    please pull off all of the skylark specific parts and maybe store them before you send it to the crusher, because although there may be a bunch of x-bodies out there, the skylarks are rarer. how are the tail lights? wimpy65 is looking for a set. also go to www.stevesnovasite.com and post it on their classified section.
    how is the interior? what color is the interior? buckets? is it a manual? console or steering column shift?
    i am interested in the sport mirrors and front bumper filler that goes between the bumper and grill (the bigger piece) and maybe grill if it is good.

    It's a 7.5 --

    I will pull off the specific parts before it goes to the crusher -- don't worry! :TU:

    As for the interior, it is in terrible shape overall. It doesn't have the bucket seats. I will take more pictures today and post later tonight.

    I will take off the following:

    -Grill
    -head and tail lights
    -chrome around windows
    -windows
    -mirrors
    -doors
    -front bumper
    -engine/headers
    -stock radio
    -stock steering wheel
    -console
    -hood
    -trunk hood
    -stock hubcaps

    I don't know how to take the chrome off by the windows -- if worst comes to worst I will just plasma cut around the steel and leave everything intact before it goes to the crusher. It won't be going until sometime this summer. Most of it will be going on ebay perhaps as I don't know the value of most. I will let all of you know when everything is ready to go.

    At first glance it doesn't look bad, but it's past the point of restoration. The frame is in terrible condition and rusted through in many area. The interior is virtually done for, and the transmission is also shot. The amount of body work to be done to it is more than I would want to spend. I would sell it locally if there was interest, but even after advertising it -- I got nothing.

    Takes up room and I have no interest or need for it. Therefore, it's time to go bye bye.

    Yap. I'm selling the parts to actually get more guitar and bass gear -- my other hobby.
