I found a 65 skylark that is being parted. Guy wants $200 for the rear end, drum to drum. No idea what ratio or anything else. Ultimately I'd like to have an early well built 8.5 I thought about picking this one up for a spare though. Is it even worth it? I currently have a 65 Skylark with an 8.2 already so this one wouldn't be an upgrade.
I was just thinking about getting it as a spare. IlI' pass on it, there's always something else more pressing on this car anyways.
I've got a lot of "spares" just in case I need them. Trouble is, I haven't needed them. I've also bought parts for my `65 that I should use but probably never will. Just not enough hours in the days and the older I get the shorter the days seem to get.
You can have the peg leg 8.2 axle from my 70 for free. I feel guilty tossing it but it’s just in the way.
well if anyone wants to sell some of this dead weight I am always buying cores. Problem is ...they are always too far away and not all in the same area....lol. Anyone coming to the Norwalk Ohio Buick Olds event I will pick them up there if we can agree on prices. Jim J D RAce
