Hello everyone, just wanted to share some pictures of my 70 Skylark I purchased from Tim at Mild2Wild. Tim sold me the car as a roller last November. My dad and I did all the work getting the engine and trans. installed, hooking everything up. We would have had it done sooner but I was waiting for a radiator for almost 3 months. The car still needs some fine tuning, and other little odds and ends. But is running and driving great. Carburetor was rebuilt by Ken at everyday performance, 76 Qjet. he did a great job on the rebuild and plating it exactly how I wanted. Engine was built by Rich at Micks performance here in Racine WI. Its a Buick 455 bored to 464, nothing to crazy. 10:1 compression, 73 heads, Edelbrock performer intake, TA 212 cam, TA 1.60 roller rockers, TA oil mods, and TA hei distributor. Transmission is a Tremec TKO 600.
Thanks for sharing Mathouse. That is a really nice looking ride. I love that black and blue look. You should call it the Bruiser. That last picture is kind of cool. The chain link fence reflection sort of makes it look like the entire car is carbon fiber. Are you going to the GS Nationals? I would enjoy seeing it in action.
Glad to see it back on the board! I always liked that car, I bet its a great cruiser with the 6 speed.
Awesome looking ride... glad to see it go to someone here on the board , and going to get used and abused... Love the flat paint job look.
Thank you everybody. Maybe next year I will take it to nationals, but attend in the car show. The engine still has the stock oil pan, or maybe I will have it replaced by then.
