Skylarks were special built: In 1962 Buick made a Limited Edition Hardtop coupe in the Special line with a High Compression "Power Pack" all aluminum V8 engine.  This motor is a work of art and an engineering masterpiece.  GM sold the Patents. tooling. and manufacturing rights of the Buick 215 to Rover of England in 1965 and the motor was used in many vehicles. race cars. boats. and even airplanes due to it light weight and reliability. It was also used in Land Rovers until about 2004.
At cars shows I have yet to see another one. and it gets LOTS of attention.   This car is Rust-Free and still has the original undercoating on the underside of the body.
