1967 Buick Skylark Convertible 455 V8 P/B P/S 400 Turbo Trans GS Tribute

I am selling my friends 1967 Buick Skylark convertible. This is a regular convertible that has been given a GS treatment in the late 90's early 2000's.
Here is what my friend says about the car;
1967 Buick Skylark ConvertiblePros:
455 (it's fast)New Edelbrock carburetorFront disc brakesFront & rear sway barsNew high efficiency radiatorNew fuel pumpNew starter motorPremium dual exhaustBucket seatsFloor shiftRuns wellClean DMV
Cons:
straight body with relativly small paint damageconvertible does not work (motors missing)…tear in the top near rear window (outside tear only)exhaust manifold gaskets leakingmaybe needs new master cylinder…(brakes take a few mins to respond well after car warms up. but after that. just fine)gas gauge does not workwindow cranks and door handles are temperamental 
Now my take on the car;
I have been a passenger in the car many times and have driven it a few times. It seems to have all the GO you would need. The car runs well and gets looks where ever you take it. No shortage of people that want to go for a ride in it.
My take on the fit and finish of the car.
It was painted and refreshed in the late 90's early 2000's and turned into it's current form. It was given a rebuilt 455. paint and interior. The bucket seats were sourced from a GS and all were recovered. The car was only driven for about 8 months then put into a garage for the winter and was not brought out the next year. I went and helped my friend pick up the car from his dad's house in 2012. We put a battery and some fresh fuel in it and it fired up and I drove it onto my trailer. Since then it has had the new parts replaced you see above.
The paint is about a 7. It is presentable. but there are flaws. Probably the biggest is on the hood where there was a carburetor fire at one time(that is why there is a new carb! and fuel lines). but 95% of people that look at the car would not notice it. The body is solid and rust free. There are small dents and dings. but again. a very presentable 10 footer. The car spent about a week at an auto electric shop getting the wiring sorted out. but somehow the fuel gauge still does not work. I do know that the sending unit was replaced as well. Still no bueno on the fuel gauge. The interior could use a good cleaning. The white seats easily show dirt and they need to be vigorously cleaned. The chrome on the car is fair. Both the front and rear bumpers have pitting in spots and will need to be re-plated at some point in the future. The stainless trim is in excellent condition. The tires have like new tread on them. They are older. but the car has always been in a garage so there is no cracking on the sidewalls. The convertible top is also white and in need of a good cleaning. There is one small tear/rip that I don't think will be much of a problem in inclement weather as it is only the outer layer and is not very big. Most of the time you will have the top down anyway! There is also a top boot cover that is white. Again. this will need to be cleaned as it is not as white as it could be.
I am not an expert on these cars. but I think that they did what was needed to make this a nice 455 GS tribute.

The body tag has the following; GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION / 10A / ST 67-44467FL1 39253 BODY / TR 185-A K-2 PAINT / W 2X / 4FC 5KY (COULD BE SKY) / BODY BY FISHER From what I found; ST Style is 2 door convertible Body was built in Flint MI. TR Trim is Black either Vinyl or Cloth Paint K is Aquamarine So it is a color change. but you would never know it. Any more questions let me know. This would not let me ad this like it appears in rows from top to bottom on the plate. Where ever this is a / that indicates all that is on that line of the data plate.

I have been getting a lot of questions about the drive train of the car. The engine was supposed to have been rebuilt at the time my friends father bought the car. That was in the late 90's early 2000's. More likely. the engine was pulled apart and given new bearings and checked over for wear and re-sealed. I have asked for paperwork for the car from when it was purchased. but is has been lost. Also my friends father's memory is failing. As for the transmission. it too was supposed to be rebuilt. but I can not verify that. Since my friends father bought the car it has done less than 10. 00 miles. probably less than 6. 00 as it was only driven on occasion during the time he had it. It was in Santa Rosa CA and driven to Napa on occasion as well as just general running around. Since my friend has had it. I doubt it has seen more than 1. 00 miles. It doesn't go out of town and he only drove it on the weekend or occasional evening. The sad part of the car is that it sat in a garage and was not used. That is not good for ANY vehicle. That is where it received it's majority of dings and small dents. The car was parked as the dealer that it was purchased from failed to do the registration paperwork for the car and after a while it was just kind of a sore spot and he didn't pursue it. When my friend took over the car it took about a month to deal with the paperwork. The car has a clear California title (California car it's whole life) and current registration and insurance. Judging by the general condition of the car and the fact that most convertibles rust out. this must have been garaged it's whole life. I know it has been during its ownership with my friend and his father.
