1970 Buick Skylark

Buick Skylark (1970)
for sale

Price: US $2,500.00

Description:

Beautiful 1970 Skylark Custom Convertible. This classic cruiser had a driver-level restoration in 2014 with cinnamon bronze base coat / clear coat paint and a new convertible top. Virtually zero rust was found on the body after full media-blasting, except the trunk pan, which was replaced, and it appears that the floor pans were repaired at some point in the cars life by a previous owner. The paint is very nice but does show a few flaws on close inspection, a very good 5-footer. The interior had also been re-done at some point, and cleaned up really nicely. All the glass is good, power top, lights and gauges all work (except clock), brand new American Racing rims with spyder caps and new BF Goodrich tires (Less than 200 miles on them). The bumpers are driver-quality, still show very well, but would need re-chromed to make this a true show car (see last pics). An aftermarket stereo was added, with speakers in the front kick-panels and rear convertible well.
Mechanically, the car has a good, vintage correct 350 2bbl engine with new HEI distributor, and a smooth-shifting TH350 automatic transmission. No smoke or noises, starts, runs, and drives great, and is an absolute blast to run around in and take to cruise nights and car shows. Power steering, tight and goes down the road straight. Power 4-wheel drum brakes with new master cylinder, shoes, and brake cylinders. Originally an A/C car, someone removed the under-hood components years ago.
Now for the legal stuff;
I welcome and highly encourage you to have the car inspected, and will work with you or your inspection agent to allow access to the car, however, all inspections must be complete prior to the end of the sale.

The pictures are part of the car description, and should be used as such to make your buying decision. If you would like to see other pictures, please ask, and I'll gladly email what you would like to see.

The car will be listed for sale locally at the same time that the auction starts, and will likely sell that way, so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time regardless of bids. This is a very nice classic car that shows well and turns a lot of heads, use the Buy-it-Now to avoid missing out.
