  1. Hello! I am glad to be here! I am going this upcoming Saturday, 01-04-20' to purchase a "1972 Buick Skylark Sedan 350". It is All Original, a True Survivor that has never been Restored with only 36,000 Actual Original Miles. I have been an Active Member on the Classic Oldsmobile Forum for quite some time as the last 2 Classic Cars that I have owned were Oldsmobile's. But with that said I have had my share of Buicks in the past including a: 1972 Buick Skylark Coupe 350, 1973 Buick Le Sabre Custom Sedan, 1962 Buick Special Deluxe Sedan and now this one. I have Attached some Pictures. More to come on this Buick once I get it home and get started on it... Thanks for looking! :)

    Welcome! The car your purchasing was discussed not long ago in a thread around here somewhere. It looks remarkably clean!

    Welcome from Georgia! I’m glad the car is getting saved-too many of those got used up as cheap transportation.

  11. Yes Bill I have fell guilty of that myself when I was younger with the 4 doors in the junkyards, but the classic car junkyards don't exist around here anymore, its all about eBay and forums like this one.

  18. No both Steering Wheels are very different. Batwing Design are the only thing alike about them.
     
  19. Thanks Tony, Philip and Fred!
     
  20. Well I did go and purchase the car this past Saturday, 01-04-20', I drove it 3.5 Hours home with no problems or issues, it drove, rode, stopped and handled very well to be a 47 year old car with points ignition and drum brakes on all four corners, I will be going thru my original process of totally refreshing the entire car but leaving it as stock and original as possible. I have already started and will keep everyone up to date on it progress.
