    BUICKRAT Got any treats?

    Looks like a spring ring to me, also, brake pedal looks more like 16k.

    I really like this '70 more-door Skylark! I agree with James, I would price it at $8500.

    And the engine compartment is incredibly clean for a car with 116k miles. I bought a '72 Skylark 4-door with 25k miles from the family that bought it new and the engine compartment wasn't as clean as this car. Especially the red paint on the engine.


    I will say that of all of our A-body cars my '72 Skylark 4-door is the most solid feeling while driving. It doesn't rattle or squeak and drives really nice except it still has the original swirl shocks on the rear (we did replace the fronts already).

    It looks like it's got all the 1970's add on accessories such as a bug deflector. CB radio. bullhorn for the CB, compass, is that a 8-track under the dash? Yep, that looks like a real time capsule. Larry.

    My friend went over today to hook up a battery charger and I got a couple of pics before he gave the keys back. They keep them hidden in the house and the car doors locked while it is in garage.

    I am betting that battery was a great investment.

    I think this car is easily worth $7,500, but will have a better chance at such money from buyers in the northern climbs/rustbelt, who will be more appreciative of it's clean Colorado heritage.

    @rolliew, do you mean you don't see $7,500 for the car I posted or for the link you posted?

    The blue post crew cab. Not being argumentative but usually someone on here wants a good deal or at least goes and checks it out.
    I hope he gets $7,500 but what would the price need to be for someone on here to actually go and purchase it?
    No bs price where it's a done deal?

    The car is cool, not shaming it. I just think the buyer pool is awfully small, especially with the price of daily essentials currently?

    Am I way off?

    I think $7500 is reasonable, and if I was local and didn't have to spend $1k+ in shipping I would go and check it out, and I don't even like 4 door sedans.

    Hopefully we will get a hint of actual purchase price when the time comes. I am curious.

    The one I posted above was asking $7500 earlier this year and it sold. No idea how much less tthe seller took but the car posted here is every bit as nice if not nicer. Certainly more desirable colors and engine.

    I drove out to Denver and checked it out last Thursday night and it is a absolute cream puff, This car has had unbelievable care in a heated garage since it was new. I struck a deal with the owners just yesterday and I'm getting ready to leave in a few minutes for the drive out to Denver to pick it up. I'm going to haul it in my enclosed trailer and try to maneuver thru the craziness of Denver traffic. Wish me Luck! Larry.
