1972 Buick Skylark Custom convertible. Winning bidder will receive car as shown with 455 engine, also the original 350 4-bbl engine, original steel wheels and hubcaps.

Enjoy a GM A-Body CONVERTIBLE with big block engine at a fraction of the cost of a Chevelle, SS 454, SS 396, GTO, GS, or 442.

I purchased this car from the original owner 3 years ago. I drove the car in its original condition for about a month and then sourced and built a Buick 455 engine. I had a Maaco paint job done and then installed the 455. It's been my daily driver ever since. In that time I have done some performance enhancements including installing a posi, shift kit, shift point kit, Edelbrock AVS 800 carb, wheels/tires, Pertronix electronic ignition, etc. I also replaced the convertible top last summer. This car has power windows, tilt wheel, working A/C, power top (works perfectly, no leaks), power steering, power front-disk brakes, map light, auto-trans, posi rear end, working windshield washers, 2 1/2" dual exhaust. I've replaced the brake booster, front brakes, radiator, voltage regulator (external).

This is a nice driving car. Very smooth, very powerful, and really enjoyable with the top down. I've owned a 396 Chevelle before but I'd take this Buick in a second. Not only does it have more power than the Chevelle did but it's just more enjoyable due to the features. Steering wheel turns with one finger, very good brakes, huge low-end torque, working A/C, power windows. It's really the best of both worlds of having a classic car but with modern conveniences. The wheels are really nice looking "American Racing" wheels with Radial T/A tires in good shape. I also have a tach and some gauges installed. It has an electric choke and Pertronix electronic ignition.

The engine is from a 73 Buick Electra. I had the machine shop bore it .030, and it has a multi-angle valve job with Comp Cams springs. Engine includes Sealed Power hypereutectic 9.5 pistons, Comp Cams 268 cam (I have the spec sheet), Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock AVS 800 carb with electic choke, high flow mechanical fuel pump. I have pictures documenting the entire build.

This car is not perfect by any means so let me lay out the problems. The car frame is perfect (fully boxed due to convertible) and the body is decent. However, there is some rust in the usual locations for this type car. I've done my best to show them in my pictures. I just didn't have the money to afford a really good paint job at the time and the job Maaco did was pretty typical. Not awful but not perfect. The upolstery is in need of replacement or re-covering. The vinyl material is getting more stiff/brittle and cracks are in the driver seat and some of the rear seat. And yes, that's a child car seat in back. Used to have two of them in fact. The trunk floor is solid but it had a "protective" mat for years and it trapped moisture enough to cause the surface rust you can see in the picture. But it is solid. Just surface rust. These are the major things wrong with the car but if you have questions let me know. Mileage show on odometer and ad is not accurate. True mileage of car unknown. Engine has about 15K to 20K miles on it since it was built.

The winning bidder will receive the car as shown and also the ORIGINAL 350 4-bbl Buick engine, the original steel wheels and perfect hubcaps. The 350 is a good running engine and, will fire up without issue if prepped with points, wires, etc.

I'm saddened to sell the car but I have other priorities I must place ahead of it. For this reason, I'm listing this car with no reserve. Car will sell to the winning bidder. Very low starting bid to get the ball rolling. NO RESERVE.

Please email me if you have questions or wish to receive additional pictures.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.

Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
