I have decided to sell my BEAUTIFUL 1972 Buick Skylark Convertible. I have owned this car for about a year and have had my fun so it's time for something else. The previous owner had the car for over 10 years. I am in my 50's and the previous owner was in his 40's. The car has not been beaten up.
This car is in VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION !!!
The odometer reads 75,990 miles. The car came from the factory without air conditioning.
The Skylark is blue with a black top and white interior (black carpet). The original color was orange. The body is very solid with only a few minor rust bubbles in the paint. The body is very, very solid for a classic in this area. Bring a magnet and you won't be disappointed. The paint looks reasonably good. There are a few chips in the paint and a light scratch on the trunk lid. The driver's door has a fairly large chip under the handle. The chrome should probably be redone as it doesn't shine like it should. Tail lenses could be replaced as well. The trunk is extremely solid. Unfortunately the previous owner removed the weather stripping between the windows and couldn't find it. So, it will need that. Some trim pieces are worn.
The white interior is in good shape. There are some tears at the bottom of the interior doors. The carpet, dash and glass look good.
The top is in very good shape also. There is only one small tear on the drivers side behind the back window --smaller than a dime. The convertible top goes up and down like it should. I did have to add a small amount of fluid this spring, There is a slight leak so it will have to be topped off from time to time. There is a white parade boot, but I couldn't figure it out, so I just drive without it.
Mechanically, I would trust this car to DRIVE ANYWHERE!! The engine is a 350 and I believe it to be the ORIGINAL ENGINE. I checked the numbers and they are correct. It always starts and sounds very mean. The transmission is automatic. There are full headers --no exhaust leaks-- to enhance your muscle car experience. The headers exit through flowmaster mufflers and a 2 1/2" exhaust. It drives nice and straight, and the brakes work fine. Wipers, heater, lights all work. The only thing I have noticed is that the left turn signal light sometimes stays on inside of the car --minor annoyance... Occasionally there is a small--very small leak on the garage floor --not much and not very often.
I have tried to explain everything about this classic honestly. Is it a show car? No. Is it a head-turning, fun to drive, reliable cruiser? Absolutely!! I honestly don't think you will find a Skylark, Cutlass, Chevelle, GTO, or LeMans Convertible in these years that is in anything close to this condition for this price. If you do, you should buy it. A little work could easily make her into a show car.
PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO. I have tried to show everything. See for yourself:

My reserve is VERY LOW on this car . As always...cash talks...but this is a GREAT CAR AT THIS PRICE!!! Again, look at what these are selling for and compare the condition.
If you are interested in this car, I strongly suggest the Buy-It-Now option so you do not miss out on it. You will not be disappointed!!!
It will sell.
IF YOU SEE AND DRIVE THIS CAR, YOU WILL BUY IT !!!
CASH ONLY !!! NO CHECKS WHATSOEVER !!! CASH ONLY !!!
I might consider an INTERESTING trade. I would ask that if you want to trade something, please email me a picture and info first. I would rather not have 150 calls about trades I am not interested in.
Feel free to email or call me at:
630-556-3955
or
630-709-3955 (cell)
Again there is a VIDEO of this car which shows EVERYTHING !!! Click this link:
http://youtu.be/KQxHVWZpwqk
I have a clean and clear IL title in hand for this car. Yes, it is in my name --perfectly legal in all ways. And, yes, I am a private seller.
I do require a $200 deposit upon auction's end. Full payment is required within 7 days of auction's end or the car will be re-listed.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I allow the car to leave my property until full payment is received and cleared. If you want to arrange shipping, you must do so yourself and do not expect the car to leave my house until Full Payment has Completely Cleared.
PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH FULL CONFIDENCE !!! 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK !!!
I am located 35 miles west of Chicago, 5 minutes off of I-88, 2 miles from the Aurora Airport -- Very easy to get to...

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
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.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
