    Went and looked at this car tonight and decided to buy it. I took alot of decision since it is about 175 miles from my house but seems to be well worth the money and has alot of good parts.

    It will be added to the collection of GS's and skylarks that will be dismantled this summer by Pat and I. This car has alot of issues but is mostly complete.

    I plan to part it out so when I get it home I will be posting some things for sale. If anyone is intersted. I guess some have to die for others to live:eek2:

    Here's some pics.

    It doesn't look that bad. What is wrong with the car? How are the wheel well mouldings and what would you take for them? Does it have a good radio bezel and am/fm radio and prices? Could I get pics sent to junitis@twmi.rr.com for the parts asked about?

    Well yes and no.


    I have parts of it in about 5 pieces. :ball:

    Would be good to use if someone need pieces to repair. ALso I have all the studs.

    Front end hit in front middle.
    Coresupport shot! Fenders one is ok other is shot.
    Doors are good. Frame patched.
    n-25 nice straight core. Chrome not bad
    Has Posi rear with swaybar/boxed lowers. Not sure on ratio probably 3.08 or 3.42 but I doubt the later.

    Bezel is cut for a aftermarket radio.
    Wheel well mouldings all there in good shape. I will let you know when I get the car home.

    Thanks
    Dustin

    How much are you asking for the rear and boxed lowers?
     
  12. Buick Trainee

    The boxed lowers and sway bar I will probably be using on my car eventually. But the rear will be sold probably if it is a 3.08 Posi

    If its a 3.42(Doubtful) I will keep it.

    I will let you know a price when I find out the exact condition of the posi unit/ gears etc... Probably the car had a hard life so who knows what shape it is in.:Do No:

    Thanks

    Hi Dustin,
    I wanted to jump on the rear before some body else asked, is this body in good condition for your project car? It's a shame this car was wrecked, looks nice

    Body is shot in my opinion. Trunk is decent but 1/4 are not that rusty but dented up. Floors are so so.

    Probably just cut out the good and scrap the rest.

    Its a shame.
    The car is supposed to be Bittersweet Mist bit looks to be repainted all most Burgandy Mist. I like the color on it now.

    Dustin,

    Are you and Pat going to be doing another "parts car burnout" with this one like you did with the other car you parted out? :laugh:

    Like to get the rear bumper if not already spoken for.
    Do you think you'll be able to ship it.
    I know it will be a real bear, still interested.

    i could use a radio bezel for a '72 (not sure if '71 is the same) and the radio if it still works and isn't complete crap...

    an attempt to make the car look old again.. i'm looking to put a cd player under the passenger seat, radio in dash wouldn't even work, just there for looks really
