I got a 67 buick skylark california gs. I just want to know what's the value of these cars, cant seem to find alot of info on them. Are they not popular or just not many produced..? Thanks for any info.
Welcome to V8BUICK ! This is the place to ask all questions. I don't know much about the new Buicks. Be patient, the people in the know are not on here all the time. Someone will surely know about your car and post soon.
Hi.. there was a very nice 67 Cal GS on ebay that was ending at 7k every week the sellers was asking 8k.. unfortuanly these models are not fetching much... Im a big fan of them but I'm in the minority..
Thats what I was thinking. I like the body style on it imma paint it bag it on billet 22s and shave everything off :laugh: Thanks for the reply.
:shock: Friends don't let friends with Buicks run 22's. :shock: Just say no! Post a few more questions and then post some pictures. Scott
Welcome to the board!!! Can't wait to see some pics!! (hint-hint: most guys here hate big wheels on Buicks.)
UH O! Here we go with another "Does big wheels look stupid" thread! :laugh: Maybe up to 20" if they are tucked in the wheel wells nicely.
22's isnt too big. . I got 26's on my Bagged Chevy Avalanche so going 22 will be nice on this ride, plus not too many people have skylarks looking nice.
Ok here's a pic of my ride when I first bought it. All I did was add the wheels's that's all. 20's up front and 22's in the rear. I dont plan on keeping these wheels i'll probly end up replacing them with something like Twisted vista's in 22's all the way around bagged lay'd out. I already shaved all logo's,antenna and hood scoop's next is door handles locks and trunk lock and side vent. Was going to shave the cowl and wiper's but right now it's my daily driver so that will wait. Also took off the fender chrome trim.
I don't understand what you are doing to the car, but it's your car. One thing I would say is that you would have been money ahead to have a 67 Skylark since any and all GS money from the car is gone with the mod's. A skylark wouldn't take as big of a hit on what you are doing with the car. On the other side though, you should be able to find buyers for the stuff you've taken off. Someone is looking for all that GS badging, the trim and for sure the "scoops". You can recoup some of the lost GS value at least.
You have a very nice car and I agree that you have the right to do what you want but shave all those things just removes the identity of the car IMHO.. I have GS 400 and I love all the originality with the upgraded steering, braking handling pro cruising aspet.. take a look at this link below and see what I mean... http://www.lateral-g.net/members/papadopoulos/
I like the clean smooth look. I don't have the gs 400, it's the california and that black one in the link is sick. There's a part of me that said I should leave it stock but since I have no intension's to sell it I may aswell customize it to what I like. I have a question where can I find the trim that goes across the lower part of the trunk mine is dented pretty bad or can it be fixed...?
looks nice George! You aren't going to find a lot of support here for your modified unfortunately. I am in your corner though! Here is my friend Dan's 67
