I know nothing....

  1. Just got my 66 Buick Skylark GS a few months ago, given to me by my father in law. I know nothing about cars, or knew nothing before I started, but no time like the present right?

    You are never too old or too young to start wrenching on them.

    If you have seen a 3 year old banging on a car with a wrench, you have seen a 93 year old banging on a car with a wrench... :p

  6. Yeah, it looks like portions of it have been repainted, but I'm not sure, and my father in law doesn't really know. I am the third owner.

    How many pedals does it have? Looks like a nice straight car.

  15. Thanks, It was originally My wife's aunt's vehicle, then she sold it to my father in law years ago, he drove it on occasion but he has lots of toys, mainly his first Gen Celica to work on. He then gave it to his other daughter, who was going to restore it but then moved and couldn't pay to store it anymore, so they asked if we would like it. They knew I had a space in my garage for it. I jumped at the chance.

    Just saw this! Always great to see another '66 GS show up! What a great way to acquire a '66 GS convertible.
    Good luck with the restoration. Take plenty of pictures and post a few when you can.
