1967 Buick Skylark Convertible 455 V8 P/b P/s 400 Turbo Trans Gs Tribute on 2040-cars
Redding, California, United States

I am selling my friends 1967 Buick Skylark convertible. This is a regular convertible that has been given a GS treatment in the late 90's early 2000's.
Here is what my friend says about the car; 1967 Buick Skylark Convertible Pros: 455 (it’s fast) New Edelbrock carburetor Front disc brakes Front & rear sway bars New high efficiency radiator New fuel pump New starter motor Premium dual exhaust Bucket seats Floor shift Runs well Clean DMV Cons: straight body with relativly small paint damage convertible does not work (motors missing)…tear in the top near rear window (outside tear only) exhaust manifold gaskets leaking maybe needs new master cylinder…(brakes take a few mins to respond well after car warms up, but after that, just fine) gas gauge does not work window cranks and door handles are temperamental Now my take on the car; I have been a passenger in the car many times and have driven it a few times. It seems to have all the GO you would need. The car runs well and gets looks where ever you take it. No shortage of people that want to go for a ride in it. My take on the fit and finish of the car. It was painted and refreshed in the late 90's early 2000's and turned into it's current form. It was given a rebuilt 455, paint and interior. The bucket seats were sourced from a GS and all were recovered. The car was only driven for about 8 months then put into a garage for the winter and was not brought out the next year. I went and helped my friend pick up the car from his dad's house in 2012. We put a battery and some fresh fuel in it and it fired up and I drove it onto my trailer. Since then it has had the new parts replaced you see above. The paint is about a 7. It is presentable, but there are flaws. Probably the biggest is on the hood where there was a carburetor fire at one time(that is why there is a new carb! and fuel lines), but 95% of people that look at the car would not notice it. The body is solid and rust free. There are small dents and dings, but again, a very presentable 10 footer. The car spent about a week at an auto electric shop getting the wiring sorted out, but somehow the fuel gauge still does not work. I do know that the sending unit was replaced as well. Still no bueno on the fuel gauge. The interior could use a good cleaning. The white seats easily show dirt and they need to be vigorously cleaned. The chrome on the car is fair. Both the front and rear bumpers have pitting in spots and will need to be re-plated at some point in the future. The stainless trim is in excellent condition. The tires have like new tread on them. They are older, but the car has always been in a garage so there is no cracking on the sidewalls. The convertible top is also white and in need of a good cleaning. There is one small tear/rip that I don't think will be much of a problem in inclement weather as it is only the outer layer and is not very big. Most of the time you will have the top down anyway! There is also a top boot cover that is white. Again, this will need to be cleaned as it is not as white as it could be. I am not an expert on these cars, but I think that they did what was needed to make this a nice 455 GS tribute. If you have any questions please email me through eBay. Delivery to the Bay Area and Southern California shippers is available. Also, you will be paying the owner directly. I am just listing this for him. The good faith deposit will be returned when payment for the car is made. On Feb-16-14 at 19:33:40 PST, seller added the following information: I was looking up the production/vin number/codes for this car; 4 = Buick 44= Skylark V-8 67=2 door convertible coupe 7=1967 H= Flint Michigan 127532 =production number 100001 first of the model year I will get a picture of the body plate and post/decode that as well. On Feb-18-14 at 08:44:12 PST, seller added the following information:The body tag has the following; GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION / 10A / ST 67-44467FL1 39253 BODY / TR 185-A K-2 PAINT / W 2X / 4FC 5KY (COULD BE SKY) / BODY BY FISHER From what I found; ST Style is 2 door convertible Body was built in Flint MI. TR Trim is Black either Vinyl or Cloth Paint K is Aquamarine So it is a color change, but you would never know it. Any more questions let me know. This would not let me ad this like it appears in rows from top to bottom on the plate. Where ever this is a / that indicates all that is on that line of the data plate. |

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As 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.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
