71' Buick Skylark 455 4 speed!

For sale is my 71' Buick Skylark 455 4 speed. I guess you can call it a GS tribute. I have copied and pasted below from a Word file I created on the car of what I have done do it. I have had the car since 06' and previous owner had paint and body work done. Its about 13 years old now and still is VERY nice. I am moving on from the car for other interests that will keep me from cars but will not give it away. it will wait for the right buyer.
Couple photos pasted here and please click link for more and video from today. Car will be listed other places but would be nice if went to someone here. I also may include some nice Buick parts like 15" Powder coated steel wheels with VERY nice Buick poverty caps.

Wow is right! This is one of my favorite Buicks on this board. I've even used it as the background on my desktop - I have a soft spot for the '71s and it's built just like I would have done it. This car deserves a great home.

The weather has to be the only thing stopping the sale of that car!!!
