    Seems like a lot of work already into this one:

    1968 Buick Skylark Pro Street. Clean Indiana title. Car is streetable with functioning headlights. Taillights need rewiring. Turn signals not working. Dual exhaust. Car features an 8 point Alston cage and back half chassis with ladder bars and coil overs. 455 ci Buick engine and 400 TCI competition Buick transmission with Hurst shifter. Engine and transmission perform perfectly. Car is all steel with a glass scoop. Trunk is fitted with an 8 gallon fuel cell. Pump is mechanical. Engine runs on pump gas. Rearend is a Ford 8.25 with 4.56 gears. Interior has the stock dash fitted with 2 gauges. Functioning tach and non-functioning speedometer are mounted to the dash. Door panels are factory. Window and vents are stock with functioning cranks. Carpet is poorly laid and needs replacing. Seats are from an S-10 with aftermarket seat covers. NO seatbelts. Cage is in decent condition needing repainted. The engine compartment is presentable but painted gloss black and in need of repainting. Car has functional power steering. NO heat and NO AC. Underbody is clean with NO fluid leaks but also in need of some detail work. Frame is solid from front to rear. Car looks great from 20ft. The body will need extensive work to be show quality. The quarters are somewhat wavy with mud all over. Rust is reappearing in quarters, on lower doors, and on lower fenders. The paint is average at best with some orange peel and surface scabs around the rear window and hood scoop. Wheels are polished cragars with front runners and 31x18.5 treaded Mickeys on the back. Tires are decent. 4 wheel disc brakes. Car runs and drives great. Does not overheat and is extremely quick. No mile times but should run easily in the high elevens. If you are looking for a show car please look elsewhere. If you are looking for a fun turnkey driver or bracket car for a fraction of the cost of a show car please bid. NO RESERVE!! Im selling the car due to space limitations. Please look closely at the provided pictures and email any questions BEFORE bidding. $300 due within 5 days of auctions end. The balance is due within 30 days by certified bank check or money order. Car must be picked up from my location in Peru, IN 46970. I will not deliver and will not arrange for delivery. Thanks for looking.

    That rear end must be bigger than an 8.25. Looks like a 9in to me.
    Looks like a fun bracket car to me......
