For sale is my Pro-Street 1971 Buick Skylark that's tastefully dressed & badged as a 1970 Buick GS Stage 2. Engine: 350ci with Twin Turbo's Transmission: Built TH350 Rearend: Richmond 4.56 Two video's available on YouTube: i8VzPjolS_E and YZ13Kx5XnT4 This car runs and drives great, and is street legal. The engine is a freshly rebuilt Buick 350 with less than 100 miles on it. It has ported heads, Poston 114 cam, roller rockers, aluminum intake, blow through Holley 650 with full annular swap, aftermarket metering blocks, new baseplate with 4 corner idle, and tri-y turbo headers. It has a chrome high amp alternator, HEI distributor with vacuum advance/boost retard, an MSD CD ignition box with rev limiter, and Taylor 8mm wires. It has an Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, Mallory boost referenced bypass regulator flowing from an RCI 16 gallon cell in the trunk. It also has the TA Performance high volume oil pump.The short block is all stock but has a big crank and a deep true y-block, making it amazingly tough. It has an aluminum radiator with an electric 2 speed fan that keeps it nice and cool. The turbos are 50mm hybrids running through a 2 in 1 out style intercooler. It has twin 35mm wastegates and dual blow off valves to protect the cold side piping when coming off boost. It has full mandrel bent 3" exhaust on each side feeding stainless perforated tube race mufflers. The turbos are very well matched and because they are hybrids there is essentially no lag between throttling up and accelerating. With the conservative 8psi tune it runs great on 93 octane pump gas, which is all I have ever used. The transmission is a strong TH350 that has alto reds, kolene steels, stage 2 shift kit, extra frictions, a 3800rpm 9" nitrous converter, and has a stand alone trans cooler with a 10" fan. The converter isn't too loose on the street, but hits really hard when you want it to. The shifter is a B&M dual lockout Pro-Stick with a .44 magnum revolver cylinder handle (it holds real rounds). The driveshaft has heavy duty universals. The rearend is a shortend 10 bolt upgraded with a Richmond 4.56 ring & pinion and zytanium locker. The back half suspension is hung from 1/8" wall 2x3" rectangular steel. It features Camaro/Nova monoleafs for excellent comfort on the street, and true & tried track performance. It has custom traction bars integrated into the spring plates. The 6 point roll bar is .135 wall 1 3/4" steel. It has Summit racing bucket seats with a driver's side RCI harness. It has a Grant woodgrain/ polished aluminum steering wheel. The aluminum dash is full of Autometer Sport Comp gauges and Innovate wideband AFR system for on the fly tuning info. The bumpers, hood, fenders and trunk lid are all VFN fiberglass. Some of the pictures have the "GSX" stickers on the rear fenders and trunk lid but I removed them and installed OEM "GS" and "Stage 2" emblem's. The core support is fabricated aluminum and drops about 25lbs off the nose. The battery is in the trunk. There isn't anything under the hood that doesn't need to be there. It easily overpowers the huge 32x17.5" Mickey Thompson ET's going 30mph. At part throttle this car is quiet and mellow. At about 1/3 throttle the turbos start to whine and stacks up a few psi in the bonnet. At around 1/2 throttle it gets really fun. But at full throttle / full boost, this car launches straight as an arrow and with an aggressively mean roar. I took it to the drag strip once and my best run was 7.73 in the 1/8 mile. Although the exterior is solid there are a few scratches and the windshield has a crack in it. The interior is okay except for the driver's side door panel is missing and the rear seat has a couple splits. This car is really clean and mean and it is being sold as is with no warranty. I am not interested in trading it for a Chevelle, GTO, 442, Camaro, Mustang, Cuda, Harley, etc. because I already have a new project I'm working on. That is the reason why I'm selling this one. I am extremely confident that the new owner will thoroughly enjoy this powerful muscle car as much as I have. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Thank your for your interest and good luck bidding! |

Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Buick might be getting a logo makeover
Fri, 23 Nov 2012General Motors has finished off an extensive model overhaul for its Buick division, but along with its updated cars, the brand might also be getting a new logo. According to the Detroit Free Press, GM North America President Mark Reuss indicated that the Buick tri-shield logo could be getting a makeover, but offered no further information.
It is unlikely Buick will completely redesign or replace its current logo, but the article seems to indicate that it might return to color; although all chrome now, the logo used to feature red, white and blue shields. Head on over to the Detroit Free Press article to look at some past Buick logos including one from 1904.
