    $22k, reserve not met? Granted it's a pretty clean car, but sheesh.

    What's up with that? :confused:

    Is it just me or does the rear spoiler just no look right without the GSX stripes?

    Nice car, but for that kind of money he should have dropped the extra 1-2k at the beginning and started with a GS. If he had done that, there might be a chance of getting 22k out of it. As the car sits now, a really nice skylark, I don't see that happening. But you never know...

    Heck, you could buy my Black numbers matching 71 GS 455 (GSX clone) for that.

    How right you are Jerry!

    Well, the grille alone is worth 1/10 of the price, and seeing the price of the NOS N25 tips we've recently seen :Brow:

    Something is worth what someone else will pay. In the end, It's a 1971 Skylark.

    Of course everybody knows "Reserve not met" means you wouldn't get it even if you DID bid 22 grand...

    What's the reserve, I wonder? $50k? :moonu:

    I emailed the gentleman a few questions:

    He doesn't know the what size the rearend 8.2 or 8.5 and isn't sure if it has a posi unit.
    He says it appraised for $17000.00 before he had the engine rebuilt.
    He says the engine is out of a 70GS/GSX and that makes it a Stage1.

    If he can sell his clone for this much anyone else better start buying old skylarks.:blast:
