    whamo 454 71 skylark custom

    skylark grill

    That car has the same grill as mine. It appears to be a grill for a skylark custom (chrome bars).

    Well it's finally here, just got back from checking it out. It is almost exactly as seller listed it. Original cortez gold, missing vinyl top (seller did not list this but I knew from pics) Body is good, quarters and doors are real good. Might need a drivers fender but won't know for sure till I get molding off. Interior is mostly gone or shot, carpets gone floor is solid, one small spot of rust through in trunk. Everything else underneath seems solid. Car runs o.k. but seems like it needs carb work. As far as I can tell hasn't been registered since 03 so no surprise there. All in all very happy with what I got. Oh yeah numbers matching motor too. Not that it matters much, but still nice and good condition on the rims. Now the spending starts. What to buy first? Gonna GS it up a bit without getting too carried away. Might even go the post the progress with photo's route, we'll see.
    As for the grill whamo's right, car is a custom and it does not have a GS grill (yet)
