Purchased August 2008 on eBay from 1st owner in Bulverde, Texas (north of San Antonio) Trailered it to Texas City, Texas. Immediately started to make it roadworthy. It does not burn oil, but does drip it a little bit! All glass is perfect...really! All windows roll up and down perfectly. Power Steering is super easy.

If you would like to come by and drive the car and live locally, no problem. Next question...will it drive to Dallas, El Paso? I don't know...the fartherest I've driven it was to Beaumont, Texas and back the same day. With the windows down and music coming in loud and clear, the Buick handled very well.On Jun-14-10 at 23:47:12 PDT, seller added the following information: I also have the CD of over 600 pages of the Buick Skylark and other Buick cars and more of the Service Manual, Parts, and restoration that will go with the car... Clarification on the door locks...the original key opens perfectly the driver's door, hence the passenger door-the key goes in, but does not unlock. The trunk key is correct and opens the trunk, but not very well. That is why I purchased the correct GM locks and keys for the 2 doors and trunk, but did not change out.
