    Hi everyone! Im new to the site. I'm from Washington state and bought it out of Portland Oregon. I'm new to buicks also but I love the mid 60s cars. So i came across this 1965 skylark sport coupe with a 4.9/300ci with a 4 barrel intake and 3 speed trans.Unrestored no rust with one repaint. Interior is all there and missing nothing. With the classic car market blowing up in prices,I felt I did ok at 12k .I would like to know what all you buick enthusiasts think? I'd love to also pick everyone's brains on the best places to get engineparts and interior/body parts.thanks everyone! 20210422_182311.jpg

    Hi
    Welcome
    I’m in sunny southern Washington
    The interior color code is on the firewall data plate. Post a picture of that and it can be deciphered.
    I look forward to seeing you and the car at a Buick event some day

    Yes.the original owner had tracked down the intake.it has a pretty bad oil pan leak .so I plan on pulling the engine this fall to reseal it. Hope I don't find too many surprises.
