I bought two Skylarks today

$5 each at Dollar General

 

They are reasonably accurate.
The underside shows Dynaflow , canister oil filter , starter on the driver's side, master cylinder and vacuum booster, the huge muffler, torque tube.
The interior (lack of chrome not withstanding) is also reasonably accurate

 

When I pulled the price sticker off, there's a huge skid plate protecting the rear axle and fuel tank.
Not quite accurate...
But, for $5, I'm not complaining

 

nice find... skid plate? it almost looks like it has one of the friction motors that propels the car forward after the car/wheels are pulled backward!

 

Damn! Wrecked one already?

Let me know if your parting it out...

 

For a second there, I thought it had an X-pipe.

 

Those are cool at first glance I thought you must have hit the Lotto or something.

Bash plate for the Rally version? I've done a few diecasts lately, some carefull work with a paint brush makes a big improvement. Not much you can do about the bash plate though.

 

Geez James. You're just toyin' with us.

 

I guess the friction motor is optional,,
Maybe that would be the $7 model

 

It's how I can afford two Skylarks!

 

I stop at this Dollar General just about every working day, to get my Power Ade for the following day .
This is the first timeI've seen Buicks in the toy car case
