1972 BUICK SKYLARK 350 SUNCOUPE STUNNING ORIGINAL 79K DOCUMENTED DESIRED OPTIONS

UP FOR BIDS IS PROBABLY THE NICEST ORIGINAL CONDITION 1972 BUICK SKYLARK SUNCOUPE IN EXISTENCE. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW THE SUNCOUPE IS A VERY RARE CAR WITH LESS THAN 3000 PRODUCED AND ITS CHEVY. PONTIAC AND OLDS COUNTERPARTS DID NOT EVEN OFFER THIS PACKAGE. IT IS A LIFETIME FLORIDA CAR WITH NO RUST AND STILL SPORTING ITS FACTORY ORIGINAL SANDALWOOD (BEIGE) PAINT AND WHITE VINYL INTERIOR. BOTH IN GOOD CONDITION. IT PRESENTLY SHOWS 79. 45 MILES AND COMES WITH A CLEAR FLORIDA "ACTUAL MILEAGE" TITLE. AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THIS IS INCORRECT. THE BROWN VINYL TOP AND SUNCOUPE SLIDING TOP HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO SHRINKAGE FROM THE FLORIDA SUN. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST UNDER THE ORIGINAL VINYL TOP. ALMOST UNHEARD OF FOR THESE GM A-BODY CARS. THE RENOWNED MIKES AUTO TRIM HERE IN SARASOTA DID THE TOP REPLACEMENT. THE CAR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY AND SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. THERE IS A SLIGHT TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAK WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR A LONG TIME. BUT SEALS RIGHT UP UPON USE OF THE CAR. I DID ADD ELECTRONIC IGNITION A FEW YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE ADDED PERFORMANCE.

I HAVE SIX BUICK SKYLARKS AND THIS IS THE BEST CONSISTENT RUNNER. THE BATTERY IS NEW AS WELL AS THE FIRESTONE TIRES MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL SPORT WHEELS.  THE FACTORY DISC BRAKES HAVE NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEM AND STOP ON A DIME (FOR THAT ERA).  THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS THINNING IN PLACES ESPECIALLY AROUND THE TRUNK KEY AND IN BACK OF THE VINYL TOP AND IT DOES HAVE THE USUAL DINGS AND SCRATCHES EXPECTED ON A 41 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ORIGINAL PAINT. THE ORIGINAL BROWN SUNCOUPE STRIPES ARE ALSO THINNING BEHIIND THE TOP. ALSO. THE R-134 CONVERTED AC BLOWS COLD AND THE ORIGINAL AM/FM WORKS WELL BUT ONLY THRU THE REAR SPEAKER. SOMEONE DID DISONNECT THE HEATER CORE YEARS AGO BUT THIS HASN'T BEEN A CONCERN FOR THIS FLORIDA CAR. CONSIDERING THE COLD AC. THE LARGE SUNCOUP OPEN TOP. AND THE FACT THAT IT HASN'T BEEN OUT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER IN MANY YEARS. THE INTERIOR HAS NO RIPS OR TEARS. THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL ARE CRACK FREE. THE BLACK CLOTH HEADLINER IS NEAR PERFECT. AND THE BLACK ORIGINAL CARPET IS PRETTY GOOD. ALTHOUGH THINNING UNDER THE GREAT CONDITION ORIGINAL  BUICK MATS.  THERE IS WEAR ON THE DRIVERS BOTTOM SEAT CORDING AND THE HARD BACKS OF THE BUCKET SEATS ARE FLAKING FROM AGE. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THESE A-BODY BUCKETS. THE ARM RESTS COULD ALSO USE REPLACING. NOT BECAUSE  THEY ARE WORN BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT AGING THESE SUFFER. IT IS PURELY A COSMETIC THING THAT NEVER BOTHERED ME AS I WOULD RATHER KEEP THE CAR AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE.   THE REASON I AM SELLING THE CAR IS I RECENTLY ACQUIRED AN ORIGINAL FAMILY OWNED SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE THAT HAS SENTIMENTAL VALUE AND I NEED THE GARAGE SPACE FOR IT.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AND TO INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE BIDDING.  I  WILL TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE ANY EXTRA PICTURES ASKED FOR. MY PHONE NUMBER IS 941-953-9565. THE CAR IS AT MY HOME AND READY FOR INSPECTION. GOOD LUCK BIDDING. THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO OWN SUCH AN ORIGINAL WELL CARED FOR SUNCOUPE. ESPECIALLY THIS WELL EQUIPPED.
