    peedenmark7 drop that top !!!!

    give er one last go here...if she doesnt sell this spring,, shes getting parked and forgotten about at our summer home I dont have the space to garage 'er in my main home...

    '71 skylark custom...65K original miles, documented on clean colorado title.
    QUICK passes wisconsin and colorado emissions.
    lime mist factory hard top, and yes the codes match. hunter green cloth interior that is in incredible shape for a car 36 years old. ,with exception of front seat back... everything is soft and supple smells new..
    dash pad is excellant.
    350-2 thats starts when you hit the key... runs and drives as new.. no smoke or issues. pick it up and drive it to wherever you live,
    I bought this car in '94 with 39K miles on it and used it only for summer drives from colorado to wisconsin and back twice a year.
    original brake shoes and exhaust.
    AM, A/C, PS,PB, RWD, 15x7 ralleye wheels with goodyear radials.
    very straight and squeeky clean.

    originally asked $8900....reduced to $6850 firm...I'd like it gone , but am not gonna give it away either... in a few years I'll simply pass it on to family if need be.
    car is located in southeast wisconsin.
    hear it run ,touch ,taste and smell...
    BUT it isnt going on the road until the salt season is done and washed off the roads by rain as this car has never seen a winter.

    you could cetainly spend a heck of a lot less for a lark...
    but you get what you pay for..
    this car is fully documented and has been buick dealership maintained most of its life....

    interested parties will email me direct for pictures...or you can search the archives for my previous offering.
    please do NOT PM me, as I'd like to qualify my potential buyers degree of seriousness as much as they'd like to qualify my car :)
    so I repsectfully ask, no window shoppers please...

    thanks for looking !
    john

    John,

    If you don't sell it by the end of April would you bring it to Spring Jefferson? It's practically in your backyard near Fort Atkinson. I had good luck in the car corral there a few years back. I believe it's $50 to sell for the whole 2 day show.

    Who knows, I may have my 65' Riv sold then and be back in the market.:Brow:

    pics on their way to all who inquired.

    hi chuck
    with regard to spring jefferson... I no longer bring cars out there..
    though the show has grown by leaps and bounds, its really gone down hill , the car corral has in my estimation become a tire kickers buffet of sorts... plus I know guys who have had parts ripped off their cars in past years .

    after putting my mint '72 sun coupe [arizona car] out there in '93 ,parked next to a wisconsin suncoupe that was rusted beyond rusted to have guys tell me $2850 was out of line because it didnt have buckets like the $950 clunker sitting next to mine , I decided I was better served in listing it /others to broader audiences nationally.
    "us" wisconsinites have always been a bit cheap when it comes to old cars :)
    most would rather get a deal to fix up [usually never getting started] , than spend for a clean correct car...

    though the roof was a bit noisy when open, I wish I still had that damn sun coupe today !!!!!


    maybe some of that has changed in 13 years since my last car offering at jefferson.... but during 24 yrs of buicking
    I would think things are for the most part the same over there :(

    however....if you are in the area, you are more than welcome to stop by and have a beer , whether youre in the market for the car or not...!!!
    shoot me a PM and I'll put you intouch with my brother he's been looking for a while now for a clean '65 riv.
    is she a GS ?
    he's up in depere...

    Thanks,

    been offline a while and havent put any real effort into listing this locally or nationally...
    but I'm getting ready to park it permanently in my summer homes garage in the northern part of wisconsin 4th of july weekend.....

    I know its lime mist green...but $6800 is a steal for this car...I'd hate to see it used as a donor body, but one could spend far more cobbling a rusty GS shell back together... this thing is stupid clean and drives out nice... everyting works....you really dont get much these days for under $15-20K .
    someone buy this thing for cripes sake :)

    John,

    How far are you from the Chicagoland area? I currently live in Arizona, but I will be visiting family @ the end of July.

    I don't want to be a tire kicker, but could you possibly send me all the pictures you have? Not saying you aren't a man of your word, but one mans treasure is another mans trash. :)
