    -1967 buick skylark sport coupe.

    -1970 455 engine swap with ta headers, ta frame pads, electronic ignition conversion in factory distributer, with rev limiter. holley 4150-950 double pumper, i have a holley 4160-750 (vac secondary with choke) ill throw in that i swap in the cold months/road trips. rare old poiston cast aluminum valve covers, aluminum 4 row radiator with duel electric fans and deraile pulse width modulated fan controller/fan shroud, 2.5" duel flow master exhaust with super 40 mufflers, ported heads......
    i have the original numbers matching 340 in my parents barn in Connecticut going with it if buyer wants it and goes and gets it.

    -th400 transmission. its a BB coded buick transmission. i did a full rebuild with every seal, bushing, bearing and clutch in it. has trans-go shift kit with duel feed direct clutch. houghs 2500 stall tq converter.

    -66 Chevelle 12 bolt posi rear end. i rebuilt with all new bearings and re-geared it with 3.08 gears after driving from Connecticut to Texas @ 60-65 mph with 3.55 gears. cruises at 80mph now and will still roast the tires from a stop by just stomping the gas. UMI rear upper and lower control arms.

    -replaced all body mounts with energy suspension poly mounts.

    -factory power disc brake conversion up front

    -factory power windows! all work. this is an awesome thing in a hardtop. i drove dads chevelle with crank windows and made me love this in my car. tinted windows with 20% nano ceramic tint. $600 to do this and worth every penny. can actually feel the difference in the heat that comes through it. crazy how good it is compared to normal metal tint

    -factory power steering with quick ratio steering box from a camaro i believe (have to check notes on that)

    -factory a/c thats cold in the texas heat. i fully rebuilt the hvac system and box. resealed everything, new blower motor, resister, a/c compressor, updated a/c throttle valve for r-134a. replaced all a/c vac lines with factory- color coded vac lines. new recirculation valve. new drier

    -pulled interior and cleaned floor, chipped out old seam sealer, put new seam sealer, painted factory floor (have pics of all of this to show how great and zero rust there was before beginning.), dyno matted entire floor firewall to trunk(stopped where rear seat and trunk meet.) tapped it all. installed factory sound deadener over it and carpet. floor temps over headers dropped over 100 degrees and way quieter driving now.

    -auto sound radio. aux input. digital but looks like oem radio. i took it apart and removed the green leds and installed soft white led to make it match factory dash light color. i hid a cigar plug under dash and put a bluetooth recever into that so i can stream music with no wires and looks old school still. works great. aftermarket kick panels with 6" auto sound speakers. new 2 way auto sound speaker in dash. new 6x9 speaker in factory package trey.

    -everything works as it should. just passed texas state inspection. i daily drive it alot. ive roadtripped all over new england with it. i drove to texas from ct with it. ive gone from fort worth to south padre island with it. never broke down, never had an issue. great car.

    im an ASE master certified, EVT master certified mechanic for 20+ years....i did all the work, but as you can see, im not a body guy. the car has a 20 year old restoration and the paint had small bubbles when i got it. it was good for years till i got to texas and the sun and heat burst all the bubbles and now it has rust spots. idk how to fix that and i have looked for a year and cant find a body shop near me that can do rot repair.
    you can see from the pics that the bottom needs some love. has holes on the lower fender sections, small one in pass door, and its crusty under the skirts. ive just been enjoying it as it is, but would love to get it fixed. id like someone to buy it and fix the body up. but if not, its a great roadtrip car!
