1971 Buick Skylark Convertible Custom on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
|
Miles: 92,389 Pros: Power windows for all four. CD player Original rag top still works Crager rims Original leather interior Body is smooth and the paint has only a few dings from other cars kicking rocks up. It's blue. That's a pretty blue, even you've got to admit that. Cons: Heat disconnected (honestly, I'm located in Florida, does anyone really need that?) A/C needs new tubing in order to work Speedometer needle fell off some mold on ragtop (Can be resolved via top bleaching) Rust due to salt in the air. Rust in the trunk Drivers seat has a small stain in the shape of a square. I can provide pictures if asked. Beside the speed gage there is a blacked out circle for some ungodly reason. Previous owner said the man before him blacked it out. I'll never know why and it will plague me for the rest of time. Really important things: Engine issues and would personally consider it a project car. It is still able to be driven around for small things but not for long distance. I do not take it on the freeway as it cannot maintain 70mph without backfiring. Mechanic checked it was an oil pressure problem and I was unaware of this issue until recently. This is, unfortunately, a problem from the previous owner. I had been told that the oil pressure gage was simply not working. The buyer would be responsible for arranging pickup and shipping if need be. For payment, the rest of the money paid after the deposit will be cash in person or via paypal. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.
