1971 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE SPORT CUSTOM
I have for auction a 1971 Buick Skylark convertible, it is currently running a 350 V-8 (not sure if it is numbers matching but most likely it is) with duel exhaust. Please keep in mind, in my opinion, this is more of a project car than anything else. Here’s what I know or what I discovered about her.
THE GOOD:
· Runs great! The 350 V-8, starts right up and purrs like a kitten.
· The underneath is solid, pans are great! There looks to be an under coating that was sprayed on years ago, because it’s starting to flake off now, but it protected it well.
· Trunk is solid.
· The Convertible top goes up and down freely.
· All the glass is good.
· The seats are in pretty good shape.
THE BAD:
· WILL NOT DRIVE, REVERSE ONLY. I was hoping to get lucky and put trans fluid in it, but no such luck. It wants to go, but will most likely need a rebuild or new/used trans slapped in.
· It’s hard to tell in the pictures, but I would say 35-40% of the cars paint is cracking in all different places. It got a bad paint job, prep job, or something.
· The interior is painted red, as you can see in the pictures, so that’s disheartening.
· I can see the driver’s side rear quarter was replaced
· The Convertible top needs to be replaced
· The electric windows are slow going up and down, some of the buttons work in the car and some don’t. This tells me that the motors are probably original.

OK, like I said it’s a PROJECT, so I’m not going to bash it anymore. Keep in mind it runs good and it’s a convertible. My reserve is LOW LOW. I will answer all questions the best I can. Bid away!
