1969 Buick Skylark from Fla.showing less than 12,000  miles. 

(last owner claimed correct mileage but being sold as un documented)


As you can see the average resale price for this car is over 14k as a   number # 3/ Average and with the GS cloned being over 17k. 

This car is in a solid # 3 condition and I can supply the insurance valuation and also the replacement value.


The drive-train appears to be totally original with a dual exhaust that was added to the 350 V8. It was originally 230 HP and now is closer to 250 HP.

It comes with the GS rims that are on it and the original Hubcaps and all the original glovebox documentation. You could take this to a GS 350 level with a hood and air cleaner. This year GS 350 had bench seat not buckets as the GS 400 had.


We really don’t know the history but we were told that this car came out of a collection outside of buffalo n.y. It has been stored in a heated garage for the last 16 years and started and run every month. 

I actually went thru the car and it has good wheel cylinders.brakes, tuneup, fan belts, battery, plug wire, tires, radio works so do all the lights and it is clean! Drives good and it doesn't shake rattle and roll.


Exterior 

The car is finished in what is proposed to be its original color on the exterior (12 years ago) and looks good with the coat of wax on it. It does have the usual nicks and a couple of bubbles at the drivers door. On pass rear quarter there are some outward pin dents from jack i think(see pictures)I haven’t really looked this over as well as I usually do because I didn’t pick this car out. The paint took wax good and will be sufficient, till you decide to paint it again.  The Buick appears to have new or re- chromed bumpers and trim. It is not a perfect car but it is a good driver quality. There are 3 bumps on the pass quarter that look to be caused by the jack in the trunk ( please look at pictures)


Interior

It does have a PPG replacement seat covers and door panels but the rear seat armrest are still original and need to be replaced or stained. They are in good shape but are not the bright white the rest of the interior is(see pictures). All the gauges work except the lighter and it needs to be replaced. The radio dials are missing and I am looking for them.The radio works fine.

The Buick has seatbelts and carpet and they are in good shape. 

The top is electric and works well, It needs a little help when it is being raised from the down position and has the cover.


Trunk / Engine

Trunk has been sprayed with splatter paint and has Jack and spare in place.

Engine has a tuneup, oil change and the following new parts as told by the previous owner.

New aluminum radiator

New water-pump

New power top (Original color and design) that works great

Newer radial tires

Newer brakes


This 69 Buick Skylark Convertible Is in average condition but is solid enough to take to the next level. It has decent bones and you will have fun driving it. 

Again we are selling at # 3 driver condition.

 So bid to own.

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
