After less than a month from joining the board and posting a "car wanted" thread (back in Aug/Sept) , I was fortunate enough to find a 1968 Skylark Convertible to call my own! Found it through the board.......Board member Michael Kelly in Plano Texas. I have to applaud Michael's patience (took almost 2 months for it to arrive due to paperwork and shipping issues) and his honesty (the car is as he described it......no disappointments or surprises). The car is off to my trusted friend and mechanic for some TLC over the winter. Hopefully I can master posting pics, but its shown in my avatar That's it for now. Much more to follow......
Welcome to the board! How's that top lookin in that avatar....? Kinda reminds me of when I got mine:laugh: You'll love it here:beer
Adam, The fabric on the top is fried but the mechanism seems to be ok. It does raise and lower properly, the previous owner used this pic to illustrate that it works..... More pics on the way!
Dang it they took another texas car! :ball: Just teasing- Congrates on your new ride... Looks like a good one...
looks cool after all the paperwork ,( bureaucracy ) things are looking up . i believe that u said the car would be in the belle river area (?) this winter . if so , let me know when u will be taking it home in the spring and i will drop over for a looksee before it leaves here .
Welcome Gosh that color 68 Skylark brings back memories, thats what I Drove back in High School. Driving to school in the snow with the top down, listening to the Doors...Riders on the Storm ou: :beer Looks great!
Re: looks cool Gerry, You're correct. I'll be bringing it into Windsor to get a new top in the spring.......I'll let you know where and when and we can hook up. Mark
Welcome fellow 68/69 Lover :beer :Brow: Noce Skirts :Brow: Glad that you found what you were looking for..... you're gonna LOVE having a drop-top !! If you're in need of 68/69 parts let us know.....there are a few of us on the board that specialize in them
I'm in the process of assembling my list of required parts. I won't be shy posting my requirements:grin: Thanks
