1966 Buick Skylark

1966 Buick Skylark. No reserve This is an Excellent driving resto-mod. There has been a tremendous amount of drivetrain work done to this ride. I bought this Skylark almost five years ago out of Iowa from a farmer. The vehicle was a former restoration. To my knowledge the original restoration was done years ago. There was some minor body issues that he disclosed to me and I will disclose via pictures and description. The body has some almost unnoticeable dents both on the right side and the hood has some cracks and chips right at the nose of the hood. There is a shallow dent in the right rear quarter and an outward dent above the right front wheel in the quarter (both pictured). Other than these exterior issues and a few small chips the paint looks Excellent. The interior is also amazing. It is neat as hell with a two tone color scheme. All the chrome on the inside and out of this vehicle looks great!! There is a small spider size chip in the middle of the dash and tear in the leather on the drivers seat, all easily repairable. The chrome wheels came with the car and look great. The tires also came with the car and are in great condition.  The convertible top was done in the restoration and is also in Excellent condition. The convertible top boot is in great shape. There is no visible rust on the vehicle. Since it was a previous restoration done years ago I do not know if there ever was. I can tell you that I see no rust or evidence of rust. Whatever was done in the previous restoration it has stood up over time. I have taken pictures of the most prominent things that it would need to make it a complete vehicle, and to make sure you know exactly what you are getting when you purchase.Now for the list of things that I had done to the vehicle. 350 V8 engine with all new components:- GM reconditioned block- Main line bored / cylinders bored and torque plated and honed.

In the trunk all you can see is the amps in the back. The sub is hidden and there were no modifications done to the interior except for the speakers.

My title says 60123 but that was prior to the engine swap. Currently the odometer reads 60893This vehicle is truly a turn key BAD ASS Resto-mod. The paint and dents were to small for me to tear into the current paint job. It is not perfect but wasn't bad enough for me to redo. I have the title in hand and in my nameI will only take wire transfer or certified check to be mailed and deposited prior to vehicle leaving my possession. Pick up only with advance notice of pick up time to be clearly communicated between myself the seller and you the buyer. I have done my best to describe this vehicle accurately, please let the pictures be your guide. I have some videos that I am not smart enough to post but I can send via text. Thanks for looking. Brad
