1967 Buick Skylark

Clear

Here is the rare chance to own the wagon we all wish we had growing up. Up for sale is a 1967 Buick Sport Wagon built as GM could have made this model. That being said, I am selling this now because my son just retired from the Army Special Forces and he needs some stimulus money to begin his well earned, civilian life. This project started with a1967 Buick Sport Wagon from the dry, eastern side of Washington State. The Sport Wagon used a 120-inch wheelbase that was 5 inches longer than the other Skylark four-door sedans and wagons. The 1964 to 1967 Sport Wagons had a Sky Roof that consisted of four tinted glass panels surrounding the elevated section of the roof. I have owned the car for 7 years and can virtually guarantee that you will have the only one at any cruise night or car show.
