Here's a beautiful semi custom 1965 Buick Skylark Convertible that is mostly new or rebuilt . Z plant Fremont CA car which has never had any RUST or patch panels and still has all original chrome . Let's start with running gear . Original motor 355 Wildcat ( 300 ci 11 to 1 compression ) runs great . Everything under hood is new or rebuilt other than guts of motor and has never been repainted other than I touched up top of radiator . Timing gear were replaced , water pump , fuel pump , starter , Edelbrock Elec Choke 600 cfm carb ( have original ) , Petronix electronic ignition put in original dist , later high power internal regulator alt , 2 1/2 " 3 chamber flow master exhaust etc . Transmission is rebuilt out of a Grand National 200 R Overdrive ( replacing stock 300 SP 2 speed ) and was done by shop so kickdown etc works correctly . Front end was completely rebuilt and Power Disc Brakes where added . Front and rear sway bars so really a tight driving car . Exterior , Paint was done in early to mid 80's and still looks great since it's been garaged most of it's life ( Shell Beige same as original ) . Some small imperfections and little nicks ( I touched up so hard to see unless looking for them ) , original chrome is in very good condition , front bumper has one small ding but has no pitting front or rear , I added wheel opening moldings , glass is super nice and car is very straight . I'd only paint if I wanted to win shows it's perfect for driver / weekend local shows in my book . Interior , I had body shop completely take apart even windshield out painted dash correct semi gloss black , added 70 15 " GS style sport steering wheel , deluxe 65 seat belts , had custom ALL NEW ( seats including pads , door panels , visors , handles , carpet everytthing inside with carpet or covered was redone ) Marine Leather interior installed to look stock and parade boot to match ( Interior was Saddle ) , added Super Rare Restored 65 Ironing Board console , Tilt steering was in car already , Alpine Cd player ( am/fm/I pod plug in glove box ) mounted under dash with no cutting , Custom Auto kick panels and upgraded dash speaker . Top , I had body shop removed frame had it blasted and painted same time as dash was done . Installed top of line Stay Fast top with custom ordered tinted plastic window and all new weatherstripping . Buick 15X7 Buick Rallies with big white letter BFGoodrich Radial TA tires 235/60/15 front 255/60/15 rear . I have extra original parts , new Finned Polished Valve covers etc that come with car if you buy at full price . I prefer someone coming and looking at car in person or having car inspected . I'm willing to drive car to airport or to shop of your choose for inspection . Feel free to call or email with questions and will do my best to take any pictures needed . My plan was pro touring with best of Buick stuff . Thanks , Mike 831-726-7270 ...... I just reduced car to my bottom line with everything . If you make an offer understand I will not accept unless you want it without extras ( original parts and new valve covers etc ) and I'd be willing to remove some extras I added to car such as console , GS steering wheel , stereo , wheel opening moldings plus more . Thanks for all the kind words and offers but I just wanted to clear the air . Happy Easter ............ http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1965/Buick/Skylark/2-Door-Convertible/Values
