1969 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe Highly Optioned on 2040-cars
Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
This is for a 49,000 original miles unmolested classic car. I got the car from California and am the third titled owner. The car was originally Poly Green with a metallic green interior. It has an older White color change (the only change from being stock). Split bench front seat. 350-4 engine and automatic on the column. Many options, Options included dash clock, speed alarm, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, tilt column, lighted rear view mirror.
This car is a true survivor and has not been modified other than dual exhaust and color change. It's as original as you can find. Body: All floor boards and trunk are supper solid with no rust holes or weak spots. Body is very solid with some spots of rust just starting. The paint looks good but is showing some wear. There are some pitting and small holes at bottom corners of rear glass, some left rear quarter panel and driver side rear tire housing bubbles (nothing serious and not rotted out). Nicks and scratches. Looks great for a driver and gets looks everywhere but not showroom condition. All glass is good. Exterior: Tires are good. Ralley rims in good condition but could use cleaning and possible freshen up the black paint. All stock (not cheap after market) center caps included. Great front chrome fender, rear chrome fender is straight but has a rust spots and could use rechroming. Rear wheel well trim and rear quarter panel chrome trim is missing. Interior: Great dash, headliner and seats. Carpet is torn by passenger foot area, rear package tray is weathered from the dry dessert. Door panels are good but arm rests could look better if replaced. Rear side panels show aging. Two dome lights in the rear, one is missing. Radio is 100% original but not working. I have an untested spare I bought. Clock is not working, front power seat motor is not working. a/c need charge has slow leak somewhere. I have not looked into the clock and front seat to see if its a simple fix or what. Mechanical: Everything has been inspected by two different shops. Anything needing repair was replaced. Many new gaskets installed. Starts, stops and shift like it suppose to. Here is a list of new or newer parts and service: Battery; rear coils; shocks; brake lines; suspension parts; brakes; fuel pump; tune up serviceable parts; new dual exhaust off stock manifolds with performance mufflers and many other parts. I have at least 5 years of all maintenance records and receipts. Does have one lifter that ticks that was checked out. They said it was a little worn due to type of oil used but not serious enough to fix. This is a very nice smooth running car. No trailer needed. I would not hesitate to drive this cross country! You can save on shipping with this one! Will entertain trades of equal or better value. I'm selling it because I have two 69 skylarks. I've disclosed everthing I can think about. Please ask questions. This said, this car is 45 years old and is being sold as-is. Please text questions to Jim 815-482-0732 |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
