1969 Buick Skylark Custom Coupe Highly Optioned on 2040-cars
Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
This is for a 49,000 original miles unmolested classic car. I got the car from California and am the third titled owner. The car was originally Poly Green with a metallic green interior. It has an older White color change (the only change from being stock). Split bench front seat. 350-4 engine and automatic on the column. Many options, Options included dash clock, speed alarm, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, tilt column, lighted rear view mirror.
This car is a true survivor and has not been modified other than dual exhaust and color change. It's as original as you can find. Body: All floor boards and trunk are supper solid with no rust holes or weak spots. Body is very solid with some spots of rust just starting. The paint looks good but is showing some wear. There are some pitting and small holes at bottom corners of rear glass, some left rear quarter panel and driver side rear tire housing bubbles (nothing serious and not rotted out). Nicks and scratches. Looks great for a driver and gets looks everywhere but not showroom condition. All glass is good. Exterior: Tires are good. Ralley rims in good condition but could use cleaning and possible freshen up the black paint. All stock (not cheap after market) center caps included. Great front chrome fender, rear chrome fender is straight but has a rust spots and could use rechroming. Rear wheel well trim and rear quarter panel chrome trim is missing. Interior: Great dash, headliner and seats. Carpet is torn by passenger foot area, rear package tray is weathered from the dry dessert. Door panels are good but arm rests could look better if replaced. Rear side panels show aging. Two dome lights in the rear, one is missing. Radio is 100% original but not working. I have an untested spare I bought. Clock is not working, front power seat motor is not working. a/c need charge has slow leak somewhere. I have not looked into the clock and front seat to see if its a simple fix or what. Mechanical: Everything has been inspected by two different shops. Anything needing repair was replaced. Many new gaskets installed. Starts, stops and shift like it suppose to. Here is a list of new or newer parts and service: Battery; rear coils; shocks; brake lines; suspension parts; brakes; fuel pump; tune up serviceable parts; new dual exhaust off stock manifolds with performance mufflers and many other parts. I have at least 5 years of all maintenance records and receipts. Does have one lifter that ticks that was checked out. They said it was a little worn due to type of oil used but not serious enough to fix. This is a very nice smooth running car. No trailer needed. I would not hesitate to drive this cross country! You can save on shipping with this one! Will entertain trades of equal or better value. I'm selling it because I have two 69 skylarks. I've disclosed everthing I can think about. Please ask questions. This said, this car is 45 years old and is being sold as-is. Please text questions to Jim 815-482-0732 |

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
