    1972 Skylark Custom project car (or good parts car). 350/2bbl, automatic, A/C, power drum brakes. Cream on Cream with White/Green Deluxe bench seat interior. Has typical rust in RH side of core support under battery. Surface rust only on undercarriage with no undercoating or rot. It appears to be a solid car with good doors, grille, and straight bumpers. The dash pad is cracked.

    The car has been in storage for several years and has not been started since parked. I was told it ran when parked, but have not taken the time to try to start it since the muffler and tail pipe are missing. The brakes do not currently work. Interior needs to be cleaned since no attempt to clean storage filth has been attempted since it was rescued.

    Pick up is in Dallas, Texas. I will help with shipping arrangements at buyers expense. Has clear title.

    $1200. Please post interest here first and follow up with PM.

    Thanks.

    Still available. New price - $1200.

    I removed the carpet to inspect the floor pans - very solid (see pics). There is some rust in the quarters behind the wheels, and the right front fender is rusty. Someone did some shade tree body and paint work at some time, and the right door has a dent by the door handle. I can email more pics if interested.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, but I still have a way to go. I purchased a package of cars and parts in late February and am working on getting a small part of my investment back. Maybe, just maybe your car can replace these if everything eventually works out, but a lot has to happen. :TU:

    James, I know you have somebody looking, but I wanted to make sure you know we are interested, if you will put me in line please.

    If it gets to me, I'd like some pictures of the right fender.

    Hi Mark,

    I sent you some emails with lots of pictures. The car is still available since I have not heard back from the interested board member.

    Thanks.
