72 Skylark Custom.... bought it with an original 3 speed manual trans on the column. Dropped a Muncie M20 in it, buckets with mini console, rally gauges, dash tach, TA intake Holley 650, GS hood and air cleaner. now just need to swap the steering column to get rid of the column shifter lever.
I currently have a 1968 Skylark Custom that I acquired from the second owner . He purchased it from the original owner who I spoke with who is a spry 85 yrs young. The car has 126k which I believe to be accurate. Ivory mist gold w/ blk interior: 350 4bbl ,a/c,p/s,clock& AM radio that works .With a thorough tune up,carb(thanks Mark) idles smooth at 600rpms in drive.Car is a pleasure to drive !
I currently have 3 drop tops. My 70 GS455 , a 70 sky custom and a 71GS350. (or 4 if you count the 72 suncoupe!:laugh Only the 70GS is on the road, but the suncoupe is getting real close to being done. the 70 customs a basket case :shock: and the 71 GS is a future project
restoring a 69 gs400, fireglow, black top, black int. non-a/c, auto console. body is back on the frame, tub is done. It's big brother is a restored 69 fireglow stage1. runs 11:60's, all steel car, drive any where.
Fireglow is an awesome color! I have a fireglow 69 GS convert, white top (factory was black) with black bench.
69 Skylark Custom conv Ii just picked up this conv. never been a buick person but really like the lines on this car. only thing is, I can't find the power top switch. it has pistons installed but I cant find a switch at all
I have a 72 gs350 convertible fire red w white top. Have only owned it for about a year. unmolested all original.
I guess I have to put my 2 up here; 1966 Buick Electra 225, and 1967 Buick Wildcat Custom. Love 'em both; and they've got an interesting story too. I used the blue one on a trade to get the red one, and then 10 years later (and 3 different owners later) the blue one was traded back to me, all restored and fixed up. It cost me a 46 Buick. It was as if I loaned the car out for 10 years to get fixed! And to top it all off, I rescued the blue one from a wrecker by trading a 64 Olds for it over 25 years ago; - so in essence, the car hasn't cost me a dime as no cash was ever given out to get it.
Hi, Newer to the board and just saw this thread. I have a 1972 455 Buick Centurion that i just started working on.
