Turning heads and putting smiles on people’s faces are what
this fully restored 1968 Buick Skylark Custom convertible does best. The older restoration preserved the best
“classic” features while making the Buick low maintenance – a perfect
combination that makes this car a drive-around-town worthy classic. The new 350
c.i. crate engine has less than 1K miles on it. It has a newer top, great chrome
and rubber, and a well cared-for interior. Only non-stock items are the dual exhaust, well-done re-paint (chrome
and such were removed during the repainting) and the raised letter tires.
Because of the quality of the restoration and the car’s attentive care since
then, there’s no rust and it’s incredibly clean throughout.
This beautiful convertible was purchased at the Fall Auburn
Action in 2008. Since that time this
convertible has only been driven on sunny, dry days – never in rain or
inclement weather – adding less than 500 miles to its odometer that now reads
81K miles. When not getting thumbs up
from passers-by on the road, the Buick Skylark convertible has always been
garaged in a temperature controlled environment with a custom car cover that’s
also included. Of course, full records of maintenance during its current
ownership are available.
This Buick convertible is a fine driver’s-car (& rider’s
car). It’s solidly built, well-restored
and in mechanically tip-top. The car
isn’t so perfect that one would worry about its value dropping every time it
went for a spin around the block. The only quibbles are either easily fixable, like the radio which doesn’t work but could be replaced with an updated or
original style version, or not really noticeable, like a couple of minor paint
flaws. So make an offer and let’s see how this can be
your next “no-worries” classic beauty.
