Up for auction is a 1971 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible project car. Just an FYI,this is a Connecticut vehicle and it comes with a transferable bill of sale/ official Connecticut registration.There is no title issued in the state of Connecticut for cars that are older than 1980.Check your own requirements for your state before you bid. Now,to describe the car to best of my ability. The floors and frame are in very good shape.There are no repairs to the frame that I can see.Assume the body has filler.It has a basecoat/clearcoat paint job that the last owner had done.It is driver quality at best and it has not been wet sanded.The jambs,trunk,etc. all match the exterior color.There is no visible rust on the body panels.The driver's door will need pins and bushings,as it does sag.Passenger door is fine.The back window is plastic and it is cracked/broken.What you see in the pictures is just some material used to cover it up and to keep out the elements.There is also a small split in the top on the passenger side.The convertible top motor works fine,but the cylinders are leaky and are disconnected.The top goes up and down manually just fine. It has a strong running Buick 350 2bbl (even the choke works) with a stock style dual exhaust.The motor appears to have been rebuilt as it very clean inside and outside as well.It also has an HEI distributor.Has power steering and power brakes.Trans is a TH350 that shifts just fine and the kickdown works as well.
The interior is not too bad.Dashpad has no cracks and the seats,front/rear door panels and carpet are in good shape.I have the lower rear "door" panels for the backseat but they are not in the best of shape.They have been cut for speakers and the material is coming off.
Gas gauge,horn and wipers do not work along with a few misc. bulbs.This is a project car that runs,drives and stops well.I would really like someone to see the car in person so there is no confusion.My reserve is reasonable.Hagerty values this car at $6100 for a #4 condition. (5 being the worst/parts car) I can assure that is not the reserve.you can reach me at 203-464-730 two if you have any questions.I do have some rocker moldings that will go with the car.I do not have any of the other trim.
Car is sold as is,where is.No warranties impressed or implied.Not responsible for differences in opinion/description. $200 non refundable deposit due upon auctions end.Balance to be paid in cash or local bank check.Can store car for up to 10 days from auctions end unless previous arrangements are made.I have described the car to the best of my ability.Can be viewed at anytime via appointment.

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.
Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
