1965 Buick Skylark Sad to say I have to sell my 1965 Buick Skylark in order to buy a house. I started this car three years ago and have over $43,000 into this car. It was a frame on restoration. 1965 Buick Skylark with a new Chevy 454 complete Roller motor with Demon 950 carb and dyno'd at 426 to rear wheels. Cam is a custom grind by Lumanati and car has a mean sound to it. Trans is a TH400 just rebuilt with shift kit. Custom cut driveshaft. Car has power steering and heat. Radiator is 3 weeks old by Griffon with built in dual electric fans and just paid $1476 for this set up. Gas tank was replaced along with sending unit. Painless Wiring harness throughout the car. Car is lowered 2" with lowering springs and air bags in rear and lowering springs and drop spindles in the front. Front has tubular upper and lower control arms along with power disc brake conversion. The interior is all brand new as of this season. Car was painted Candy Gold this past year and there is no rot or rust in this car. Over winter I put in an Eaton Posi traction rear end with 3:73 gears and B&M ratchet shifter. Wheels and tires are Boss 18" and are only 6 months old. Front fenders were rolled so it would not rub. Exhaust is all new headers 2 years ago and header back is last year with two dual chamber Flomasters. Just added electric cutouts 2 months ago for $750 for that open header sound when pulling into the car shows. I have a 4" thick folder of receipts and warranties that come with the car. I know I'm forgetting all sorts of things but this is a very nice car for a fraction of the money. Front and rear bumpers were just rechromed. Have a bunch of spare parts that go with the car too. Have any questions ask away. Motivated Seller. Make offers |

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
