unreal 33K mile 1 owner Buick Skylark unrestored (pictures and story)

My Step Dad just picked this car up last week. Unsure to what the plans are for the car rather to sell or keep. The car is a one owner bought by a GM employee right here in our town local Buick dealership. He bought the car thinking that 1972 was going to be the last year for the skylark line. They traded a 1965 Buick skylark in on the car. The car was stored in a garage and plans where to save it for there grandson . Long story short the Original owner passes away and his wife called the grandson up and told him...." we have saved this car for you all these years it yours come get it" . He replied back it's ugly I don't want it! Anyway she decided to sell it and we where pased the word about the car.
The car is a time capsule and not even any of the orginal weather stripping is cracking or hard. no rust at all!!!! car was never in the elements. All factory everything . Wires, points , plugs, belts , hoses. I have never seen a car in this good of shape and this orginal. It is like walking in a buying the car in 1972.
We have all the paperwork. Window sticker and sales invoice and some othere papers.

This car should go in a museum or a series car collector. We would be willing to do that as we are unsure what plans are for the car. Check out the pictures. This is a unrestored orginal buick!

 

Wow...it's a nice one! Would love to look under the hood.

 

Nice find. The CB antenna on the trunk is perfect!!!!

 

I will get a couple shots of the engine for you and post on here later. Stop back later this evening . I will get some trunk and engine shots.

 

Typical for that time frame right? however it had to go...LOL

 

wow very nice. those front seats look wonderful along with the rest of the car!

 

Awesome find! I'd keep it & drive it.:Brow:

 

I bought an exact copy of that car in Montana . it was the same right down to the color of the interior and exterior. it had 52000 miles on it. very nice find

 

Thats awesome! I wouldnt change a thing cosmetically on that car. Just drive and enjoy!

 

Wow! that looks EXACTLY like a guy that goes to a local cruise-in in Laurinburg NC's car... I haven't been in about two months due to work rotation (could only make it twice a month at best). I had not seen him there in several months before that...He was Ex military, and a Reired police officer... Original owner also...EXACTLY the same... year, color, top, interior... Hope it wasn't me cruise-in buddy...That would take the Buick contingient down to TWO owners...

 

Looks like Antique Gold?

 

Yep that's the color :TU:

 

That is a great looking car.
I wouldnt change a thing as far as how it looks.

 

we dont plan on changing anything . However we are unsure to rather we will keep it or sell it as of yet.

 

install a set of 15x7 rallyes + tires and drive it. i would not trust the original tires, at all.

 

Those had to be the six most beautiful words you've ever heard!!---"It's ugly I don't want it".

Cool looking find. Would be great to use to document finishes...especially on the underside if it's as clean under there as it is up top.

Foolish youth.....gotta love that!!

 

Very Nice, Indeed!! I bought my '73 Olds with 33,000m and it that same color interior. But that was in 1982!!! :TU:

 

My exact thought !

 

Some more pics and info on the car . Under hood and trunk to come. Took it for 20 mile ride today and other than a few adjustments it drives great.
