Buick Skylark was the top of the line model, a factory sport V8 car with AT,
full power steering & power brakes. This car has been fully redone &
upgraded running gear with a 1969 Chevrolet (Camaro/Chevelle SS/Corvette) L-48 High Performance style built 350 V8 coupled
to the noted Turbo 350 3-speed Automatic transmission: This vintage 350 Chevy V8
was noted for durability and high performance with a 4-bolt main & factory
10.25:1 compression. It was factory under-rated at 300 horse & 380 ft-lbs
of torque. The 350 V8 was built with modern performance additions
such as the aluminum Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake & Edelbrock 4V carb, full
Accell HP electronic ignition system & Accell high energy spark wires, low
drag lightweight cooling fan & aluminum racing radiator. The engine is
equipped with custom headers and a free flow dual exhaust… giving horsepower estimates now well over 360++
horse. This 350 V8 is equipped with tall
polished aluminum valve covers and an aluminum air filter. Under the hood you
will see newer alternator & wide belts, new hoses, battery & more. The resto-mod also includes a removable face CD
player in the dash, hidden behind a factory radio delete panel. A few of the photos
the panel was removed to show the CD radio & speaker system. This is an
estate sale and I am helping the widow move this striking vintage muscle car on
to a lucky new owner. As such, I do not have full history, but being a classic
car collector I can honestly say someone is going to get one heck of a classic muscle
car in impressive condition & running strong… a true head turner that you
can hear coming your way. SHOW
& GO!!
The car runs strong and
drives well! It sounds awesome! It has a free flow exhaust and coupled with the
headers sounds impressive…. as good as it looks! I broke the rear wheels loose
and burned rubber on my first test run without actually trying. An investment quality vehicle
you can have fun with… for weekend fun or show! TERMS OF SALE: Any vintage

Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
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.
2013 Buick Encore
Mon, 10 Dec 2012City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
