1972 Buick Skylark Suncoupe, 79k Original Miles, Original Paint, Lifetime Fl Car on 2040-cars
Sarasota, Florida, United States
|
UP FOR BIDS IS PROBABLY THE NICEST ORIGINAL CONDITION 1972 BUICK SKYLARK SUNCOUPE IN EXISTENCE. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW THE SUNCOUPE IS A VERY RARE CAR SPORTING A VINYL ACCORDIAN TYPE FULL SUNROOF; THERE WERE LESS THAN 3500 PRODUCED.
IT IS A LIFETIME FLORIDA CAR WITH NO RUST AND STILL SPORTING ITS FACTORY ORIGINAL SANDALWOOD (BEIGE) PAINT AND WHITE VINYL INTERIOR, BOTH IN GOOD CONDITION. IT PRESENTLY SHOWS 79,950 MILES AND COMES WITH A CLEAR FLORIDA "ACTUAL MILEAGE" TITLE, AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THIS IS INCORRECT. THE BROWN VINYL TOP AND SUNCOUPE SLIDING TOP WERE REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO DUE TO SHRINKAGE FROM THE FLORIDA SUN. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST UNDER THE ORIGINAL VINYL TOP, ALMOST UNHEARD OF FOR THESE GM A-BODY CARS. THE RENOWNED MIKES AUTO TRIM HERE IN SARASOTA DID THE TOP REPLACEMENT. THE CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY AND SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. THERE IS A SLIGHT TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAK WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT SEALS RIGHT UP UPON USE OF THE CAR. I DID ADD ELECTRONIC IGNITION A FEW YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE ADDED PERFORMANCE.
I HAVE SIX BUICK SKYLARKS AND THIS IS THE BEST CONSISTENT RUNNER. THE BATTERY IS NEW AS WELL AS THE FIRESTONE RADIAL TIRES MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL SPORT WHEELS. THE FACTORY DISC BRAKES HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEM AND STOP WELL. ALSO, THE CARBURATOR HAS BEEN RECENTLY REBUILT. THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS THINNING IN PLACES ESPECIALLY AROUND THE TRUNK KEY AND IN BACK OF THE VINYL TOP AND IT DOES HAVE THE USUAL DINGS AND SCRATCHES EXPECTED ON A 41 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ORIGINAL PAINT. THE ORIGINAL BROWN SUNCOUPE STRIPES ARE ALSO THINNING BEHIIND THE TOP. THE R-134 CONVERTED AC BLOWS COLD AND THE ORIGINAL AM/FM WORKS WELL BUT ONLY THRU THE REAR SPEAKER. SOMEONE DID DISONNECT THE HEATER CORE YEARS AGO BUT THIS HASN'T BEEN A CONCERN FOR THIS FLORIDA CAR. THE INTERIOR HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS, THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL ARE CRACK FREE, THE BLACK CLOTH HEADLINER IS NEAR PERFECT, AND THE BLACK ORIGINAL CARPET IS PRETTY GOOD, ALTHOUGH THINNING UNDER THE GREAT CONDITION ORIGINAL BUICK MATS. THERE IS WEAR ON THE DRIVERS BOTTOM SEAT CORDING AND THE HARD BACKS OF THE BUCKET SEATS ARE FLAKING FROM AGE. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THESE A-BODY BUCKETS. THE REASON I AM SELLING THE CAR IS I RECENTLY ACQUIRED AN ORIGINAL FAMILY OWNED SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE THAT HAS SENTIMENTAL VALUE AND I NEED THE GARAGE SPACE FOR IT.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AND TO INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE BIDDING. MY PHONE NUMBER IS 941-953-9565. THE CAR IS AT MY HOME AND READY FOR INSPECTION. GOOD LUCK BIDDING. THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO OWN SUCH AN ORIGINAL WELL CARED FOR SUNCOUPE, ESPECIALLY THIS WELL EQUIPPED. |

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
2013 Buick Enclave
Mon, 29 Oct 2012GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.
Buick reveals new Verano in Shanghai
Mon, Apr 20 2015The lion's share of the new vehicles being showcased at the Shanghai Motor Show this week may never make their way to US showrooms. But Americans will surely want to note the unveiling of the all-new Buick Verano. The current compact sedan in the Buick lineup arrived in 2011, and is now preparing to enter its second generation with the model you see here. Details are the only element more scarce than photos (GM has released one thus far), but we can see that the new Verano adopts more dynamic styling than the model it replaces. The design borrows elements from the Riviera and Avenir concepts, with a more steeply raked windshield and rear glass said to give the new Verano a more elongated look (and lower drag coefficient) than its compact footprint would dictate. Up front you'll see Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by HID xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and taillamps. Motivation comes courtesy of a 1.5-liter turbocharged Ecotec four, driving 166 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque through a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 17-inch wheels are shod with Continental rubber. Just how many of these specifications will remain relevant when the new Verano reaches Buick dealers on this side of the Pacific remains to be seen, but for now you can delve into the full press release below.

It will be appearing on Shanghai GM's stand at Auto Shanghai 2015, which starts tomorrow. The brand's latest entry in the mid-range passenger car segment has a stylish exterior, class-leading fuel efficiency and precise handling. The Verano is targeted at individuals who value a personal and dynamic driving experience. Design inspired by Buick Riviera and Avenir concept cars The Verano was inspired by the new Buick Riviera concept car, which premiered in 2013, and captures the design essence of the Buick Avenir concept car, which debuted at this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It represents an innovative interpretation of Buick's classic styling while exemplifying the elegance and dynamism of Buick's new-generation products.
