Up for your consideration is a 1972 Buick Skylark Custom. This nice looking Skylark belongs to a friend of mine who buys a lot off E-bay but he has never sold anything, so he asked me if I would. He is the second owner of the vehicle, he bought it over a year ago from one of the original family members who bought it new here in Atlanta in 1972, he has the paperwork to prove that. He began the process of restoring it while he drove it. It has a new top with a glass rear window, new carpet, and a fresh paint job. This is the original color, Sunburst Yellow, but my friend decided to have real metal flake put in the paint so that it sparkles in the sun. I tried to take some pictures up close so you could see the metal flake. This is an all original car except, from what my friend was told by the original owner, they had replaced the original motor with a '72 350 motor from another Skylark that had lower mileage. The car starts and seems to run fine after it warms up. There is no smoke or clatter or any engine noise. I took it out for a cruise yesterday and it seemed to run fine. It would hesitate a couple of times on acceleration but would clear up after about 30-40 MPH and ran fine. All the windows worked fine a week ago, but when I came back home from my cruise yesterday, the front passenger window did not go up, probably a switch and I will do my best to get it checked out this week. The only other issue that I have found with the car is that one of the brakes seems to grab harder than the other. If you hit the brakes quickly it wants to pull to the right but all the brakes are working. My guess is that there is a caliper sticking, having not been driven much in recent months. This is a southern car, so rust is not an issue, the doors are solids, the quarter panels are solid. I took everything out of the trunk so that you could hopefully see that the trunk floor pans are solid. There are some small pinholes in the trunk pans but this is where water had gotten into the trunk, nothing serious. The electric top works fine and closes securely. The interior is in good shape as you can see from the pictures. It is missing the passenger side sun visor, but an easy fix, it is also missing the belt on the air conditioner but is otherwise intact. This is a great looking convertible that you could drive while you finish the restoration. My friends situation has changed and needs to sell this car and is putting a reasonable reserve on it so that it will sell. Because of the age of the car, it is being sold "as is" with no warranty implied or stated. If you need the car shipped, I will be glad to deliver it to the shipper if you make the arrangements and the car is paid for. Please ask all your questions before bidding and please only bid if you intent to purchase the car. I will do my best to respond to your questions as quickly as I can. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit to be paid within 48 hours of the auction end and you can contact me in regards to the balance. Thanks for your interest and have a great day.

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
Buick Velite 6 to come in PHEV, electric versions for China
Wed, Apr 18 2018In addition to the all-electric Enspire crossover concept revealed this week ahead of the Beijing Auto Show, Buick is adding a new production variant to its Velite series of electrified vehicles for China. It's called the Velite 6, a plug-in hybrid that will launch this year in Buick's largest market. A full-electric version, shown in the lead photo above at right, is coming later. Buick already sells a vehicle called a Velite 5 in China, which is essentially a rebadged Chevrolet Volt, only with a higher electric-only driving range. This one is based on the Velite concept PHEV introduced in late 2016 at Auto Guangzhou. The PHEV and battery-electric versions look nearly identical, with a wide stance, plenty of creases and a hatchback design that bears some similarities to the longer 2018 Regal TourX wagon. The Velite 6 uses two AC permanent-magnet synchronous motors, a lithium-ion battery and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder combustion engine. Buick says combined gas-electric driving range is 435 miles, which is 15 miles greater than the Volt. Buick will assemble what it calls the "new-generation" ternary battery pack at its new SAIC-GM Power Battery Development Center in Shanghai. The company says the Velite 6 electric vehicle "will adopt a new-generation pure electric drive system to offer customers a smooth, quiet and natural driving experience." Both models get the cloud-based Buick eConnect technology, which allows over-the-air software updates, real-time integration with China's WeChat social media network, and other digital perks. Owners will also be able to use their smartphone as the vehicle's key, and they can also authorize others to use the car through their phones. China has long been Buick's largest market, with more than 1.18 million vehicles sold in 2017 compared to just 219,231 in the U.S., and the country has established aggressive mandates for production of electric vehicles. GM has plans to add 20 new electric and fuel-cell vehicles globally by 2023. Related Video:
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
