https://abetter.bid/en/42989000-1969-buick-skylark Buy it for the trunk emblem or the GS hood or the factory wheels, and get the rest of the car free! In Sun Valley, CA, 5 days to go on the auction.
Let me guess. Rust free California car but only a little bit of rust. But all is good as it is a barn find. Calling all Mopar guys !
I saw that one & didn't even bother posting the link but thanks for doing it - Maybe something there someone could use. Almost certainly a CA GS. Almost looks like something ripped into that door. No visible holes in the other panels. Might actually be a decent (parts?) Car if the wheelhouses are decent.
Look at that passenger side door gain .... see the debris line on the window? The window is up now, but clealy was left long term partially down to where that dbris lone is. Left partially down, moisture (rain, snow, dew cycles, etc.) likely ran down the glass (inside and outside) and then pooled in the inside of the door shell .... and rust has eaten that area at a faster pace than the other areas. There was clearly no shortage of leaves and other falling organic debris where the car was parked and that stuff retains moisture when it gets wet and promotes - even accelerates - rust ... similar to moisture under trunk floor mats if that area isn;t kept dry from moisture. My .02.
Man that car is Roached. That car sat for years and years. Another example of oh I will get to it someday. Primary damage... Normal wear... Secondary damage... Minor dent/scratches...
Kind of makes me wonder if that car sat in the woods with leaves etc all the way up to that window mark. Still probably a few good parts to someone. Big gamble hoping the hood is good and rust free. The rust on that car is deep. Can't imagine the hood is clean.
IMO you could part it out and make a profit--the grille surround, the hood, the wheels, and the trunk lock cover would fetch how much here in "Parts For Sale" ? Then there is the rear end, maybe it has a posi. I guess I just hate to see any '69 go to the scrap yard to become 500 toasters when it could instead be rescued at least as an organ donor.
Looks like I was mistaken on the auction time frame, it starts tomorrow. I would pay $100 of the $150 just to get the bumpers and trim pieces and the trunk lock cover, if I lived close enough to Sun Valley. Heck, the radiator would be worth that to some people.
