explain everything about this classic honestly. Is it a show car? No. Is it a head-turning, fun to drive, reliable cruiser? Absolutely!! I honestly don't think you will find a Skylark, Cutlass, Chevelle, GTO, or LeMans Convertible in these years that is in anything close to this condition for this price. If you do, you should buy it. A little work could easily make her into a show car.

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO. I have tried to show everything. See for yourself:

My reserve is VERY LOW on this car  . As always...cash talks...but this is a GREAT CAR AT THIS PRICE!!!   Again, look at what these are selling for and compare the condition.

If you are interested in this car, I strongly suggest the Buy-It-Now option so you do not miss out on it.   You will not be disappointed!!!

It will sell.

 IF YOU SEE AND DRIVE THIS CAR, YOU WILL BUY IT !!!

CASH ONLY !!! NO CHECKS WHATSOEVER !!! CASH ONLY !!!

I might consider an INTERESTING trade. I would ask that if you want to trade something, please email me a picture and info first. I would rather not have 150 calls about trades I am not interested in.

Feel free to email or call me at:

630-556-3955

or

630-709-3955 (cell)

Again there is a VIDEO of this car which shows EVERYTHING !!! Click this link:

 I have a clean and clear IL title in hand for this car.  Yes, it is in my name --perfectly legal in all ways.  And, yes, I am a private seller.

I do require a $200 deposit upon auction's end.  Full payment is required within 7 days of auction's end or the car will be re-listed.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I allow the car to leave my property until full payment is received and cleared.  If you want to arrange shipping, you must do so yourself and do not expect the car to leave my house until Full Payment has Completely Cleared.

 

PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH FULL CONFIDENCE !!!   100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK !!!

 





 I am located 35 miles west of Chicago, 5 minutes off of I-88, 2 miles from the Aurora Airport -- Very easy to get to...

2021 Buick Envision order guide shows $32,995 base price

Sun, Aug 23 2020

Based on an early dealer guide Cars Direct got its hands on, the 2021 Buick Envision will bring more to the market than handsome new design inside and out. The 2020 Envision in 1SV and Preferred trims starts at $33,500 plus a $1,195 destination charge, totaling $34,695. The dealer guide shows the 2021 Envision Preferred starting at $32,995 after destination, a $1,700 cut compared to this year's model. The 1SV was also listed in the guide but didn't get a price. A Buick spokesperson confirmed to Cars Direct that the Preferred trim will be the new entry-level, so it appears the 1SV could go away. The two trims are equipped the same as standard, the difference being that Preferred opens up the options menu to features like the Active Package and a powered panoramic moonroof. That pricing puts the 2021 Envision thousands of dollars under of its luxury competitors like the Acura RDX, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, and Lincoln Corsair. The price of the middle Essence trim doesn't change, at $36,995 after destination.   The current Premium trim will be replaced by the Avenir trim. At present, the Premium trim only comes in all-wheel drive, which Buick has changed for the 2021 model year. A 2021 Envision Avenir with front-wheel drive will start at $41,395, which is $500 less than a 2020 Envision Premium with all-wheel drive. Adding power to the rear axle adds $1,800 to the price, the Envision Avenir AWD the most expensive model at $43,195. That's a $1,600 cut compared to the 2020 Envision Premium AWD. The only engine on offer will be a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, the same engine in the 2021 Envision's E2 platform-mate, the Cadillac XT4. That output falls between the two engines that can be had on the 2020 Envision, either the base 2.5-liter four with 197 hp and 192 lb-ft, or an optional 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 hp and 295 lb-ft.  Related Video:

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.

2014 Buick Regal GS AWD

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
