IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION..IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE BUT HAS IMPORTANT INFO IN IT...after reading, please feel free to call or email questions...

This is a "running" 1971 Buick Skylark 2 door w/ 350 2bbl V8, auto, I say "running" because it starts and drives, but leaks ATF from the front seal of the trans. You can drive it for a test drive, probably even 10+ miles but it drips constantly so eventually you'd run out of ATF or have to keep filling it up. THEREFORE I cannot reccomend driving it home, should be transported. Engine runs fine, smooth, no smoke.

I expect this car would be a good candidate for a GS clone restoral project. Very low rust ( for its age ) and the rust that is there is mostly surface rust, on the outside of the body, not rusting thru from the inside.

No structural rust, frame is solid. This has been repainted and that paint is dead now also, but the body is basically straight and worthy of saving ( not like all the rusted out hulks from back east! ) The carb is new, battery good, starts right up.No AC. The interior is really excellent and even though I don't care for the fabric style, it's VERY nice inside. Re cover the seats w/ blue ( correct ) vinyl and you've got a real nice interior!

NOW THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART!

I bought this car as you see it. I bought it to "steal" parts from it to finish my real GS. So I took the following parts off and you will get what is described below:

I kept the aftermarket wheels and tires- YOU GET the stock steel wheels and very good 14 inch tires shown seperately in a photo. The stock wheels hold air fine and will be installed before pickup.

I kept the front and rear bumpers, YOU GET my 72 rear ( the kind that has the rubber strips ) stock bumper in very good condition. YOU GET my bent stock front bumper ( for a core? ) although it will be loose from the car. I KEPT the steel radiator top cover ( you get my wrinkled one ) the hood latch and support ( my latch is good but the support bracket is no good ) YOU GET my old parts in case you can use them. Hood will be lashed down with a motorcycle type strap for test drives and transport. I kept the fan shroud, mine was destroyed so you will need another one.

That's about it! I took the photos before I removed the bumpers so you can see that it was not wrecked, so when you put it back together it will fit perfectly..NO SIGN of previous wreck / damage.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS, please feel free to call or e mail. Stu 619-315-8428

Thanks!

A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Earlier 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.
