This is a very nice '63 Buick Skylark convertible that runs well and looks great too. This car is a reliable driver and has traveled 40000 trouble free miles in the 10 years I've owned it. This mileage includes week-long trips of 2000 miles or more as well as short trips to the grocery store, etc. It has been well maintained with regularly scheduled maintenance and has always been garaged. When I purchased the car from the 2nd owner, the original 3 speed transmission was toast so I had a TH350 3 speed automatic transmission installed. It uses a floor mounted shifter and drives and shifts smoothly. Due to this conversion, the speedometer now registers about 10-15 mph above the real speed. The odometer also register more miles so I've added probably 5000 less miles to the car. Here are some specifics about this great little Buick:
Engine-- Famous 215CI aluminum V-8, 2 bbl carb., runs well, starts easily, no smoke, never overheats, lots of power
Trans.--TH350, shifts easily, reliable
Tires--fairly new radials, sport spoke well covers
Brakes-- drum all around, maintained regularly
Paint--new 9 years ago, still looks good, only minor dings and scratches
Top--convertible in fairly good condition, back window shows a little haze and stitching is aging, has hydraulic opening mechanism with new pump which hasn't been installed yet, I open and close the top very easily by hand.
Interior-- fairly new vinyl seats, carpet and doors in good condition, rubber weatherstripping all in good condition
Body--very good condition , all chrome is in very good condition also, there is evidence of some rust repair in front fender area in engine compartment, rocker panels and floorboards are solid
Glass-- all original and in good condition
Electrical-- all electrics work well including the heater
As you can tell, this is a ready-to-go great little car. I have only a 4 figure reserve on the car so please bid often. The winner can fly into Charlottesville, VA airport(CHO) and feel comfortable driving this car any distance home.
