Buick Skylark (1964)
for sale
Price: US $1,000.00
Price: US $1,000.00
This is a new car to me. Picked it up last week. I only bought it because I thought it was pretty darn nice for a reasonable price. The odometer shows just over 80, 000 miles. If I had to guess, I believe it to be correct given everything else about the car. But there is no way to guarantee that. As you can see from the pictures, it is an unrestored, unmolested original car. As far as I can tell, everything works.
I decoded the VIN on the car. Everything is correct. It is a red car, with red interior and a black top. Front seats are buckets in really good shape. Actually, the entire interior is in really good original condition. Not perfect, but it is original. The radio works, the wipers work, the power top works, the heater works. ..it just all works.
As for the body, it has a few spots where there is surface rust. The car has a repaint on it, and it is not the correct color red. They repainted it more of a maroon. .but it is a brighter red than that originally. You can see it in person. The tires are all good, the original knockoff style hubcabs are all in place. All the badging on the car is in place, as is all the original vanity trim. The tough stuff like the grill and the bumpers are really nice. Not broken, or dented.
The body itself is more like a 6 or 7 out of 10. It will need attention if you want it to be top drawer. But hey, for the price, a guy can make this car tip top and not have an ungodly fortune in it.
It truly runs and drives just fine. Had it out on the highway today doing 90. Loud inside as the convertible top is not in great shape, but the car stops, starts, runs, drives, and honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to go a 1, 000 miles today.
This is Buick Skylark, 1964. Original red/red car with a black convertible top. It is the 300 V-8, which I am told was the only V8 in this car in that year. It also has a 2 speed automatic transmission.
A fantastic car for anyone. I mean that.
So if you are interested, bid on it. I do intend to sell it.
To make it easier for you, here is the NADA Classic Car Guide values current as of today.

This is a cash sale. I will expect a $500 deposit immediately following the close of the sale, and I also don't take checks for the balance. I prefer a wire transfer, but would accept a bank draft, providing I can call the bank and speak with someone to clear it prior to your taking the vehicle. Sorry folks, there's just so many scams out there I just can't risk it.
All the best
